Mass Effect: The Forgotten Age
76 years after the Great War had ended. A spartan rebellion had occured with the Spartan 5s due to hostile take over that ONI tried to pull on the UNSC, but with the planets Reach and Arcadia joining the Spartans, along with some Elites, Grunts, Hunters, Engineers, and an unfrozen Spartan 3, the Spartans had an army and ships till the discovery of an unknown installation.
Storyline:
ME1
USSC forces flee from Reach and other human and Sangeheli planets and meet in a random sector of space near an ancient forerunner station. Elementhian forces attack but retreat when the ancient station activates and fires on the Elementhian forces. The surviving USSC forces land on the station and meet a monitor whom upgrades the armour of the Spartans and gives them the schematics for a nano bot injection, it also gives them all a injection of the nano bots to help with injuries and age. The other upgrades are done to the USSC ships, and weapons. The Spartans are given a newly constructed Frigate similar to the USSC frigates but created completely by Forerunner materials, the Spartan S118 names the ship the USSC Lost Legacy. After all ships received upgrades, the Elementhians strike again but with their entire fleet, the Forerunner station fends the Elementhian fleet off and detaches what looks like key ships that open a large portal for the USSC ships to enter, the carrier, USSC Rise of Dawn enters first followed by the Infinity class ship, USSC Final Dawn and a Sangehli Carrier, the USSC Lost Legacy enters the portal just as the USSC prowler, piloted by S118 and S119 are about to enter the hanger.
In the Mass Effect Universe a single USSC prowler drops out of a portal above Eden Prime and plummets towards the planet's surface, the SSV Normandy detects the prowler and watches as the ship falls towards the planets surface, the two Spartans on board of the prowler escape by jumping out of the ship once it entered the planet's atmosphere. Spartan 118 is the first to recover from hitting the ground while Spartan 119 recovers shortly after. The two hear gun fire and take out two geth before getting confronted by Commander Jane Shepard and Commander John Shepard, and Kaiden Alenko and Ashley Williams.
The two explain they were in occupants of the crashed ship and agreed to explain more later after they helped the group complete their mission. The group come across Nihlus's dead body and learn from a dock worker about what happened.
The group fights through the spaceport to the beacon and Spartan 119 disarms all the bombs quickly before the group proceed to the beacon. Ashley gets to close to the beacon and John moves Ashley out of the way and gets a vision burned into his head, Jane grabs John and pulls him away before getting grabbed by the beacon as well only to be grabbed by Spartan 118 and thrown out of the way of the beacon and S118 gets grabbed by the beacon and has the same vision burned into his mind. After the beacon explodes Spartan 118 looks at the group a bit confused before he collapses on the ground next to John Shepard, confusing the other humans and S119.
On board of the Normandy, the crew learn that the two Spartans had massive injuries from their jump out of their doomed ship which they viewed from the recorded video in Spartan 119's helmet camera. The doctor was surprised that S119 was still able to move around and not collapse from the injuries. She is more shocked after learning that there wounds are healed almost instantly, from nano bots. Once the Spartans recovered they where asked to explain who they were and how they got there.
After explaining what happened Anderson asks Spartan 118 what the beacon showed him, he explains that it was a vision of machines killing organics, but what race he couldn't tell since the images came really quick in his mind he couldn't decipher it. John Shepard says he saw something exactly similar to what S118 saw in the vision.
The Spartans agree to come along with the Normandy crew to the Citadel and see the Council. Once at the citadel the human Ambassador is surprised at seeing heavy armoured beings that could go toe to toe with Krogans and probably win.
The group meet the Council to talk about Saren's involvement with Eden Prime. The Council believe Saren more than the Normandy crew but are suddenly confused when they finally notice the two Spartans, they ask the two Spartans who they are and what race they are, they explain they are humans but not from the Alliance and say easiest term they could be called by is Reclaimers, that way they wouldn't be confused with the humans of the Alliance.
The Turian councillor keeps saying that the humans are trying to secretly gain more power by creating super soldiers but the Salarian and Asari councillor s agree that the Reclaimers aren't part of the Alliance due their armour and their weapons being far more advanced than anything the Alliance can develop. However the council explains that as for Saren there is not enough evidence to prove he is a traitor.
The Normandy crew then search for leads on the Citadel and learn of a Quarian in danger due to her having information about Saren. When they get to where the Quarian is the group is surprised to see another Spartan suddenly come out of the shadows and slaughter all the assassins with a green energy sword. The Spartan introduces himself to the group as Spartan 265, he then rejoins the other two Spartans happily, glad that he isn't the only one stuck in a strange place.
After reviewing the evidence and hearing about something called the Reapers they deliver the evidence to the council both John and Jane Shepard are made Spectres and tasked with tracking down Saren and eliminating him. The three Spartans come along with the group and board the Normandy which had Anderson has given command over to John Shepard.
The group is given a few leads by Udina and Anderson, and after a nice speech from John Shepard the Normandy leaves the Citadel and proceeds to the Artimis Tau Cluster where they fight a large amount of geth to get to Liara T'Soni. As they rescue Liara, Jane Shepard asks Liara about her excavation here on Therum. Liara explains that the ruins are Prothean but then says that further in the ruins she came across a door that wasn't of Prothean origin and couldn't get it open.
Liara leads the group to the door and S118 is shocked at its discovery, he places his hand on the Forerunner glyph lock causing the symbol for Reclaimer to appear and unlock the door. Liara is surprised at how S118 was able to open the door just from his hand. Upon exploring the corridors the group learn they are in the remains of the USSC Rise of Dawn. The group continues to explore the ship and learn that the survivors escaped in the few frigates that were docked inside the ship and had set Slipspace co-ordinates for random co-ordinates. They learnt from the audio files on the bridge that the ship was attack by hundreds of unknown contacts and that they choose to sacrifice the ship as a distraction to rescue as many people. The ship had fired 6 Havok nukes at the enemy fleet blinding their sensors allowing the ship to crash land undetected on the surface of the planet. After leaving the ship and taking the Prothean elevator to the top floor of the ruins, the group fight a group of geth lead by a Krogan. The group is surprised when they see S118 take the Krogan down in close combat.
After the fight the group flee from the ruins as a bomb goes off causing the cavern to start to collapse. Once back aboard the Normandy Liara explains about her studies of Prothean ruins and her theory about their disappearance. John explains to Liara they were wiped out by a synthetic race called the Reapers. She asks how he knows this, S118 explains that both he and John Shepard had the same vision burned into our minds from a damaged Prothean beacon on Eden Prime. Liara seems fascinated at learning this and asks S118 about how he was able to open the ancient ship's door. S118 explains that he and the other two Spartans are human but with a few different genetic traits, and are known as Reclaimers from where they came from. Liara is surprised at hearing they are members of an advanced civilization, and nearly falls only to get caught by S118. She explains she is just tired and Jane Shepard orders her to go visit Doctor Chakwas for a quick check to make sure she is ok. After the crew is dismissed Jane and John stand in front of the comm terminal and contact the Council. The three Spartans laugh when they watch Jane cut the comm feed with the Council while they were having the shits at both Shepards about the ruins destruction.
