    [X] "She's an Oceanic. We should be sending human beings to the Citadel Council, not fish people!" (Oceania origin - newest member of the United Nations and thus, the System Alliance, populated by humans who have been augmented to be fully aquatic. Shark gills and teeth!)
    [X] "She fought on Khantz Lu Ge, in the VARGs. Do you know how many VARG pilots survived that campaign?" (VARG pilot career - what's a VARG? A biomorphic bipedal armored walking vehicle armed with railguns and missiles! Why that sounds like a mech. It's a mech! VARGs are the Aeon version of mechs!)
    [X] "Will the Specters take a member of the Miranda Project? Don't look at me like that Larsson, I'm not an idiot." (Project Miranda membership. Top secret branch of the Aeon Trinity, a United Nations (now System Alliance) backed private organization with the goal of humanitarian projects and unified responses to existential threat. Project Miranda agents are to the System Alliance as Special Task Groups are to the Citadel Council: Fearless, hand selected, top secret.)
    [X] "Will the Specters take a former Legionary?" (Legion membership. The Legion are the psi-active armies of the United Nations and, now, the System Alliance. Despite being only 30,000 active members strong, the Legion is widely agreed upon to be the most potent fielded by the human species. This is because 1/3rd of them are telekinetics that can make tanks explode with their fucking brains.
    [X] "She took down the Batarian slaver citadel on Torfin with a single fireteam and an artillery shell, and got ninety percent of the hostages out - human, alien, even the poor nova bastard they were rendering for parts. We've never seen a better marine." (UNMC career - badass ground combatant)
    [X] "She served with distinction in the Battle of Eden. Without her, we'd have lost the UNSd Denali with all hands when the Colony hit her with his damn spore-soldiers. She saved almost two thousand sailors that day, and that was before her talents were triggered." (UNN Commander career - you know spaceships and can command spaceships. Spaceships!)
    [X] "She's practically a fascist. She joined the Federated State's military when she was sixteen - lied on her documentations to get out of those slums. The fact she turned-coat the instant she was within five kilometers of the 5th Legion's base camp in north America is irrelevant. You can't trust Americans. Never can." (City Rat Origin - sneaky, talky, former would be revolutionary against a fascist government who faked joining the military to get out of the slums and joined the good guys as soon as possible)
    [X] "Will the Specters take a bloody freelancer?" (Freelance Psion membership. You were in militaries before. Decided to leave, and now, you're on your own. Until, of course...they dragged you back in.)
    [x] "She's a dyed in the wool Aberrant cultist, for god's sake. She was born on Eden, a planet run by Aberrants - and no, I don't care how sane they act around us, I don't trust a one of them. Officer exchange program? Bah! The whole planet should have been glassed to the mantle the instant the ISRA found the coordinates." (Edenite Origin - raised on a world colonized by superheroes who left before the majority of their kind went insane. Lived in post-scarcity luxury space communism provided by spandex clad gods for your entire life)

Nobody ever expects the giant clod hopper to be a spy!
I prefer the tank blower upper though:(.
@SparrowAlone
Sorry 😔. You missed that vote. It's time to vote for a name now.

[X] The classic "Jane"
[X] Is she a catfish? "Katra"
[X] My personal femshep name "Ohlyvya" pronounced Oh-livia. Olivia. I just figured after so much time in the future and with humans fractioning off to form and develop their own settlements. It'd be normal for things to get a little strange. It's cool. And I like the name.
 
... Aw damn it. Oh well, it's DragonCobolt, it's going to be awesome anyway.

CHAPTER ONE: Bullseye (0.1)
The SSV-sl Normandy was the first ship of her class to bear the prefix.

The System Alliance was barely twenty years old - and for the majority of those twenty years, it had been stumbling along with the motely 'separate but equal' space forces of the United Nations Navy and the Eden Self Defense Force. But with the occupation of Shanix and the end of the First Contact War, the pressures of a greater galaxy had forced the disunited strains of humanity on Earth and Eden to put aside mistrust and concerns and sign the Arcturus Accords. The Double-A had laid out a means by which the two wildly disparate governments of the United Nations and Eden could work together without flying apart, and they had pushed both the UNN and the ESDF together into the System Alliance Navy.

That didn't change the fact that...

At the end of the day.

