Vetra Mass Effect Andromeda Novels & Stories

He needed to bury them deep, to the point that he couldn’t feel them any longer. Mack tipped out two of the pills into an open palm, then threw them into the back of his throat. And swallowed. ~ Eva was both elated and enchanted as she piloted her Federation starfighter all around Tartarus Base. She was filled with the absolute heart-pounding thrill of flight yet again, only this time she was in the midst of a Promethean Merge. And it was nothing like she had ever experienced before. With sensors on full blast, she was completely aware of everything that was around her - the asteroid bases, her fellow pilots, patrolling drones, gun emplacements, the Admiral’s watchful frigate, everything.

She stood before the massive temporal probability flow map, her silhouette cutting against the glowing, complex web of possible futures. "The Anchor is stable," Mela projected, her voice a low, steady thrum that held none of the usual satisfaction of mission completion. "But the temporal stream has reacted unpredictably. We offered Terra-Mundus the gift of stillness the pause they needed to avoid elemental cataclysm. But in doing so, we introduced a variable into their past that has accelerated a different, more subtle risk."

"My Ensi are dying, Neoma. The Feral Rot is consuming them. Their power is too great for their biology to sustain. They burn hot. And eventually, they burn out. They turn into mindless beasts." He reached out. Stroked my hair. I flinched violently. Skin crawling. But I didn't pull away. I couldn't. Muscles locked in terror. "You are the coolant," he whispered. "You are the filter. As a Tether, you will be bound to the Unit Vanguard. You will absorb the excess radiation that poisons them. You will drink their corruption so they can remain strong. You will keep my weapons sharp." "I'm not a medical device," I whispered. Tears—hot and angry—tracked through the grime on my face.

“Trap?” “Maybe. Or a message.” Roman was silent for a moment. “We decrypt this. We see what she left us.” “And if it's another experiment?” Eden asked. He looked her dead in the eye. “Then we burn it. Together.” Eden nodded, something hardening in her chest. This wasn’t over. Valeska wasn’t just a ghost of their past—she was rewriting the future in real-time, building new weapons, new minds. Caldera might be dust, but the war was far from finished.

Gareth nodded, “I that’s the case, then I am coming with you.” “What are you two even talking about?” Cassandra asked. “I am going back to the Arkenta— “We are going to Arkenta” Gareth interrupted but Vera nodded weakly as if finding it difficult to argue with him. “But Arkenta is a long way from here. Besides, are we not in this together?” “The prophesy would have been fulfilled before we get back there. But this will get us to Arkenta faster,” Vera grinned and removed a Black Amytal fluid from her small bag. “Collected it from one of those Cavaliers outside.”

"Your father was a madman, Aara. Or a prophet. He realized that if you anchor the data to the planet’s own vibration, you don't need a cloud. You don't even need a battery. You just need the world to keep spinning." ​The peace of the valley was broken on the twelfth day. A black, silent VTOL craft unmarked but humming with the unmistakable frequency of the Global Council descended into the meadow. Out stepped Elena, looking more like a stateswoman than a printer, accompanied by a woman in a suit of "Smart-Fiber" that shimmered with a million micro-LEDs. ​"Aara. Damian," Elena said, her voice strained. "This is Director Vala. She represents the Unified Digital Initiative."

​He slammed his hand into the primary Aether-core. ​The Vane’s Legacy II didn't fire a laser. It released a Cloud. Billions of "White-Seed" spores erupted from the ship’s vents, caught in the graviton-stream of the Andromeda star. They weren't looking to destroy the Directorate’s fortress; they were looking for the Ventilation. ​"They’re firing!" Sophia screamed.

By month three, weakness crept into the older members of that group; at nearly the same instant, those charges shot up forty points. That autumn - when Mom started spitting dark clots, and Dad could no longer shift into fur - the power meters at Vareth hit their highest point. Instead of factories humming or roads rising, they funneled raw current skyward. Fired through orbit straight to one place: Valerian Valley. My breath stalled. "Leon." Out of nowhere, the archive room's door slipped aside. My breath caught. The screen clicked dark as I spun toward the sound - useless now. There he stood, framed by the entrance, height alone making the space feel smaller.

] Midnight in the Sector 3 penthouse was silent, save for the low, rhythmic hum of the Vanguard immersion pods cooling their internal processors. Ren Walker stood over the master bed for a long moment, watching Maya sleep. The pale, artificial moonlight from the climate-dome filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft glow over her resting face. She looked peaceful. The hollowed-out exhaustion of the slums was entirely gone. Ten million credits, Ren thought, his jaw setting with absolute resolve. After tonight, we never have to worry again. He turned and walked into the soundproofed gaming suite. Leo was already in his pod, tapping his thick fingers against the gel-armrests

For a moment, she thought she might crumble. Adrian crossed the floor in three long strides. He didn’t say anything, just pulled her into his arms. Her hands trembled against his chest, and for the first time since the chaos began, she let herself feel all the fear, the fury and the freedom. “It’s over,” he murmured into her hair. But Luna shook her head. “No. He’s not finished. Vega never stops after he bleeds. He doubles down.” Damien’s voice cut in from the doorway, grim confirmation. “She’s right.