S118 goes down to the crew deck and accidentally bumps into Liara as she was coming up the elevator from the cargo hold. Liara and S118 talk to each other for a while and S118 makes Liara a bit embarrassed. Liara thanks S118 for the chat and S118 leaves her to continue doing some of her work in the room next to the med bay. Meanwhile on the bridge John is given a message from Admiral Haccket about a rogue VI on the moon, and also receives a message from someone on the Citadel called Nassana Dantiass.
The Normandy returns to the Citadel John Shepard gives the most of the crew a little shore leave while he deals with some issues on the Citadel. The Spartans explore a club with Ashley and Kaidan and come across a terminal that seems to be transferring credits. The five of them track the transfer to an AI that threatens to explode and kill everything in the blast radius. Suddenly the AI goes insane before getting destroyed by something inside it. Suddenly the group hear a female voice behind them and turn to see another Spartan whom the 3 Spartans recognise as Lysithea. The Spartans explain to Ashley and Kaidan that Lysithea is a true cyborg an AI given a robotic organic body, both Kaidan and Ashley are a bit taken back that the newcomer is an AI, but calm down when the other Spartans explain that USSC AI where designed off a human brain and that they tend to behave as humans especially once they have achieved Meta Stability which Lysithea had achieved.
Upon returning to the Normandy a slight conflict between Tali and Lysithea occurs but Tali calms down when she learns that Lysithea is now more Human than machine when she was created.
The Normandy goes to the moon first and Jane leads Ripa, Tia, Garrus and Wrex against the rogue VI and end up disabling the VI. After that the Normandy then heads to an unknown planet where they where told Nassana's sister was being held by pirates. The crew split up into two squads, John leads Solar, Liara and Wrex, while Jane leads Ripa, Ashley and Garrus. Before the group arrive at the base Joker transmits to the group the last communication that came out of the base which explains that something was inside killing them all with a strange energy blade.
Once the group enters the base they find the pirates all dead including Nassana's sister dead on the floor wearing the same armour as the other pirates. Wrex is enjoying the view of the dead pirates noticing that none of them had any bullet wounds. As the two groups secure the lower level they are attack by a White and Red coloured Spartan whom knocks Wrex over and is about to deliver a killing blow with his sword only to stop when he notices the other two Spartans with the group. The spartan reveals himself as S021 known as Blade. Both Shepards question Blade about why he killed all the people in the building, Blade explains that he just appeared inside the building and startled some of the pirates next thing he knew he was under attack from them.
The group bring Blade aboard the Normandy where he also notices that Lysithea and Tia were on board as well. He then asks if anyone else appeared. The Spartans tell Blade about the fate of the Rise of Dawn and that the survivors had followed Cole-Protocol and that they have no idea where they settled.

John Shepard, Garrus, Ashley, Kaidan and Tia Azuregos - S119, Shadow - S251
(Normandy)
S118 goes to talk with Liara who explains she was fascinated about S118s past accomplishments, how he and his sister discovered the plot against their people and also how he had to fight a clone of himself whom was made into a Spartan 6. S118 explains to Liara she could have just asked him for the information instead of Lysithea just giving her the information. Liara apologises and explains that she is has feelings for S118 and asks if he does have feelings for her as well. S118 acknowledges that he has feelings for Liara as well. Liara is glad but also confused at how come they both have feelings for each other since they are both different species.
(Noveria)
Jane Shepard, Liara T'Soni, Solar Azuregos - S118, Kaosu Blade - S021 and Wrex, Rita - S150
The group arrive on Noveria and deal with a slight conflict in the spaceport before meeting the administrator who doesn't want to help. The assistant tells the group how to get her help and they contact the Turian that is the bar. The group proceed to the offices and are confronted by hired officers. Jane says that she can kill criminals, they say she is bluffing, then Wrex says that there right, and then says that Jane is actually going to let him eat them, which the two Spartans couldn't help but laugh after the Merck made a run for it. Once the group got the evidence they are confronted by one of the corrupt officers and she says shit to them when suddenly she is silenced by a red blade sticking out of her stomach. The mercs next to her and the group look behind her and watch as a Red Spartan decloaks, before pulling the red energy sword out of the corrupt officer. The battle ends quickly and the Red Spartans introduces herself to Jane, Liara and Wrex, as Rita Solex, S150.
The group talk to the assistant and give the evidence to the Turian and convince him to testify against the Administrator. The group then proceed to the garage where they are ambushed by geth. After a talk with security they then proceed in a Mako towards Peak 15.
The group fight more geth and Krogan before meeting an unknown bug species. The group battle the bugs as they restore power to Peak 15 to access the trams to get to Rift Station.
Once at Rift Station the group find survivors holed up fighting the bugs. The group go and talk to the doctor and help him develop a cure against the venom the bugs are spitting but then have to kill an asari and a few geth. The group then hand the antidote to the doctor and then take a secret passage to the hot labs where they confront Matriarch Benzia. Liara and Benzia say a few words and then Benzia insults the squad saying have any of them faced an asari commando before, few humans have. The three Spartans then counted what she said by saying have any of you faced a squad of Spartans before, cause if they did they wouldn't be alive to say they faced them. Benzia is angered by what the Spartans said and the battle begins. After a couple of minutes the Battle ends and Benzia regains control of her mind and gives the group the co-ordinates to the Mu Relay. She then talks to Liara and asks the group to end her since she is struggling to stay in control. Liara ends up pulling the trigger killing her mother.
The group then talk to the Rachni Queen, Wrex says they should kill her, but Liara says they should give her species another chance. The three Spartans agree with Liara explaining that they follow the code of the Mantle and won't allow a Species be driven to extinction for something that happened in another age.
The group then goes and deals with the insane Rachni drones and then return to the Normandy.
(Normandy)
S118 checks up on Liara to make sure she is ok after the events with her mother. Liara explains she misses her mother and explains she likes to remember who she was before she joined Saren. Liara then explains about Asari physiology and how they reproduce. She then explains that she hasn't ever taken a mate before and that she is still new to all this. S118 tells her to take her time.
(Virmire)
The Normandy travels to Virmire to check on the Salarian infiltration team to see what they have found. In orbit Joker notices the large AA guns Jane Shepard says to drop everyone in the Mako but the Spartans say they have a better idea. They jump from the Normandy's ramp in orbit and plung straight towards the AA guns at high speed. Jane, John, Liara, Wrex, Tali, Ashley and Kaidan watch the live footage from the Spartans helmet cams and watch as they hit the ground hard even after activating their thruster packs to slow them down. Wrex is laughing in the Mako when he sees a Geth Juggernaut walk over to one of the downed Spartans only to suddenly get its head ripped off by the Spartan.
