The door opened silently.

A middle-aged man walked into the room, reached out his hand and pressed his brow, then sat behind the desk. The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then reached out his hand and opened the call.

"Get me the SSV Normandy, Commander Shepard."

"Please wait a moment..."

The mechanical electronic sound quickly disappeared, and after a moment, a young white woman with blonde hair appeared on the screen in front of the man.

"Hello, sir."

As she spoke, the white woman saluted the man in front of her. Seeing this, the man couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Okay, Commander, you don't have to salute me. I'm no longer your superior, but a councillor..."

"Okay, then Councilman Anderson."

After hearing what Anderson said, Shepard quickly changed his tone. The two smiled at each other, and then their expressions quickly became serious.

"Commander Shepard, what is the current status of the Normandy?"

"Everything is fine, Anderson, but our main task now is not to track down and eliminate the remaining Geth. You know, the Reapers are our biggest enemy!"

"Um……"

Anderson's face became gloomy when he heard Shepard's words. He would naturally not forget this name.

Anderson still remembers very clearly that not long ago, the human planet Eden Prime was attacked by the Geth, and a large number of humans were captured. It was Shepard who was responsible for investigating the matter at that time. In the end, she discovered that this was led by the rebellious ghost agent Saren, a conspiracy to summon a terrible species called "Reaper" to come back and destroy the entire galaxy's creatures.

The situation was once very critical. Even at the last moment, the Reaper "Overlord" ridden by Saren led the Geth army and almost occupied the entire Citadel. At this critical moment, it was Shepard and her Normandy who stepped forward, destroyed the Overlord, and ended the conspiracy of the Reapers and Saren.

Although they won in the end, all the members of the Citadel Council were wiped out. Afterwards, Shepard recommended Lieutenant General Anderson, who was once his superior, as the human representative to join the Citadel Council.

Shepard originally wanted to continue investigating the information about the Collectors and Reapers, but the Citadel Council insisted that the so-called Overlords were just some strange and huge mechanical weapons created by the Geth, and that the prophecy about the future that Shepard saw was just an illusion. Therefore, the Citadel Council also issued an order for Shepard and the Normandy to continue tracking and clearing the remnants of the Geth.

Shepard was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but Anderson had no other choice. Although he was one of the Citadel Council members, he was just "one" and it was impossible for him to overturn the decision of the Citadel Council.

But this time, Anderson contacted Shepard not for this matter.

"Shepard, I have a very important mission for you to complete this time."

"What mission?"

Shepard on the other side of the screen also immediately became serious, while Anderson frowned and then spoke helplessly.

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but in fact, just a few days ago, a border fleet of the Turian Empire encountered an unidentified attack on the edge of the Wandering Galaxy, and the Turian fleet was completely wiped out..."

"Is it the Reaper?"

Hearing this, Shepard suddenly became excited, and Anderson quickly raised his hand.

"Wait, calm down. Although I also hope it's the Reapers, but in fact... according to the news from the Turians, it was us humans who attacked the Turian fleet..."

"???"

Hearing this, Shepard was confused and looked at Anderson with a look of "what the hell are you talking about", while Anderson was also speechless. In fact, when he got this news from the Turian senator, he was also helpless!

"Is this a sign that the Turians are planning to attack humans again?"

Shepard immediately had her own thoughts, and it was no wonder that she thought so. In fact, after humans entered the universe, the first war they encountered with aliens was with the Turians.

At that time, the human exploration team was trying to activate a dormant mass relay and was discovered by the patrolling Turian fleet. Since this was an act prohibited by the Citadel Council, the Turian fleet launched an attack on the human exploration fleet and later captured Shanxi, one of the human colonies.

After months of bloody battles, humans finally succeeded in taking back Shanxi from the Turians. However, the Turians were unwilling to give up and prepared to go into full-scale war with humans.

And because of this, the war between the two sides attracted the attention of the Citadel Council, and finally they shook hands and made peace under the mediation of the Alyssa tribe, and humans also joined the Citadel and became a member of the big family of the Universal Alliance.

Although the relationship between the two sides is gradually improving, and even the Normandy is a warship jointly manufactured by humans and turians using their respective cutting-edge technologies, it is obviously impossible for Shepard to forget the war.

"Although I also think this is nonsense from the Turian side, but... they submitted evidence."

As he spoke, Anderson sent a video file over, and soon, scenes appeared in front of Shepard.

The Turian fleet, unknown terrifying monsters, a strange fleet, and... a young man who looks like a human.

"…Report to the Citadel Council immediately…"

Finally, amid screams, the video ended, and Shepard stared carefully at the snowflakes on the screen in silence for a long time.

"What does the Star Alliance think? Is this really not our fleet?"

"From the signals and fluctuations intercepted by the Turian fleet, their technology is completely different from ours."

"…Could it be Cerberus?"

The Cerberus mentioned by Shepard is a notorious human supremacist organization that claims to protect humans and regards the interests of humans as higher than all other races. If it were just that, it would be fine, but the biggest problem with Cerberus is that they often kidnap aliens and conduct some inhumane experiments, and their attitude towards other aliens is also quite bad... or hostile.

"We have also considered this possibility, but as of now...it's hard to say."

Anderson also shook his head.

"You also heard that the other party completely denied having any relationship with us humans. If it was Cerberus, they would not say that."

"That's true..."

Hearing Anderson's words, Shepard nodded in agreement. Cerberus was a die-hard human supremacist, and was also proud of being human. In the previous video, the other party did act as if he didn't care about it.

"But no matter what, we must investigate this matter thoroughly."

Anderson stood up and stared at the screen.

"The Turian Lord has protested and warned our Star Alliance through diplomatic channels. If things go wrong, a full-scale war between humans and the Turians might really break out. So Commander Shepard, I want you to lead the Normandy and head to the Wandering Galaxy immediately to investigate everything about this matter! I want to know where this mysterious fleet in the video came from and who they are!"

"yes!"

At Anderson's command, Shepard put his feet together and raised his hands in a quick salute.

"Make sure to complete the mission!"
