If they’re so stupid and pathetic that they fear the humans who have now saved them twice because of one person attacking them (whom the humans saved them from, by the way), then there is no point in trying to build trust with this group. It would all be erased instantly by practically anything they dislike and their apparent extreme propensity for group guilt.

The Butlerian Jihad ironically was not against a machine rebellion. There was no machine rebellion until much later and that was due to the war if I remember correctly. In truth, the AI remained totally obedient…to the group of people who hacked control of their network and used them to enslave humanity. It was an ironic twist on the AI rebellion trope: they didn’t rebel, it was just good ‘ol human lust for power and followed by the good ‘ol human human practice of “blame everyone else”.

The humans , the Bene Gesserit in particular, subtly piss me off even in the Dune series because they remind me of holier than thou elves and the warhammer 40k Eldar.
But the fanfic is superb.

I find it interesting that you are able demonstrate such familiarity with ME, that you have clearly played(and likely finished all) the games, yet are capable of such writing mechanics/gymnastics, that i could almost believe that this story was written by old Frank Herbert himself. I also find it interesting that you felt you had to differentiate which Herbert you where patterning your story after, as it is fairly obvious(Brian writes an entertaining story, and I do love how he handles the descriptive aspect of Spice, however, his writing style is far more...basic; simple even).
Will you be pursuing this impressive story? Could i interest you in a Dune/Harry Potter x-over? I’ve always wanted to see how the wizard if world could be effected by Spice and Sappho juice(two things i certainly wish i had a supply of).

Nice story so far. I'll take that Nazi unicorn now and point out that there, they're and their are three completely different words.
Please use them properly.

I have to say, the sense of desperation and hopelessness that the ME characters are feeling, make this story very compelling. I love the entire tone of it, its like they're stuck between creatures that don't care whether or not they exist. Its really good.
I did spot an error though, in this Chapter neither Al nor Jimmy mention Cerberii, yet somehow Tali approached the topic first as if she had prior knowledge. I bet you just forgot to add them to the list.

Interesting concept, the Synth-Skin; much more plausible than Miles Teg's super-speed. I like the idea of the Sanctuary; it reminds me of Siona's vision in God-Emperor of Dune, when she sees the seeking machines hunting down the Humans who burrowed deep beneath the ground, but were still found. No where to hide from prescient machines.
A good first chapter, and I'm interested in reading more. Dune is my all-time favorite sci-fi series of books, and I've been waiting for someone to make a crossover with it and Mass Effect.
Thank you!
