I spun my office chair and grinned. Today, I could finally say I achieved one of the goals I’d set since realizing I was in the Mass Effect universe. Anita’s office was now mine. Her position belonged to me as well.

First of all, sorry that it always takes so long to update. Currently, its difficult to get ideas how the story should develop without simply rehashing the canon and to create something original that is also intersting.

Normally, the day should have been uneventful for the colonists.

Furthermore, the colony wa...
