No useless words, I was thinking the storyline of "Mass Effect 4" would be situated roughly 50 000 years before the original series, specificaly in the time of the biggest extent and glory of the Prothean empire. Nations of Prothean empire rule the united galaxy, with it's capital on Citadel etc. At the begining you play as a REGULAR officer of Prothean fleet or something, and are assigned to track and deal with some pirate group which has recently assaulted a fleet ship with secret military technology. It seems like not so unusual mission, you are able to track down the terrorist unit after a few missions, however without the ship's cargo, but it reveals that they're not just some pirates trying to enrich themselves. It's clear that they are part of a bigger group led by rouge prothean scientists and officers, and it seems like they are fundamentals and conspirators, with "higher" goals, but it still isn't clear what they are. You find this out, after destroying this unit, during your next visit on the Citadel, after reporting to your superiors. They tell you that the scientists have been working on some digsites of a civilisation that dissapeared in, as we know, previous cycle. Insuannons, thoi'han or somewho. They apparently found out the cycles and also an ancient message about, as we know today, Reapers' invasion, and so stated, supported by empire fleet officer, who was assigned to guard them in digsites, that Citadel is a trap and has to be abandoned and destroyed fast, because the current cycle is ending, however, for the empire officials this statement seemed too crazy to take seriously and refused to do anything, also because the message of Insuannon is difficult to comprehend due to it's technology (something like prothean beacons for humans), which is not still completely revealed. That means the scientists haven't got any proof. Empire officials even contrarily decided to put the scientists and the soldiers from the digsites into quarantine, because they had concerns that they may be somehow poisoned. However the scientists and guards led by the rogue officer were able to overhelm Citadel security and escaped the Citadel, while hijacking empire cruiser, and dissapeared. Your mission now has top priority, because it's believed that the scientists wants to destroy the Citadel by using WMD (which was on that assaulted fleet ship, as it reveals). The hunt starts and you're picking and putting together pieces of puzzle that eventually leads you to conspirators' headquarters somewhere, where you finds out the action for destruction of the Citadel is already underway and it's only a little time left. The WMD is currently on the Citadel docks. The scientists tries to persuade you about the Reapers and that it's only a matter of hours, days at the most, until they use "Relay system" to reach the Citadel, but they don't convince you and are killed while they desperately tries to stop you. You reach the Citadel and have a major firefight with rogue Protheans, during which the WMD is successfully put on board of random hijacked freighter and is moved between the Citadel Wards. You eventually destroy the resistance with help of the Citadel security forces, so you can reach the docks, but the Citadel security can't destroy the ship because of the cargo, so you have to board it and manually deactivate the bomb. So you and a few pilots get in a fighters and chase the freighter, while the rogue cruiser appears to assist. You have to deal with it first before you can embark the freighter. At the end you are the only one surviving and can embark the cargo ship and fight your way through. At this point with time limit. During your fight through the ship you damage it pretty much, the Ezzo core is collapsing, but you are able to reach the bomb and deactivate and disable it, so it can't cause any damage now. However you're not able to abandon the ship and are killed while it hits one of the Wards. The Citadel is spared and the fate of the Prothean civilization is sealed. In the epilogue it's revealed that only two days later the Citadel felt silent.

I'd appreciate to have some mission on Thessia and Sur'Kesh. Also i'd like protheans to have regular weapons using bullets, not some laser madness or something, except some special weapons.

Thanks for reading.
