Nexus Effect

Ch.52

“I don’t understand why you let her go.” Wrex grumbled as we rode in the Hammerhead with the cargo stuffed with droid scrap and blasters. The T-1 was also riding with us with his wrists shackled together. That wouldn’t stop him if he really wanted to escape, but it was the symbolism more than anything.

We’d also recovered the last two members of the ONI team. Both of them were found unconscious since Liara’s mother knocked them both out. The female armored dragon was leaning on Wrex’s shoulder while the male armored dragon was leaning against his sister.

“Because it would’ve been wrong to kill her. She knows the mistakes of her ancestors. Hopefully with how fast Rachni reproduce, she’ll even be able to help us fight the Reapers.” Commander Shepard sternly declared from the pilot seat.

“Like the one sitting here?” I grumbled and Liara squeezed my shoulder, but I shrugged away from her comforting touch.

“Battle Maiden. You are not a monster. I’ve killed enough of them to know.” Wrex growled and the T-1 visibly scanned me.

“Mixed results. Chassis is unique, but the data signature is similar, if vaguely.” The T-1 informed me and I sighed despondently.

“Nora. Even if, somehow, you are a Reaper, you don’t want to wipe out all sapient life, do you?” Liara questioned rhetorically and I huffed as I sulked.

“Sweetie, I will park this IFV and snuggle you if you don’t stop it.” Penny threatened and I huffed as I leaned against Liara, letting the touchy-feely asari hug me.

“Dear, if you were a Reaper, I think I’d know.” Benezia declared from next to Wrex. She, like the T-1, was in shackles. However, she also had a collar to suppress her biotic abilities. She surrendered to us willingly after the Queen was freed.

“Leeroy~ Jenkins~!” Bellowed a battlecry before an AAT blew up and a rat hit the hood of the Hammerhead. “Hahaha! Yes, burn!”

“Wait, what just happened? I think I had a vivid hallucination of a rat-man landing on the hood of the Hammerhead.” I shook myself, the rat wasn’t there, there was no exploded vehicle that had appeared in the blizzard out of nowhere. In fact, the blizzard had died down by now.

“...As the one with a few degrees in psychology, I recommend you get plenty of rest and have someone with you at all times for the near future.” Liara stated and everyone agreed. Well, I’m not going to say no after that spoopy vision.

“Die droids!” The rat returned and I noticed I was looking from orbit for a moment, then I was on the ground with the rat again, trying to kill it with the hands of an HK-50.

“Y-yeah. I need to lie down. Wake me when we’re back on the Normandy please.” ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’ [Error] ...Fucking excuse me?! Well fine, activate Sleep Mode! [Error] ...O-oh no. Please let me enter some resting state. [Update Required] Huh? Another one? Oh, wait, this is a new chassis, of course my software might need compatibility tuning. [Affirmative] Alright, get to work on...that...I can understand you much better now.

“Does she often stare off into the middle-distance like that?” Benezia asked us all as I canted with the Reaper Update Module Executable, which didn’t hurt to interact with like before and I could more clearly understand it.

“Yeah, but even when distracted she’s often on her game.” Wrex replied and I flipped him off. Which, with three-fingered hands, is even more effective, because my pointer finger is also my rude-gesture finger.

[Update Compiled, Reset To Install]

“I’m going to be shutting down now. Sorry if my fat ass is heavy if you can’t wake me.” I tightened my crash webbing and manually triggered shutdown.

“Garble, who is he exactly and what is that red mark?” Chrys questioned as she gestured to the lieutenant as he paced back and forth in the cargo hold.

“Sorry, I can’t tell you his name, but that red mark belongs to his father.” Garble grumbled and looked past Chrys at the Cat-Kut. “I’m guessing nobody told them and none of us are uttering a single piece of information about them?”

“Nope. ONI was very explicit regarding the Doom Marines and their involvement throughout the Empire’s history~.” Martra declared with a rumbling purr.

