LOG ENTRY 19.0.0
We are on our way to the dead Reaper; it is hard to think that a dead reaper had been out here and not been recovered by anyone in the history but the moment I saw the images sent by the Cerberus Team that had been arrived I began to wonder what kind of people had fought and died trying to kill it; had it been the protheans? or a race before them?
Supplemental 19.0.1
We are bringing the Normandy in to dock with the reaper now; the storms are bucking the ship side to side but the moment we passed through the Mass Effect field it all calmed down. Now we could get our sensors on the ship; we detected a geth ship attached to it, I guess we now know why the Cerberus forces had not responded.
Supplemental 19.1.0
We are making our way through the Cerberus labs built into the reaper; we found lots of logs that showed the crew slowly being indoctrinated by the very ship itself; I guess if we are only here for a few hours then it will not matter.
Supplemental 19.1.1
We have been blocked off from the Normandy from a set of Kinetic barriers; we cant get out of the Reaper Vessel from this side and the only way to shut down the shield would be to shut down the Mass Effect core keeping the ship itself in a stable orbit; the moment we shut it down it will plummet into the brown dwarf and be crushed under the intense gravity.
It was then we were attacked by Husks; probably the dead Cerberus operatives here, I would have been dead if it wasn't for a Sniper... a geth sniper... he was wearing Alliance N7 Armour; from where I was it seemed like it was my old armour... it even talked; It called me "Sheppard Commander"
Supplemental 19.1.2
We didn't have chance to catch it as we were attacked by hordes of Husks; as we pushed through the reaper remains we were met by Scions. It wasn't until we got here to just outside the Core that we managed to find the reaper IFF.
Supplemental 19.1.3
The Geth Infiltrator was there, he was fighting the husks just like us; were these ones different or was he just a different kind of Geth? maybe a broken Geth?. He went down as he tried to hack the core and the door that was holding us behind, the moment it went down we all rushed into the room and began opening fire on the Husks and the core.
Garrus went down to a hit but I pulled him to his feet and we kept on fighting until the core began to destabilise; then we had the choice... leave the Geth to die or bring it with us; Tali wanted to leave it but the feud between their races was obvious. None the less I decided to bring it aboard; this one talked and acted differently then any geth I've ever seen.
We jumped onto the Normandy as it pulled up along side the walkway; without the mass Effect field there was no gravity or atmosphere so we found it easier to jump to the ship but I would never want to do it again; not that distance... The Normandy got clear of the Reaper before it fell too far into the brown dwarf and the atmosphere and intense gravity crushed and compressed it into itself.
Supplemental 19.2.0
We put the Geth into EDI's AI core, a place where she could securely keep it and keep watch over it; I was a little sceptical about putting it in there but EDI told me that it was the best place for it.
We kept it offline but I wanted to learn from it; so I decided to bring it online. I had a soldier with me ready to destroy it if need be. I am glad I didn't... We learnt a lot from it; turns out there are two factions of Geth, the "true Geth" and the "Heretics". the Heretics were the Saren and Reaper followers; the true geth wanted to stop it.
Also turns out it was my armour it was wearing.. We had to give it a name and with its help came up with "Legion" from the phrase "We are legion"
Legion also told me about the Geth Heretic base, it had found it and had a virus that could change the Heretics back into the true geth; I told him we would head there ASAP and sort this out.
Supplemental 19.2.1
While I sat in my quarters reading up on the true Geth; Tali came up and asked to talk... she is worried about us being together again.. I comforted her and she admitted she wanted to feel our skin together, be together and share each other before the mission; I told her I would love that but only if it was safe for her; She told me "I will find a way" before leaving.
With the conversation with Tali; I checked in on Morden and asked him if I needed anything special for me and Tali; he was quite good with it and gave me some info but told me to go check with Chakawas for my own medical status.
So I headed down with the bottle she had needed. After she gave me a medical exam, we shared the bottle; she didn't want to waste it like she did the last one. We drank to the Alliance, friends, the fallen, Joker and the crew.. we drank to ... being happily drunk..
Supplemental 19.2.2
After the night of drinking and worrying for Tali; We began to link the IFF to the Normandy; EDI was running some tests so suggested I take the shuttle to the next mission.
After ACTION REPORT
- Reaper IFF installed
- Dead Reaper Destroyed
