When I synced back with myself, the info of everything that has transpired flows into me. Days ago Final Fantasy wise the Mass effect World time started back up. It was not supposed to, However, whoever was messing with us choose when Galtea was resting to do so. The good news Galtea had a trap set to deal with them. A trace went out to find out those involved. Bad news they disrupted the timeline in Mass Effect. I have a few emails to send out later. Since I am planetside on Feros they will have to wait.
The second consciousness I have, took over good enough and started the mission. A lot of people were surprised at my behavior. But Riku and Mia covered for me. Yeah, Mia stepped up big time apparently her and Riku, as well as Galtea, are some kind of weird sisterhood thingy going on. Alistair was listed as sick so he stayed in quarters. Reported to the Captain that he was suffering from a biotic overload due to the implant adjustment. Which is technically true the other me installed a new implant to tie him over. The influx of energy he received as a Zodiac Saint affected his body a little.
The Professor I created with mana goes by the name Sophia she travels with us. The Engineer Bruno is working on fixing the ship as much as possible. They both are quiet to the others, but very social to me. The child that crashed in the lab earlier has a strong attachment to the engineer. other me did not care since it made the engineer seem more normal. Chari never came back to the lab but we exchanged messages. She is doing a lot better. The Captain and the other me have been sending messages. Mostly about medical interest. The other me sold a medical patent that awarded the crew 1.5 million credits debt free. It earned me some leeway with what I do on the ship. Also, solidfiy my crew on the ship.
Back to me and the crew currently. I have time to think about what happened later. The info reveals of them. The away team consists of two groups. Alpha squad... and Delta squad.

"Fucking hell..." I said as I blinked repeatedly at them.
"Everything ok?" Sophia asked.
"Good everything is done. Let me fix the frequency." I said as I activated the final components.
Both teams were gathered around an old Mako. Waiting on my signal that the cycle cleaner for our suits were done. Apparently, it has been nothing but trouble. The groundwork and the finding of absolutely nothing the last few days on the surface, took its toll.
"Alright gather around. These devices will alert you for any hot zone nearby. It will also cycle any toxic air to breathable air. Any main neurotoxin into manageable air. Still, use caution. Let's check out all these tunnels and stay fresh. There should still be a danger present inside." I said to everyone despite the fact this was not they're the first rodeo, and they knew the info already.
After a diagnostics of all gear, everyone calms down. We went our separates ways into the back tunnels and came across an abandoned shaft.
"Riku check to see if that is operational still. If it isn't cut the line and set up a rappel system for a quick descent. Mia check around for salvage material and what happened. Sophia give me a hand checking out this corpse." I gave out orders before moving to the body.
"Not a problem boss," Riku said as she got started on her task. She moved her head up and down the sides and checked under the console. "aha, " she said as her omni tool started to glow. She also tapped something on her wrist. Pulling something off she dropped it into the shaft.
I left that alone she is trained I think. Holy crap I need to check on her actual skills for this world. But in the meantime. This is more important.
"This guy should not be here. But then again my info is technically outdated. Let's see what he has on him. Sophia go over his vitals I would like to know what happened to his body. I will check his omni-tool. Lunabelle gather all the information you can and scrap it, if it's unusable. If the Omni-tool is salvageable I will remove it." I said while checking the gear.
A few minutes there was a problem. First from Riku. Then Sophia.
"My drone has found something down below. There is a group of colonists trapped way down below. These people look a little green in the skin. I can't really tell from the feed. The lift is done for. The system is done it will hold up to 500 pounds tops. But I have found something else here. There is a bomb set up to the lift. It is definitely fresh considering there isn't even any dust on it. Whoever set this up, most likely haven't gone too far. They might be right ahead of us. Maybe they were trying to kill these colonists ahead of us.
"The only ones who know about this location would be us, and whoever hired us right?" Mia asked after a quick look at me.
"Don't know but. I will dismantle it now. The bomb that is. Also, I am keeping it.... to study boss. It will take a few minutes." Riku said a little chipper. "This is so fun better than being couped in the ship. Boss the Captain won't let me tinker with anything, she is so rude."
"Got it Riku. Sophia what do you have for me." This was getting crazy already. Kinda wish I had a day off before this.
