Shepard:

Shepard was stunned to say the least. Andrew his 'creator' or 'user' just told him that the Rachni are on Noveria. Worse is that he will have to kill Liara's mother. This can't be good.

Shepard had switched his computer from his guilty pleasure to research on the Rachni. His eyes quickly would scan over millions of sites that offered advice for killing Rachni. Most said that shotguns were the only acceptable weapon in combat situations dealing with the Rachni. Although, Shepard wanted an opinion from a site that didn't bring pop ups about the genophage every time he clicked the word Krogan.

Scanning through, he found that they breed from a queen like most hive mind insects and that they have workers and warriors. He went on to read that queens have the power to overtake someone's mind and use them for their own purpose. He began to worry but then something struck him. Andrew didn't seem worried about this at all.

Shepard finally decided to leave it. He then got up and went to eat. Figuring that there would be no problems with actually not starving himself. Shepard opened the door and saw Tali was about to walk in.

Shepard looked at Tali with a surprised face, "Oh, Tali. What are you doing here?"

Tali looked behind her and gestured at Shepard's room, "Could we step inside?'

Shepard stepped back and allowed Tali to enter. Once she was inside he closed the door and allow for the privacy she requested, "What can I do for you Tali?"

Tali crossed her arms and began to pace beck and forth, "Why did you decide to take that bosh'tet with us?"

Shepard eyes widened, he had been asking himself the same question, "I… honestly don't know."

Tali stopped and stared at him, "You just let this guy who tazed our friend to waltz onto Noveria with us, no questions asked? What if he tries to escape?"

Shepard opened his mouth to reply but the words didn't come to him. He sat for a second and then knew what to say, "Because, this is my mission and I will take responsibility for him. As for tazing Garrus, He was attacked the kid. Ergo, it was just self-defense. I already talked with Garrus about it, he agreed that he would have done the same if he was in a prison cell and attacked."

Tali stamped her foot, "Fine, but I want to go with."

Shepard was perplexed by the Tali's need to go, "Why's that?"

Tali kept her stance, "If he's going to screw us over, I want to be the one to shoot him."

Andrew:

Exiting Shepard's room it just hit me. I looked down at my clothes and saw I was wearing my "The Flash" tee shirt and a pair of shorts. Now regularly, I wouldn't mind, but Noveria was a frozen planet and I would be getting shot at. I quickly pulled up my omni-tool and tried to check my current credit count.

It looked as if more than Andrew Shepard's name followed me. I had 40,000 creds in my account and some strange programs built in to my omni-tool. I figured better to get the armor first and then focus on the programs next.

I stepped over to the elevator and hit down. I was waiting in the elevator for the length of time I don't even want to talk about when a chill suddenly ran down my spine. I brought my arms in to keep some warmth when matrix code over took my eyesight again.

I quickly blinked it off and felt dizziness come over me. I thought about what I had just saw and I think there was a picture in the code. I just show my head and continued to wait for the elevator to open.

Over the intercom I heard Joker announcing we had just broken Noveria's atmosphere. "Great, I hope I have enough time to take a shower", I muttered as the doors to the elevator opened releasing me from the steel cage. I stepped out and walked over to the requisitions officer.

"Hey there", he glanced down at his omni-tool to read my IFF, "Andrew. What can I get for you?'

"I need the best Scorpion, light weight, armor you have."

The req. Officer turned around and began shuffling through his gear. "Ah, there it is", he finally announced. He then slapped it down on the table, "Scorpion armor level VI that will be 27,510 creds."

I transferred the creds and grabbed my armor, "Thank you."

"Wait, seeing as how you don't have any weapons", he pulled a pistol out from behind his back, "how about this HMWP level VIII?"

I thought about it for a minute, "How much?"

He smiled like he had hooked me, "How much you got left."

"6,000." It was a total bluff. But I had to see if he would take it.

He thought for a long while. "I can't sell this for less than 13,000."

I got devious by this point, "Take the six as a down payment. Then, after Noveria I will get you an additional 9,000."

He quickly took the offer, "Done!"

He threw me the pistol collapsed and I transferred more money. I was quickly off after that hoping to get a shower in before the mission. I ran in, stripping quickly trying to get it over with before someone came in. I almost did too, till Liara had to clean up.

It was the most awkward thing I ever had to endure. A woman, that monogender thing is bull shit, is in the showers with me. Now, I could have finished and left but she took the shower next to me and began trying to chat. I kind of froze at this point.

"So Andrew, how has your short time on the Normady treated you? Aside, from me putting you in a stasis."

God I hate how coolly she is playing this off, "Good, where Wrex hit me is a little sore but I'll get over it. You going in on Noveria too?"

"Yes, Shepard decided to take me along. He believes my biotics will be useful against my mother's. It is interesting reasoning, but I am more interested in how you got here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well it was a biotic power that I have never seen before."

"It wasn't biotics, I was zapped in here because of an error message."

"Aw, yes sticking to your video game world story."

"It's not a story if it's true. I beat this game tons of time. I can tell you everything that will happen up to the point that Shepard dies."

"Is that so, why won't you tell us any of it if you know it."

"Because Liara, what if you try to change things in the game and you end up in the situation I tell you but way worse."

Liara brought out some body wash and began lathering herself, I could stop watching until she spoke, "Can you answer me one question?"

I looked in the other direction, "Depends on what the question is."

"What form of government was the Prothian people accustomed to."

"Empire, slaves and all."

Liara looked at me like I was crazy, "You have to be joking me. All the evidence points to them being a democracy. Uplifting other societies to join them in the galaxy to create a perfect society. They're the ones we got the idea of the Citadel council from."

