00:00Oh
00:30Normandy, the beacon is secure.
00:52This is amazing! Actual working Prothean technology. Unbelievable!
00:56It wasn't doing anything like that when they dug it up.
01:00Something must have activated it.
01:03Roger, Normandy. Standing by.
01:07Shepard!
01:14No! Don't touch him! It's too dangerous!
01:22Shepard!
01:29Shepard!
01:30No! Don't touch him! It's too dangerous!
01:33Shepard!
01:35Shepard!
01:36Shepard!
01:38Shepard!
01:39Shepard!
01:41Shepard!
01:43We identified the ship that touched down on Eden Prime, the Normandy.
02:13A human alliance vessel. It was under the command of Captain Anderson. They managed to save the colony.
02:19And the beacon.
02:21One of the humans may have used it.
02:23This human must be eliminated.
02:43Doctor. Doctor Chakwas. I think he's waking up.
02:58You had us worried there, Shepard. How are you feeling?
03:14Minor throbbing. Nothing serious. How long was I out?
03:18About 15 hours. Something happened down there with the beacon, I think.
03:23It's my fault. I must have triggered some kind of security field when I approached it. You had to push me out of the way.
03:29You had no way to know what would happen.
03:34Actually, we don't even know if that's what set it off.
03:37Unfortunately, we'll never get the chance to find out.
03:41The beacon exploded. A system overload, maybe.
03:43The blast knocked you cold. The lieutenant and I carried you back here to the ship.
03:48I appreciate it.
03:51Physically, you're fine.
03:54But I detected some unusual brain activity.
03:57Abnormal beta waves.
03:59I also noticed an increase in your rapid eye movement.
04:02Signs typically associated with intense streaming.
04:05I saw...
04:07I saw...
04:08I'm not sure what I saw.
04:12Death?
04:13Destruction?
04:15Nothing's really clear.
04:17Hmm. I better add this to my report. It may...
04:21Oh. Captain Anderson.
04:23How's our XO holding up, Doctor?
04:25Well, all the readings look normal. I'd say the command is going to be fine.
04:29Glad to hear it.
04:31Shepard, I need to speak with you.
04:32In private.
04:33Aye, aye, Captain. I'll be in the mess if you need me.
04:39Sounds like that beacon hit you pretty hard, Commander.
04:42Are you sure you're okay?
04:45I don't like soldiers dying under my command.
04:48Jenkins wasn't your fault.
04:50You did a good job, Shepard.
04:52Chief Williams isn't part of the Normandy crew.
04:55I figured we could use a soldier like her.
04:58She's been reassigned to the Normandy.
05:00Williams is a good soldier.
05:02She deserves it.
05:03Lieutenant Elenka agrees with you.
05:05That's why I added her to our crew.
05:09Intel dropped the ball, sir.
05:10We had no idea what we were walking into down there.
05:13That's why things went to hell.
05:15The Geth haven't been outside the Vale in two centuries, Commander.
05:19Nobody could have predicted this.
05:21You said you needed to see me in private, Captain?
05:23I won't lie to you, Shepard.
05:26Things look bad.
05:28Nihilus is dead.
05:29The beacon was destroyed and Geth are invading.
05:31The Council's going to want answers.
05:34The Geth would have wiped out the whole colony if I hadn't stopped them.
05:38I'll stand behind you and your report, Shepard.
05:42You're a damned hero in my books.
05:44That's not why I'm here.
05:46It's Saren.
05:47That other Turian.
05:49Saren's a specter.
05:50One of the best.
05:51A living legend.
05:52But if he's working with the Geth, it means he's gone rogue.
05:58A rogue specter's trouble.
06:00Saren's dangerous.
06:02And he hates humans.
06:05Why?
06:06He thinks we're growing too fast, taking over the galaxy.
06:10A lot of aliens think that way.
06:12Most of them don't do anything about it.
06:14But Saren has allied himself with the Geth.
06:17I don't know how.
06:18I don't know why.
06:18I only know it had something to do with that beacon.
06:23You were there just before that beacon self-destructed.
06:26Did you see anything?
06:27Any clue that might tell us what Saren was after?
06:31Just before I lost consciousness, I had some kind of vision.
06:36A vision?
06:38A vision of what?
06:40I saw synthetics.
06:43Geth, maybe.
06:44Slaughtering people.
06:46Butchering them.
06:47We need to report this to the Council, Shepard.
06:52What are we going to tell them?
06:53I had a bad dream?
06:55We don't know what information was stored in that beacon.
06:59Lost Prothean technology?
07:01Blueprints for some ancient weapon of mass destruction?
07:03Whatever it was.
07:05Saren took it.
07:06But I know Saren.
07:09I know his reputation, his politics.
07:11He believes humans are a blight on the galaxy.
07:14This attack was an act of war.
07:16He has the Seekers from the beacon.
07:19He has an army of Geth at his command, and he won't stop until he's wiped humanity from the face of the galaxy.
07:24I'll find some way to take him down.
07:27It's not that easy.
07:29He's a specter.
07:31He can go anywhere, do almost anything.
07:33That's why we need the Council on our side.
07:35We prove Saren's gone rogue, and the Council will revoke his specter status.
07:41I'll contact the Ambassador, and see if he can get us an audience with the Council.
07:46He'll want to see us as soon as we reach the Citadel.
07:49We should be getting close.
07:51Head up to the bridge and tell Joker to bring us into dock.
07:53Hey, Commander.
08:21I'm glad you're okay, Commander.
08:23The crew could use some good news after what happened to Jenkins.
08:27Jenkins was a valuable part of this crew.
