Mordin Solus Mass Effect 3 Novels & Stories

"Annalyn would come through it human. Fully and permanently human. The bond marks would dissolve. Every connection she holds to the three of you would end completely." The room held that. I looked at Lucas. His jaw was set and his face was doing the thing it did when he was running rapid calculations behind an expression he had locked down deliberately. I looked at Matteo in the doorway. He had arrived at some point during Dalisay's explanation and had not announced himself, and his face was carrying the same calculation with less success at concealing it. I watched both of them move through it.

The air in the Kunlun Main Hall had ceased to be air; it was a pressurized sea of psionic energy and void-matter. The massive, blue-scaled hand of the Siren—Subject 003—gripped the edge of the fractured jade floor, her long, bio-luminescent hair swirling like a galaxy beneath the abyss. “Subject 003-Gamma: Resynchronization complete,” the AI’s voice echoed through the Navigator in Scarlett’s hand. “Psionic dampening field: Active.”

Kade’s POV “Shit!” Sable rammed her fist into the console. “They’re hitting the main anchor point. We’ve got twenty minutes, maybe thirty if we’re lucky.” I stared at the screens. Golden eyes everywhere. The Forsaken moved between them like dark priests. Michelle and Ashram stood at the back behind a line of enhanced soldiers, calm as ever. Probably liking the side that they were on, because it was obviously not the losing side. Or the tormented one for that matter.

"It’s a Vessel." Leo stepped forward, his indigo runes pulsing with a surgical, blue light. He was holding a handheld scanner he’d salvaged from the Senate ruins. "Mother, it’s a Synthetically Replicated Shifter. They’ve taken the data from the 'Silver Sanatorium' and the 'Grid-City' and they’ve 3D-printed a predator. It has our strength, our speed, but it has Zero Emotional Noise. It’s the 29th Protocol: The Perfected Heir." The silver-white beast stopped at the base of the Citadel. It looked up at me, and its eyes weren't eyes—they were Lenses of Pure Calculus.

"What—" He looked back at Sebastian. The Ratnik-3 suit was no longer dark. The red LEDs on the chest plate ignited. The servos hissed to life. [ SYSTEM REBOOTED. ] [ POWER LEVEL: 15% (EMERGENCY RESERVE). ] [ COMBAT MODE: ENGAGED. ] Sebastian stood up. He towered over the Warden. Steam vented from his armor’s joints. "Thank you for the jumpstart," Sebastian’s voice boomed, distorted and demonic.

"Four. Three. Two. One." Back at the Bloodmoon Citadel, miles away through the jagged mountain peaks, the morning sun broke over the horizon. Instead of bringing warmth, it cast a sharp, cold golden light through the narrow arched windows of the private archives, illuminating dust motes dancing in the frantic air. Saed stood in front of the master security console, looking like a man who had been dragged through the layers of the underworld. His robes were disheveled, his eyes bloodshot and wide with a manic desperate terror. His face was pale, slick with a thick sheen of sweat that dripped onto the sleek, obsidian-colored keys of the interface. The screen before him was blinding, pulsing wi

Sad. “He brought us here.” Mara turned around. Jonas was behind them. But he was transparent. It's like fog. He smiled weakly. “This is the node space.” Mara went to him. “What did you do?” He looked at his hands. Through them, silver light flows. “I activated the third switch.” The three doors began to pulsate. Lena joined Mara's side. She took her hand. Warm. Really. “Only one of us can return.” Mara died.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE: MANDATORY DEPLOYMENT IN 00:03:00.] [OBJECTIVE: DEFEND SECTOR 9 TRANSIT BRIDGE.] [WARNING: HIGH ENEMY DENSITY EXPECTED.] At 20:57 hours, the Sector 3 immersion room felt less like a gaming suite and more like an execution chamber. The ambient blue light from the Vanguard pods cast long, distorted shadows against the acoustic walls. The heavy hum of the liquid-gel cooling systems sounded like a ticking clock.

My amethyst eyes scanned the landscape: seeing nothing but petrified white trees and a fog that moved with a jagged, unnatural frequency. "The 'Resonance Flatline' is absolute here: Solis," Kaelen rumbled: his voice a low, physical vibration of concern. He stood beside me in his human form: his graphite obsidian skin looking dark and solid against the grey waste. "The mountain isn't just sleeping. It’s been hollowed out." Beside us: Muna was clutching the largest Celestial Seed to her chest. Her iridescent charcoal fur was bristling, and her amethyst eyes were wide with a primal, empathetic pain.

he replied, already starting the engine. As we drove, I leaned my head back against the seat, letting my eyes close for a moment. The high was still there, my senses were still sharp, buzzing, and I still felt so much alive under my skin. Everything felt clearer, faster, and more possible. I wished the cocaine in my system at that moment didn’t ever wear off. ‘This is like 5 kilometers away from your home, boss.’ ‘That’s right.’ ‘We’re there now.’ Williams informed.
