The Pulse of Awakening (RPG)

[NWOWWE]

The old appearance of this holding cell didn't really do much to boost Shepard's confidence. It easily looked far older than the First Contact date so that seemed to rule out any Council Race involvement, especially since the skeletons appeared to be human.

And then there was that weapon that Saker had pulled out. How long had it been since projectile weapons like that had been used?

The most curious thing was the cell companion that seemed to be a being of light. In his first disoriented moments he had thought it was some kind of VI interface, but no, it appeared to be some kind of actual living person (well maybe living wasn't entirely accurate but he'd think more about that later).His analysis of the room had been cut short by the voice asking for their identification. And that raised some new questions. It seemed whoever had abducted them either didn't know who they were, or were unaffiliated with whoever was holding them now.The flickering of the light being was also worrying. Finding an escape would be nice, but it seemed Mira was having more immediate worries.

Shepard spoke up:

"Things don't quite seem to add up here. The old corpses here don't paint a pretty picture but I don't think we've been rounded up just to rot away in this cell."

He then turned to look at Mira.

"Are you going to be all right? You don't seem to be doing too well. Is there anything we can do to help?"
