    Summary

    By the time the first scientist vanished, Mara Venn had been covering automated warfare for eleven years, long enough to know that murder looked very different when it wore a corporate logo. A drone strike had a chain of command. A battlefield platform had procurement records. A weapons failure had victims, liability, and if the gods were feeling theatrical, a Senate hearing.

    But this was different.

    The first footage came out of the Timor Sea conflict zone, leaked through a regional aid worker whose feed was dead within seven minutes of upload. Mara caught it because she had alerts set for Faro Automated Solutions, Chariot line, autonomous swarm, biomass conversion, and twelve other phrases that made her editor’s eyes glaze over.

    Devastatingly well written. Biggest, brightest, teary-eyed bittersweet smile

    Summary

    My AU retelling of the events in ME2, with a completely new take on Cerberus, the Shadow Broker, and the Collectors. Examines the themes of what exactly constitutes death and life, the line between revenge and self-hatred, and how small amounts of light can shine in every darkness. Not a happy ending. Includes my takes on Overlord and LofSB. Rated M for language and violence.

    Even unfinished, I learned a lot from this whole AU you created and will cherish it for a long time

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I could never think about a way to write a compelling fanfic of an ARPG, but this is certainly one. Skillful writing from a narrative perspective that is difficult to execute. Liking it!