08:30Part of me feels guilty over what happened.
08:32If Jenkins was still alive, I might not be here.
08:37You're a good soldier, Williams.
08:39You belong on the Normandy.
08:40Thanks, Commander.
08:41I appreciate that.
08:43Things were pretty rough down there.
08:45Are you okay?
08:47I've seen friends die before.
08:49Comes with being a Marine.
08:51But to see my whole unit wiped out.
08:54And you never get used to seeing dead civilians.
08:57But things would have been a lot worse if you hadn't have shown up.
09:00We couldn't have done it without you, Williams.
09:02Thanks, Commander.
09:03I have to admit, I was a little worried about being assigned to the Normandy.
09:09It's nice when someone makes you feel welcome.
09:12I think you're going to fit in here just fine, Williams.
09:15Thanks, Commander.
09:16Yes, Commander?
09:23Is there something you need?
09:25How did you end up serving on an Alliance ship?
09:28I enlisted right out of med school.
09:30Earth always seemed boring to me.
09:32Too safe.
09:33Too secure.
09:35I figured the colonies were teeming with exotic adventure.
09:38I wanted to travel the stars, tending the wounds of tough soldiers with piercing eyes and sensitive souls.
09:45Turns out military life isn't quite as romantic as I'd imagined.
09:50But humanity needs the Alliance if we want to keep expanding through the Traverse.
09:55And the Alliance always needs good doctors.
09:57So I stayed on to do my part.
10:00Ever think you made the wrong choice?
10:02Sometimes I think about opening a private practice back on Earth.
10:05Or maybe taking a position at one of the new med centers out in the colonies.
10:09But there's something special about working on soldiers.
10:13If I left the Alliance now, I'd feel like I was abandoning them.
10:17What do you know about Captain Anderson?
10:19I've served with him for a few tours now.
10:22He knows when to let things slide and when to crack the whip.
10:25The crew knows he's seen pretty much anything they'll ever run into.
10:29And he cares about the people under his command.
10:33How well do you know the Lieutenant?
10:34I'd never worked with him before this mission.
10:37But he has an impressive service record.
10:39Over a dozen special commendations.
10:41Tends to keep to himself, though.
10:43Maybe because of the headaches.
10:44It's not easy being an L2.
10:47What does that have to do with it?
10:49Well, most biotics now use the L3 implants.
10:53Lieutenant Alenka was wired with the old L2 configuration.
10:56Sometimes there are complications.
10:59What kind of complications?
11:00Severe mental disabilities, insanity, crippling physical pain.
11:05There's a long list of horrific side effects.
11:07Caden's lucky.
11:08He just gets migraines.
11:11I should go.
11:12Goodbye, Commander.
11:13Glad to see you're okay, Commander.
11:29Go speak to Joker when you're ready.
11:31Tell him to bring the Normandy into dock.
11:32I'm glad you're okay, Commander.
12:00Losing Jenkins was hard enough on the ground.
12:03Good timing, Commander.
12:23I was just about to bring us into the Citadel.
12:30See that taxpayer money at work.
12:31I am here.
12:43I will be back.
12:47I will be back.
12:50I will be back.
12:50I will be back.
12:52Look at the size of that ship.
13:07The Ascension. Flagship of the Citadel fleet.
13:10Well, size isn't everything.
13:12Why so touchy, Joker?
13:14I'm just saying, you need firepower, too.
13:18Look at that monster.
13:19Its main gun could rip through the barriers on any ship in the Alliance fleet.
13:23Good thing it's on our side, then.
13:25Citadel Control, this is SSV Normandy.
13:28Requesting permission to land.
13:29Stand by for clearance, Normandy.
13:33Clearance granted. We may begin your approach.
13:36Transferring you to an Alliance operator.
13:38Roger, Alliance Tower. Normandy out.
13:42Normandy, this is Alliance Tower. Please proceed to dock 422.
13:49This is an outrage.
14:10The Council would step in if the Geth attacked a Turian colony.
14:13The Turians don't found colonies on the borders of the Terminus systems, Ambassador.
14:21Humanity was well aware of the risks when you went into the Traverse.
14:24What about Saren? You can't just ignore a rogue specter. I demand action.
14:29You don't get to make demands of a Council, Ambassador.
14:32Citadel Security is investigating your charges against Saren.
14:36We will discuss the C-Sec findings at the hearing, not before.
14:38Captain Anderson, I see you brought half your crew with you.
14:47Just the ground team from Eden Prime. In case you had any questions.
14:51I have the mission reports. I assume they're accurate?
14:55They are.
14:57Sounds like you convinced the Council to give us an audience.
14:59They were not happy about it. Saren's their top agent. They don't like him being accused of treason.
15:07Saren's a threat to every human colony out there. If they don't stop him, I will.
15:12Settle down, Commander. You've already done more than enough to jeopardize your candidacy for the Spectres.
15:17The mission on Eden Prime was a chance to prove you could get the job done.
15:21Instead, Nihilus ended up dead and the beacon was destroyed.
15:25That's Saren's fault, not his.
15:27Then we better hope the C-Sec investigation turns up evidence to support our accusations.
15:33Otherwise, the Council might use this as an excuse to keep you out of the Spectres.
15:38Come with me, Captain. I want to go over a few things before the hearing.
15:42Shepard, you and the others can meet us at the Citadel Tower, top level.
15:46I'll make sure you have clearance to get in.
15:50And that's why I hate politicians.
15:57Thank you, Gal.
16:17I don't know.
16:47I don't know.
17:17I don't know.
17:47I don't know.
18:17I don't know.
18:47I don't know.
19:17I don't know.
