《Siame (Mass Effect fanfic)》CHAPTER EIGHT: new beginnings
Advertisement
Ryker was gone. It felt like the whole world was collapsing around her, and that all the air in her lungs was being taken way...this wasn't real...it couldn't be real.
One thing she knew, she was not done with Cerberus, not by a long shot. And as for Ryker's mother...she will find her.
A week had passed since the love of her life had died...and they were gathered here in the Councilors chamber to honor and tribute Ryker for a life commended of an N7 operative.
They managed to clear Ryker's name and reinstate her to N7 status...a little late but at least her honor would live on.
Le'Nassia looked around the room as they had holos of Ryker on the banners, and she wasn't sure she could do this...a hand came up and grabbed hers, she turned to look at who it belonged to and Naru stood there looking up at the banners with her. Le'Nassia didn't say anything but gripped Naru's hand tighter.
They continued to the ceremony together in silence.
They listened to Hackett give a speech about bravery, selflessness, and honor...just to name a few ways to describe this fantastic being...but she didn't need to hear what others said about Ryker...she knew Ryker and no one will ever be able to replace her.
At the end of the ceremony she looked at Naru, “thank you.. thank you for being here...for her...and for me.”
“Nassia, I know she loved you and you loved her...as did I...she was a good person and my friend...she will be missed...Keelah si Lai.”
Le'Nassia walked to the balcony at their home on Thessia...she had come home with her mother to be around family while she grieved and worked on looking for Ryker's mother so she could find a way to pay back what she lost...and she was close to finding her but the lead ran dry.

It's been almost 2 weeks since she lost Ryker and not a day goes by that she doesn't think of her…she will always have her with her…
...and because of miracles a piece of her will remain with her always...in 9 months, their daughter will know how great her father was.
And wherever Ryker was now, she'd watch over them that she knew for sure...she thought about how blessed she was with this, rubbing her belly...looking off into the Thessia sunsets.
“One day, I promise...I will fulfill your wish, and our dream...and I will go somewhere where no one knows us...just us... together... always….

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)