The Mako pulls up to the first AA gun and let's S118 and S119 inside before continuing to the second where they find many dismembered geth and the AA gun disabled. they then let S021 and Ripa inside and proceed towards where the Salarians are.
The Salarians explain that they found Saren's base of operation and that they have word Saren is here but haven't seen him. They explain that he is breeding an army of Krogan. Wrex is pissed when he learns about the Genophage cure and that the Salarians want to destroy it. Both John Shepard and S118 talk to Wrex and calm him down. The Salarians then explain they have used spare parts from their ship to create a nuclear bomb which has to be placed in the centre of the facility.
The Salarians explain they will create a distraction to help a Shadow team sneak into the facility and disable the defences. Most of the Spartans join the Distraction team while S118 and S021 join Shadow team and destroy key defence points to help the distraction team.
Inside Saren's base the Shadow team enters Saren's research lab where they find another Prothean beacon, both S118 and John activate it and complete their prothean vision message. As they start to leave the lab they are contacted by Sovereign and learn that it is an actual reaper. Sovereign is also explains that the reapers harvest organics. When S118 says something towards the Reaper, Sovereign then shocks everyone by saying it has heard about the Reclaimers. When Blade says that's cause the Council already knows about them, Sovereign shocks everyone by saying that they have known about the Reclaimers for Millennium, apparently the first had learned about the Reclaimer race and that they were at war with another race before a parasite race started claiming more planets, most Reclaimers suddenly vanished and the remaining few activated a powerful weapon that wiped the Galaxy clean of all life. The Spartans knew exactly what weapon the Reaper was talking about, they knew that since life was still in the galaxy the Reclaimers at that time would have followed the Mantle and repopulated the galaxy after the firing of the halo rings. Knowing also how the USSC was strict with its rules, they suspected that since the rest of galaxy didn't know about the Reclaimers at that time, they must have enacted Protocol: GENESIS, a protocol where Senetinals deconstruct all technology and structures that were created by the USSC. It made sense to the Spartans who explained it to the rest of the squad who also said it made sense considering their was no evidence of the USSC's existence on Earth or Mars.
Sovereign than says that the Reapers will still deal with the Reclaimers and this cycle. Jane then insults Sovereign saying that its just a machine that can still be broken. Sovereign ends communication and suddenly starts making its way towards Saren's base.
The Shadow squad secures the breeding sector of the base and wait for the Normandy to land. Kaidan unloads the nuclear bomb along with Lysithea and Rita.
Lysithea goes back aboard the Normandy with most of the distraction team as Rita, Jane and Kaidan work on making sure the bomb is ready, while the Shadow squad runs off to help Ripa, Tia, Ashley and the remaining Salarians deal with the final AA gun and the geth forces.
Once the AA gun is dealt with they find the group pinned down by the geth, after killing the geth the group is fired upon by Saren with Biotics. The group gets behind cover and exchange words with Saren. The group fight with Saren who catches most of the off guard with his tactics and Biotic attacks. Saren dangles John over an edge till S118 knocks him over and quickly grabs John just as Saren realises he can't win and escapes on his hover platform.
The group regroup with the others at the bomb and get aboard the Normandy and leave orbit and see the bomb go off destroying the facility.
(Normandy)
After Shepard gives his report Joker picks up a unknown signal coming from a nearby system, the Normandy investigates and finds nothing, the Spartans ask what's going on, and Shepard explains they have discovered a strange signal but can't locate it, the Spartans ask to hear the signal, Joker plays it and the Spartans instantly recognise the tune, and S118 uses his comm and sends a counter tune back, instantly a large ship de-cloaks in front of the Normandy, revealing its self as the USSC Lost Legacy. The crew of the Normandy board the ship and are greeted by other Spartans along with ODSTs and Elites. As the crew are shown around the Lost Legacy, Shepard asks who is the commanding Officer of the ship, the Spartans all look at S118 who was standing next to Liara. S118 explains to Shepard that he is the commanding officer of the ship, and that before this all started he was in a Prowler to assess the enemy they had been fighting but when the Admiral of the Fleet had ordered everyone to escape through the portal the Prowler was the 3rd last ship to enter followed by a damaged Condor and then the Lost Legacy.
Joker then interrupts the group by saying the Council wants the Normandy to come to Citadel to help deal with Saren. The Normandy crew head for the Citadel while the Lost Legacy heads to the Citadel through Slipspace.
(Citadel)
The Lost Legacy arrives on the border of the system the Citadel is located in and cloaks before approaching closer. The Spartans board two pelicans and are dropped off in the wards, the Spartans explore for a while and go to a club while waiting for the Normandy to arrive.
Once the Normandy arrives the Spartans meet up with Shepard in the Council chambers all the while 4 of the new Spartans stay hidden out of sight. The Council grounds the Normandy telling Shepard that Saren isn't going after the Conduit and is more likely planning to attack the Citadel. Udina agrees with the Council and then S118 interrupts saying that he doesn't care, he will go after Saren even if the Council won't. The Turian Councilor says the Normandy is grounded and is the only Alliance ship in the area.
S118 then laughs before saying that the Alliance might not have any ships in the area but that the USSC does. The Councilors and Human Ambassador are confused, S118 nods towards an empty area and then then everyone except for Shepard, the Normandy Crew and the Spartans are shocked as the four cloaked Spartans decloak in front of the Council. One of the new Spartans pulls out a pad and pulls a holographic image out and throws it in front of the Council revealing a hologram of the Lost Legacy. The Spartans explain that at the moment their ship is sitting on the edge of the system, that's why it hasn't been detected by the Citadel Fleet. The Councillors and the Ambassador are shocked at how large this ship was considering it was only a Frigate.
The Councillors say to the Spartans that their answer is still no, and that the Spartans will be confined to the station till the problem with Saren is concluded. The Spartans point out that can't be held since they can lose any security escort easily by cloaking and that they could easily get back to their ship since they have ships that can be cloaked as well.
This stuns the Council, all the while S118 had gotten bored of the arguments and chose to proceed back to the Normandy to check his weapons again in the armoury.
Aboard the Normandy S118 talks to Liara who asks how the meeting was. S118 explains the Council didn't believe them. He then explains that they will stop Saren one way or another. Liara believes him when suddenly both are interrupted by Lysithea who comes around the corner. Lysithea apologises and explains that both Shepards want Liara and S118 to meet them at the club called Flux on the wards.
(Escaping Citadel)
The Spartans and the Normandy crew meet Anderson at the club and learn about how they are going to escape the station, Anderson plans to hack the Ambassador's computer to release the lockdown of the Normandy and asks if the Spartans could possibly get help from any USSC forces they can find. S118 puts Lysithea in charge of the Lost Legacy and orders her to check Reach's co-ordinates for any sign of USSC forces.
The plan is enacted and the Normandy flees the Citadel while the Lost Legacy enters Slipspace and heads to Reach.
