A mixed story/documentation piece describing much of the technology of the ME universe, including that which is only found in the Premiseverse.

Shepard acts as bait for Morinth as Garrus struggles with jealousy while acting as undercover backup. Shakarian Fic alternative. Garrus goes along with Samara's loyalty mission.

Everyone is the hero of their story and realizing yourself the villain can be a hard pill to swallow.

An amateur writer, writing for the sake of it, grown and matured, frustrates long-time readers by rewriting an old story rather than continue it, for now at least. This story is unique of the original, drawing only inspiration in plot. Enjoy

In a world ruled by technology, an idiot with magic wants to change things before they died. The question is... Where to start? Psdt: Yeah, is a selfinsert. Helps me escape from reality
