Also, the Sixpack joke is getting kinda old, especially in non-speech prose. The character's got a proper name, and it's not like she's actually acknowledged it like Dakka has hers. Besides, it's not exactly based on some unique quirk. It'd be as if a batarian came up with the terribly clever nickname of "Nose" for one particular human for no other reason than humans as a species just happening to have distinctly protruding noses.

Note: "three or four times larger" means "four or five times as large". Just saying.

Sci-fi ? Seems like the genre of this should be : permanent sexual frustration. False advertising.

Beautiful job with the damaged Reaper. I love how you left its motivations unclear rather than spoiling the mystery right away.

I've gotta stop reading and get to bed, but great story so far. :)

It's so rare to find a story that doesn't follow the Normandy, isn't about a blatant author insert or crossover, and has really enjoyable OCs.

Nice! I looked forward to the update, thanks for continuing the story.

So none of the people/Geth left on the ship had the Omni-blade mod still installed? (To cut off the rod at floor level)
Or did everyone (including however many thousand Geth programs) just forget in the panic?

Even if they couldn’t reach it at first, after she’d pulled herself up a couple of centimetres it could have been cut behind her, and the slight risk of burn would be less than the damage of pulling herself off a couple of feet of metal (since she certainly wouldn’t have been able to keep herself to exactly the same angle as the initial injury).

Little did they know that the geth was just treating the nicely to get a large crew before they begin to experiment on the to make Xenomorphs. The perfect creation by a synthetic being. I mean come on, with a name like weyland and yutani it gonnq happen. I can see the final scene now as everyone is put to sleep and lia try to escape only to have the yutani shut the door and lock it all the while having a pleasant female voice saying. “This way we can finally live with the creators in peace.”

Fade to black as lia pound on the glass door and behind her a xenomorph egg begins to open.

The end of free lancers.

Just saying it could happen...

You do know that the babe Tricia Helfer, the Cylon 6 in Battlestar Galactica and the voice of Sarah Kerrigan in the StarCraft video games was the one who was EDI's voice in Mass Effect 2 and that EDI's robot/android body in Mass Effect 3 was designed to look exactly like Tricia Helfer will look like if she was a robot/android with all her measurements!

Turians, rolling? What is this madness?

Also, though this isn't a bad plot line in and of itself, you've already had a few chapters where someone abducted Valeria's family and it ended badly for them.

First, her grandmother-in-law, now her husband AND her parents and siblings. Is there a plot further ahead where someone abducted her father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate?

And it was finally at that moment that he realized he fucked up. Big time.

"In the background, another merc charged, tackled her, and her Omni-Tool interface appeared around her arm. She slapped her hand against Valeria's helmet and fired an electrical discharge. Val let out a strangled scream, staggered away, and dropped her pistol. She grunted, shook her head, and fell to her knees. She tapped the side of her helmet, snarled, and yanked it off as the merc rushed at her, pulling the Revenant assault rifle from her back and flinging it away."

You should either call the female merc attacking Valeria by her species, give her a name, or make her a guy, because it's kinda confusing when you refer to both the merc and Valeria as she.

whose afraid of the big bad wolf...

I didn't know this was still a thing.

I think i was around chapter twenty, before this fell off my, story to read, radar.

Maybe because it involves a side-quest character?

I believe, if you at least add other name's, it will show up a little easier.

Maybe just put in O.C tag?

If having a character going full Jon Wik helps you vent I say go the whole ten yards, and some extra with it.