The Normandy remained a United Nations stealth leviathan and not a truly unified ship between Earth and Eden. If anything, it had more Turian technology than Edenite - and it was hard for anyone aboard her to forget it. The hints were subtle and gross, ranging from the mostly neutral crew, to the fact they were called neutrals and not the Eden preferred nomenclature of 'baseline'...

...to the fact that as Specter Nihilus stepped onto the command bridge, the SSV-sl Normandy greeted him with a husky: "Good afternoon, Specter Nihilus."

The Turian crossed his arms over his chest and tried to hide the faint discomfort that tried to pin his mandibles back against his cheeks. "...good afternoon, Normandy," he said, then looked down at the two humans in the piloting chairs. Flight Lieutenant Monroe's fingers were splayed along the hapatic controls, adjusting a dial here, moving a piece of the UI there. He cracked a smile that Nihilus could just barely see from his position on the bridge.

"Your ships aren't so talkative, are they?" he asked.

"No," Nihilus said. "Time to the relay?"

"At current deceleration, we're looking at thirty minutes," Monroe said.

"Thirty minutes is good," Nihilus said, then inclined his head. "Continue your good work, gentlemen."

The Specter turned, and left the command bridge.

Silence hung in the air.

Jeff "Joker" Monroe leaned back in his seat with a groan. He felt every one of his joints creak and pop as he muttered. "I hate that guy."

His copilot, Lieutenant Kaiden Alenko, glanced at him and arched an eyebrow. "Nihilus just complimented you...so...you hate him?"

"He complimented me, but he acts like my baby's some trumped up SI!" Joker placed his palm on the curving edge of the cockpit. "Don't take it hard, baby."

Normandy chuckled, quietly. "I assure you, Joker, I don't take particular offense. Specters...Turians...aliens in general don't have much interactions with biotech." Joker smacked her lovingly, then glanced at Kaiden, shaking his head. "I don't get why we're taking the long-ass way to Bullseye, though."

"Orders," Kaiden said, watching the relay through the aft scopes. The immensity of it, even from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, struck him as obscene. The human race had never explored the outer planets in any detail - by the time they could, Aberrants had been ripping holes in space-time with their minds in the 21st century, and the outer planets had seemed to be uninteresting rocks and lumps of airsnow. The Aberrants and their fans had, at the time, preferred more heady options. Alpha Centauri. Proxima Centauri. Tau Ceti. They had portaled to all of them and built colonies as early as 2021. Then after the war, when the first Prometheus Chambers had been constructed and the Psi Orders had been founded, the teleporters had given them the stars without becoming petty tin pot dictators driven insane by their own powers.

The whole time humanity had been colonizing their local area of space, they had been unaware that the biggest, most efficient FLT system in the universe had been sitting right outside the orbit of Pluto. The Charon Relay.

"Orders!?" Joker brought him back to the present. "Orders, no, it's cause Turians think jump drives and teleporters are creepy." He put his hand back on the bridge's wall. "Well, I know you're a badass, Normandy."

"Thank you, Joker."

"We could jumps straight to Bullseye, but with the Relays, we're going to have to bounce through two connections and go fifty thousand light years out of alignment!" Joker said, grumping.

"My jump drive would require spending a roughly analogous length of time in the subquantum universe," Normandy said, her voice dry and analytic. "From the crew's perspective, using the relays versus using my jump drive are identical."

"Not to me, baby..."

"Do you two need a room?" Kaiden asked.

"We got a room, LT!" Then, a tiny blinking red light flared on his HUD. He tapped a com. "Commander, Nihilus is on his way to see you."

A soft grunting sound came from the console - a panting breath. Then, Shepard's voice.

"Thanks, Joker."

The line clicked off.

"...you have him tracked on the ship?" Kaiden asked.

"Specters creep me out," Joker said, nodding. "I'm just being a good orbital support for the only VARG we got."

***
Tension.

Release.

Tension.

Release.

Tension...hold it...pain, pain, pain...

Release.

Pleasure.

