Orbiting the Moon

The Normandy was orbiting behind the moon just to be safe as they managed to contact Admiral Hackett. They even presented the audio and video evidence they captured about the Hybrid Reapers. Hackett looked white when he heard Commander Hansen's voice and seen her face on the vid.

"Hmm so the Sol system had been reset to another time period of Earth's history?" asked Hackett.

"Most historical event's matches what we know from the time period but we have no way of knowing if it's our Earth." explained Kaidan.

"This is troubling... Hmm I know a Sister team they were helping us with the Crucible project. One of them was pretty convinced someone was planning on sabotaging it. I gave them permission to investigate never heard from that one of them after they made it back to Earth while you were down there as well."

"Who was it?" asked Ashley.

"She looked, sounded and had the same name as Commander Melanie Hansen." said Hackett, "I'll send you her dossier and the reports of her work before she disappeared."

Ashley and Kaidan looked shocked as Ashley spoke, "How can she exist in two places at once?"

"We might have to look at her reports." said Kaidan, "Better yet contact the Commander Hansen we met down there."

Halifax

Now how in blazes was I going to contact the Normandy gang? They had technology far advanced than my current time. Subspace transmissions only went to the International Space Station up to Mars for the Rover Robots. Then again months ago we managed to land a rocket on a comet, so maybe it was possible but not for everyone. I knew this might be a long shot but it was worth trying. I quickly changed into my regular clothes as I logged onto my playthrough of Mass Effect 3 on my computer. I looked at my Shepard as she was more like me than I originally made her look like. She was even in the same clothes I just changed out of, as I saw she was in her Citadel apartment that looked more my style. 'Ok did I download a mod to make this?' I thought, 'And why am I not creeped out by this?'

I got my custom FemShep to her desk as I was surprised that Shepard sat down into her chair. Then my monitor screen turned into the inbox screen look a cross of my email inbox and the game's menu interface with email addresses of the whole crew. Rather than get one of my tech friends to take a look I went ahead and contacted Alenko and Williams. Once I was finished I proof reading it, and for some reason it wouldn't let me use my real last name as I signed it as Melanie RR Shepard on the bottom.

Normandy

Kaidan and Ashley were talking with Liara at her office as she was searching for way to contact Commander Hansen on Earth. Kaidan and Liara tried multiple programs, but it was clear there was nothing to compromise their technology with tech from 150 years ago.

"This sucks." said Ashley, "We've got two Commander Melanie Hansens and we can't contact either one."

"Major Alenko? Lieutenant Commander Williams?" It was Specialist Traynor on the com, "You have a email... Get this it's from someone named Commander Melanie RR Shepard."

A shocked look appeared on their faces as they went to the crew quarters and they both logged on to their messages to see the message.

"Well looks like she figured out a way, although she used Shepard's name." spoke Liara as she looked over Kaidan's shoulder...

"To; Kaidan Alenko, Ashley Williams

Subject: Unexpected Discovery

Believe me I was surprised to see this when I logged on but I need you to come back to Earth. I just managed to get information that is related to your investigation due to the unexplained phenomenons that has merged our worlds or time lines whichever it is. I'll be at Hal-Con in the World Trade and Convention Center in Halifax Nova Scotia, I got three tickets waiting for you at the front desk there. Just say "Our friend Commander Hansen got us tickets" and ask them where to find me I'll be volunteering somewhere.

Later

Com. Melanie Hansen Relic Raider.'

Kaidan then spoke "I accessed her computer when we last met, would certain actions we made at her place cause her to interact with us or change outcomes of?"

"Kaidan stop thinking too hard before you get a migraine that's not caused by your L2 implant." said Ashley.

"Ok Ash. Well it looks like we forgot the simplistic things that both technologies have in common." mentioned Kaidan who like the others felt a little embarrassed, "Liara I hate to ask but please don't be offended but if you're going to come with us you'd might overwhelm people appearance wise."

"I can should look up a mod shield to make our gear look handmade from her time."

