Harry's New Game Plus Vol 2 by kurokitsune028

Chapter 46

Kaidan seemed focused on thinking about what Harry just said, and both the Commander and Harry let him take a bit of time to think, but Shepard was curious about what Kaidan had said about BAat so he decided to ask "what did they teach you in this BAat?".

Kaidan snapped out of it and looked up to Shepard, he then began to explain "Biotic Accimation and Temperance... didn't last past the airlock, to the kids they hauled in, it was Brain Camp".

Kaidan suddenly stopped and the shook his head "sorry 'hauled in' is unkind, we were 'encouraged to commit to an evaluation of our abilities, so an understanding of Biotics could be compiled'...

There are worse results of 'accidental exposure to element zero in the womb, beats the brain tumors some kids grew up with".

Harry raised an eyebrow and then frowned "this is giving me some mayor bad vibes... you don't think it was accidental, do you?".

Kaidan looked down "my mother was downwind of transport crash, it was before there were human Biotics, a little after the discovery of the Martian Ruins.

It only gets iffy around 63 when conatix was running out of first gen subjects, until they'd relied on accidentals.

Bunch of guys in suits showed up at your door after school, next thing you know, you're out on Jump Zero".

Harry narrowed his eyes "yeah... that definitely doesn't sound accidental... what is a Biotic anyways? and why were they very interested in them?".

Shepard flinched a bit "damn, I completely forgot to explain that to you Harry, I'm sorry, I really should have told you about Biotics a while a go".

Harry smiled at Shepard "it's fine, you've been very busy with everything going on, but how about you tell me about Biotics now?".

Shepard nodded and immediately began to explain as best as he could "alright, Biotics is the ability of some lifeforms to create mass effect fields using element zero nodules embedded in body tissues.

These powers are both accessed and augmented by using bio-amps, Biotic individuals can knock enemies over from a distance, lift them into the air, generate gravitational vortices to tear obstacles or enemies apart, or create protective barriers.

Like Kaidan just explained, human Biotics are something somewhat recent, but there has been Biotics in the Galaxy before, for example, all Asari are naturally biotic from birth, though I heard not all choose to develop their abilities.

Biotics of other species are individuals who were exposed to dust-form element zero, or colloquially, "eezo", in womb and subsequently developed eezo nodules throughout their nervous systems.

These nodules can generate mass effect fields when energized by electrical impulses from the brain".

Harry hummed "it sounds like Space and Gravity manipulation, you said that humans can become a Biotic with exposure of Eezo? 'I think you call it' while in the womb right?".

Shepard nodded, but Kaidan was the one who explained further "yes, but its not guaranteed, there's a chance nothing happens or the children develop tumors... that's isn't pretty".

Shepard nodded "though even if nothing happens at birth, some of the exposed children might develop Biotics as they reach their teens or with futher exposure to Eezo".
