Humanity grew after the Ethereal Collective's Invasion. We expanded far faster than we should have. We didn't find the Mars Ruins ahead of schedule, but we didn't need to when a species of Wanderers activates a Relay blindly into our system. History changes, as the Quarrians are the second species we meet.

A new energy signal discovered in the middle of the Reaper invasion might be just what Shepard needs... or perhaps it might doom them all. Despite ending up in unexpected places, Shepard knows what she aims to protect, because, even across Time and Space... there's always Earth.

With the destruction of the Temple Ship humanity knew peace. XCOM never forgot their motto however, 'always vigilant, always reliable'

A hero's duty never ends. A hero's journey never ceases. A hero never dies. If energy cannot be destroyed, then heroes never fall. They only move on. The Volunteer follows this creed. And in this new universe, the Volunteer will do what she does best. For she is XCOM. Always vigilant. Always reliable. Post ME1. Volunteer/Liara

Mankind survived against all odds and now they must do it again but this time much much harder and bigger. (Will fit in Marauder Shields at an appropriate time in the story) when ever I have time (not that much cause of school but during summer I will try) I will write as many chapters as possible for me to publish at any time, need reviews to help me improve and for suggestions.

After defeating the alien leader in the temple ship, Xcom operative Colonel 'Spectre' Shepard meets a foe she had never met before called the Catalyst...Includes spoiler references for both ME3 and Xcom EU.

Sacrificing his life to save earth he is sent to a new universe. Full of Xenos hate boils in his blood. Will Merc continue his Xenophobic and rip the Normandy crew apart or become a savior to humanity. Discontinued due to a better story done so now theres finally a small group of cross overs with xcom