"There are traces of cellular breakdown in this Krogan. Also tampering with the Genophage as well." Sophia said surprised. "This specific Krogan before his death showed traces of the strand removed. Sir, I will extract some tissue samples this will help our research tremendously."
"Dammit, I need something to give over to Exogeni to help with the finances," I said before thinking to myself a little.
System Check: Intelligence 19 Wisdom 21 Imperium Lore War in effect.
'What the hell is that last part. Tch no time for it now If I think about it too much I will screw something up. But at least my next decision will somewhat work out.'
"Mia keep Riku covered. Once the bomb is removed and Sophia is done with her samples. Signal me when you all finish we will go from there. Sophia if you finish before Riku try to figure out what you can about the dead Krogan. In other words what killed him." I let them process that for a few seconds with no one disagreeing I continued with the next part.
"If things go south try to meet back with the other squad. Do not die down here understood?" Before I could continue Sophia spoke up.
"Wait where will you be my Lord?" Sophia didn't look up as she asked. Staying eye focus on her task.
"I will descend into the shaft and see what the hell is going on down there," I said as I walked and hooked myself into the rappel system and lowered myself down.
While descending Mia came up to the shaft and looked down at me. I couldn't make out the expression on her face. The look in her eyes looked focus before she pulled back. Hopefully, it was a good expression. During the descent, Galtea reconnected with me.
Galtea: User, how goes the mission.
"Well there are some green people down below me, so yeah... So possible people exposed to the Thorian or possibly controlled by it. That would be weird since I believe Shepard killed it. Don't know just yet. Attempting to make contact now. So decent I guess." I stopped and installed a quick anchor.
Galtea: Better than nothing. On to other personal matters. Alma has regained her memories thanks to Alistair. It resulted in a dangerous argument between her and him that required Jaina to break apart.
'Well shit. What else is there?' Well at least he can move forward with his relationship I think. 'Wait how did she break them up?'
Galtea: She separated them and froze them with Ice up till there necks facing each other. In other news. Tietra is still recovering but the Emperor of mankind has given her a gift. She will join your building Legion as a Sister of Battle. All the tactics and upgrades have been provided to her. Also, the woman known as Mileuda as well. Congratulations on that front. Codis and the twins have joined under Alistair's banner. I have linked his Auxillary System with them and have explained how it will work. Basically, he is a Pseudo-User now.
'Well shit. That is good.' I thought to her as I placed another anchor into the sides of the shaft. With the body upgrades this should be a piece of cake to climb and descend but... just in case I am injured. As well as the fact this may turn into an extraction mission.
Galtea: Good news for you though. Your squad and Argath company all are joining you. You now have more forces. But they are far from a fantasy setting so points have been spent to bring them up to speed. I have given them the general education from this Universe as well as the training your forces would receive. You have gained enough followers for this.
System: A Squad Leader: All loyal followers receive Basic Lin Kuei, Imperium Tactics & Law, as well as a second heart.
Galtea: Keep in mind the Lin Kuei knowledge is at the level of just a little understanding. They have not unlocked their element yet. A mission has been generated to solve that problem. The Imperium Tactics & Law will give them the training and understanding of an Imperial Guardsman. Multiple missions have generated to solve that issue.
'I am not going on those missions anytime soon am I ?' I definitely need to take a break.
Galtea: No. I will space them out. Jaina does not like the environment here so she has elected to stay in your Netherworld. She has taken a liking to its environment. While there I have tasked her to train those who are magically inclined.
'Makes sense. I am about to enter a possible hostile zone. What else do you have for me?' I placed the last spike and brace to jump down.
Galtea: Agria has the making of a Saint. Not like the Saint from her world but from 40k. In other words, she can become like Celestine. Argath has the making of a Pseudo Primarch. Power and skill at the point that he could challenge Primarchs. You need to make a choice on which one to make. Both choices will affect their worlds and 40k.
'Dammit, just make Agria a Saint. If Argath proves that he can still show compassion like before then I have no problem of that. Besides someone like Celestine is hard to make I think.
