From Create Your Own Story
"Three ships went missing here in the past month, something happened to them" - Joker
A blindingly bright beam tears is tesla through the Normandy's hull, ripping apart the ship with ancient and forgotten technology. The bridge is devestated, exposed to the ever hungry maw of the dark void. A second attack from this unknown enemy extinguishes any hope of salvaging the ship, as near simultaneous explosions rack the Normandy's interior; the all consuming flame penetrating the ships vital systems. The pitifully small group of survivors swarm towards the escape pods, abandoning the Normandy to its fate. The pods jettison, escaping into the unforgiving and unknowable abyss of space; however, Commander Shepard stumbles through the wreckage still, suit scorched by the inferno, to brave the silent cosmos. Passing through what remains of the bridge, Shepard defiantly risks their own life to save that of the only crew left; Joker. Pulling them from the cockpit, Joker is set into the last escape pod; but before they can depart, another violent explosion forces the pair apart. In order to save Joker's life; Shepard externally fires the escape pod, whilst the whispers of space enter them. The suit was damaged, Shepard exposed, and now was useless against embrace of death.
This is , however, not the end... A great white light appears out of the darkness and Shepard opens their eyes. Greeting them is a painfully sterile room, distorted by frequent flashes of red. Eventually, you realise that you are not dead, and soon after, your hearing returns. ""..pard, this station is under attack; grab a weapon and get out of their!", an unfamiliar voice calls. Forcefully pushing yourself up, pain stabs throughout your body, the most excruciating agony imaginable. Directly in front of you is a mirror, who is looking back?
