Mass Effect Inspired Writings Part 2

After the last bunch got a not too shabby amount of reads, I figured I'd keep it going. It's actually something productive for me to do when I'm feeling particularly manic...

So, here you go another little batch... Please remember I do not own any of the intellectual property owned by Bioware or the Mass Effect writers, I'm merely someone inspired by them.





2186 CE. Day 25. Tyr mining facility 43- Asgard system- Exodus Cluster.

N7 Elite -- Delta Squad - Turian Sentinel


We ran out of ammo today. We're literally out of thermal clips, as in none can be found, and to resupply would take time we just don't have. To compensate Viki has put herself on door duty and Flaggorn is doing the tried and tested strategy of biotically charging and then falling back. I wish I could do more to help, but chain overloads and weak warps are only really good against the Brutes, who since yesterday, have decreased in number but at least I can detonate my tech-amour. 

The good thing however, is that it feels like the Reaper offensive is dying down.  Normally we see about fifteen Brutes in an throughout the day, yet today we only have two.  Furthermore the amount of Husks have dropped from two hundred to only about seventy. This could mean that they Reapers are redirecting their attack, or it could mean that they're finding a weaker location to attack us, or, worse still, they're saving their numbers to overwhelm us as we're dry on ammo. 

All worries about eaten alive by Reapers aside, I'm worried about Viki. She seemed exhausted from yesterday and she's been on door duty for a good few hours.

To top it all off, I've been throwing up. I think it was a ration I ate that wasn't suited to a dextro digestive system. I'm normally careful with the N7 rations. They normally throw anything into the bag and don't really pay much attention to whether something is suitable or not and to be honest, I was quite surprised that I've been as sick as I have been. 

Makes me laugh. Maybe the Reapers have found a way to infect food supplies? I'll soon know if I start covering Viki in armoured plating. 

Going to cut this one short. I'm going to help out at the door. Sounds like something big is hitting.

2186 CE. Day 27. Tyr mining facility 43- Asgard system- Exodus Cluster.

N7 Elite -- Delta Squad - Turian Sentinel


Finally got this Omni-tool working. Remember I said something about something big hitting. Turns out the Reaper got a bit fed up of waiting around to take us down via ground forces and just started opening fire. Pretty much straight after I shut down this programme it called down the power of the Spirits on us. Missed me by about a meter. 

There's not much of the facility left. The main hydrogen cell warehouse went up in a giant explosion, taking at least three thirds of the facility with it. It was so powerful it sent Flaggorn flying through the air, as well as a bunch of our equipment. We've been repairing what we can and requesting an evac. 

Turns out the alliance has more important things to worry about. Something about these giant squid like aliens showed up and started turning Reapers on each other. Tell you what, I'd love to see that.

We started celebrating this morning, after waiting at the door and nothing happening. Me and Viki... Got to know each other rather well. Flaggorn started reading these journals and started making fun of them. Didn't mention anything to Viki though considering my last few logs have 'involved her'. Quite odd- a Korgan knowing when to be socially correct. We drank our entire supply of Purple shotgun within a couple of minutes and it felt good knowing that, although we lost the facility in the end, we lived to tell the tale. 

Although I do think Flaggorn's comment about "Shepard having nothing on us" was a little over estimated. 

Nothing can take this grin off my face.

2186 CE. Lower wards, Citadel, Widow system, Serpent Nebula 

N7 Elite -- Delta Squad - Turian Sentinel

We got our evac after a few days of waiting around. By a Turian ship no less. We had some stories to tell the crew. I think it actually raised moral. 

This particular ship was called the "Asteroid Hunter" quite a cool ship actually. The forward cannons were something to marvel at, as well as the team slaving over them day in day out.

From what I could gather from the crew the ship was involved in a secondary push on Palaven. Their main job was to keep Reapers breezing through our defensive lines there. It mainly did this by blasting any ships with it's big cannon via hit and run attacks, making sure they were always out of range. This was a sound strategy, just not against reapers. Problem is, even the big bastard gun at the front of the ship still wasn't efficient at the ranges they needed to be to be out of range. As one of the generals demonstrated in one of the many famous engagements in battle for Palaven, the actual best strategy is to get as close as you can and out flank, due to the fact our ships have slightly faster turning speeds. Problem being of course, getting that close in the first place. This ship paid for it the hard way, when the captain chose to stupidly change the tactic mid engagements it put the ship in a vulnerable position  allowing a Reaper to get a perfect shot right across the side. The ship barely made it out of there. Apparently they were flying around with a de-pressurised lower deck. They then FTLed out and got repairs, which is where they got our evac request.


The journey wasn't too bad, didn't take that long. The beds were comfy, especially since I happened to be sharing mine with someone... 

Me and Viki have actually really been hitting it off lately. She actually introduced me to her Daughter Sarah, was actually quite funny listening to her trying to pronounce my name. It's a odd name, even for Turians. According to my father it's a name from before we even had space travel. It just means there's a lot of silent letters and clicking of the tongue involved. 

Viki's son apparently want's to join C-Sec, I told him about a few famous names I could get him in touch with if he needed some help getting in (I think it got me some major kudos with Viki...) 

It's quite odd being on the Citadel again. The last time I was on here for any stretch of time was back before the attack. It was during that brake after the mission with the indoctrinated Elcor, but that's a story for another time... 

I moved into Viki's apartment until we're drafted on another mission, which I doubt is going to too soon, considering how long we were on the last one. I'm normally the type of Turian who likes to go on missions frequently, but right now I'd like to to relax with Viki a bit. 


Flaggorn went onto another ship as soon as we made dock, didn't tell me where he was going, only that we'd be in touch. I'm going to miss that lump of biotic muscle but knowing him, he won't stay for long.

This will be the last log for a while. I'm just going to enjoy things here for a bit.
