Chapter One: A Shelter in a Universe of Atomic Fallout
Currently on another world...
This Galaxy was large, and even as the Reapers smashed and burnt their way through the worlds and their timelines; they could only move so fast. This gave time for the movement of a small group.
"We have too move!" shouted a female voice.
"We have to gather all the relics that remain!" sharply replied a high toned voice, it sounded to be a small male child.
"We already have three of them; if we dont return the Reapers will surly find us." answered a new; and third voice.
"Then we hide! There, I've found a vault we can retreat too; come on." quickly replied the small child.
currently on Shepard's ship...
The Normandy's fuel was at its tipping point, the tanks have began to make foul noises; and the ship was still far from its landing point. This did not go unnoticed by either the passengers or the crew; with the cause to worry Edi's voice came over the ships intercom.
"This is Edi; any and all passengers and crew members prepare for the ship to hit emergency warp drive. Ship damage calculated to be 15.6%, areas of incoming damage unknown." stated Edi as you felt a hard push. The push would be able to knock over almost everyone; while at the least items flew from their positions. While the jump would scare some, it seemed Edi was correct about the ships damage.
The Combat Information Center seemed to catch fire; burning Ruby and Yang alive. Engineering was the second to go; as its engines began to explode. The explosions caused rapid fires to spread. The final room was the captains room, which was completely in flames.
"Warp Drive successful; incoming landing." stated Edi as you all felt the very light tap of the Normandy's wheels hitting ground. However the light tap soon turned into thrashing as the wheels encountered more and much larger rocks. The thrashing only worsened; until finally the ship come to a quick and blunt stop. Causing many to fling from their positions.
"We've managed to stop. detecting previous signal only a mere 25 feet away." calmly spoke Edi over the intercom; shortly after stopping her sentence, Shepard's voice replaced Edi's.
"Okay; listen everyone. My crew members are looking for people who cant move or call out, if your well enough to move; follow the glowing trial of lights to the exit. We're going to go see if this place is truly a safe haven." as you began to walk out; or carried out, you would notice as you exited the Normandy that you all now stood in a narrow and dark cave. However, something else caught your attention;
Tali seemed to be lifeless in Garrus's arms. It looked like her suit had been ripped open, and a snarly burn was placed on her chest. Hopefully the Sticher could discover more details. After seeing the lifeless Tali, you noticed a large gear shaped door at the end of the cave.
Looking to it, you would notice in the center read 11111(I couldn't get a picture what that number). Shepard signaled everyone to stay back, quickly pulling her gun from her side she approached the door slowly, and as she was within a few foot of it; the door made a horrific noise as it began to open.
and as it did, what was inside seemed to be a
ton of people. But the man that stood in front of them all was a tall blond, the male seemed to be in his late teens; and was staring directly at Shepard.
"Welcome." was all he simply stated. Shepard immediately pointed her gun at the mans chest,
"What is this place?" asked Shepard, but her tone signaled that she demanded an answer; and a good one at that.
"Its a shelter for all those that seek refuge from the Reapers. Vault Tech has built walls capable of withstanding an attack from the Reapers."
"That's bullshit!" shouted Shepard.
"Nothing can stop them, especially not some dam walls!" continued Shepard; her gun still pointed at the mans chest.
"I promi-" started the man before Shepard cut him off.
"Listen here kid, nothing will stop them; and I wont let you lead people into your lie. I'm going to find proof; and when I do, I'm going to make sure these people find their way to safety." Sharply shot Shepard as she pushed passed the kid; which was sign for everyone to follow. As you entered the vault you noticed it was packed beyond its capabilities; the halls were packed with so many people you could Barely walk beside one person. As you all came to a large circle room, you noticed signs above each of the hallways. However before any of you could decide where to head off too, a man approached Garruss
"Hey..if you need too; you can take her to my lab. I can do something called a Stitch; and you can see how this happened to her." offered Cameron; Garrus nodded and followed Cameron down the hallway with the sign reading
Stitch lab.
It seemed you had these places to visit/interact with, The Infirmary, Overseer Office, Dorms, Medical Lab, Science Labs, Hallways, or you could stay and talk to someone amongest the Room. The Creature, Shepard, Legion, Edi, Arcade, Steve, Kaidan, and a few others.
