Mass Effect: Downfall

Out of curiousity, what characters from Mass Effect are still alive in this?

@Catchphrase

Wrex and Ash are the only original squad mates alive.

The insectoid blinked its large, focused eyes in a sense of indifference at William. Clearly bowing wasn’t something that these creatures acknowledged, but it knew the words that he spoke. Meanwhile the other Keepers continued their tasks, not noticing the newcomers. Some carried what appeared to tools and building materials of some kind.

“I must be brief. The Reaper you have no doubt seen out there is known as Chimera. He… it is a rogue element within the Reaper ranks. When our cycle came, we were to be harvested like the rest of our race, only their artificial constructs of ourselves were to remain… to maintain our creations, he allowed us to live.” Sah’shi said as it looked at the hologram that displayed a blueprint of a Mass Relay. “Now our creations are used to speed up their work.”

Sah’shi then began to walk towards the main terminal.
“If only there was more time… Chimera has a…”

But before Sah’shi could finish, the terminals and their energy turned to a solid red. A booming voice echoed throughout the entire greater vault.

“Sah’shi… why do you betray me?! Have I not kept my promise and kept you safe? All I ask for return is your obeisance…”

As the doors were opened, the true vastness of it was revealed. Hundreds of storage sections were sealed off, protected by barriers that prevented access. – The corpses of the Collectors proved that much. As the different teams entered the vault, green streaks of light phased throughout the sections of the vault, scanning the newcomers. A strange alien language was heard through some type of intercom, most likely a VI announcing the scan results; and seeing as everyone was still alive, it must have been good.

Straight ahead was a much laid a much larger door that lead into the greater vault, and the only one that hadn’t had a barrier protecting it. As the teams neared it, the hissing of depressurisation signalled that the doors were about to open.
As they did, no one could have imagined what was behind them.

Pillars of light were shooting up from computer terminals as large as fighters. Thousands of holographic displays were scattered among them, all with various blueprints. The most notable… the Citadel…

As their eyes got use to the lighting conditions, the teams could finally see an odd, but familiar looking race around them… the Keepers.
As they entered, the teams were greeted by one.

“Quickly, time is not on our side. I am Sah’shi, Master Keeper.”

Alex would teleport next to William, placing his Katana up to his neck line.

“How about you fall inline… ‘soldier’.” Green’s voice was dark and husky. “We’re going into the vault, anything you can take is yours, but this is a profit share business.”

With that he sheathed his blade and turned towards the vault entrance and pointed towards it.
“We’re going in.” He said as he looked down at his Omni-tool. “Shadow-Blade, give those in the city some fire support.”

In the city where multiple fire-fights were taking place, the smooth ripping of engines broke through the sound barrier. A ship flew through the city, dropping biotic bombs that created rifts that drew in Reaper forces. The Shadow-Blade kept as low as possible to avoid the fire of the Reaper.

Well in that case, everyone is free to post :)

That's not true btw, I just haven't been posting too often because I've had super overtime at work. I was hoping to have bounced off of @Catchphrase for a wee bit, but as it is I'll assume The Every Dawn is doing rescue efforts

@The Fated Fallen

Ah ok :) didn't want to leave you in the wind.

The landscape was barren. No life of any kind could been seen for miles. The Reaper stood, still shouting its horn across the plains. A kinetic barrier rendered the fire from Ad Victoriam utterly useless. However, Chimera wasn’t without a sense of malevolent humour. Knowing that the fire would do little irreversible damage. It lowered its barriers to take some of the fire, looking as if it had started to lose balance. But after a moment the barriers raised themselves again and fired directly in the direction of Ad Victoriam. The beam glanced the hull enough to sake the crew, but not do any serious damage.

Meanwhile, Reaper Drones continued to build pipelines throughout the wastelands from the cities and colonies. The small leaks would reveal organic slush was being pumped from these cities and into a storage facility a few miles away from the Reaper. This storage facility was protected by a biotic barrier that was being generated by a power generator in the centre of the facility… However, one weakness was the pipeline network itself. Should someone be brave enough to go into the pipes themselves, they would be able to infiltrate the facility.
