"Heh, reminds me of Earth. Sure, it was some sort of big industrial smog fest, but the fields that were there felt just like this. Only time I ever felt like a normal girl back then." She contemplates out loud.
-
"Earth? I don't think I've ever been there. Pretty sure it was destroyed a few years ago."
-
*She starts laughing quite a bit. She probably didn't know Earth was destroyed...right?* "You're kidding...right?" She asks, as her eyes started to dart everywhere. The next memory she had conflicted with whatever Scavenger had said.
-
"Yeah I'm pretty sure." [b]He sits up, raising his hand and typing into something that looked like a IPad. He extends the arm and on the screen you see an image of the solar system, without earth [/b] "Here's the most recent satellite imagery. You didn't know?"
-
*She stares at the picture in disbelief, before starting to hyperventilate.* *[i]She is in the Crucible. Around her, every race and ship from every corner of the galaxy is fighting for Earth, against the Reapers. She looks toward her three options. [SKIP] She ends up shooting some sort of red canister once. Faces that she still didn't recognize appear as she fires a second bullet into the canister. A picture of her love, some unknown person was shown, before she fired a final bullet into the chamber, causing it to explode.[SKIP] Red energy flows around the galaxy as the Reapers die off. On Earth, humans and Asari look on, as they cheer for life, the Reapers dying off. Around Earth, the Reapers die off, leaving Earth to be safe from the threat of destruction.* [/i] *She hugs the iPad and starts weeping.* "I...failed...to save...Earth." You could hear her mumble.
-
[b]With his other hand, he rubs her back gently [/b] "Now why on earth would it be your fault? It was destroyed in a war, deemed the Lenny Wars."
-
*She continues to weep. Perhaps if someone were to look in her head, they might know why such was happening.*
-
[b]Unfortunately, Scavenger didn't have that ability. He was a mere medic, and engineered. Unskilled at looking through people. So he just continued comforting her [/b]
-
*She looked toward Scavenger and hugged him tightly, tears stopped.* "Why...did Earth die?" She says to the doctor. She wasn't aware of these Lenny Wars.
-
"There was a huge a war, waged against the dojo that destroyed the planet it it's wake."
-
"How could a Dojo on a planet have that much impact on a planet in another system?" She asks out of confusion. She was really curious about how this came to be. "Did the fighting involve multiple systems? Did the mass relay to the Sol system activate when you were fighting?" She asked.
-
"No, the dojo was on Earth when the war occurred. It was the original dojo." [b]He looks curious [/b] "What is the mass relay?"
-
(Flashback) [i]*"Commander, we're approaching the Omega-4 relay." The pilot of a ship she now recognized said to her. "Nice and slow." She replied. [/i] (End Flashback) "Mass relays allow for anyone to jump between different sections of the galaxy. There's the Citadel, Omega... problem is, your ships need a hyperdrive that could survive the relay's power." She explains.
-
"Mass relay is basically a warp drive then?"
-
"A giant version of one in space. You'd need a hyper drive in your ship to use its full potential." She answers, " There are hundreds of these relays through the galaxy."
-
"I don't think I've ever even heard of one"
-
"Really? I mean, I don't even know if I'm in the Milky Way anymore...but didn't they create a mass relay around here? How'd you even get all these resources and stuff if you don't have any other relays that could send you supplies?" She asks, intrigued by how it was possible that all this was created without any help, or even a mass relay to gain more materials.
-
"We just used warp drives and hyperdrives"
-
"Hm...maybe if I ever get my hands on a radio, I could signal the Alliance to come and help you guys here..." she says out loud, closing her eyes to bring in all of the fresh air.
-
"Perhaps. There's a few radios out there. But what would we need help with?"
-
"To learn about the stars and all that stuff. You wouldn't believe what was outside these two planets. Maybe even the system." She replies.
-
"I've been to different galaxies. Space travel is still very much possible."
