LOG ENTRY 21.0.0

I was about to bring us on to our next mission when EDI warned that she needed to test the Reaper IFF, I decided that this would be the best time so I ordered everyone to the shuttle. I left the XO in command and told Joker to keep the Normandy in one piece. He joked around..

EMERGANCY REPORT (Joker)

Report Entry 21.1.0

This is Flight Lieutenant Jeff Moreau reporting on the Normandy. She has been taken over by Collector forces. As of right now the crew are fighting them off but I don't think we can hold them off. EDI is directing me to her System Core... She thinks she can stop them if I unhook her from her barriers... I really hope I am not the bringer of the Robotic overlords.

Anyway..  The IFF contained a Virus, it brought the collectors to us and the moment they were close shut down EVERYTHING on the ship; even the bloody coffee machines!.. Leaving me crawling through a vent as they pick at everyone.

Supplemental 21.1.1

I just unshackled her, I have to do it to save the ship.. she now  told me that she needs me to go back through the vents and down to the second level. Just as I complain about being in the vents, I made a rather good 2001 space odyssey joke but then she retorts with a "Love humans being on their knees" Joke

Not funny... at all..

Supplemental 21.1.2

I made it to engineering; they are everywhere... Barely avoided them...  She wants me to reactivate main controls, she is going to open the doors and jump us to light speed.

I told her that  this would kill all of us, but she told me no one is left.. only I am.. Damnit.. Sheppard is going to kill me.. that is if I survive this..

CO Report (Sheppard)

CO report Entry 21.2.0

Just got a message from the Normandy; she's been attacked and the crew has been taken... We are heading back now.. Damnit.. this.. this is just not right.. I knew it was too good to be true.

Supplemental 21.2.1

Just got back to the Normandy and it is as bad as I thought... Miranda is not happy but Joker did his best..

We go now... we HAVE to go now.. EDI has cleared the systems and we have upgraded the weapons, armour, kinetic barriers and everything.. we are going to be the best we can and get the crew back...

Supplemental 21.2.3

I messaged the Illusive man and reported what happened. He agreed with my suggestion to go after them.. He is going to talk to me when we are closer.. Right now we are heading for the Omega 4 relay..

Its not that hard... Find the crew, rescue them, stop the collectors, stop the reapers, come home safe and save the galaxy.. not so hard... right...
