Mass Effect: Revival

"Shepard! You need to wake up right now… This facility is under attack!"

- Opening Line of the Story

The story, Mass Effect Revival [1][2][3] follows the storyline of the second Mass Effect game but completely changing the story around to make into an alternate universe story that while staying somewhat similar to the story of Mass Effect 2 goes completely off the rails in doing so. The following is a fanon background source for those who are interested in reading up on the background of the story.

Story Summary
Two years after her death at the hands of the Collectors Alexandra Jane Shepard is woken up by a new unknown group needing her help in taking down the Collectors, the Reapers, and maybe even Cerberus as well while they were at it.
