Summary
The greatest threat to any organized system is an Outside Context Problem.
-Ignatio Mobius, PHD, in an address to the UN general AssemblyIn 2689 of the Council Era, 2157 of the Terran Common Era, a Turian patrol encountered a heavily armed patrol fleet of an unknown species activating a mass relay. The patrol fired upon the aliens, in contravention of Citadel first contact convention, sparking a war that would at least for a short while, severely damage the Turian Hierarchy’s ability to wage war.
The 314 war came to a stalemate well within Turian territory, and it became abundantly clear that the Turian Hierarchy had sparked a conflict with another alien nation with military and industrial capacity almost on par with the Citadel Council in its entirety, backed by an entirely distinct technological paradigm.
The People of the Systems Alliance call it Tiberium.

Summary
Commander Shepard is dead. In his place, a man wakes up to a galaxy that's moved on without him. Forced to ally with the monstrous organisation Cerberus, the newley rekindled Shepard discovers he's a shadow of the hero he used to be.
Saddled with a suicide mission to stop the extinction of mankind, the commander is trapped between stopping a new and deadly enemy, and trying to piece himself back together.
Facing his most dangerous mission yet, Shepard quickly discovers that without something deeper than duty to his mission, he won't be coming back at all.
A Shepard/Tali novelisation of Mass Effect 2, with slight changes to the canon. This story will follow a man scarred by death. There will be fluff and fun to be had with the commander and his close friends, but ultimately this will be a tale of overcoming loss and grief.
Thanks in advance to all my readers. I hope you enjoy!