Galtea: Agria has been placed in hyper conditioning. All knowledge of the Imperium and its laws are no in her head. Sections have been closed to allow adjustment as needed. Receiving upgrades a space marine would receive as well as artificial training like a sister of battle. Agria has been placed in a training simulator with the order of the Bloody Rose.
'Well hot damn.' I jumped down and let the shock absorbers take the brunt of the damage. To be on the safe side I had my biotics stretch outward to stop any possible debris fall.
System: Constitution Check 14
No shakes or quakes. So that was good. A cloud of small dust from the ground a few little creatures running about. Have no idea what they were. Lights appeared from a small distance away. Obviously, it was the colonists.
"Who the hell are you?" A colonist said while he pointed his pistol at me.
"Well, I came here to do some cleanup. As well as secure some samples from Exogeni. They will not spend credits on this place without due reason." I said as I folded my arms and step back. What they couldn't see was that I prepared a small biotic ball in my hand. It should work as a quick deploy shield.
If it isn't needed I will let it disperse into my suits shields. The other me made some crazy adjustments. Apparently, he works of the ideas I form and puts them into practice logically. That scares me a good bit. I think of some weird shit.
"So Exogeni sent you here to kill us all!" The colonist man in the frontman screamed as he opens fire wildly missing me and targeting the wall behind me.
I stood there staring at the man. He was extremely scared. The biotic strands rolled off him and the others in waves. As soon as I fire back, these people will scatter like roaches. That wouldn't be good at all.
"Calm down." I activate Lv2 1251/3500 Mental Cleansing on them. The others settled very quickly. But him not so fast. Something odd happened, one of the colonists in a strange environmental suit tensed up and start to fidget a little.
"I was hired by them to investigate, not kill innocent civilians. Why the hell are you in here anyway? Shouldn't you people be up topside with the other colonists?" This outcome is definitely different than the game. Then again this is more of an aftermath scenario. "You all should talk, and I do mean all of you about what you will do next.
The colonists started to talk amongst themselves. I took that time to try to communicate with my team. Nothing but static.
The colonist started talking amongst themselves. I took my time using observe on them all. The profiles for all of them was the same. Except for one anyway, the fidgety person.
The colonist who shot at me earlier stepped forward. From what I could tell he may have only been 23 or 22 tops. Guess he was the leader.
"Sorry about earlier. To answer why we are down here its because we heard various talks about killing all colonists who were exposed to the "Thorian Project".
"Wasn't the creature a classified project ?" 'How the hell were they exposed to it.'
"It was, but once the senior scientist tried to control it, the Queen that is it started to reach toward certain members, of the colony. "
This sent a shiver up my spine but I have no idea why. "Is it something like a genetic defect?"
"No, it is blood?" The boy said as he dropped his head.
Mr.Fidety stepped forward. The rest of the colonist waved to the side letting him get through.
"You know what I am don't you?" Fidgety said in a whispering tone.
"Your an experiment that's for sure. But you will still have all your traits of a human quite fascinating." I said before switching to letting my other self take over.
The noticeable change one could fell would be able my positive and eye color that turns to a glassy red white.
Fidgety stepped a bit to quickly and feel on his but.
"What are you?" He said as he pointed at me.
"An experiment like I said. Give me some of your blood and I will negotiate your freedom from here. If not well I can still retrieve what I need from your corpse."
After a nod from the fidgety Thorian hybrid. I took back control after that statement. I threw a vial at him to give some of his blood. After doing so he just looked around. The expression looked like he was waiting for me to do something.
"Alright let me contact my teams. Delta squad what is your location? What do you have to report?" I still haven't heard anything from them damn it.
I did receive a signal from Chari. It was a code for hostile company detected. All individuals were to proceed carefully. At that, I contacted my actual team. Well attempted to anyway. All I received was static.
"If you are trying to contact anyone a floor different from us, you won't be able to. The shaft has several shielding that prevents or chops up whatever you send." A colonist says as he holds his child.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

After a nod from the fidgety Thorian hybrid. I took back control after that statement. I threw a vial at him to give some of his blood. After doing so he just looked around. The expression looked like he was waiting for me to do something.
"Alright let me contact my teams. Delta squad what is your location? What do you have to report?" I still haven't heard anything from them damn it.