(Normandy)
Liara meets with S118 and explains she is worried about if the mission fails, and that these could possibly be their last moments, S118 and Liara become bond-mates that night.
(Illos)
(Battle of the Citadel)
(Battle of the Citadel space)
As the Alliance start shooting the geth fleet to save the Destiny Ascension, Joker suddenly picks up a black hole anomaly appear next to the station, half of the remaining Alliance fleet move near the anomaly while the rest proceed into the citadel's opening arms to engage Sovereign. Joker is surprised when he sees the Lost Legacy exit but is shocked when he sees a massive ship larger than the Destiny Ascension exits the anomaly and is surprised when he notices the ship's name in clear English, USSC Final Dawn, Jenkins an ODST that had earned the Spartans respect and is currently commanding the Final Dawn tells the Alliance fleet that they are here to assist, Joker tells Jenkins that the giant Squid looking ship is the enemy. Jenkins acknowledges this and asks that the alliance forces pull back, while the Final Dawn and the Lost Legacy take down Sovereign.
The moment Sovereign's shields go down and it falls off the Citadel tower the two USSC ships fires their MAC cannons blowing massive holes into Sovereign causing it to explode and send parts flying all over the place and one part of Sovereign crashes into the Citadel Tower.
(After Citadel Tower battle)
The USSC forces drop ODST pods and Elite pods to the surface of the Citadel and start hunting down all the remaining geth on the station and wiping them out. Jenkins and a small group of Marines and ODSTs follow Anderson and some Alliance personnel to the Citadel Tower and search the through the wreckage for the Normandy crew. They find most of them except for John Shepard, S118 and S021. As they are about to take the others to medical Anderson spots movement and notices the three climb up over a part of the wreckage before walking over to them.
(After battle)
The Council thank the two Shepards and the Spartans for saving their lives and also taking out the Reaper, Sovereign. They ask who will humanity select to be the human Councillor on the Citadel. The Spartans and both Shepards agree and select Captain Anderson as the human Councillor. Both Shepards then explain that the Reaper fleet is still out there somewhere.
The Spartans tell everyone they will be going home with the USSC forces, the Council ask how they would get hold of the Spartans or any one of the USSC. The Spartans explain that they will be reachable at these co-ordinates, the Council asks about what is at the Co-ordinates, Jenkins explains to the Council that it's the co-ordinates of the new USSC space station which is above a planet that is rich with Titanium metal, a resource that the USSC uses for their ships. The Council offers the USSC a spot on the council as well, but Jenkins turns it down.
S118 offers to show Liara the planet Reach, Liara agrees to come along to see the planet, S021 and both Shepards and Anderson all thank the Spartans and watch as the USSC all leave for Reach.
On Reach S118 shows Liara around the planet which looks exactly like the planet looked like before Covenant attacked in the Human-Covenant war. The two then head to the home on the outskirts that Jenkins specified was built for S118, Liara is surprised at seeing the Grunts, Hunters and Jackals. She is more shocked when she meets a Promethean Knight but calms down when she learns that they mostly help with building construction, weapon construction, mining and exploring hazardous environments.
Liara explains more about Asari biology and also how long her species lives for. She asks Solar if he is fine with her living for 1000 years, Solar laughs a bit before explaining to Liara that he is actually 39years old already, Liara is confused at why he looks like a man only in his early 20s. Solar explains that all the Spartans are injected with a serum that contains nano bots which repair their damaged cells letting the Spartans stay in their prime and not age. Liara is surprised and Solar says that he will need another injection in 123 years since that is when the nano bots would expire. Liara kisses Solar again and the two make love in Solar's room. Solar offers Liara to live with him here on Reach, Liara agrees and says she could get use to living here.
ME2
(Intro)
The USSC have sent a prowler with S118, Liara and S021 to tag along with the SSV Normandy on routine patrol on the borders of the Terminus System in search of remaining geth forces. Both ships travel next to each other for a while then S118 contacts the Normandy to let them know they are activating their cloaking system, and they vanish from visual sight but remain visible on Sensor. They keep in contact with the Normandy by comm, S021 can't help but agree with what he hears Presly say to Joker about how they still haven't found any geth.
Suddenly the alarms in the prowler go off just as the Spartans and Liara here Joker yell out that its not the geth. S118 banks the prowler to the right hard causing S021 to fall over and fall down the stairs to the second level of the prowler, while Liara holds onto her chair tightly as Solar levels the prowler out and notices the damage the SSV Normandy has taken. They hear over the comm Joker yelling out Mayday trying to get hold of any Alliance forces nearby all the while the Normandy is launching escape pods, however the Collector Ship turns around for another attack and fires on the Normandy again causing more damage. The Spartans and Liara watch as a final pod is launched just before the Normandy is destroyed. Liara asks Solar to help the people in the pods, but then realises he is watching something falling towards the planet and wants to help it but can't risk moving the Prowler else they would be dead as well.
After a few minutes the Collector ship turns and faces where the cloaked Prowler is and waits. S118 realises the Collectors know they are there but cant see them. S118 activates a slipspace portal and flies the prowler in quickly as the Collectors started to charge their main gun.
The Spartans learn from the Normandy survivors, about who had died in the attack, John Shepard and others. The Spartans go to Reach and tell the USSC about what happened. Out of respect the USSC asks that S118 help Liara recover John Shepard's body so that his sister Jane and the Alliance could give him a proper burial.
S118 and Liara explore the crash site of the Normandy and find a few bodies including Pressly and put them in pods to be shipped to the Alliance for burial. After an hour they find John's helmet but notice that his body has been moved.
The two receive a message on their comm from someone who knows where John Shepard's body is. The two go to Omega to meet the contact and meet a Drell called Feron. The group work together and recover Shepard's body however Feron is captured by the Shadow Broker forces. After a few attempted rescue attempts the two are confronted by Cerberus who say that can bring John back to life. The two agree to allow Cerberus to bring John back.
Liara tells S118 that she won't return to Reach for a while till she can locate the Shadow Broker and free Feron. Solar agrees with Liara since he also owed the Drell for a few close saves. Liara heads to Illum to start creating a Information Network and Solar gives her also access to the USSC information network as well. Solar heads back to Reach where he helps train the new batch of Spartans known as Spartan 7's and also train with the new Sanghelli warriors.
2 years later
Solar is in still on Reach in Club () being served by some Jackal bartenders while a Sangelli DJ is playing the music and some humans, elites and grunts are dancing on the floor. Solar takes his drink to the table where a few of the other Spartans are sitting. While the Spartans are talking an ODST comes over and hands Solar a data pad with a message on from Councilor Anderson who says that he wants Solar and two Spartans to come to the Citadel since there are rumours that John Shepard may possibly be alive.
Solar, Rita and Blade go to the Citadel aboard the USSC Lost Legacy and meet with Councilor Anderson who explains that he is going to be talking to the Council in an hour.
