The Ultimate Probing Experience
John was completely still, listening for any sort of movement around him.
After a few minutes of almost painfully lying still, he was satisfied, and sat up. He immediately noticed that he was in an N7 armor for whatever reason.
He looked around, and noticed he was in a cave of some kind. A single industrial light was in a corner, lighting the place. There was a large metal door built into one of the cave walls.
He assumed it was an airtight door and by extension also served as an airlock, so he decided not to open it anytime soon.
He looked around a bit more, and saw a large metal object in a dim corner. He started walking towards it.
"Warning, radiation levels reaching dangerous levels," the armor's VI suddenly said.
He jumped because of the sudden noise, and grumbled something about setting up warning posters on the armor about loud robots.
He approached the object, and noted that it looked like a probe. It had scorch marks all over it, and a few dents. John suddenly got suspicious, because the chances of a probe falling into a cave without blowing up the roof aren't exactly high.
He crouched, and started removing one of its panels.
Suddenly, a hologram appeared from the probe.
John backed away from it, and saw that it formed a humanoid shape. It was hard to make out exactly who or what it was though.
Then it spoke.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Shep... Wait, you aren't Shepard! Shit, abort, ABORT!"
Jane Shepard just finished marking a large deposit of Samarium with Kaidan on the planet Agebinium. It was a rocky, irradiated planet without atmosphere. It's surface was red, but only because of the red giant star shining it's light on it.
Suddenly, a bright flash of light appeared on the planet itself in the distance.
She shielded her eyes quickly.
After a few seconds, the light got dimmer, and Kaidan nudged her.
She looked towards it, and saw a mountain getting blown apart. Pieces of it were flying everywhere.
"Shepard... Is that the Probe?"
Shepard looked at Kaidan.
"Hackett is going to have my ass for this."
I told you I'd have another one up soon. I hope these chapters don't get too short.
I'll see you in the next chapter soon!