I did receive a signal from Chari. It was a code for hostile company detected. All individuals were to proceed carefully. At that, I contacted my actual team. Well attempted to anyway. All I received was static.
"If you are trying to contact anyone a floor different from us, you won't be able to. The shaft has several shielding that prevents or chops up whatever you send." A colonist says as he holds his child.
When I synced back with myself, the info of everything that has transpired flows into me. Days ago Final Fantasy wise the Mass effect World time started back up. It was not supposed to, However, whoever was messing with us choose when Galtea was resting to do so. The good news Galtea had a trap set to deal with them. A trace went out to find out those involved. Bad news they disrupted the timeline in Mass Effect. I have a few emails to send out later. Since I am planetside on Feros they will have to wait.The second consciousness I have, took over good enough and started the mission. A lot of people were surprised at my behavior. But Riku and Mia covered for me. Yeah, Mia stepped up big time apparently her and Riku, as well as Galtea, are some kind of weird sisterhood thingy going on. Alistair was listed as sick so he stayed in quarters. Reported to the Captain that he was suffering from a biotic overload due to the implant adjustment. Which is technically true the other me installed a new implant to tie him over. The influx of energy he received as a Zodiac Saint affected his body a little.The Professor I created with mana goes by the name Sophia she travels with us. The Engineer Bruno is working on fixing the ship as much as possible. They both are quiet to the others, but very social to me. The child that crashed in the lab earlier has a strong attachment to the engineer. other me did not care since it made the engineer seem more normal. Chari never came back to the lab but we exchanged messages. She is doing a lot better. The Captain and the other me have been sending messages. Mostly about medical interest. The other me sold a medical patent that awarded the crew 1.5 million credits debt free. It earned me some leeway with what I do on the ship. Also, solidfiy my crew on the ship.Back to me and the crew currently. I have time to think about what happened later. The info reveals of them. The away team consists of two groups. Alpha squad... and Delta squad.Observe: Azul Sunstrider Lv: 10 Sub-Title: Mercenary Age: 29 Total Age: 1123Specialty: SoldierExperiment Second Class: N/AMain Title: Primarch of the Argent AngelsRelations: Maldova Mercenaries, Alliance, Cerberus, Imperium, EldarStatus: Healthy, ConfusedObserve: Mia Lang Lv: 9 Sub-Title: Mercenary Age: 21 Total Age: 3Specialty: Infiltrator Second Class: AdeptMain Title: N/ARelations: Argent Angels, Maldova Mercenaries,Status: HealthyObserve: Riku Al-Bhed Lv: 10 Sub-Title: Mercenary Age: 25 Total Age: 87Specialty: Thief ???

"Fucking hell..." I said as I blinked repeatedly at them."Everything ok?" Sophia asked."Good everything is done. Let me fix the frequency." I said as I activated the final components.Both teams were gathered around an old Mako. Waiting on my signal that the cycle cleaner for our suits were done. Apparently, it has been nothing but trouble. The groundwork and the finding of absolutely nothing the last few days on the surface, took its toll."Alright gather around. These devices will alert you for any hot zone nearby. It will also cycle any toxic air to breathable air. Any main neurotoxin into manageable air. Still, use caution. Let's check out all these tunnels and stay fresh. There should still be a danger present inside." I said to everyone despite the fact this was not they're the first rodeo, and they knew the info already.After a diagnostics of all gear, everyone calms down. We went our separates ways into the back tunnels and came across an abandoned shaft."Riku check to see if that is operational still. If it isn't cut the line and set up a rappel system for a quick descent. Mia check around for salvage material and what happened. Sophia give me a hand checking out this corpse." I gave out orders before moving to the body."Not a problem boss," Riku said as she got started on her task. She moved her head up and down the sides and checked under the console. "aha, " she said as her omni tool started to glow. She also tapped something on her wrist. Pulling something off she dropped it into the shaft.I left that alone she is trained I think. Holy crap I need to check on her actual skills for this world. But in the meantime. This is more important."This guy should not be here. But then again my info is technically outdated. Let's see what he has on him. Sophia go over his vitals I would like to know what happened to his body. I will check his omni-tool. Lunabelle gather all the information you can and scrap it, if it's unusable. If the Omni-tool is salvageable I will remove it." I said while checking the gear.A few minutes there was a problem. First from Riku. Then Sophia."My drone has found something down below. There is a group of