Mass effect Demi-humas

Chapter 5

Anderson sat at his desk reading over some of the latest reports. Nothing was out of the ordinary, a few pirate raids, Battarian attacks and merc attacks. Nothing new and, for the most part, beaten off. Even after 30 years of being on the galactic stage, the other races couldn't figure out how to deal with the demi-humans. It was kind of funny in a way. When demi-humans first came out, humans didn't know how to deal with them despite their natural skills.

There was plenty of records about Romans, Egyptians, Chinese and more arguing how to use and deal with demi-humans. It took humans over 1000 years to figure out how to deal with them. Granted it wasn't always pretty, but it showed that they could be united. Sighing with a smile he just continued to read the rest of the reports. A beeping sound then met his ear, someone was calling him.

He clicked on the communications option and Trevos and Valern came up on his screen. "Councillors," he said with some surprise. "What can I help you with?"

"We are a little concerned with the report we go from the Normandy," Valern said. "It seems that it was signed by XO Presley and not the Commander,"

Anderson frowned before remembering a message he got. "One moment," he said as he opened up his omni-tool.

It didn't take him long to find the email and read it. His eyes widened slightly as she read.

"Is there a problem Captain?" Trevos asked noticing his reaction.

"It would appear that the commander had a relapse," he said reading the email.

"Of what?" Valern asked with concern in his voice.

Anderson closed his omni-tool and turned to face the screen. "As you know, the commander underwent an illegal procedure to remove her demi-human genes. Unwilling, I might add. This caused major mental trauma requiring her to need a lot of mental help. It seems this trauma came back in a big way,"

That got their attention with even more concern of their faces. "This is problematic," Valern said. "If the commander is likely to relapse, then we may have to revoke her Spectre status,"

"While I agree," Trevos added. "She has got a long and reputable military career. If she was likely to relapse, I would have thought that being in the military would have caused that,"

Anderson just nodded. "I agree with that assessment councillor," he said. "According to the doctor, Liara and Shepard tried to mind meld with each other. That had an effect on her, making her relapse. And she said that Liara is not one of them," that made Trevos nod with visible relief.

"That's good to hear, I assume that they are working on helping her out," she the said with a hopeful voice.

"Yes, they are looking into the matter and have requested any research about relating do chimeraic minotaurs. I think they are trying to cover all bases in trying to help here. I'll keep you informed," he said before cutting the link.

He sighed before getting for some coffee. This was going to be a long day.

OOOOO

Shepard lay in the bed still cowing in the foetal position. The trauma she had when in the hands of the Foundation must have been tremendous. Zenna's strength of will was amazing to behold. She made it though training, N7 training, hostage situations and even losing her squad some things that would have made most people break. But she didn't, each time she pulled through though will.

The resurfacing of her memories however seemed to be more traumatic to her than her training, or losing her squad. Something about it hit harder than anything else that made her like this. Dr Chackwas assumed that it had something to do with minotaur psychology. Strong body equals a strong mind, she had heard this philosophy before but never understood it. Minotaurs prided strength above all else, even the females were muscular. It was probably this that made her like this, she thinks that she has a weak mind and so can do nothing but cower in fear.
