Chapter 4

One month had passed since the Geth had reunited with the Quarians. The majority of the Migrant fleet moved to repopulate Rannoch while the rest remained within Imperial space. The Empire had granted permission for the Quarians to colonize the system, having already made the two other solid planets habitable with the Geth having transplanted flora and fauna from Rannoch. Now Shala'Raan was meeting with the Emperor to receive his supposed miracle cure for her people's weakened immune systems. Truth be told, she was very nervous 'What if it doesn't work? After all, his people couldn't be very familiar with our biology yet after just one month.' She had already convinced herself that it wouldn't work by the time she entered the main room aboard The World Eater.

What she never suspected was that the Emperor would be standing in the room surrounded by crates of jewelry. "Greetings... My Lord.. You sent word that your solution to my peoples problem was ready?" said a confused Shala, though at this point she was wondering why anything he did confused her anymore, she should expect nothing to make sense when it comes to the Empire.

Magnus pulled out a necklace "Miss Raan, good to see you, you are correct. I have the answer to your little problem right here." He said as he passed her the necklace. "This is known as a necklace of disease and poison immunity. It offers the wearer 100% resistance to any harmful effects from foreign substances. My Falmer engineers tell me it works by forming a layer over the cells in your body that prevents them from changing in any negative way. While it's nice to know, my people have been making these things long before we knew how they worked on such a scale. Ah, but i digress. With these, your people will never need their suits again.. unless venturing into the void or somewhere they cannot breath of course. Feel free to ask some of my men for assistance in loading them onto your ship. If you'll excuse me, I have an Empire to keep, Keelah se'lai." he said with a strange twitch of his eye and vanished in a swirl of light.

While skeptical at first, Eventually she shrugs and asks one of the Big green skinned aliens and one that looks to be the same race as the Emperor to help her move the crates. 'why not? It's not like magic necklace are any more crazy than a guy who rides a giant animal through space and teleports to another dimension that is composed of himself.' Thought the slightly unhinged admiral as she laughed, put on the necklace, and removed her mask.

5th era 512, Second seed: The first Quarian city begins construction on the fourth planet from the star in what has been named the "Artifact system" due to obvious reasons and uncreative Imperial officials. The planet has been named Haven and is the first city in the Empire to utilize element zero tech.

5th era 512, Frostfall: The entire Migrant Fleet has been repaired and retrofitted to serve as combat capable warships. The Quarian and Geth fleets are fully Integrated into the Imperial navy, serving to guard the relay filled system on the Empire's doorstep, named The Nexus.

5th era 513, Sun's dawn: A lone ship is found drifting on the outskirts of The Nexus. Boarding parties find a single undamaged egg, which is sent to the Falmer research outpost in the Krosis system.

5th era 513 Rain's hand: Geth intercept transmissions from Council patrols searching for the Migrant Fleet.

5th era 518: Quarian Birthrates skyrocket, causing an increase in soul gem sales for enchanting. In unrelated news, the Batarian Hegemony sees an increase in ships lost in the Attican Traverse.

5th era 520: The mysterious egg is revealed to be of Rachni origin. The Rachni queen is given colonization rights in one of the systems connected to The Nexus, under the condition that her species enter a military alliance with the Empire. A collision between two Quarian ships releases eezo into the atmosphere of Haven.

5th era 524: All Quarian children born on Haven in the last 4 years exhibit biotic potential. Studies conclude that the immunity enchantments prevent the harmful side effects of element zero exposure while allowing the positive ones. Exposing pregnant Quarians to eezo becomes common practice throughout the Empire. The Geth begin development on biotic implants for their creators.

5th era 526: Biotic amps housing Geth programs to regulate efficiency begin mass production. The Quarians finally have an equivalent to magic.

5th 528: An experimental stealth ship, utilizing mass effect technology and magic, enters it's construction phase.

5th era 530: A Geth spy drone detects a Turian patrol near Relay 314. Emperor Magnus transports the Quarian/Geth fleet to the Rachni system to avoid detection and moves the relay in the Artifact system to the Nexus system. The Empire's combined fleets of Falcon's accompany The World Eater to The Nexus system in a show of force, hoping to use their numbers to encourage the Turians to back down.

A/N: It is indeed the Sol system, for those who had guessed. For whatever reason, Humanity didn't develop on Earth in this story. I also am uploading these chapters as i write them, I started this story the day I posted. The way I see it, the Council really has no reason to be afraid of AI unless they watched too many sci-fi movies, know that the Protheans fought synthetics, or they are afraid of someone becoming stronger than them. We know that the Geth have been waiting for the Quarians to come home to Rannoch and that they want peace with organics, that only changed for some of them when Sovereign showed up. If the Quarians were to suddenly decide to make peace with the Geth, i see no reason why the Geth would say no or have a long drawn out conversation about it. It is inefficient. If anyone has suggestions on who should be in the Tongues or aboard my equivalent of the Normandy, feel free to name some character from either series and I'll see if I can make them work. After this chapter, we are moving on to the galactic stage so chapters should be longer and therefore might take longer... considering all the dialogue I will have to write and be unsatisfied with.