colonists trapped way down below. These people look a little green in the skin. I can't really tell from the feed. The lift is done for. The system is done it will hold up to 500 pounds tops. But I have found something else here. There is a bomb set up to the lift. It is definitely fresh considering there isn't even any dust on it. Whoever set this up, most likely haven't gone too far. They might be right ahead of us. Maybe they were trying to kill these colonists ahead of us."The only ones who know about this location would be us, and whoever hired us right?" Mia asked after a quick look at me."Don't know but. I will dismantle it now. The bomb that is. Also, I am keeping it.... to study boss. It will take a few minutes." Riku said a little chipper. "This is so fun better than being couped in the ship. Boss the Captain won't let me tinker with anything, she is so rude.""Got it Riku. Sophia what do you have for me." This was getting crazy already. Kinda wish I had a day off before this."There are traces of cellular breakdown in this Krogan. Also tampering with the Genophage as well." Sophia said surprised. "This specific Krogan before his death showed traces of the strand removed. Sir, I will extract some tissue samples this will help our research tremendously.""Dammit, I need something to give over to Exogeni to help with the finances," I said before thinking to myself a little.System Check: Intelligence 19 Wisdom 21 Imperium Lore War in effect.'What the hell is that last part. Tch no time for it now If I think about it too much I will screw something up. But at least my next decision will somewhat work out.'"Mia keep Riku covered. Once the bomb is removed and Sophia is done with her samples. Signal me when you all finish we will go from there. Sophia if you finish before Riku try to figure out what you can about the dead Krogan. In other words what killed him." I let them process that for a few seconds with no one disagreeing I continued with the next part."If things go south try to meet back with the other squad. Do not die down here understood?" Before I could continue Sophia spoke up."Wait where will you be my Lord?" Sophia didn't look up as she asked. Staying eye focus on her task."I will descend into the shaft and see what the hell is going on down there," I said as I walked and hooked myself into the rappel system and lowered myself down.While descending Mia came up to the shaft and looked down at me. I couldn't make out the expression on her face. The look in her eyes looked focus before she pulled back. Hopefully, it was a good expression. During the descent, Galtea reconnected with me.Galtea: User, how goes the mission."Well there are some green people down below me, so yeah... So possible people exposed to the Thorian or possibly controlled by it. That would be weird since I believe Shepard killed it. Don't know just yet. Attempting to make contact now. So decent I guess." I stopped and installed a quick anchor.Galtea: Better than nothing. On to other personal matters. Alma has regained her memories thanks to Alistair. It resulted in a dangerous argument between her and him that required Jaina to break apart.'Well shit. What else is there?' Well at least he can move forward with his relationship I think. 'Wait how did she break them up?'Galtea: She separated them and froze them with Ice up till there necks facing each other. In other news. Tietra is still recovering but the Emperor of mankind has given her a gift. She will join your building Legion as a Sister of Battle. All the tactics and upgrades have been provided to her. Also, the woman known as Mileuda as well. Congratulations on that front. Codis and the twins have joined under Alistair's banner. I have linked his Auxillary System with them and have explained how it will work. Basically, he is a Pseudo-User now.'Well shit. That is good.' I thought to her as I placed another anchor into the sides of the shaft. With the body upgrades this should be a piece of cake to climb and descend but... just in case I am injured. As well as the fact this may turn into an extraction mission.Galtea: Good news for you though. Your squad and Argath company all are joining you. You now have more forces. But they are far from a fantasy setting so points have been spent to bring them up to speed. I have given them the general education from this Universe as well as the training your forces would receive. You have gained enough followers for this.System: A Squad Leader: All loyal followers receive Basic Lin Kuei, Imperium Tactics & Law, as well as a second heart.Galtea: Keep in mind the Lin Kuei knowledge is at the level of just a little understanding. They have not unlocked their element yet. A mission has been generated to solve that problem. The Imperium Tactics & Law will give them the training and understanding of an Imperial Guardsman. Multiple missions have generated to solve that issue.'I am not going on those missions anytime soon am I ?' I definitely need to take a break.Galtea: No. I will space them out. Jaina does not like the environment here so she has elected to