“Doom Marines? I’ve seen it pop up in some of the Empire’s major conflicts and their elite super-soldiers, but nothing actually about the Doom Marines.” Chrys noted as she searched through her archive for any more leads on these mysterious beings.

“Somebody called for me?” A disembodied male voice rang out in the cargo hold.

“L-Lord Berserker. I thought you weren’t coming back?” Garble stuttered in shock at hearing one of his god’s voices.

“Well, we sorted things out by exposing the corrupt attempts at controlling us to Empress Urta. We’ve retained our autonomy and a bunch of people are fucked.” Berserker answered bluntly.

“That is good to hear, father. If anyone else in ONI tried to act like I had to obey orders, I was about to break some legs.” The lieutenant commented with audible relief.

“Atta boy!” Berserker praised the person who turns out to be his son with pride.

“Uh, excuse me, could someone explain? I was born in an Imperial colony, but I have no clue what you’re talking about.” Chrys asked with a deadpan expression.

“Who the fuck are you and why should I care?” Berserker bluntly demanded with about as much heat as a warm breeze. He was clearly still in a good mood.

“I’m Chrysanthemum Willow; a synthetic hybrid of Geth and Changeling, the daughter of Ambassador Marrow Willow and Nora’Feell. It’s nice to meet you.” Chrys introduced herself.

“Nice to meet you, but I think I’ve read about your mom. She’s the Displaced for this galaxy. A shame she’s replaced Legion, he was one of my favorite characters of Mass Effect.” Berserker said before another voice called out to him. “I better get back, the Empress has ordered an emergency meeting within the Senate to discuss the illegal actions taken against us. Berserker out!”

“Aw, I wanted to learn more about him.” Chrys pouted with a look at the unnamed son of War.

“You will, since if he’s back in our dimension, news will spread about him soon enough.” Martra giggled as her tail swished around.

“With what my father has told us, it’ll be impossible to keep quiet and the Milky Way will want answers about them.” The lieutenant said with a shake of his head in annoyance while Garble and Martra nodded in agreement.

“Alright then. So, you’re his son, huh? You’ve gotta have some fun stories to tell. I know I’ve got some fun ones from both my mom and dad’s adventures.” Chrys probed the armored dragon, who proudly puffed out his chest and made the seams of his armor creak.

“Hah! Just a few are long enough to be books! If you’re so eager, let me first tell you of the Doom Slayer! Ahem. In the First Age, in the First Battle, when the shadows first lengthened...”

Boot-up Sequence Complete, Hello World!

“Mm~.” I awoke with a start to the feeling of someone kissing me and I reciprocated before we parted. Damn, Tali is a beautiful young woman. “Hey.”

“Hey. How are you doing?” Tali asked tenderly as she traced her fingers in my scalp, the young woman seems to have taken to wearing casual clothes when not on missions. Aside from her purple skin, she could be mistaken for a human crewmember in that plain military outfit.

“I’m good, but…” I’m a Reaper…

“I heard. Penny brought us up to speed on that. Benezia, who is more than willing to help us, told us to be on the lookout for signs of ‘Indoctrination’ in regards to you. She says Sovereign, a ship-sized Reaper, brainwashed organics simply by proximity.” Tali said as she played with my hair, her other hand grasped and caressed one of my own. I still can’t believe how comforting these gestures are.

“Then you all should stay away. Space me near a black hole or something…” I closed my eyes and then gasped when Tali suddenly smacked me! “T-Tali?” I withdrew into the mattress at the apoplectic fury on her otherwise beautiful face.

“Don’t you dare say something like that again!” Tali snarled and hugged me tightly, nuzzling her cheek against mine. She didn’t say anything more, but I took a choked sob of a breath before wrapping my arms around her as she gently rocked me.

“Sorry.” I said before seeing images of the Citadel through what must be security cameras. Wait...I know these feeds. My data-bugs. H-how am I seeing this? From so far away at that? How has C-Sec not found those bugs by now without me altering their code semi-frequently?

