He watched as Shepard and Anderson had their last little chat. His mouth wouldn’t move, but he could shift his eyes around. At that time he didn’t really want to think about it, but now he had a lot more time to think about it. Thanks to the chat he just had with Shepard, he finally realized the consequences of those. Sometimes there were benefits to the Reaper hardware. More importantly, it turned off the pain that he was receiving. He consciously turned off his nervous system, as with a burnt and broken spine there wasn’t much point to having it on. So he had a perfect view of her as she lowered her gun, and dragged her broken body over towards Anderson’s. Thanks to his involuntary head twitching, the bullet then impacted his spine, passing relatively safely through the rest of his head. He jerked his head as the bullet broke through his improved skull, the grain sized piece of burning hot metal, inferno ammo, Her favorite, burned its way at a different angle. Shepard’s bullet passed right through the frontal lobes, and unfortunately due to his reaper hardware he had installed, he had a much better response system installed behind his eyes. Surreal right until your nerves that let you know that you are hurt start screaming out to let you know that you have been hurt. The feeling of a bullet passing through your head is quite surreal. If you wanted me to apologize, you would have brought a lawyer. The shift is unexpected but not unwelcome. The first arc is from the perspective of Jack Harper, and the Second and Third Arcs are not primarily from his perspective. Mass Effect as it should be, with ego, pride, and loose morals. Welcome to Living an Indoctrinated Dream. For all of you who hated the ending of Mass Effect 3, and the mismanagement of what could have been the most terrifying villain ever, this is for you. This story is mostly from the Perspective of Jack Harper, the Illusive Man and one of the chief villains of the Mass Effect series. It will be available there in all of its formatted glory. The link to that is: Living an Indoctrinated Dream Chapter 1: Fugue:Waking Dream, a mass effect fanfic | FanFiction. It will come in installments once a day or every couple of days until it catches up to where I am already on fan. AU.ĭue to the recommendation of many of my readers, I have decided to post my story here. Sending a Hero back in time does nothing Sending back this guy? Priceless. New Cerberus, New plan, and the Reapers watching, always watching. Jack Harper, The Illusive Man, is back where it all started. Sending the Illusive Man back in time? Difficulty level has increased. Unlikely to produce significant changes to timeline. Sending Shepard back in time? Inefficient. Very long, with focus on plot, grammar, sciences, and fluff.
