Mass Effect 3

Anderson finds the radio from the gunship and waves Shepard over to cover him whilst he uses it to contact Normandy and Ashley. He just about gets out the distress signal and a message before that thing cuts out as well. Especially since more Reaper things had just turned up...

Fighting off the Reaper things was difficult - they just seemed to have a never-ending stream of them. They both run out of ammo... Then just in time, they hear what is in that moment a most welcome voice... Joker was here.

They see the Normandy, flying in, soaring strong, coming in to pick them up. Shepard tears towards it, sprinting as hard as she can. With a running jump, she makes it to the open door of the Shuttle Bay, where Ashley is waiting to help her on.

However... Admiral Anderson isn't coming. He refuses, insists he needs to stay, to lead a resistance, to help the people left behind. He also knows that it's only Commander Shepard who will ever be able to do the impossible and create an intergalactic army that will bring the Reapers to their demise. It is not he... He could never do it, and she needs to do it the same way she did before - in command.

Shepard's heart silently breaks as she walks away, seeing the destruction of that little boy she had been seeing all day... obliterated by one beam of the Reaper's laser points. Then she has to focus.

Unfortunately, the young Marine she has been left with isn't experienced enough in such matters - his previous deference and respect gone in the midst of being in a war zone - he argues with Shepard until she shoots him down.

Just then a call comes in from Admiral Hackett, who is now instead sending her straight to Mars and Liara T'Soni. Apparently, the Mars Archives have something they want, so they're on their way to get... whatever it is.

This was going to be a long fight, and now Commander Shepard steels herself for the first step in long game it will take to defeat them.