ME3
76 years after the Great War had ended. A spartan rebellion had occured with the Spartan 5s due to hostile take over that ONI tried to pull on the UNSC, but with the planets Reach and Arcadia joining the Spartans, along with some Elites, Grunts, Hunters, Engineers, and an unfrozen Spartan 3, the Spartans had an army and ships till the discovery of an unknown installation.
Storyline:
ME1
USSC forces flee from Reach and other human and Sangeheli planets and meet in a random sector of space near an ancient forerunner station. Elementhian forces attack but retreat when the ancient station activates and fires on the Elementhian forces. The surviving USSC forces land on the station and meet a monitor whom upgrades the armour of the Spartans and gives them the schematics for a nano bot injection, it also gives them all a injection of the nano bots to help with injuries and age. The other upgrades are done to the USSC ships, and weapons. The Spartans are given a newly constructed Frigate similar to the USSC frigates but created completely by Forerunner materials, the Spartan S118 names the ship the USSC Lost Legacy. After all ships received upgrades, the Elementhians strike again but with their entire fleet, the Forerunner station fends the Elementhian fleet off and detaches what looks like key ships that open a large portal for the USSC ships to enter, the carrier, USSC Rise of Dawn enters first followed by the Infinity class ship, USSC Final Dawn and a Sangehli Carrier, the USSC Lost Legacy enters the portal just as the USSC prowler, piloted by S118 and S119 are about to enter the hanger.
In the Mass Effect Universe a single USSC prowler drops out of a portal above Eden Prime and plummets towards the planet's surface, the SSV Normandy detects the prowler and watches as the ship falls towards the planets surface, the two Spartans on board of the prowler escape by jumping out of the ship once it entered the planet's atmosphere. Spartan 118 is the first to recover from hitting the ground while Spartan 119 recovers shortly after. The two hear gun fire and take out two geth before getting confronted by Commander Jane Shepard and Commander John Shepard, and Kaiden Alenko and Ashley Williams.
The two explain they were in occupants of the crashed ship and agreed to explain more later after they helped the group complete their mission. The group come across Nihlus's dead body and learn from a dock worker about what happened.
The group fights through the spaceport to the beacon and Spartan 119 disarms all the bombs quickly before the group proceed to the beacon. Ashley gets to close to the beacon and John moves Ashley out of the way and gets a vision burned into his head, Jane grabs John and pulls him away before getting grabbed by the beacon as well only to be grabbed by Spartan 118 and thrown out of the way of the beacon and S118 gets grabbed by the beacon and has the same vision burned into his mind. After the beacon explodes Spartan 118 looks at the group a bit confused before he collapses on the ground next to John Shepard, confusing the other humans and S119.
On board of the Normandy, the crew learn that the two Spartans had massive injuries from their jump out of their doomed ship which they viewed from the recorded video in Spartan 119's helmet camera. The doctor was surprised that S119 was still able to move around and not collapse from the injuries. She is more shocked after learning that there wounds are healed almost instantly, from nano bots. Once the Spartans recovered they where asked to explain who they were and how they got there.
After explaining what happened Anderson asks Spartan 118 what the beacon showed him, he explains that it was a vision of machines killing organics, but what race he couldn't tell since the images came really quick in his mind he couldn't decipher it. John Shepard says he saw something exactly similar to what S118 saw in the vision.
The Spartans agree to come along with the Normandy crew to the Citadel and see the Council. Once at the citadel the human Ambassador is surprised at seeing heavy armoured beings that could go toe to toe with Krogans and probably win.
The group meet the Council to talk about Saren's involvement with Eden Prime. The Council believe Saren more than the Normandy crew but are suddenly confused when they finally notice the two Spartans, they ask the two Spartans who they are and what race they are, they explain they are humans but not from the Alliance and say easiest term they could be called by is Reclaimers, that way they wouldn't be confused with the humans of the Alliance.
The Turian councillor keeps saying that the humans are trying to secretly gain more power by creating super soldiers but the Salarian and Asari councillor s agree that the Reclaimers aren't part of the Alliance due their armour and their weapons being far more advanced than anything the Alliance can develop. However the council explains that as for Saren there is not enough evidence to prove he is a traitor.
The Normandy crew then search for leads on the Citadel and learn of a Quarian in danger due to her having information about Saren. When they get to where the Quarian is the group is surprised to see another Spartan suddenly come out of the shadows and slaughter all the assassins with a green energy sword. The Spartan introduces himself to the group as Spartan 265, he then rejoins the other two Spartans happily, glad that he isn't the only one stuck in a strange place.
After reviewing the evidence and hearing about something called the Reapers they deliver the evidence to the council both John and Jane Shepard are made Spectres and tasked with tracking down Saren and eliminating him. The three Spartans come along with the group and board the Normandy which had Anderson has given command over to John Shepard.
The group is given a few leads by Udina and Anderson, and after a nice speech from John Shepard the Normandy leaves the Citadel and proceeds to the Artimis Tau Cluster where they fight a large amount of geth to get to Liara T'Soni. As they rescue Liara, Jane Shepard asks Liara about her excavation here on Therum. Liara explains that the ruins are Prothean but then says that further in the ruins she came across a door that wasn't of Prothean origin and couldn't get it open.
Liara leads the group to the door and S118 is shocked at its discovery, he places his hand on the Forerunner glyph lock causing the symbol for Reclaimer to appear and unlock the door. Liara is surprised at how S118 was able to open the door just from his hand. Upon exploring the corridors the group learn they are in the remains of the USSC Rise of Dawn. The group continues to explore the ship and learn that the survivors escaped in the few frigates that were docked inside the ship and had set Slipspace co-ordinates for random co-ordinates. They learnt from the audio files on the bridge that the ship was attack by hundreds of unknown contacts and that they choose to sacrifice the ship as a distraction to rescue as many people. The ship had fired 6 Havok nukes at the enemy fleet blinding their sensors allowing the ship to crash land undetected on the surface of the planet. After leaving the ship and taking the Prothean elevator to the top floor of the ruins, the group fight a group of geth lead by a Krogan. The group is surprised when they see S118 take the Krogan down in close combat.
After the fight the group flee from the ruins as a bomb goes off causing the cavern to start to collapse. Once back aboard the Normandy Liara explains about her studies of Prothean ruins and her theory about their disappearance. John explains to Liara they were wiped out by a synthetic race called the Reapers. She asks how he knows this, S118 explains that both he and John Shepard had the same vision burned into our minds from a damaged Prothean beacon on Eden Prime. Liara seems fascinated at learning this and asks S118 about how he was able to open the ancient ship's door. S118 explains that he and the other two Spartans are human but with a few different genetic traits, and are known as Reclaimers from where they came from. Liara is surprised at hearing they are members of an advanced civilization, and nearly falls only to get caught by S118. She explains she is just tired and Jane Shepard orders her to go visit Doctor Chakwas for a quick check to make sure she is ok. After the crew is dismissed Jane and John stand in front of the comm terminal and contact the Council. The three Spartans laugh when they watch Jane cut the comm feed with the Council while they were having the shits at both Shepards about the ruins destruction.
