On June 6, 2183, Normandy SR1 arrived in outer space on the planet Wormel.
The planet Wormel is located in the Hawke Galaxy in the Sentinel constellation. It is a naturally habitable planet, especially suitable for humans - you must know that the pressure here is 0.9 atmosphere, the gravity of the earth is 0.86, the oxygen content is similar to that of the earth, and the average surface temperature at the equator is 36 degrees Celsius. There are large areas of ocean and dense forest ecology on the planet - people on earth can live here without even wearing masks.
When you walk on the beach in Womel and watch the shallow water flowing through the transparent world, you may even think that this is the Maldives on the Indian Ocean.
Unfortunately, the Sentinel constellation is located in the northern half of the Milky Way, which is within the realm of the World God Star. The interstellar environment with war and high crime rates has made it impossible to carry out large-scale construction; and this planet releases a very special kind of interference electromagnetic wave, making it impossible for small communication equipment to establish a link with the buoy network.
These difficulties temporarily blocked Womel from the civilized world and turned it into a beautiful paradise star.
It seemed that apart from the occasional smugglers and drug dealers establishing a stronghold here, Wormel would be lonely forever... until Shepard received a piece of information from the Citadel Council - a team of The Salarian special infiltration force encountered trouble here. The Citadel was unable to send a fleet to the Realm Star Domain. They asked the Normandy, which "happened to be nearby", to conduct a sneak rescue...
In fact, to put it bluntly - what these politicians are most worried about is not the life and death of the special forces and the Normandie. What they are most worried about is triggering a war with the World God Star Territory! The Citadel's foreign policy has long since turned from pacifism to cynicism. As long as you can bury your head in the sand, it will never come up. No matter it is for the current World God Star Territory. It will be like this when you are still the future reaper.

Aboard the Normandy...
"For this mission, I need Ashley and..." Shepard's gaze passed over the Asari Liara, who was temporarily acting as a civilian; past the Turian Gallas and the Turian who were still seriously injured. Krogan Lex; but when Annie raised her head and looked at her, Shepard avoided her gaze and stopped at another Earthling team member. "Kayden! Others are ready to support."
"Bull*!", even though Shepard is the captain and captain and has the right to choose any team member suitable for the current mission. And Kaiden is also a Star Alliance elite. One of the first implanters of the L3 superpower amplifier, he is proficient in both superpowers and technology. is a great team player. But the krogan Lex still made a voice of dissatisfaction that anyone could understand.
Nothing else, because everyone knows that Anne is the better choice! Her combat prowess, support abilities, and vast experience. It is absolutely irreplaceable at the moment.
Hearing Lex's curse, Caiden immediately blushed. Liara was a little panicked and wanted to support Shepard, but didn't know what to do. Most of the remaining team members were silent, because they knew why Shepard did not choose Annie - the relationship between Annie and Shepard has become on the same level since the last quarrel - maybe next time... When stopping at Arcturus or the Citadel, one of them will choose to leave the Normandy. And this person is probably Anne.
"This is my order." After Shepard finished speaking, he turned around silently and left the Marine cabin. The rest of the room was silent. The cabin was filled with suffocating low pressure, and Liara, who couldn't bear it, could only follow Shepard and leave.
At the other focus of the matter, Anne lowered her head, carefully checking and preparing her equipment, as if she didn't hear anything, and no one could see the expression on her face.
"Fake... I hate all-purpose glue!" Lex realized that he had done useless work. He grabbed his shotgun with his good arm. Cursing, he pushed aside the cabins and walked towards the medical cabin. Another guy, Gallas, was injured more seriously than him. Still sitting in a wheelchair, left here by a careless Kroger.
Gallas spread his hands and made an expression of disbelief. Ashley smiled, stood up and helped him push the wheelchair.
Ever since the quarrel between Shepard and Annie, Shepard excluded Annie from the last mission when they landed on the planet Philos - and as a result, they encountered the strange ancient plant Thorian during that mission. ! As a result, Lex and Galax were seriously injured during the mission, and Shepard himself came back with wounds. If Annie hadn't arranged for a second team of support, one of the team members would probably have been killed...
What made Lex and Galax even more dissatisfied was that Anne was right - that time, during the process of killing the Thorian plant, they actually encountered the Asari again! This is a very disgusting thing - you know that the villain leader Saren is obviously a Turian, but there is not even a Turian under his men, they are all Asari Bichi... This is really disgusting .
Everyone made excuses to leave the room, leaving Annie alone in the cabin. No one wanted to rashly intervene in the affairs between the three people - because the relationship between Annie and Shepard seemed a bit like a love affair. Hate, the involvement of a third party, stepping into two different boats, cheating on a scumbag, falling in love with another person...
"Annie~" After everyone left, Shepard's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. "I want to talk to you...just the two of us." Annie heard her say softly, obviously not wanting other team members to know. If Sister Xue had just given the order as the captain, then she came now as a friend, hoping to have a private chat with Anne.
Annie walked to the door. The hatch was not soundproof, and Shepard could hear the hesitation in her steps.
Finally, Shepard heard Annie's voice saying, "Sorry, the mission is about to start, and I still need to prepare... Let's talk next time."
Sister Xue was silent. After waiting outside the door for a few minutes, she could only leave sadly.

Therefore, Shepard did not see a lot of weapons and equipment spread out in the room - from "Hydra" rocket launchers to assault rifles, from Predator pistols to carbon alloy sabers, from electric From oar grenades to shield backup batteries, plus all the other gadgets the Dawn has to offer - these weapons look like enough to take out a regiment!
While Annie casually "tortured" Shepard's little sweetheart, she installed these weapons and equipment on the racks, and stuffed everything that couldn't fit into the space waist pouch.
After completing these preparations, she opened the cabin door, observed that there was no one in the corridor, and quietly walked out...
As a price for not paying attention to the lectures, Anne only realized it after several major plots. But this time, she finally knew the progress of the matter first - this mission was definitely not just as simple as rescuing a Salarian task force.
Saren established a huge Krogan cloning base on this planet. He bypassed the Phage gene through biochemical means and prepared to mass-produce krogan soldiers for himself. All of this was accidentally discovered by the Salarian Task Force who was monitoring the movements of the krogan. Since the Citadel cannot send a fleet here, Shepard and the Salarian Task Force, which suffered heavy losses, must find a way to destroy the base on their own.
And once Saren discovers traces of the Normandy, he will definitely start his plan first - transport most of the clones to the next base, or simply start a violent attack! Either option would be disaster for Shepard and the Citadel.
They must solve this problem cleanly before Saren takes action!
In the end, they will make this plan - the Salarian task force who has the courage to sacrifice will, together with a member of the Normandy, launch an attack on the base from the front to attract the attention of Saren and Geth; and Xue Sister will sneak in secretly with another team member and plant a nuclear bomb in the core of the base...
However, the number of geth they encounter in the base will be beyond anyone's imagination! Moreover, Saren and the "Overlord" attached great importance to this base, constantly sending troops to attack, and did not give up until the last moment.
Therefore, when Shepard and his team members went through all kinds of hardships to install the nuclear bomb and summoned the "Normandy" to come to rescue, she painfully discovered that of the two team members, she could only choose to save one - Caiden. It’s still Ashley! ? (To be continued)
