"Is she ok?"
"Yes but she isn't Quarian, she's human."
"No that can't be right, she's Quarian."
I hear the distant voices and I sit up slowly, I see Jack, Tali and Shepard talking to a doctor.
"She's waking up, how are you dear?"
"I'm fine, but why are these people here?" I ask the human doctor.
"The Commander here found you after you passed out, thank goodness she was there." I see Jack and Tali'Zorah glare at Shepard.
Obviously they found me but Shepard was given the credit.
"I have to go, thank you for helping me." I try to leave the hospital but the door closes in front of me. I use a flash grenade and I jump onto the ceiling and use my cloaking to hide.
"Where did she go?"
"I don't know, but she couldn't have gotten far." As they leave I follow them and I make a break for it. I make it into a warehouse and I hide in a box with a yellow, black and gold symbol on it. I don't know why but that symbol reminds me of something, I should know this but I don't.
Something pokes me in my back and I feel a small dagger, I use my biotics to light the box and I see that the scabbard is made of sliver leather and has dragons carved on it. When I pull out the dagger it glows blue, when I slash a small about of biotics shoots out.
"A dagger that amplifies my biotic powers, awesome."
I hear voices and I quickly put the dagger away and say as still as possible.
"Ya, it's going to Cerberus. I'll make sure that the package gets to the boss safely." I feel the box lifted up and since I took my mask off I hit my head on the box and my world fades.
I wake up to voices around the box and I quickly put my mask on again. The box opens and I jump out and point the dagger at the people in front of me.
"I knew there was someone in there, but the readings said human not Quarian."
I stare at the man with a black suit smoking a cigarette and I see three guards. I shoot all of them backwards and run across the glass floor, the doors are locked. A guard tries to Graeme but I get the dagger between the cracks in his armor and power biotics through it.
He explodes and I am backed against the door with a assault rifle aimed at me.
"Don't shoot her, she could be useful."
"I won't ever work for you, Shepard doesn't trust you and I don't," I hiss. I pause, I don't know how I actually know that.
"You know Commander Shepard?" I stand down.
"I think I do, I can't really remember. But what I remember is that somehow I got abandon by my commander and I got on a planet with a dangerous sun."
He orders the guards away, "Are you a Quarian?" I shake my head.
"I am human, but I am Tala'Dawn vas Tonbay while I serve under Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay."
He looks at me with those weird eyes, "What is your actual name, and please take off the mask."
I remove the mask and my red hair falls in front of my eyes.
"Commander Ashley Dawn, at your service. Now would you explain where the hell I am?"
He laughs a little, it's a creepy laugh.
"You're on the main Cerberus station, and you my dear will be my second in command. If you want to."
I ponder, I can hide behind a Quarian mask and suit or I can lead again.
"I'll do it, but is Shepard working for you?"
"No, working with. She is stopping the collectors." I nod my head.
"Can I keep the dagger?"
"Yes, and I have to contact the Commander." I stay in the shadows as I see the commander form and I listen to the conversation.
"You sent me into a trap, you knew that it was a trap!" She says calmly to him but I know she is mad.
"We had to get that data Commander, and with the data EDI took we know that we need an IFF," he says calmly.
"Why didn't I get one when I was on that Collector ship?!"
"We just confirmed it, an if you had stayed any longer than the Normandy SR-2 would have been destroyed again."
"I still can't- who is the person with you?"
"Just an informant, no-" he looks at me and I start to glow.
"She is my second in command, you might know her." I smile an put my mask back on.
"Hello Shepard, thanks for you know..." I see Shepard, Jack and I on a planet with the dangerous sun. I am shot backwards by the order of Shepard, they leave me.
I blink and I try to stay calm, "Thanks for abandoning me Shepard, guess that you made a mistake."
"Ashley?!" She yells.
"Cut the link please," I say out loud.
"Ash-" I shake my head.
"She left me for dead, she left me for dead....." I say behind my mask.
"Dawn, Waterway will show you to your room." I see a women around her 30's walk towards me and leads me to room right next to the Illusive Man's main control room.
I receive a new message and its from unknown person, I open it and read it.
'Ashley how could you become the Illusive Man's second in command? Last I knew Shepard left you on that planet, well come back to the Normandy please. We all miss you, except the crew that didn't know you.
-Joker'
Who's Joker? I shrug my shoulders and fall asleep.
/Shepard\
I punch my pillow, how could she?!
"Shepard listen!" Kelly and Garrus scream at me.
"What?!"
I turn to them and Kelly speaks, "I looked at the video an she looked confused when you mentioned a certain part. She could've had something happen to make her loose those memories, maybe they found her and saved her!"
I glare at them, "Please just leave, I just need to think this over."
Garrus puts an arm over me and pulls me into a hug, "Shepard it'll be ok, don't worry."
I hope he's right, I really hope he's right.
"Shepard what is your first name?"
I answer,"Kathryn, you heard the VI tell us when we first found her."
"Oh ya, I forgot. Sorry."
I give him a hug and I drift off to sleep, my dreams aren't peaceful.