S118 goes down to the crew deck and accidentally bumps into Liara as she was coming up the elevator from the cargo hold. Liara and S118 talk to each other for a while and S118 makes Liara a bit embarrassed. Liara thanks S118 for the chat and S118 leaves her to continue doing some of her work in the room next to the med bay. Meanwhile on the bridge John is given a message from Admiral Haccket about a rogue VI on the moon, and also receives a message from someone on the Citadel called Nassana Dantiass.
The Normandy returns to the Citadel John Shepard gives the most of the crew a little shore leave while he deals with some issues on the Citadel. The Spartans explore a club with Ashley and Kaidan and come across a terminal that seems to be transferring credits. The five of them track the transfer to an AI that threatens to explode and kill everything in the blast radius. Suddenly the AI goes insane before getting destroyed by something inside it. Suddenly the group hear a female voice behind them and turn to see another Spartan whom the 3 Spartans recognise as Lysithea. The Spartans explain to Ashley and Kaidan that Lysithea is a true cyborg an AI given a robotic organic body, both Kaidan and Ashley are a bit taken back that the newcomer is an AI, but calm down when the other Spartans explain that USSC AI where designed off a human brain and that they tend to behave as humans especially once they have achieved Meta Stability which Lysithea had achieved.
Upon returning to the Normandy a slight conflict between Tali and Lysithea occurs but Tali calms down when she learns that Lysithea is now more Human than machine when she was created.
The Normandy goes to the moon first and Jane leads Ripa, Tia, Garrus and Wrex against the rogue VI and end up disabling the VI. After that the Normandy then heads to an unknown planet where they where told Nassana's sister was being held by pirates. The crew split up into two squads, John leads Solar, Liara and Wrex, while Jane leads Ripa, Ashley and Garrus. Before the group arrive at the base Joker transmits to the group the last communication that came out of the base which explains that something was inside killing them all with a strange energy blade.
Once the group enters the base they find the pirates all dead including Nassana's sister dead on the floor wearing the same armour as the other pirates. Wrex is enjoying the view of the dead pirates noticing that none of them had any bullet wounds. As the two groups secure the lower level they are attack by a White and Red coloured Spartan whom knocks Wrex over and is about to deliver a killing blow with his sword only to stop when he notices the other two Spartans with the group. The spartan reveals himself as S021 known as Blade. Both Shepards question Blade about why he killed all the people in the building, Blade explains that he just appeared inside the building and startled some of the pirates next thing he knew he was under attack from them.
The group bring Blade aboard the Normandy where he also notices that Lysithea and Tia were on board as well. He then asks if anyone else appeared. The Spartans tell Blade about the fate of the Rise of Dawn and that the survivors had followed Cole-Protocol and that they have no idea where they settled.

John Shepard, Garrus, Ashley, Kaidan and Tia Azuregos - S119, Shadow - S251
(Normandy)
S118 goes to talk with Liara who explains she was fascinated about S118s past accomplishments, how he and his sister discovered the plot against their people and also how he had to fight a clone of himself whom was made into a Spartan 6. S118 explains to Liara she could have just asked him for the information instead of Lysithea just giving her the information. Liara apologises and explains that she is has feelings for S118 and asks if he does have feelings for her as well. S118 acknowledges that he has feelings for Liara as well. Liara is glad but also confused at how come they both have feelings for each other since they are both different species.
(Noveria)
Jane Shepard, Liara T'Soni, Solar Azuregos - S118, Kaosu Blade - S021 and Wrex, Rita - S150
The group arrive on Noveria and deal with a slight conflict in the spaceport before meeting the administrator who doesn't want to help. The assistant tells the group how to get her help and they contact the Turian that is the bar. The group proceed to the offices and are confronted by hired officers. Jane says that she can kill criminals, they say she is bluffing, then Wrex says that there right, and then says that Jane is actually going to let him eat them, which the two Spartans couldn't help but laugh after the Merck made a run for it. Once the group got the evidence they are confronted by one of the corrupt officers and she says shit to them when suddenly she is silenced by a red blade sticking out of her stomach. The mercs next to her and the group look behind her and watch as a Red Spartan decloaks, before pulling the red energy sword out of the corrupt officer. The battle ends quickly and the Red Spartans introduces herself to Jane, Liara and Wrex, as Rita Solex, S150.
The group talk to the assistant and give the evidence to the Turian and convince him to testify against the Administrator. The group then proceed to the garage where they are ambushed by geth. After a talk with security they then proceed in a Mako towards Peak 15.
The group fight more geth and Krogan before meeting an unknown bug species. The group battle the bugs as they restore power to Peak 15 to access the trams to get to Rift Station.
Once at Rift Station the group find survivors holed up fighting the bugs. The group go and talk to the doctor and help him develop a cure against the venom the bugs are spitting but then have to kill an asari and a few geth. The group then hand the antidote to the doctor and then take a secret passage to the hot labs where they confront Matriarch Benzia. Liara and Benzia say a few words and then Benzia insults the squad saying have any of them faced an asari commando before, few humans have. The three Spartans then counted what she said by saying have any of you faced a squad of Spartans before, cause if they did they wouldn't be alive to say they faced them. Benzia is angered by what the Spartans said and the battle begins. After a couple of minutes the Battle ends and Benzia regains control of her mind and gives the group the co-ordinates to the Mu Relay. She then talks to Liara and asks the group to end her since she is struggling to stay in control. Liara ends up pulling the trigger killing her mother.
The group then talk to the Rachni Queen, Wrex says they should kill her, but Liara says they should give her species another chance. The three Spartans agree with Liara explaining that they follow the code of the Mantle and won't allow a Species be driven to extinction for something that happened in another age.
The group then goes and deals with the insane Rachni drones and then return to the Normandy.
(Normandy)
S118 checks up on Liara to make sure she is ok after the events with her mother. Liara explains she misses her mother and explains she likes to remember who she was before she joined Saren. Liara then explains about Asari physiology and how they reproduce. She then explains that she hasn't ever taken a mate before and that she is still new to all this. S118 tells her to take her time.
(Virmire)
The Normandy travels to Virmire to check on the Salarian infiltration team to see what they have found. In orbit Joker notices the large AA guns Jane Shepard says to drop everyone in the Mako but the Spartans say they have a better idea. They jump from the Normandy's ramp in orbit and plung straight towards the AA guns at high speed. Jane, John, Liara, Wrex, Tali, Ashley and Kaidan watch the live footage from the Spartans helmet cams and watch as they hit the ground hard even after activating their thruster packs to slow them down. Wrex is laughing in the Mako when he sees a Geth Juggernaut walk over to one of the downed Spartans only to suddenly get its head ripped off by the Spartan.
