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

P.S. This episode was supposed to be published yesterday, but... Life got in the way. And yes, it is intentionally paced to be a slower episode, with a bit more text...

P.S.3. Help me spread this series around - retweet, send out links, share this with your friends and post it on your facebook wall! If you can - send a tip about this comic to your favorite gaming media!

Wintermute.
I always thought Mary-France Tessier was nuts, which shortened her life-span, while she was just an undercover Salarian. Even explains, why she forbid to take pictures of herself - she was afraid somebody would notice traces of plastic surgery, suspect a fake and start tracing her DNA. The truth would put the whole STG operation on Earth in jeopardy.
And the When All Changed event also seems less mysterious. Wintermute didn't get it, but that "something" from "Alpha Centauri" was the Salvia. It found him and made an attempt on him, before he could read its specs and report them to the STG. Or, perhaps, it was the Geth Collective's unsuccefful attempt of a handshake (after all, anything Wintermute or Neuromancer encountered before was based on the same programming they were, and trying to analyze the Geth Collective, they could've executed portions of its code to understand its behavior... which could, in turn, turn out to be a big mistake, for the geth could get out of the sandbox and merge with whatever the new AI was at the moment, giving it some Geth traits, multipersoning included). Hell, it could've even been the Reapers, trying to get rid of a potentionally fierce opponent. Anyway, before any of that succeeded, he managed to save several backups.
"The best among the things you people came up to stand against the darkness..." The only question is - what the hell was Wintermute (or whatever he became) doing, when the shit hit the fan and rays hit London.
