Shortly after the Battle for Earth, the Milky Way forces are victorious. But what happened to Commander Jean Shepard? *Disclaimer: EA and Bioware own the Mass Effect franchise and their respective characters.*

Being an engineer is hard work. Harder, if anyone actually figures out what you have going on in your head. Worse if one's Past and Present are capitalised and live on in a vipers nest of idealism, consequences and legacy. But even that's small change when it comes to navigating a galaxy in denial and living on borrowed time; when all you really want to do is get things done.

Thane proceeded in quest of his mate's murderers, his kindred steering him toward the first—his charge to track down each of them, solo. In the absence of goodbye, he is prohibited from coming home to his son—what's more, Rakhana—unless he can fulfill his undertaking, together with his nuisance relation, Casnar Soterios, intent on retribution.

The galaxy is a vast, wonderous place, filled with life and connected by science and something just a shade beyond. But what is old watches and waits in the darkness, biding its time as the garden before it blooms. The year of that final flowering is 2183. And for one Commander Nathaniel Shepard, it's about to become a busy year indeed.

The System Alliance is introduced to the galaxy with good old-fashioned violence, good for us that we humans are so proficient with it. HFY

The Turians assume they can subjugate this new race before the galaxy takes note. But assumptions are dangerous. Something the sailors and marines of the Alliance are all to glad to demonstrate. Rated M for violence.
