Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat.

This is the story of FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not entirely canon compliant, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your own version of Shepard. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's point of view. Rated M for swears

Commander Shepard didn't think that there would actually be intelligent life in this strange Star System that lay in Dark Space.

Reapers. That word made Commander Artemis Shepard sick to her stomach. This was it. This was the end. But, she wouldn’t allow it. She would find a way to end them, once and for all. Even if it means stepping into another world.
Shepard was one of the best Imperial Navy Commandos in service, with a stronger service record than the most hardened veterans in service even though she was only nineteen with a time in service of around two years. She was known throughout the Empire as a war hero who had saved Elysium from the Rebellion that had threatened to consume it. This was the story but was it the truth?