"That might work but I was thinking a little low tech to make it more believable to them down there. It's for your protection." replied Ash, "Like a simple make up effect."

"Well that's very simplistic, I just hope nobody touches my hair tentacles." She said before she left the room.

"I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen." Said Kaidan.

Halifax NS, Earth... (2015)

Commander Hadfield was a finally confirmed as a last minute guest at one of my favorite functions being Hal-Con who was only showing up at the Charity ball. As I had been given tickets for it. The next thing was who was I going to ask to accompany me? Most of my friends were away, and Terry... well I didn't want to think about him anymore...

At the convention center l hadn't heard any more intel from the staff about that odd ball larp-er calling himself Savick. Apparently from the staff he only had a day pass, and Interpol said he hadn't showed up anywhere overseas as the RCMP hadn't reported seeing him elsewhere. This was getting more mysterious by the hour. I tried not to let that bother me as I was helping out at one of the tables for Maritime Heavy Armour with a costume repair table. I was as Commander Shepard wearing my favorite Fatigues outfit with a red wig on. Thankfully I had just came back from the Costume Contest as I didn't mind being photo-bombed along the way.

"Commander?" said a familiar voice, I looked behind me to see Liara... not a cosplayer but the Real Liara. And to my luck I just wasn't expecting to see them as they Ashley, Liara, James and Kaidan were in their casual outfits. I knew just by looking at Liara she was still grieving Shepard's death. I went up to her and said "I am a Commander, but not the Commander you're hoping for."

"I know Commander Hansen it's just that I really miss ..."

I gave her a hug, "I know and I understand what you're going through. Hey Art, can you keep an eye on the table for me?"

"Yeah sure Commander, but I can't sew up a miracle like you can."

"Let me know when you need me," as I showed him the Facebook App on my smart phone. He nodded as I then asked a staff member, "Um excuse me I have to talk with some friends of mine privately is there a panel room not in use at the minute?"

"Yeah Commander it's the room where your gang did the Armor panel." said a Staff member.

"That will work." I said as I then grabbed my backpack as they followed me in.

"It's a little spooky to see you dressed up as Shepard, well the Female version." said Liara.

"It's another hobby of mine which comes in handy sometimes depending of the mission."

"We were having a little trouble accessing the Satellite footage of Earth while the attack was progressing," said Alenko.

"I've been able to access Google maps using your Internet but it wasn't up to date." said EDI.

"Doesn't surprise me, but I do know someone who can help with that. The only thing is he's only coming for the charity ball tonight, I'm a guest too I have three extra tickets and I don't have a date."

"Oh Commander how about us?" Asked Williams pointing at herself and Alenko.

I looked at them, "Choose your date wisely Williams."

"I don't have a problem with that Commander," she said as she took Vega's hand, "Hey how about Kaidan as your date?"

"Sounds good," I said trying not to blush, "luckily there's a mall here with just about everything. Do you need any cash?"

"We have it covered, we figured out a way to get some money using some software we found." said Liara.

"So let me guess software that criminals use for stealing credit or debit cards?" I guessed.

"Ah yes but they're linked to our accounts." confirmed Liara.

"I bought a two day ticket." said Kaidan as everyone looked at him, "I go to conventions like this too."

"Ok once we gathered our attire, get permission from Commander Hadfield, then compare notes."

"Kaidan how about you stay with Commander Hansen we'll pick you up later?" Suggested Liara, "I can look up programs and tech for you to two to use."

"I'll bring a overnight bag, I'm pretty sure I won't need any other gear."

"You don't need guns, besides I have no idea how a prop is going to react if you hold it." I said, " I have a feeling it might become real once you grab one."

"Besides Kaidan you're the only one amongst us who knows retro human tech." Said Ashley, "Mel I have a request, there's a dress I'd like but all I found was a pattern." asked Ashley.

"Ok once you guys are ready meet us at my place for about 21:00 hours. Dismissed. And if you want, enjoy the con some."