The Mako pulls up to the first AA gun and let's S118 and S119 inside before continuing to the second where they find many dismembered geth and the AA gun disabled. they then let S021 and Ripa inside and proceed towards where the Salarians are.
The Salarians explain that they found Saren's base of operation and that they have word Saren is here but haven't seen him. They explain that he is breeding an army of Krogan. Wrex is pissed when he learns about the Genophage cure and that the Salarians want to destroy it. Both John Shepard and S118 talk to Wrex and calm him down. The Salarians then explain they have used spare parts from their ship to create a nuclear bomb which has to be placed in the centre of the facility.
The Salarians explain they will create a distraction to help a Shadow team sneak into the facility and disable the defences. Most of the Spartans join the Distraction team while S118 and S021 join Shadow team and destroy key defence points to help the distraction team.
Inside Saren's base the Shadow team enters Saren's research lab where they find another Prothean beacon, both S118 and John activate it and complete their prothean vision message. As they start to leave the lab they are contacted by Sovereign and learn that it is an actual reaper. Sovereign is also explains that the reapers harvest organics. When S118 says something towards the Reaper, Sovereign then shocks everyone by saying it has heard about the Reclaimers. When Blade says that's cause the Council already knows about them, Sovereign shocks everyone by saying that they have known about the Reclaimers for Millennium, apparently the first had learned about the Reclaimer race and that they were at war with another race before a parasite race started claiming more planets, most Reclaimers suddenly vanished and the remaining few activated a powerful weapon that wiped the Galaxy clean of all life. The Spartans knew exactly what weapon the Reaper was talking about, they knew that since life was still in the galaxy the Reclaimers at that time would have followed the Mantle and repopulated the galaxy after the firing of the halo rings. Knowing also how the USSC was strict with its rules, they suspected that since the rest of galaxy didn't know about the Reclaimers at that time, they must have enacted Protocol: GENESIS, a protocol where Senetinals deconstruct all technology and structures that were created by the USSC. It made sense to the Spartans who explained it to the rest of the squad who also said it made sense considering their was no evidence of the USSC's existence on Earth or Mars.
Sovereign than says that the Reapers will still deal with the Reclaimers and this cycle. Jane then insults Sovereign saying that its just a machine that can still be broken. Sovereign ends communication and suddenly starts making its way towards Saren's base.
The Shadow squad secures the breeding sector of the base and wait for the Normandy to land. Kaidan unloads the nuclear bomb along with Lysithea and Rita.
Lysithea goes back aboard the Normandy with most of the distraction team as Rita, Jane and Kaidan work on making sure the bomb is ready, while the Shadow squad runs off to help Ripa, Tia, Ashley and the remaining Salarians deal with the final AA gun and the geth forces.
Once the AA gun is dealt with they find the group pinned down by the geth, after killing the geth the group is fired upon by Saren with Biotics. The group gets behind cover and exchange words with Saren. The group fight with Saren who catches most of the off guard with his tactics and Biotic attacks. Saren dangles John over an edge till S118 knocks him over and quickly grabs John just as Saren realises he can't win and escapes on his hover platform.
The group regroup with the others at the bomb and get aboard the Normandy and leave orbit and see the bomb go off destroying the facility.
(Normandy)
After Shepard gives his report Joker picks up a unknown signal coming from a nearby system, the Normandy investigates and finds nothing, the Spartans ask what's going on, and Shepard explains they have discovered a strange signal but can't locate it, the Spartans ask to hear the signal, Joker plays it and the Spartans instantly recognise the tune, and S118 uses his comm and sends a counter tune back, instantly a large ship de-cloaks in front of the Normandy, revealing its self as the USSC Lost Legacy. The crew of the Normandy board the ship and are greeted by other Spartans along with ODSTs and Elites. As the crew are shown around the Lost Legacy, Shepard asks who is the commanding Officer of the ship, the Spartans all look at S118 who was standing next to Liara. S118 explains to Shepard that he is the commanding officer of the ship, and that before this all started he was in a Prowler to assess the enemy they had been fighting but when the Admiral of the Fleet had ordered everyone to escape through the portal the Prowler was the 3rd last ship to enter followed by a damaged Condor and then the Lost Legacy.
Joker then interrupts the group by saying the Council wants the Normandy to come to Citadel to help deal with Saren. The Normandy crew head for the Citadel while the Lost Legacy heads to the Citadel through Slipspace.
(Citadel)
The Lost Legacy arrives on the border of the system the Citadel is located in and cloaks before approaching closer. The Spartans board two pelicans and are dropped off in the wards, the Spartans explore for a while and go to a club while waiting for the Normandy to arrive.
Once the Normandy arrives the Spartans meet up with Shepard in the Council chambers all the while 4 of the new Spartans stay hidden out of sight. The Council grounds the Normandy telling Shepard that Saren isn't going after the Conduit and is more likely planning to attack the Citadel. Udina agrees with the Council and then S118 interrupts saying that he doesn't care, he will go after Saren even if the Council won't. The Turian Councilor says the Normandy is grounded and is the only Alliance ship in the area.
S118 then laughs before saying that the Alliance might not have any ships in the area but that the USSC does. The Councilors and Human Ambassador are confused, S118 nods towards an empty area and then then everyone except for Shepard, the Normandy Crew and the Spartans are shocked as the four cloaked Spartans decloak in front of the Council. One of the new Spartans pulls out a pad and pulls a holographic image out and throws it in front of the Council revealing a hologram of the Lost Legacy. The Spartans explain that at the moment their ship is sitting on the edge of the system, that's why it hasn't been detected by the Citadel Fleet. The Councillors and the Ambassador are shocked at how large this ship was considering it was only a Frigate.
The Councillors say to the Spartans that their answer is still no, and that the Spartans will be confined to the station till the problem with Saren is concluded. The Spartans point out that can't be held since they can lose any security escort easily by cloaking and that they could easily get back to their ship since they have ships that can be cloaked as well.
This stuns the Council, all the while S118 had gotten bored of the arguments and chose to proceed back to the Normandy to check his weapons again in the armoury.
Aboard the Normandy S118 talks to Liara who asks how the meeting was. S118 explains the Council didn't believe them. He then explains that they will stop Saren one way or another. Liara believes him when suddenly both are interrupted by Lysithea who comes around the corner. Lysithea apologises and explains that both Shepards want Liara and S118 to meet them at the club called Flux on the wards.
(Escaping Citadel)
The Spartans and the Normandy crew meet Anderson at the club and learn about how they are going to escape the station, Anderson plans to hack the Ambassador's computer to release the lockdown of the Normandy and asks if the Spartans could possibly get help from any USSC forces they can find. S118 puts Lysithea in charge of the Lost Legacy and orders her to check Reach's co-ordinates for any sign of USSC forces.
The plan is enacted and the Normandy flees the Citadel while the Lost Legacy enters Slipspace and heads to Reach.