“Hm...” Tali sighed while I felt like I was switching feeds to sectors I never visited in the Citadel and...that's Councilor Tevos in the shower. Am I linked right into the Citadel mainframe? Why do the Council have cameras in-oh my. “Well, you’re getting a bit frisky~.” I just noticed I’m squeezing Tali’s perfect ass.

“Councilors Sparatus and Tevos are a couple.” I said with a flush on my cheeks as the personal camera, set up by Sparatus or Tevos I don’t know, recorded them making a porn video. I, uh, um. I’m making a copy of this. For, uh, blackmail! Yeah, for blackmail...totally for blackmail.

“What?” Tali asked before I switched again to a room that viewed a space that could not be seen by any organic, because it was the final choice room of ME3. I’m viewing the Crucible! Maybe I can-.

[Query] I tried to back out frantically, but it suddenly snagged me by my very code! [Query] P-please! Let me go! [Query] A-a-[Answer] [Acknowledged] The moment it let me go I retreated, shored up my firewalls, ignored the connections to the Crucible and damn well would not touch it until I have a way to kill an ancient VI-dumb super-AI without getting lobotomized.

“Spark?” Tali asked-spark? Is that her pet name for me? Aw, it’s cute! I love it.

“The kid is basically a VI.” I groaned at realizing what was really controlling the Reapers. The Leviathans need to die. They put a baby in control of the galaxy and gave it a gun to point at the head of every Sapient. Its base code is to ‘make organics not die by their creations’. How vague can you be? No wonder it went off the reservation!

“What kid?” Tali questioned as she snuggled me.

“The ‘AI’ that started all of this apparently. I’m in the Citadel’s systems, even from here. If I needed proof that I’m a Reaper, I have it because when I told it that I am one, it let me go.” I muttered and rubbed my stomach. Reapers have a core composed of the distilled DNA of the species they used to make it. I don’t have that. What makes me different from the other Reapers? Well, aside from the fact that I wasn’t ‘created’ so much as ripped from my organic body and-fuck. That’s the condition, isn’t it? Sonuvabitch.

“Wait, you’re inside the systems of the Citadel? From halfway across the galaxy?” Tali demanded with sudden intensity and I meekly nodded. “Keelah, you mean to say you can spy on everything all at once? Can you hack into things?”

“Of course.” I thought that was-oh. There’s the Shadow Broker. Whoa, Yahg are fucking swol. The games didn’t do them justice. Instead of being rotund, they’re a bit more wiry with two extra arms that are just as thick and powerful. Four-armed arachnid-like beasts standing an average of 10 feet tall with triple-hinged mouths and four eyes? No fucking wonder they slaughtered the delegation sent to their planet if they have an even more violent society than the krogan.

“Are you anywhere else?” Tali demanded further and I-is that Tuchanka Station? Wait...I began ‘reaching out’ to the data-bugs Yola and I have been planting in systems all over the galaxy. Oh shit. Oh fuck. Too much. I retreated back to my own systems and was panting breathlessly as Tali shook me. “Sorry! Don’t do that again.”

“Oh~ fuck Tali. I’m everywhere. I’m like a virus.” At least I think I am. I’m not going to die if my main platform is destroyed I think, but this is spoopy! I’m basically Ultron!

“Well, you’re one sexy virus I wouldn’t mind catching.” Tali joked and I laughed before playfully slapping her hip. “That said, I’ve gotten word from father. His crew have been rather...liberal with their sudden freedom and they are resisting his orders to pack up so they can report back to the Migrant Fleet. He’s even saying he might have to take a freighter back instead because he can’t fly the Alarie alone.”

“Jeez, I mean, they really sexed up Yola hard just on the trip to Rannoch from Bres, but they’re already so eager to stay that they won’t listen to direct orders from their Admiral?” I hope the other Admirals and the Conclave don’t take that to mean the Geth are brainwashing them or something.

