Quarian

Chapter 1

A voice was what woke me from my unconscious state. Although it was faint, like as if it was at a distance. I groan in pain as I try to move as I soon feel like I was being grabbed and pulled somewhere.
"Keelah! He's alive!" A voice said as it sounded female. the way it sounded was like as if it was being spoken through a radio or something. I groaned in pain as I started to open my eyes to only see a star filled night sky. I slowly try to get up before being forced back down by an unseen hand.
"Stay down you bosh'tet!" The voice said again before  leaning me against a rock as I was able to see the person who owned the voice. What I saw made me want to scream in fear. A quarian stood in next to me as she was using a rock that she had forced me to lay against as cover. This is impossible I thought to myself. Quarians are only in mass effect! Wait...that means....oh shit. Something had clicked in my head as I started to make some sense of this.
"Can you hear me?" The quarian asked as she looked at me. I replied with a slow nod as I tried to speak
"y-yes I'm okay" the quarian started to look me all over like she was trying to look for something
"I don't see any suit breaches so that's a good thing" she said as he looked at me eye at eye level. Wait. Suit breaches. Does that mean I'm a quarian too? I look down at myself seeing I was wearing an enviro-suit like a quarian would wear. I raise my hands as I look at them seeing I only had three finger being the thumb, index and I think a middle finger. My legs were bowed inwards confirming that I was a quarian. My armor was mainly white while the straps, gauntlets and leg armor were red. I try to feel my face but instead feel a mask instead. I try to calm myself down as I try to comprehend the fact that I am my favorite race in mass effect. What surprised me was how I looked though, it was exactly like my multiplayer quarian only a male instead.
I looked back at the female quarian as she was busy firing a few rounds from her Avenger before getting back into cover. She turns and looks at me handing me a pistol. I took the pistol from her hand and looked at it. It was a M-6 Carnifex which was one of my favorite pistols in the mass effect universe.
"What is your name?" The quarian asked me this as she made me look at her 'face' I tried to think of a quarian name knowing my name won't work. I start thinking of my multiplayer quarian's name and get an idea
"N-Nito. W-what's going on?" I ask as I look around scared. The sight made me terrified of my situation as I saw quarians retreating into shuttles as there was a couple explosions killing some of them. The female speaks up as i look back at her.
"Well Nito, we're retreating until I noticed you on the ground. What were you doing" she asked me this question and I had came up with a quick story for this. Thank you sweet lies.
"I had collapse there. I don't know how long I was out." I smile under the mask knowing she can't see it as she fires a fer more rounds over the rock.
"Okay then Nito. You see that shuttle? I nod as I look at a dull grey colored shuttle. A couple quarians were firing from the side door at what I would assume would be geth troops.
"Run to it when I say go." I nod again as I get up in pain while staying low. She started firing rapidly at whatever was attacking us as she screamed "GO!"
I quickly got up and painfully started running to the shuttle seeing some rounds fly by me hitting the shuttle. It felt odd that I was able to run so naturally. I soon reach it and quickly climb inside and look back to see if the female quarian was following. She was indeed following as she ran to the shuttle while being shot at as well.
"Here take this!" Someone shoved a M-3 Predator pistol into my hands. I look at it surprised before looking at who handed it to me surprised to see a human alliance soldier.
"W-what do you want me to do with this?" I asked as I look back at the pistol examining it. It had a full thermal clip in it which meant I have twelve shots before I need a new one.
"Provide covering fire." The alliance soldier began firing back at the dust cloud. I sighed before taking aim and pulled the trigger. The recoil on the pistol surprised me by having a low recoil allowing me easy aim. This all feels too natural like I've done this before. I thought to myself. I continued firing until the pistol started beeping, but by this time the female quarian had finally arrived at the shuttle and was climbing inside. The shuttle door closed as i could feel the shuttle starting to take off. I sat down as i try to collect my thoughts on the situation.
Someone had put their hand on my shoulder and i looked up to see a salarian dressed in black armor with a white stripe going down the right arm.
"uninjured, scared, confused, not part of the squad, dressed in a different color. Different squad maybe?" he asked as i just looked at him suprised before shaking my head.
"interesting..." the salarian was pushed aside by the female quarian "Will you leave him alone! It's obvious that he's scared right now!" She spoke angrily in order to express her anger before sitting next to me. "Sorry about him. He's a bit talkative and...weird...." She sighs before looking over at me. "I'm Rora'Raegar vas Rako." Her voice had a hint of pride in it as she spoke her name. "So Nito, what's your full name?" I look a her surprised by the question having not thinking that far ahead in my name. Ah fuck it. I'm already this far deep. I thought to myself as I shifted a bit to get comfortable. "I-I'm Nito'Xos vas Rako...." I try to sound as serious as possible as I look away from Rora. "Your from the Rako as well? I wonder why I didn't recognize you" oh shit. "T-that's because I always tend to stay secluded from everyone else on the ship. I just never felt like I belonged." I look around wanting to change the subject so bad. "W-where are we going?"
"The Normandy." This time the alliance soldier spoke up. I looked over at him to see him staring at me. In all honesty I was excited and scared to hear we were headed to the Normandy. "And I'm sure the commander will want to talk to you." With those words said, I felt my blood run cold as I had forgotten about Shepard. "O-Okay...." I said nervously as I looked at the ground.  In one sudden moment the shuttle had stopped as a voice came over the intercom. "Alrighty ladies and gentlemen. We have now arrived at the destination, please watch you step as you exit." The shuttle doors open as Rora gets up, holding a hand out to me. I gladly take it and get up before looking at her "Don't worry, you'll be fine." She puts her hand on my shoulder as she speaks in a calm reassuring tone. I nod as I follow the three off the shuttle.