stay in your Netherworld. She has taken a liking to its environment. While there I have tasked her to train those who are magically inclined.'Makes sense. I am about to enter a possible hostile zone. What else do you have for me?' I placed the last spike and brace to jump down.Galtea: Agria has the making of a Saint. Not like the Saint from her world but from 40k. In other words, she can become like Celestine. Argath has the making of a Pseudo Primarch. Power and skill at the point that he could challenge Primarchs. You need to make a choice on which one to make. Both choices will affect their worlds and 40k.'Dammit, just make Agria a Saint. If Argath proves that he can still show compassion like before then I have no problem of that. Besides someone like Celestine is hard to make I think.Galtea: Agria has been placed in hyper conditioning. All knowledge of the Imperium and its laws are no in her head. Sections have been closed to allow adjustment as needed. Receiving upgrades a space marine would receive as well as artificial training like a sister of battle. Agria has been placed in a training simulator with the order of the Bloody Rose.'Well hot damn.' I jumped down and let the shock absorbers take the brunt of the damage. To be on the safe side I had my biotics stretch outward to stop any possible debris fall.System: Constitution Check 14No shakes or quakes. So that was good. A cloud of small dust from the ground a few little creatures running about. Have no idea what they were. Lights appeared from a small distance away. Obviously, it was the colonists."Who the hell are you?" A colonist said while he pointed his pistol at me."Well, I came here to do some cleanup. As well as secure some samples from Exogeni. They will not spend credits on this place without due reason." I said as I folded my arms and step back. What they couldn't see was that I prepared a small biotic ball in my hand. It should work as a quick deploy shield.If it isn't needed I will let it disperse into my suits shields. The other me made some crazy adjustments. Apparently, he works of the ideas I form and puts them into practice logically. That scares me a good bit. I think of some weird shit."So Exogeni sent you here to kill us all!" The colonist man in the frontman screamed as he opens fire wildly missing me and targeting the wall behind me.I stood there staring at the man. He was extremely scared. The biotic strands rolled off him and the others in waves. As soon as I fire back, these people will scatter like roaches. That wouldn't be good at all."Calm down." I activate Lv2 1251/3500 Mental Cleansing on them. The others settled very quickly. But him not so fast. Something odd happened, one of the colonists in a strange environmental suit tensed up and start to fidget a little."I was hired by them to investigate, not kill innocent civilians. Why the hell are you in here anyway? Shouldn't you people be up topside with the other colonists?" This outcome is definitely different than the game. Then again this is more of an aftermath scenario. "You all should talk, and I do mean all of you about what you will do next.The colonists started to talk amongst themselves. I took that time to try to communicate with my team. Nothing but static.The colonist started talking amongst themselves. I took my time using observe on them all. The profiles for all of them was the same. Except for one anyway, the fidgety person.The colonist who shot at me earlier stepped forward. From what I could tell he may have only been 23 or 22 tops. Guess he was the leader."Sorry about earlier. To answer why we are down here its because we heard various talks about killing all colonists who were exposed to the "Thorian Project"."Wasn't the creature a classified project ?" 'How the hell were they exposed to it.'"It was, but once the senior scientist tried to control it, the Queen that is it started to reach toward certain members, of the colony. "This sent a shiver up my spine but I have no idea why. "Is it something like a genetic defect?""No, it is blood?" The boy said as he dropped his head.Mr.Fidety stepped forward. The rest of the colonist waved to the side letting him get through."You know what I am don't you?" Fidgety said in a whispering tone."Your an experiment that's for sure. But you will still have all your traits of a human quite fascinating." I said before switching to letting my other self take over.The noticeable change one could fell would be able my positive and eye color that turns to a glassy red white.Fidgety stepped a bit to quickly and feel on his but."What are you?" He said as he pointed at me."An experiment like I said. Give me some of your blood and I will negotiate your freedom from here. If not well I can still retrieve what I need from your corpse."After a nod from the fidgety Thorian hybrid. I took back control after that statement. I threw a vial at him to give some of his blood. After doing so he just looked around. The expression looked like he was waiting for me to do something."Alright let me contact my teams. Delta squad what is your location?
