Plot
The year is 2184.

Colonies are vanishing, stolen away with unknown technologies for unknown reasons. Evidence suggests that the elusive collectors are involved, but their identities and purposes remain elusive. In the meanwhile, humans on the fringes of citadel space continue to be hunted as the rest of the galaxy shrugs, indifferent.

Politicians are dying, all of unfortunate accidents and natural causes, ostensibly the victims of their own carelessness and sedentary lifestyles. Some find it peculiar that only the supporters of the rapidly-advancing human interests are those who fall to such terrible luck, but find their accusations silenced all too quickly. Intrigue is afoot in the citadel, and someone is working very hard to ensure the council sees or hears nothing of it.

Cerberus fights for survival as one by one its operatives are kidnapped, tortured, and butchered. Others simply vanish, impossible to vindicate from either death or betrayal. Now, when more important work than ever is being done in its laboratories, cerberus cannot afford to falter, but neither can it afford to ignore this strange enemy of whom even they know nothing.

Plague runs rampant, emerging in the slums of overpopulated ports, first in a trickle and then in a flood. All species are affected—except, that is, for humans and vorcha. Suspicions are running nearly as high as tensions as victim after victim is felled, and no one can seem to find a solution.

Shepard is dead, while cerberus continues to throw billions into the lazarus project. with the team that defeated saren shattered by this loss and the council's interference, the crew is torn apart and tossed aside to go where they may. In the meantime, the galaxy is left without a hero—or, perhaps, a hope.

What will your reply be when there's no savior and no easy answer?