You sigh as endorphins flood through you, your sleek skin glistening faintly with the spritz you'd given yourself to keep from drying out. Your brown-gray skin was lined with sleek black stripes, accentuating the curve of your shoulder and back muscles - which was all that Nihilus saw as he stepped into the cargo hold of the Normandy, which doubled as the VARG hanger, and doubled as the armory, and doubled as the gymnasium when no one else was using it. Space was a premium, even on a leviathan, and everyone made sure rooms were used for as many purposes as possible. You picked up a towel and slung it over your shoulder, then turned and grinned a sharp toothed grin as you saw Nihilus' mandibles sweep out.

He was still faintly surprised, every time he saw you, wasn't he?

No one send this poor virgin down to Sudamérica, he'd fucking die just from walking down the street if he thought you were an extreme riff on the human form.

Or...

Maybe he just thought you were hot?

"Nihilus," you say, inclining your head.

"Commander," he says back, mechanically. His head jerks to the side. "If you are busy-"

"No, it's fine, I was just finishing my workout," you say, jerking to the chinup bar with a thumb. You start to tug your black top on, sighing as you do so. "We're at the relay soon?"

"Yes..." He says, quietly. "What are your thoughts on this mission? I've been meaning to check base with you since we departed from Luna."

You shrug one shoulder. "It's a shakedown cruise for the first stealth leviathan with dual drives," you say. "We're going to cruise to the furthest System Alliance colony we got to make sure we have time enough to make sure everything works, then blow up a few asteroids to make sure the coilguns work. ...why?" you ask.

"Oh, it's just...a bit odd to choose Bullseye for the destination? An odd world to colonize," Nihilus says. "Even with just a research station."

"Eh, you say colony, research station..." you shrug. "It's more of the latter than the former. And we're a curious species. We like sticking our noises in places we're not evolved for." You flash him another grin. "Oceans included."

Nihilus nods. "Bullseye was colonized before the First Contact War...before you even knew there were extant sophonts other than your own species, you were finding worlds like Bullseye - worlds stripped of all life. When was the extinction event on Bullseye?"

"A hundred and fifty thousand years ago," you say. "They predate your Protheans."

Nihilus hums softly. "Hm. Yes." He flips a mandible out, slightly. You can tell he wants to ask you something.

"Let me guess," you say, sitting down on the curved bench before the gym equipment. Nihilus looks particularly small, silhouetted against your VARG, which looms like a statue in the aft part of the cargo hold. Even curled up, she's a devastating looking weapon platform, hands clasped against her knees, shoulder mounted missile pods and forearm mounted coilguns gleaming faintly in the pale blue light of the Normandy's internal systems. "You wanna know which tank I was dipped in?"

"Beg pardon?" Nihilus asks.

You grin. "You've never served with a Psion before and you wanna know what my aptitudes are."

"I was informed Psions have seven," he says.

Good.

He thinks there are only seven.

"But when a latent is activated in a Prometheus Chamber, it activates only one of them," you say, picking up your waterbottle. You take a swig. "Right?"

---
Well? Each aptitude gets three modes - you can use each of them!