(Normandy)
Liara meets with S118 and explains she is worried about if the mission fails, and that these could possibly be their last moments, S118 and Liara become bond-mates that night.
(Illos)
(Battle of the Citadel)
(Battle of the Citadel space)
As the Alliance start shooting the geth fleet to save the Destiny Ascension, Joker suddenly picks up a black hole anomaly appear next to the station, half of the remaining Alliance fleet move near the anomaly while the rest proceed into the citadel's opening arms to engage Sovereign. Joker is surprised when he sees the Lost Legacy exit but is shocked when he sees a massive ship larger than the Destiny Ascension exits the anomaly and is surprised when he notices the ship's name in clear English, USSC Final Dawn, Jenkins an ODST that had earned the Spartans respect and is currently commanding the Final Dawn tells the Alliance fleet that they are here to assist, Joker tells Jenkins that the giant Squid looking ship is the enemy. Jenkins acknowledges this and asks that the alliance forces pull back, while the Final Dawn and the Lost Legacy take down Sovereign.
The moment Sovereign's shields go down and it falls off the Citadel tower the two USSC ships fires their MAC cannons blowing massive holes into Sovereign causing it to explode and send parts flying all over the place and one part of Sovereign crashes into the Citadel Tower.
(After Citadel Tower battle)
The USSC forces drop ODST pods and Elite pods to the surface of the Citadel and start hunting down all the remaining geth on the station and wiping them out. Jenkins and a small group of Marines and ODSTs follow Anderson and some Alliance personnel to the Citadel Tower and search the through the wreckage for the Normandy crew. They find most of them except for John Shepard, S118 and S021. As they are about to take the others to medical Anderson spots movement and notices the three climb up over a part of the wreckage before walking over to them.
(After battle)
The Council thank the two Shepards and the Spartans for saving their lives and also taking out the Reaper, Sovereign. They ask who will humanity select to be the human Councillor on the Citadel. The Spartans and both Shepards agree and select Captain Anderson as the human Councillor. Both Shepards then explain that the Reaper fleet is still out there somewhere.
The Spartans tell everyone they will be going home with the USSC forces, the Council ask how they would get hold of the Spartans or any one of the USSC. The Spartans explain that they will be reachable at these co-ordinates, the Council asks about what is at the Co-ordinates, Jenkins explains to the Council that it's the co-ordinates of the new USSC space station which is above a planet that is rich with Titanium metal, a resource that the USSC uses for their ships. The Council offers the USSC a spot on the council as well, but Jenkins turns it down.
S118 offers to show Liara the planet Reach, Liara agrees to come along to see the planet, S021 and both Shepards and Anderson all thank the Spartans and watch as the USSC all leave for Reach.
On Reach S118 shows Liara around the planet which looks exactly like the planet looked like before Covenant attacked in the Human-Covenant war. The two then head to the home on the outskirts that Jenkins specified was built for S118, Liara is surprised at seeing the Grunts, Hunters and Jackals. She is more shocked when she meets a Promethean Knight but calms down when she learns that they mostly help with building construction, weapon construction, mining and exploring hazardous environments.
Liara explains more about Asari biology and also how long her species lives for. She asks Solar if he is fine with her living for 1000 years, Solar laughs a bit before explaining to Liara that he is actually 39years old already, Liara is confused at why he looks like a man only in his early 20s. Solar explains that all the Spartans are injected with a serum that contains nano bots which repair their damaged cells letting the Spartans stay in their prime and not age. Liara is surprised and Solar says that he will need another injection in 123 years since that is when the nano bots would expire. Liara kisses Solar again and the two make love in Solar's room. Solar offers Liara to live with him here on Reach, Liara agrees and says she could get use to living here.

(Intro)
The USSC have sent a prowler with S118, Liara and S021 to tag along with the SSV Normandy on routine patrol on the borders of the Terminus System in search of remaining geth forces. Both ships travel next to each other for a while then S118 contacts the Normandy to let them know they are activating their cloaking system, and they vanish from visual sight but remain visible on Sensor. They keep in contact with the Normandy by comm, S021 can't help but agree with what he hears Presly say to Joker about how they still haven't found any geth.
Suddenly the alarms in the prowler go off just as the Spartans and Liara here Joker yell out that its not the geth. S118 banks the prowler to the right hard causing S021 to fall over and fall down the stairs to the second level of the prowler, while Liara holds onto her chair tightly as Solar levels the prowler out and notices the damage the SSV Normandy has taken. They hear over the comm Joker yelling out Mayday trying to get hold of any Alliance forces nearby all the while the Normandy is launching escape pods, however the Collector Ship turns around for another attack and fires on the Normandy again causing more damage. The Spartans and Liara watch as a final pod is launched just before the Normandy is destroyed. Liara asks Solar to help the people in the pods, but then realises he is watching something falling towards the planet and wants to help it but can't risk moving the Prowler else they would be dead as well.
After a few minutes the Collector ship turns and faces where the cloaked Prowler is and waits. S118 realises the Collectors know they are there but cant see them. S118 activates a slipspace portal and flies the prowler in quickly as the Collectors started to charge their main gun.
The Spartans learn from the Normandy survivors, about who had died in the attack, John Shepard and others. The Spartans go to Reach and tell the USSC about what happened. Out of respect the USSC asks that S118 help Liara recover John Shepard's body so that his sister Jane and the Alliance could give him a proper burial.
S118 and Liara explore the crash site of the Normandy and find a few bodies including Pressly and put them in pods to be shipped to the Alliance for burial. After an hour they find John's helmet but notice that his body has been moved.
The two receive a message on their comm from someone who knows where John Shepard's body is. The two go to Omega to meet the contact and meet a Drell called Feron. The group work together and recover Shepard's body however Feron is captured by the Shadow Broker forces. After a few attempted rescue attempts the two are confronted by Cerberus who say that can bring John back to life. The two agree to allow Cerberus to bring John back.
Liara tells S118 that she won't return to Reach for a while till she can locate the Shadow Broker and free Feron. Solar agrees with Liara since he also owed the Drell for a few close saves. Liara heads to Illum to start creating a Information Network and Solar gives her also access to the USSC information network as well. Solar heads back to Reach where he helps train the new batch of Spartans known as Spartan 7's and also train with the new Sanghelli warriors.
2 years later
Solar is in still on Reach in Club () being served by some Jackal bartenders while a Sangelli DJ is playing the music and some humans, elites and grunts are dancing on the floor. Solar takes his drink to the table where a few of the other Spartans are sitting. While the Spartans are talking an ODST comes over and hands Solar a data pad with a message on from Councilor Anderson who says that he wants Solar and two Spartans to come to the Citadel since there are rumours that John Shepard may possibly be alive.
Solar, Rita and Blade go to the Citadel aboard the USSC Lost Legacy and meet with Councilor Anderson who explains that he is going to be talking to the Council in an hour.
