who. everyone!
what. entering omega.
where. landing pads
when. today
warnings. none for now

You’re not sure how it happened.

A minute ago, you had somewhere to go, someplace to be. Maybe something important to do, or maybe you were just going out to buy groceries. Whatever it was, it doesn’t matter anymore.

You’re in some kind of transport -- a shuttle, given the turbulence and the sounds outside. You’re surrounded by strangers, some of whom might not even be the same species you are. There’s no point in asking. They don’t know how they got here either. The cockpit’s blocked off, like someone forgot to put in a door, and not even a glance at your omni-tool -- a holographic interface accessible by merely tapping the sensor on your left arm -- is any help.

You’ve only got a minute or so before the shuttle starts descending. There aren’t any windows -- this doesn’t look like a shuttle meant for long trips. When it finally touches down, the doors open automatically.

Before you are landing pads, abandoned equipment scattered about. There are other shuttles landing, and whether you like it or not, you’re going to have to get off before yours dumps you out the door. Turn around, and you’re met with a hazy skyline, only half the buildings seem to be coming from above.

Welcome to Omega.

You’re free to expand past the landing area, but please start all threads here. Please remember that your character will not have housing until Aria makes a post granting it; it’ll be on

outsiders and linked here when it goes up.

[ Whoa, whoa... he notices that little movement. He's trained to notice little movements like that, so he takes a step back and lifts his hands, palms out towards Liara. ]

Maybe you hit your head on the way out of the shuttle, because I know I sure as hell didn't.

Shepard. Commander of the Normandy. Dug your ass out of those ruins on Therum, remember?

I didn't hit my head and there's not a chance you can be Shepard, Shepard's a woman.

[But Liara will pause for a moment and you can almost see it dawn on her face. Especially after the conversation she's had with Jack about how much is screwed up and how people are coming from weird places.]

This...makes very little sense.

[ The hell did she just say? Did she just call him a woman? Or... what?

He looks confused, very confused. And then slightly annoyed. ]

That's an understatement. As far as I know, I've always been like this, and you're telling me that I'm missing a few curves.

[She'll sigh and try to clarify what she now knows, which she knows is going to sound crazy. holding her hands out to try to calm him down before he shoots her if he's anything like her Shepard.]

No, I'm sorry. But what it seems is that not all of us are from the same...universe, does that make sense? I distinctly remember Shepard being a woman and when I talked with Jack not long ago she asked me about some strange place called Abax.

...I must sound like I'm insane.

[ She confirms at least one thing there, that she's not the only familiar person here on Omega. He makes a mental note to find Jack soon and then gives her a look. ]

... You sure you didn't hit your head?

I can assure you I did not hit my head.

[She'll just watch him a moment, trying to sort all of this out.]

If you are Shepard, what was the last thing you remember happening?

[ At least she's not going for her pistol any longer, so he'll relax a bit and fold his arms over his chest. ]

Cronos Station, and then to the closest relay to make our way back to Earth to finish this war one way or the other.

Cronos station, then Earth.

Last I remember we were on our way to Horizon after leaving Thessia.

Horizon?

[ That had already happened. She mentioned different universes, and even though Shepard wasn't a scientist, he was familiar with alternate universe theories. He just didn't buy too much into it since it never really affected him directly until now. ]

So you're saying...?

[He leaves it open-ended because saying it out loud might make him start believing he's the insane one. ]

As much as it sounds completely insane, were from alternate universes of each other.

[She'll just stand there rather awkwardly because she's pretty sure if he didn't think she was crazy earlier that she certainly was now.]

But from the sounds of it not too far apart in the grand scheme of things.

[Yeah, it still sounds insane, but he shakes his head a few times.]

Alright. Assuming that's true, that still doesn't explain why we're here on Omega.

No, I had a theory but it sounds just as stupid as the alternate universe one.

Mostly I figured the reapers were to blame, trying to misalign the relays so we're effectively stuck. But that's merely a theory.

It's better than we've got so far.

[And it just makes Shepard a little more pissed than he already was since he doesn't have time to sit around here if the rest of the fleet is on its way to Earth.]

And it just gives me another reason to shove my boot up their metallic asses.

[Well at least some things don't change when it comes to Renegade Shepards.]

I'm sure this is just a mix up and we'll be able to sort some things out soon enough. But before that we'll need to talk with Aria and see if she knows what's going on.

[He thumbs over his shoulder at some of the mercs guarding the exit.]

We should find the rest of the crew and then go see about breaking the one rule of Omega.

It's not your best plan but it's probably for the best right now. I'm sure Aria would love to see you again.

I'm sure she'll change her mind.

If there's anyone that could convince her it'd be you. She's difficult to reason with on a good day.

[Not that she's speaking from experience or anything.]

I didn't plan on using reason.

[A shrug as he checks the Shuriken on his hip.]

Besides, you've never seen me on a bad day.

I've seen the Shepard I know on a bad day. I have a healthy respect of your temper.

[Remember that one guy who got pushed out a skyscraper window? Yeah she heard about that.]

[She finally gets a smirk out of him.]

Good to know some things are the same. Have you seen anyone else other than Jack?

Jack and Thane are here, I also saw Mordin briefly. I'm not too sure who else might be here, there are still people unloading from the shuttles.

Thane and Mordin?

[... Nah.]

It...came as a surprise to me as well, but yes.

[No offense to Liara, but he'll have to believe it when he sees it, especially when he was there for both of their deaths.]

Let's... split up and round up our people. At least our omni-tools are working fine. We can keep in touch that way.
