WIP-(belated)Sunday

My dear @ratchsellsfornax tagged me to share my weekend-wip 😄 Well, since it is thanks to you that I even got writing again, of course I'll oblige 😁

I know I should probably finally try to write the BEGINNING of my story instead of always jumping right into the middle, but better to have written something than nothing at all

A little Snippet at the beginning of ME1 :) Not really polished yet, but I like it so far.

Great, not only had Jenkins the energy of a Puppy, he also had the attention span of one. And now his focus had shifted onto Kaidan. "Hey Lieutenant, is it true you are a Biotic?"

Kaidan sighed silently but there was no sense in lying. The first time they hit the ground Jenkins would know anyway, so better get it out of the way now.

"Yes I am" he was acutely aware of the eyes on them. People still had their reservations against Biotics, some more ridicules than others. But Jenkins clearly wasn't one of them.

"Really? So you can throw stuff around, just with your mind?!"

Kaidan wanted to dampen the Corporals enthusiasm a bit and point out the a little more complicated mechanics, but oh boy… Jenkins was basically bouncing off the walls at this point.

"And people too, right??"

"Yeaaah…" Kaidan answered, eyes narrowing. He didn't like at all where this was going.

"Can you throw me?!"

Kaidan took a deep breath, ready to set Jenkins Head straight, but he didn't even let him get a word in.

"I mean, we will be on the ground team together right? So I should know what to expect? I never worked with a Biotic before! What if you do some crazy space magic shit and I get caught off guard?" he rattled of, not once stopping for breath or giving Kaidan a chance to butt in.

"Alright alright. She the boxes back there? I'll throw you into them."

Jenkins nodded enthusiastically, to his credit keeping the "Yay!" he was clearly thinking to himself, and went into what he apparently deemed a throwable posture.

With a surge of blue Jenkins flew threw the air, crashing all but gently into the pile of boxes.

For a moment it was deathly silent in the room and Kaidans mind raced. Had he used to much force? Was Jenkins knocked out? Or worse… before he could get into motion, Jenkins popped up like a slightly disheveled Jack-in-the-Box.

"That….was AWESOME! Can we do it again?!"

Kaidan exhaled slowly, feeling like a weight had just lifted from his shoulders. Then he pulled himself together and shot Jenkins a stern look.

“Once is enough. I don't want to have to explain to our superiors that you got injured during a sparring match before our first mission!”

Sparring match, right. That's what he would be calling it, should Shepard catch wind of this and come asking why he was tossing Marines through the cargo bay.

Henry seems to have accepted that his life really can’t get any worse at this point and moves over a bit to be in the teleporter’s sphere of influence.

“’Hoping for the best’ is pretty much all we can do at this point, isn’t it…?” Terrence pulls the post-it note off of the button and throws it aside “And besides that; I’ve done worse on my own free will before.”

That surely is one of few things Henry and Terrence have in common.

Finally pressing the button causes reality to bend around most of the little boat and as the group disappears in a bright flash of light, visible from all the way back in the CCC-facility, parts of the stern and the bow remain and slowly sink beneath the waves.

Laclale wasn’t completely wrong about the teleporter sinking the boat.

Back on land, Bill has to rip the glasses off his face as the flashing alert from the integrated screen almost blinds him. There’s a new wave of alarms going off; the scanners not able to determine what happened, just that it is a big surge in chaos energy far too close to the facility.

Bill grits his teeth, looking in the vague direction of the sudden activity. “How in god’s name?”

Much farther away, Jenkins finally gets an audible alert, as do most of the other high ranked employees in the building.

Their scanners know exactly what just occurred, and after adjusting his glasses and looking at the still flashing message Jenkins looks more astonished than worried or angry. “… O’Reilly?”

The surge is so strong that even Waylon’s pendants glow a bit brighter for a few seconds and in an undetermined location a dark figure pauses and looks up at the sky. Their red eyes glow in moonlight before they flash a devious smile and melt into the darkness.

End of Act two

It’s been pretty much 3 and a half years since the intro for the second act was posted on tumblr.

More than three times the time Act one lasted.

End of Act two seems a good time to compare and celebrate some stats, isn’t it?

Bios found:

27 Bios in Act one – With seven of them being ‘special’ or ‘rare’ bios (Like Marty’s and the Thing’s)

17 Bios in Act two – With six of them being ‘special’ or ‘rare’ bios (Like Alteration’s and the teleporter)

There were no achievements to get in Act two, but you got two back in Act one.

We’ve had more than 258 asks in Act one and more than 372 in Act two.

And speaking of asks… all of my askers are special to me so thank you:

To the tumblr askers / anons:

- @laclale-farron

- Anon - ◇

- @littleangelinheart

- cuckoo-fan

To the Wattpad askers:

- Ezol13

- SilverEdgyStories

- NanukTheFirst

- Heartgirl2020

- QueerLovingMenace

To the AO3 askers:

- The Lurker

- Jtheartnerd

Putting the entirety of the blog on AO3 back in March did really put into perspective how much has piled up over the years. I will try to put a comprehensible summary in the beginning of Act three. All bios in one chapter as well (idk if tumblr is gonna let me but we’ll see).

If someone wants to go back and reread the whole story, as of now I would recommend AO3 (Without ads and not having to scroll down into oblivion)

I will keep crossposting to tumblr, Wattpad and AO3, so everyone can comment and ask where they want.

See you soon.

Henry does not seem to be happy about your opinion. He doesn’t know who sent this teleporter, but so far the only entity that gave it to him is the same one who is walking around in his body and trying to kill everyone.

