Chapter 1: destruction of the normandy.
Ghost POV:
Phoenix and I were walking to engineering, just walking about, we had recently walked through both the command deck, and quarters along with the medical bay, and stopped for a chad with Karen and walked through the cargo bay to get to engineering.
"Hey Addams." I say walking over to the man, as Phe walks over to talk to Tali.
"Hey Ghost. What brings you and Phe down here?" He askes turning away from his terminal.
"Nothing much, There's little to do so we thought may as well walk about, but it also occurred to me that I don't know much about the Normandy. If it doesn't take up too much of your time care to tell me about it?"
"No, I'd be glad to tell you, what would you like to know about first?" He replies. "Hmm... How about the IES system?" I ask politely as Adam begins to explain.
"Internal Emission Sink or IES as everyone call is for short, enables us to mask the Normandy's heat signature from scanners rendering us invisible."
"I'm guessing invisible until someone looks out a window?"
"Precisely."
"So how does it mask our heat signature?"
"By temporally 'storing' the head in lithium heat sinks deep within the hull. Anything else you want to know?"
I think for a few seconds. "What are the limitations of the IES system Adams?"
"Well the system doesn't work during FTL flight because it blue-shifts the Normandy's emissions beyond the sinks' ability to store, and foe a small period of time after exiting FTL flight. And as you mentioned visual scans or looking out a window will also give away our position. Anything else?"
Before I could respond the ship shook and a few small explosions were heard on the other decks as well as a few in the area we were currently in.
"Tali! Adams! Get every one to the escape pods ASAP!" I yell as they nod and start assisting other crew members out of the room and to were the pods are, leaving me and Phoenix to put the fires out, Adams soon returned.
"Adams get to the escape pods now!"
"No can do, someone needs to keep the engine running." He says heading back to the terminal, I block his path.
"Adams get to the god damn escape pod, me and Phe will deal with that."
He goes to argue again but the ship shook again causing more explosions and a large panel to fall nearly on top of me and Adams, luckily I caught it using my biotics but it was still heavy, and Adams had still not left.
"Engineer Adams! Get yourself to an escape pod now! That is an order!" He looks ad me knowing that I can't hold this panel up forever he nods and goes to leave.
"See you on the other side Ghost." He says as he leaves my sight.
I finally drop the panel, I head to the terminal showing the engines status, red warning signs flash across the screen as another explosion goes off and the artificial gravity is of luckily my mag-boots prevent me from flying off as the screen shows critical failure as the EZO engine begins to glow and overheat, then finally explodes sending me and Phe flying out into space, or so we thought everything goes white as I loose consciousness.
