Quick question, was Yinari able to leave behind some sort of message, and if she did, did the organization find it?

Neat keep it up

I am honestly blown away by how different this is but at the same time well thought out and detailed.

Thought that Humanity might just ask the Geth for help

Hope to see Budi again…

Either you write it "Normandie" as in French or "Normandy" as in English, but WTF IS "NORMAUNDIE"

Noice

So glad to see I’m not the only one who thought up plasma radiators…..hell most people don’t even address thermal management at all

This story is more ominous and terrifying than the original, really good job!
Can't wait to get more! :)

Thanks for the chapter.
Just a "minor" detail, if you wanted to use the French name for the Normandy the correct translation would be : Normandie. Normaundie is technically correct in the old regional dialect (that nobody but a few of the older generations speak anymore) but it wouldn't be used for naming a military vessel.

Great chapter! Very ominous about the entity awakening! Can’t wait for more!

Interesting chapter, well written and i can't wait for more! Thanks again!

Interesting.

What I really love about this fanfic is that it shows the significant flaws in the Citadel Council's government and society without demonizing any specific race.

The issue of Asari dominance and manipulation is shown without painting all Asari as evil witches/space elves.

Even the Batarians are shown as individuals rather than being grouped up as the generic "race of evil bastards". We see how their authoritarian system (including secret police like the Dinlat) have crippled their potential and sent their society down a dark path.
As a side note, I view the Batarians not as an inherently evil race, but as a race who simply took the wrong turn in history. Imagine what humanity would be like if the Axis Powers won WW2 and came to dominate the world (such a victory was impossible for many reasons, but that's beyond the scope of my comment). That is how I view the Batarians. I think their version of the Axis Powers won.

Humanity is shown as subverting the existing order in unique ways (such as defeating a stronger, more established foe and getting races like the Elcor on their side) without being overpowered. We see that Humanity needs allies to survive and accomplish its goals, even if they are as insignificant as the Elcor who believe in fighting for what's right, a Volus businessman who wants to avenge his son, and a gas giant system that has the terrible luck of bordering this whole mess.

Most other fanfics fail to do this. They lean too heavily into the "planet of hats" trope and HFY "Humanity is superior because it is" trope.

For these reasons, this is my favorite Mass Effect fanfiction. I will eagerly look forward to the next update.

This story is insane, the shear amount of players on the stage makes for a great and intriguing read, can’t wait for more!