“He’s already spoken with them. It seems the news he had even has that warmonger Han'Gerrel and that bitch Daro’Xen interested considering he included video and audio. Han was mostly turned around when he mentioned that Operation Paradise is still viable and Daro appears to be almost aroused at all of the advanced technology returning to Rannoch would provide. Of course that sociopathic bitch would have a tech fetish.” Tali grumbled and I kissed her nose.

“What? You don’t? You were pretty quick to download my update.” I teased cornily and Tali laughed and slapped my bicep for my horrible joke.

“Well, it helps you come with a rather attractive operating system as well as impressive firmware.” Tali humped her groin against mine and I grunted as my maleness rapidly became erect in my suit. I may not have my helmet on, but they left me in the rest of my suit. “Mm~ there it is now.”

“Tali, as much as I would like to, I’m not particularly in the mood…” Sure, snuggles and fun yeah, but I’m still adjusting to the fact that I’m a Reaper. The fact that I have the processing power to potentially end societies and I may even have the power of Indoctrination. I pray to whatever Goddess governs free-will that I don’t.

“Hm, you spied on the councilors.” Tali teased as I flushed a deeper purple. “You have video?”

“Y-yes?” I meekly replied and Tali licked her lips.

“Let's get you into the mood.”

[1001100 01101001 01101110 01100101]

“-Oh! Ah! Yes! More Laiel! More~!” Tevos screamed in pleasure as Sparatus pinned her to the wall of the shower and fucked her like a beast with her legs held up by his arms and she was hanging from his neck by her own arms and fluttering kisses over his face.

“They do this regularly?” Tali breathily asked as she masturbated alongside me from where we watched on the bed across from where the video was projected against the wall.

“Hm, I don’t, unf, know.” I huffed as I stroked my cock with one hand while the other diddled my cunt. Not having balls in the way makes this so damn easy.

“Messana…” Sparatus warned his mate before he gasped and shuddered while the asari’s eyes dilated so much her pupils overtook her eyes and she shrieked in orgasm. Seeing her get off so hard set Tali off and I off. My dick sprayed thick gouts of synthetic cum into the air to splash back down onto our naked bodies as our female sexes spasmed and we moaned in satisfaction.

“I’ve brought some f-oh!” Martra interrupted herself when she peeked in with a tray of food. “Mrr~. Mind if I join in, you two?” She purred and approached, not allowing either of us to respond as she crawled on top of us.

“Martra.” Tali huffed while she was still coming down from her orgasm as the big kitty’s cock extended and Marta pawed my cock with one of her rear forelegs. “Hey Nora, I catch and you pitch?”

“Fuck yes.” I growled, fully ready to vent my frustration through sex now as I got up and behind Martra while Tali scooched further back on the bed and grabbed the condom I tossed to her. “You’re about to fuck someone and get fucked at the same time Martra! I hope you’re ready!”

“Hm, yes, that’s the best! Overload me!” The tiger-tauress begged as she lined up with Tali’s still sopping quim the moment the prophylactic was applied. “I wonder if the rumor is true.” Martra used her rear forelegs to help position Tali under her and Tali eagerly hugged Martra’s barrel as she began to shift down against the massive dick that was, while of similar size to quarian phalluses, was different in that it had dull barbs and was more tapered.

“What rumor?” Tali moaned as the spines on Martra cock gave her a whole new sensation. Meanwhile, I was still applying my own condom and preparing to penetrate this pussy’s pussy.

“That we Cat-Kut might be genetically compatible with a few native aliens. Not like asari, but that my eggs and semen can make babies with local species and make more Cat-Kuts.” Martra purred and looked back at me. “You could take that off, test it out?”

“Sorry Martra. This isn’t the Empire and we don’t have time for stuff like that.” Thank gosh the condoms I gave Tali and the one I’m using are an Imperial brand known for their durability.

“Fine, but it would be-ee~!” Martra was cut off when I rammed my dick into her in one firm thrust.