The fact that you don’t know who send it doesn’t make this any better.

His signing seems annoyed, if not angry now. ‘Why don’t you press it then?’

“Your chaos level shouldn’t be above five. A higher level would be very unusual for your kind of anomaly and every anomaly above level six would be immediately vaporized when entering this building.” Jenkins explains.

“So you have the same system running here as site 18 has? The ‘Chaos purge’?” Burt had to reroute a lot of power to keep the system running back when they were hiding in the med bay and the rerouting had to be undone to activate the teleporter. It doesn’t seem like this site needs to decide between one and or the other.

So far no one has told Jenkins what exactly happened at site 18. “Was the purge active when you got there?”

“No… Burt had to activate it. Otherwise we would’ve all been killed by what looked like your employees.” Sven still looks and sounds quite upset and tries to stare the corporal down. He still didn’t get an actual answer to his question but Corporal Jenkins doesn’t seem to be too concerned with the toppat chief’s mood. He just nods to himself and writes down some more notes before answering the Quinn’s question.

“To your question about how everyone is… I will not speak for the people currently present or any individuals mental state but… I’d describe the overall state as quite ‘poor’.” He turns a few pages in his notebook and taps his pen on the paper. “The Wall has fallen, meaning an entire prison complex of hundreds of people either dead or assimilated. Our liaison lead a few survivors to a spot where we were able to pick them up. Several cities in the vicinity of the Wall are… infested with A-2009’s ‘monsters’. Their influence has spread like an infection and has affected the government and military. In hiding or in the open, A-2009 has presumably killed and assimilated people in every state. We’ve lost several field agents to these beings. If your report is accurate and the worst scenario has played out the entire staff of site 18 is dead. From the refugees here in the building we’ve received many reports about assimilations and missing person cases.” He looks at the map again. “In addition to all of that is the fact that we’re cut off from a lot of our main sources of information. The CCC has been split in two and the control over satellites and communication with sites on other continents and timelines lie with the other half. So there’s potentially much more out there that we simply don’t know yet.”

The three other men look at him and then at each other in more and, in Waylon’s case at least, less disbelief. Having finally been given a bigger picture about the magnitude of the entire situation and the known impact it had so far, Sven is more baffled than angry “It… it’s all over the country?”

“It would be foolish to suspect otherwise. My… former superior is leading the other part of the CCC. His solution to this problem is the complete annihilation of this timeline. Stopping 2009 in its tracks before it becomes too powerful for us to handle it.” Corporal Jenkins pushes a button on the table and the world map vanishes. Instead of it a long, scrolling list appears. For everyone on the other side of the table the text is backwards and the scrolling is too fast to read it. Jenkins continues “He doesn’t have the means to do so. He would need me to fulfill his plan, but I think that it’s too late for this approach. I believe we would only give them a chance to escape to another timeline. We need to contain them here, destroying this timeline will not end this.”

Hey. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays.

Wattpad bombarded me with coin offers and I forgot that there was actually an important notification buried under them…

Sorry…

“We have dealt with weirder things…” Burt looks over at the corkboard again.

Corporal Jenkins notes something down before speaking “You should all possess a similar level of chaos energy. Which should enable you to do… unusual things. I don’t know your limitations, I can only assume that you have some…”

“We currently have no technology in our possession that could keep you away, so… be our guest” Jenkins straightens his glasses and looks at one of the graphs on the corkboard “… your presence may come in handy somehow…”

“We currently have no knowledge about Stickmins’ or the Deitys’ whereabouts. They’re not here and for the moment I would like to keep it that way. This is supposed to be a safe space”

“… That was like yesterday, wasn’t it…?”, Burt crosses his arms “Feels more like 2 and a half years after all that…”

Jenkins gives him an understanding look. “We don’t completely understand the way you and… other anomalies like you are connected to this world. From what is known from other instances it can be a… very unstable connection. Time doesn’t work like it does between simple parallel timelines… You’re far more disconnected from us than that”

“So they’re right. It doesn’t exist from our point of view” Waylon, as well as Jenkins doesn’t seem to know if that’s a good thing or not.

“Even if it did”, Sven leans over the table and points at the corkboard “What would you do with it? How did it get on my station? And what did it do to Terrence?!” The Swedes’ patience is obviously wearing thin at this point. There’s been a lot happening in the span of just a few days and someone standing directly in front of him seems to know the answers for a lot of the questions he has now and had for years. And contrary to Henry, he isn’t afraid of the power the man on the other side of the table might possess.

But in turn, Corporal Jenkins isn’t afraid of an angry, possibly armed criminal either.

He has had to deal with a lot worse… “… the ‘Deity’ was contained within the jewel for centuries. At this point it is the only known vessel that could contain it without causing damage to the outside world. Every sentient vessel, like Suave and now Stickmin, only seem to enable it to cause Chaos”

“And how in gods’ name are you planning to recontain a demon that you never had any control over in the first place?!”

The Corporal glances over at Waylon “Research shows-” “’Research’ shows that we’re fucked, Jenkins”, the redhead growls “You want a list of what was needed to create that jewel? It doesn’t exist. And you sure as hell won’t find the time and people to experiment around enough to find out how to do it yourself”

Sven doesn’t look reassured by that. “That same place you said couldn’t be accessed by anyone than you? Until recently?”

“I’d rather know it in our possession… Considering that it’s not even supposed to be in one piece anymore there definitely needs to be some more research”, Jenkins looks at the world map for a moment “… Where did you find it?