"Believe what you will, I bet when you hear it from Javik I will be there to say 'I told you so.'"

Before she could respond I was out of there. I couldn't risk telling her any more. Especially, with that look she had, I was tempted to tell her something else.

I got on my gear and went to talk to Garrus. "Yo, Valkyrie."

Garrus looked away from his console, "Its Vakerian."

"I think Valkyrie fits better. Makes it sound like you are about to take the people you kill to the afterlife."

Garrus looked over to the Mako, "Ha, yeah but you know what?"

I was smiling from the pun I just made, "What?"

Garrus gave me a look directly in the eyes, "I really would like to know your real name."

I shook my head, "Look, Garrus while I'm in this universe my name is Andrew."

Garrus leaned in close, "Yeah, but what about outside this universe?"

I gave a laugh, "Okay Garrus, the second someone else from my universe comes to this universe I'll tell you."

Garrus gave a Turian grin, "I'll hold you to that."

I ran my hand through my hair, "Yeah, you probably will. So any idea when I am supposed to leave?"

Joker's voice cut in as if to answer my question, "We have arrived at the facility. Will Wrex, Liara, Tali and Andrew please come to the air lock?"

Garrus just smiled, "Right now."

I looked at my bundle of clothes, "Crap, Garrus, What am I supposed to do with stuff?"

Garrus looked around then turned around and hit some buttons on the console and the Mako back opened up, "Here toss it in here. We will find you a locker, later."

"Thanks", was all that was said before I threw the clothes in and made my way up to the airlock.

Tali:

Tali herd the call and left engineering. She went through the doors to engineering and caught the elevator right before Andrew hit the button to close the doors. She stepped inside trying to give off as much anger as she could.

The fact that Andrew paid her no attention but a glance or two made her a little at ease but his stupid smile he was wearing. It's like he was just excited for this mission. They were about to take on a mission that could possibly be the most dangerous than Therum and this idiot wasn't taking it seriously.

Tali finally rolled her eyes, "Would you get rid of that stupid smile?"

Andrew just stared at her. It was all Tali could do to keep from smacking him in the face. She couldn't read his expression but his body language told that he was surprised. Then, Andrew got a look that didn't give Tali the feeling he was about to say something nice.

"Well, at least people can see my expression", then he went back to smiling like he was listening to his favorite song.

Tali clenched her fists, "That's not an accurate assumption."

Andrew's eyes grew wide and as soon as the doors opened and Andrew was gone. Tali didn't even notice he was moving until he was across the hall and heading up the stairs. She hurried to catch up but couldn't move at the speed he was. Finally, she got to the airlock as everyone was ready.

Shepard nodded to Joker who hit the button and opened the doors. They all walked through and entered the frozen wasteland. Tali looked around and saw Shepard's eyes go to security officers up at the entrance to the facility.

Shepard turned back to everyone, "Okay we are going to head inside but the security over there doesn't look too happy to see us. Whatever you do don't hand over your weapons. Got it?"

Tali answered with the two others yes but all she heard Andrew say something about it 'being as cold as an itch'. She chose not to question him about it and they went up to the officers.

Shepard began speaking with them and the rest of the crew stood by incase he needed them. Everyone except Andrew who leaned up against some crates and began fiddling with his omni-tool. Tali couldn't help but look over his shoulder to see what he was doing. He looked to be hitting buttons trying to open up some programs Tali had never seen before.

She decided to just ask about it when they got inside. Things were getting heated in Shepard's conversation and as he was going for his pistol, a freeze drone launched past them and into the security commander.

Andrew:

I didn't want to freeze the lady. Honestly, I just wanted to open up this damn locked program. When I did a blue button came to life on my omni-tool. I decided to hit the button and this caused it to move to my palm. I pressed it again and it fired. It was a mistake anyone could have made.

I looked over to the lady in time to watch her fall to the ground and shatter. Then, the place lit up with fire. The security officers opened fire on us and we ducked into cover. Well, actually it was more like Shepard tackled me into cover while the others dove.

Shepard gave me a scowl, "Andrew! Why the hell did you do that?!"

I was just stunned, "I..I..I was messing with some programs on my omni-tool and it just fired that drone!"

Shepard face palmed, "Well, I hope you have an idea! Because we aren't hurting those security personnel!" As Shepard said that Wrex blew one away with a blast from his shotgun.

Shepard turned away to yell as Wrex and left me sitting there. It was a good thing that I was in cover because I was too scared to move. I could only think to myself. How can I fight? I never fought someone in my life and now I have to take on people who have guns. This isn't good at all.

With that I face palmed, and when my hand touched my face the matrix came back with a TV screen. On that TV screen was a quick montage of all the video games I had played and then all the fighting moves and accuracy shooting in those games flowed into my brain and then the numbers fade. I was left completely aware and ready for the situation.

My body began acting on its own, moving and reacting were reflex not thought. I quickly made my way out of cover and dodged bullets and swatted grenades as I made my way to the security personnel. When I got there I began using the freeze program to render them unable to move.

First, I blasted the Turian as he put his shotgun sights on me. The I turned to the bitch that would attack us later and did the same to her. The I turned to the last guard, she had a pistol trained on me. I quickly smacked the pistol up and blasted her in the face with the freeze drone. She was frozen before her pistol hit the ground.

When I was done I felt as though I created a master piece. The guards looked like statues that would be placed in a crystal museum. Each guard frozen in a combat stance, and here on Noveria they wouldn't get out of it.

I turned and started walking up the stairs but quickly turned back to the squad, "You guys coming or not?"

They all just stared at me. Not a good sign.
