The 36th Episode of the "Marauder Shields" Mass Effect Comic.

In this one... The strings of the puppeteer are cut, as a central character fights to wake up.

AFTERWORD

On the narrow path...

This episode concentrates on Shepard fighting to remember, to reignite the fire that the Reapers attempted to extinguish completely. As you might notice it also kills off the StarChild for good, assigning his face and role in the story prior to ME3's finale to a completely different backstory, different character, different meaning... Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. ;)

A full-on clarification about this arc and what it means is incoming in the next Shep/Thane episode, but those of you who like to create their own theories should already be able to piece this little puzzle together.

As our mid-season finale is finally around the corner (Episode 40!), expect the pace of the action to... Pick up significantly. ;)

GENERAL INFORMATION

This is an ongoing story providing an alternative fan-made ending to the Mass Effect trilogy, with our own game-changing maverick transforming the course of history: Marauder Shields. Be sure to start reading at episode 6. Special thanks to MichelKobayashi and my awesome team, especially our editor - AdoreeLyssa!

Hope is alive!

It never made sense to me, why the other backgrounds saw the forest in their nightmares...
You know, Shepard flew as a teenager from the slavers... SO a forest as a time of great fear made a lot of sense...
But a spacer or a urban child?

Great Episode, as usually ;)

And I love Thane a spiritual Guidance, glad he could take a little break from the shore ;)

I hope you will keep up the different versions ;)

Nice, even one little line change just seems very significant, as everything in ME should have been.

Plus, i've been meaning to ask, been writing a story and runs parallel with Shepards and i was wondering if you minded me using the Marauder Shields storyline rather than Bioware's. Because i hated Priority: Earth barring a few little bits and honestly i think it would just read much better.

Dude, that's what MScanon is for, use it to any degree you want. :D As far as I'm concerned, it's my official ME canon and the more people use it, the better it gets and the happier I get. ;)

wow... this is just... incredible. I used to think that the kid at Shepard's dreams was some kid he met in the past--that's until the last 10 mins of the game. But now, I like it now where it's is going--Mass Effect without Starbrat--oh yeah :heart: ! And I also love how you put the pieces together through the codex; can't wait to see how the pieces unravel! :)

Thanks, Blacklight-District, much appreciated! ^^ I expected the dreams to be explained or an answer for them at least implied, was dissatisfied with the fact that in the end they just seemed to be there for... y'know, drama. What's more dramatic than slow-mo, kids and autumn, right? ;) Heh. Glad you like what I'm doing here! ^^