[ ] "I heard you're a biokinetic." (Modes: Adaption - surviving hostile enviroments and incoming damage | Psychomorphing - shapeshifting and enhancing physical abilities | Transmogrify - gross adjustments to human norms, claws, wings, ect)
[ ] "I heard you're a clarisentient." (Modes: Psychometry - reading objects and rooms | Psycholocation - seeing distant areas and space | Psychocognition - telling the future, dodging bullets)
[ ] "I heard you're an electrokinetic." (Modes: Electromanipulation - adjusting electrical fields in and out of human bodies | Photokinetics - becoming invisible, shooting lasers, blocking hard gamma | Technokinesis - hacking with your mind for fun and profit)
[ ] "I heard you're a psychokinetic." (Modes: Thermokinesis - fire and ice, together at last | Telekinesis - flight, both of yourself and others. Can make a tank explode with your brain | Perikinesis - the creation of force fields, which can be shaped into useful objects like swords, big hammers, small houses, whatever you can imagine)
[ ] "I heard you're a telepath." (Modes: Rapport - empathy, both reading and manipulating emotions | Mindshare - telepathic communication, unjammable and unblockable | Psychebending: The classic mind reading, mind control Alfred Bester bullshit.)
[ ] "I heard you're a teleporter." (Modes: Translocation - teleport yourself! | Transmission - teleport objects and others! | Transportal: Faster Thing Go In Faster Thing Come Out!)
[ ] "I heard you're a vitaekinetic." (Modes: Iatrosis - heal thyself and others | Augendis - this one lets you improve your own statistics, enhancing every single one of them to superhuman levels! | Algesis - unheal thy other. Like, literally, you can just make people explode into ash with this as you cause their cells to self destruct, it's fucked up.)
[ ] "I honestly hadn't heard anything, one way or the other. I came here to, uh...that is, I just wanted to talk." (You're not a Psion at ALL! You're a Psiad, a naturally occurring human psychic who doesn't need your STUPID PROMETHEIUS CHAMBER. This gets you access to every Aptitude and mode. However, you are much weaker and CANNOT COMBINE YOUR POWERS with other Psions. And when I say much weaker, I mean it - a Psiad can't get a 4th dot in most modes, keeping them at 3 dots for their entire career, and they get significantly less psi points. The upside is you can do a lil' bit of everything.)
[ ] "I honestly hadn't heard anything, one way or the other. I came here to, uh...that is, I just wanted to talk." (You are a secret Quantikinetic, a member of the Psi Order in hiding, the Chitra Bhanu. The Chitra Bhanu were purged by the other orders under suspicion of being a front for Aberrant Cultists. But you know the truth and, thanks to Project Miranda, exactly what your powers are have been kept a secret. As a Quantikinetic, you have access to the following Modes: Energetics - the manipulation of all energy with more flexibility than Photokinesis but with less precision control | Fundamentals - enhance and weaken psionic, quantum and biotic powers | Transmutation - turn dis to dat! Only works on non-physical matter.)

No quantakinetic option?

Yeah, Psiads get free access to quantikinesis!

...I was gonna include the Quantikinetic Psions as an option, but it seemed kinda...complicated and hard to explain, considering their order was rooted out and "destroyed" as part of an "anti-aberrant" purge.

Eh, fuck it, I'll add it in.

EDIT

Me: "We subtract one from eight because Nihilus doesn't know about quantikinetics...that makes..."
My brain: "SIX!!!!!!!!!!"

...teleporting mech please? I'll deploy the sad cat pictures if I need to!
 
[] "I heard you're an electrokinetic." (Modes: Electromanipulation - adjusting electrical fields in and out of human bodies | Photokinetics - becoming invisible, shooting lasers, blocking hard gamma | Technokinesis - hacking with your mind for fun and profit)

[] "I heard you're a psychokinetic." (Modes: Thermokinesis - fire and ice, together at last | Telekinesis - flight, both of yourself and others. Can make a tank explode with your brain | Perikinesis - the creation of force fields, which can be shaped into useful objects like swords, big hammers, small houses, whatever you can imagine)

[] "I heard you're a vitaekinetic." (Modes: Iatrosis - heal thyself and others | Augendis - this one lets you improve your own statistics, enhancing every single one of them to superhuman levels! | Algesis - unheal thy other. Like, literally, you can just make people explode into ash with this as you cause their cells to self destruct, it's fucked up.)

Yeah, approval voting these four cause I cannot decide. Turning a mech invisible or hacking computers with the mind is awesome to me, but blowing apart tanks, or teleporting, or straight up telling all of the cells in another living thing to just -die- are all attractive options for me. Shapeshifting is too- and would be the thing I would be voting for if we weren't a mech pilot.

There is a reason why I often insist on knowing what the rest of the group makes before making my own character- in group play I fill gaps.

[X] "I honestly hadn't heard anything, one way or the other. I came here to, uh...that is, I just wanted to talk." (You are a secret Quantikinetic, a member of the Psi Order in hiding, the Chitra Bhanu. The Chitra Bhanu were purged by the other orders under suspicion of being a front for Aberrant Cultists. But you know the truth and, thanks to Project Miranda, exactly what your powers are have been kept a secret. As a Quantikinetic, you have access to the following Modes: Energetics - the manipulation of all energy with more flexibility than Photokinesis but with less precision control | Fundamentals - enhance and weaken psionic, quantum and biotic powers | Transmutation - turn dis to dat! Only works on non-physical matter.)

Qauntakinetics are Awesome and could in the wider galaxy be written off as other things

tho in lore the aliens who contacted the founders were fucked up by qauntum fluctuations and may or may not have amplified tensions with nvoas and helped the project something sterilize novas secrelty and kill any who found out.
