[3rd person Pov]

Anderson: "How bad is it?" He asks as the crew on the ship are on edge

Admiral hackett: "Bad. We just lost contact with two of our deep space outposts. There's something massive on the long range scanners" he answers Anderson

Anderson: "Is this what Shepard warned us about?" He asks as the crew continues to stress

Admiral Hackett: "I'd stake my life on it" he replies grimly

Anderson: "How long do we have?" He asks

Admiral Hackett: "Not long. I've sent word. The fleets are mobilizing" he says as multiple different alliance ship are seen ready to defend earth

Anderson: "God help us all" he says grimly

In 2157, humanity discovered it was not alone in the universe

Thirty years later, they found a peaceful place among dozens of galactic species. But this idyllic future is overshadowed by a dark past: Reapers, a sentient race of machine responsible for cleansing the galaxy of all organic live every 50,000 years, are about to return. The leaders of the galaxy are paralyzed by indecision, unable to accept the legend of the reapers as fact. But one soldier has seen the legend come to life.

And now, the fate of the galaxy depends on her

[Jane Pov]

Looking out the window from my room, I can see civilians enjoying their lives without a care in the world. Seeing this, it's hard to believe the reapers are even a threat. I let myself smile a little and grab the framed photo on my desk of my wedding with Y/n brush my finger over it, missing my moron. I can't dwell for long as the door opens revealing lieutenant James Vega who salutes me

James: "Commander" he salutes

Jane: "You're not supposed to call me that anymore, James" I say with a little humour and put down my photo

James: "Not supposed to salute you, either... We gotta go. The defence committee wants to see you" he says and I raise my eyebrows curious to what they'd want

Jane: "Sounds important" I say and look at the photo one last time and jog out and nearly bump into someone and I see they're all on Edge

Jane: "What's going on?" I ask James after catching up to him

James: "Couldn't say. Just told me they needed you... now" he replies

I soon see Admiral Anderson making his way over.

Jane: "Anderson" I greet with a nod

James: "Admiral" he greets him with a salute

Anderson: "You look good, Shepard.  Maybe a little soft around the edges" he jokes as we make way to the committee by nudging my stomach "How you holding up since being relieved from duty?" He asks me
