1Mass Effect: Andromeda
This will be my first official one-shot ever so I hope you guys enjoy. The idea is that after Synthesis, the ending I chose for Mass Effect 3, civilization advance to the point people could travel to other galaxies. Based on how the trailer for the new game looked, I wanted to put how the beginning might take place.
Fifty years have passed since the dawn of unity within the Milky Way Galaxy solidified. Harmony between organic and synthetic life blossomed thanks to the actions of the Shepard. His legacy of peace soon became the ideal of everyone, even the reapers, whom attempted to harvest all life.
After the war ended, an era of peace established and with it, the pursuit of knowledge.
Technology advanced to a point where no more controversial problems plagued sentient life. The will of synthetics improved and soon developed into beings of perfect harmony.
More than just synthetic and more than organic.
With their path laid out, there was now a new step to take, finding the answers to what reality held.
To do that, they had to travel beyond their own galaxy and see the wonders of the universe.
The Voyager Corps soon rose up.
Normandy VX IV
2236 C.E
"State your name," the Commander inquired, standing in front of a new group of soldiers. Each one was of a different species. Asari, Salairan, Turian, Krogan, Drell, Hanar, Yahg, Batarian, Quarian, and Human.
Each one sounded off their names, giving a respectful salute as well. Most were part of the N7 program, which soon became the new galactic specters after the war ended.
"Welcome to the Normandy VX-IV, I am Commander Drake Lars, commander-in-chef and leader. You were all chosen because you each represent your species best and brightest. I won't lie people, we don't know what's out there, hell for all we know, we may never see the Milky Way again. Though one thing is for sure, in front of me, I don't see grunts or nameless faces. I see a team and as such, we look out for one another. Is that clear?!"
"Sir, Yes sir!"
With one last salute, many went to their stations. Each one triggered their omni-tool, calling up holographic projections.
Each one synced up with a screen in front of them, causing seats to digitize and allow them each to get ready.
Drake looked around, hearing a systems check on each one, confirming that the ship was running smoothly. He walked over to where the Galaxy map was, entering a new room. The lights underneath lit up as projections of his comrades came into the room with him.
Once he got at the rail in front of him, the entire room now became one giant galaxy map. Only this time, there was one icon that stood out from all the rest, a green Mass Relay.
"Ensign, let's get this voyage started," Drake declared.
With one touch of the map, the ship itself now started moving forward, allowing the Commander to view the path his ship was going.
By that point, all his thoughts turned to the vids he used to watch when he was a kid. All the exploits and tale of the great-Commander Shepard. Savior of the Citadel, Conqueror of the Collectors, and Hero of the Galaxy.
All Drake ever wanted was to become like Shepard.
Now, that time would soon come his way.
Well, hoped some of you liked it, it was just my interpretation of how it would start out, I don't know if it will be true or not. In any case, hope you all enjoyed it, please leave a comment, and I'll see ya around.
