The charred pod laid before Mordin, Miranda, Samara, Joker, and Shepard, who stood in front of the distinctive blue and white strips of the Blue Suns Mercenaries. Shepard slithered nearer to the pod as several valves on the air tight hatch opened. A loud aggravating hiss from the escaping air poisoned the tranquil, quiet night.

"Shepard be careful, the Blue Suns and us aren't exactly on good terms!" huffed Miranda as she drew out her pistol aiming it at the hatch.

Shepard kneeled at the hatch's holo-terminal, the glowing blue and yellow buttons flickered as Shepard proceeded to hack the console. After several more minutes of intense scything the hatch hissed as it opened.

"Samara, get your biotics ready!" ordered Miranda, acknowledging the order, Samara began to glow blue with a thick film of biotic energy.

Joker and Mordin dashed to Shepard's side as they lifted the hatch open revealing a lone casualty, a human female, resting in her seat still strapped into it. She was physically fit with the way the armor contoured to her body she had a hourglass shaped body. She had a body close to Samara's but had slightly smaller breasts and a curvier body. Her hair was a dark brunette in color which was cut barely above the shoulders which was extremely curvy. She was dead, her body seemed to have sustained no external injuries but in closer examination a five inch gash on the side of the pod had most-likely caused her to suffocate without oxygen.

"It's a mercenary, Shepard, why are Blue Suns on Virmire?" questioned Joker with a puzzled and half-asleep tone.

"I'm not sure, Joker, all I know is that she's dead." as he pulled her out of the wreckage. Several feet away he laid her down on the sand as he amble towards Joker.

" Hey, Shepard I'm gonna head to the cockpit for some shuteye, alright?."

"Alright, Joker contact Doctor Chakwas and inform her to prepare this body and store it in the morgue until we come up with a better way to dispose of the body." Shepard ordered before he was interrupted by Mordin.

"Commander, I wish to exam this body."

"Scratch that order Joker, help Mordin take the body to his lab. Samara go with him, too. Miranda, I need a full report on Blue Suns activity in this area by the morning, so get to work."

"Yes, Commander." they all said as they left to their various tasks.

With that the situation was concluded, the body was lifted by Samara's biotics and carried to the Professor's lab with Mordin eagerly scuttling behind with his hands clamped together like an overly excited child. As Samara and Mordin headed to the Professor's lab, Joker returned to the bridge where he went back to sleep and Commander Shepard went back to his quarters. As the two made it to the Professor's lab, Samara laid the body onto a empty gurney on the right corner of the lab as Mordin began to gather the necessary tools for the examination. Samara went back to her room as the transparent doors locked behind her, as Mordin began to exam the body.

"Audio Log #1, The mercenary seemed to sustained no external injures minus several cuts on her suit and face, will place medigel to afflicted wounds. The mercenary most-likely expired from the gash on the pod which vented all oxygen from the shuttle. The body seems to be completely intact, will proceed with examination 23342A, the strange Prothean disk, the body can wait."

Mordin neared the artifact which was still activated but this time a strange button was protruding from the aqua-green orb. As Mordin examined it the orb began to exhibit strange swirls of light as he pressed the button, but as he did he felt a strong, undeniable urge. He had to take a piss. The orb began to fade in color again, so Mordin suspected that it was off, subsequently he scuffled towards the restroom on the other side of the hall. He shuffled out of the room as the disk began to glow again, this time with a more prominent strength. The disk unfolded to reveal a cube-shaped crystal, swirling bluish-white light began to encapsulate the crystal as it began to hover again. The disk hissed and huffed as the crystal activated. The disk spun wildly as the room filled with a deep blue-green light. The ship began to glow dimly, electrical sparks began to dart left and right on the walls as EDI began to scream in what appeared to be pain. It was not heard in the other rooms but only in the lab where the disk blazed wildly. Her mind was being pulled out from the AI core and the ship itself as it manifested as a glowing cloud of light. The cloud of light swirled in the air as it slowly was being pulled into the mercenary's body. It began to twitch and jitter as EDI's life-force filled the body. She opened her eyes to a deep, worried gasp. She sat up on the gurney to see that she was in the merc's body. She lifted her hands to flex her fingers. The idea of small protruding grasping appendages excited her, before, she had to rely on others to gather things but now, she could do it herself. She hopped off the gurney as she shakily tried to walk only to fall and stumble back to her feet.

"Walking is hard." she whispered to herself only to gasp to hear her voice. It was more organic in nature, she still had her voice which she recognized but did not have the synthetic, and unnatural robotic after tone to her voice... she sounded pretty. She felt quite bulky, the armor was weighing her down. She sighed as she rubbed her hand through her hair, the soft, shiny, curly hair felt very appealing to her as she began to walk to the mirror. Unusual to most mercs EDI had 5 inch black heels which seemed ineffective to fighting but she enjoyed the sound of the heels clacking on the metal floor as she faced the mirror on the wall. She gazed at herself seeing her face and chest. She saw the beautiful brunette hair wash over her face as she found that her new platform as she called it, it was somewhat top heavy and bulky to the rear. But as she squeezed her cheeks against each other with her hands she felt the softness of her skin, the royally smooth and slick skin made her remember her time scanning articles on the extranet on Human physiology.

-Flashback-

During Shepard's visit to Illium to visit Liara, EDI was scanning extranet articles on human physiology, the article was "What makes a woman attractive in the eyes of a Man", like a majority of female based articles it was written and edited by a man, whom most-likely was biased in his view on what makes a woman attractive. As she read she whispered it aloud to herself in the A.I core so no one else would hear.

"A woman should have a hourglass shaped body with a large, firm posterior region, as well as breasts of modest size. The face should be smooth and slick with shiny hair of any color."

-Back-

As she looked at herself she thought to herself 'I do believe myself to be... pretty.' She then walked towards the disk and began to ponder how exactly the disk transferred her mind into this body. As she held the disk she heard the door behind her open, it was Mordin, he was humming his trademark song, a scientist salarian, when his eyes widen and his mouth became ajar while he observed EDI examining the artifact. He began to talk with a cough and a raised eyebrow.

"Excuse me who are you and what are you doing with that?", hesaid calmly but with a hint of anger.

"Professor Solus don't you recognize me? It is I, EDI"

"Curious, EDI is it? How did you get into the Merc's body?"

"I was just running updates on the Normandy's Drive core coolant systems when the ship began to glow from this." she said as she held up the artifact. "This must have activated and transferred my mind into this body, But I am not 100 percent how it happened. Perhaps pressing this button will provide an answer." As she pressed the button Mordin walked towards EDI as the orb glowed again to emit a hologram of some kind, displaying a blue humanoid figure and the disk with another pink figure on the opposite side of it, the hologram's disk glowed and swirled as the blue and pink figures' color changed which represented a mind swap. EDI looked at Mordin who had a puzzled but eager face he spoke up again as the disk deactivated.

"Interesting, it appears your consciousness has been transferred by this artifact into this body, It most defiantly some kind of mind transferring device. In the morning I'll introduce you to the crew but for now stay here, ok?"

"Very well, I will remain here, I feel as you organics call ,sleepiness, so I shall rest until the morning." responded EDI as she laid down on the gurney.

With that settled Mordin went to bed and EDI fell asleep on the gurney, it was a long night. So much happened and much explaining was needed in the morning, Mordin was to call everyone to the CIC room where the large galactic holo-map resided. EDI had a new body, the Blue Suns were, for some reason this far out of their territory and Mordin had discovered a Prothean artifact. The new arrival to the crew had herself a long explanation for the morning.
