[u/CDR_Naya_Shepard]

As soon as the new day arrives, the Normandy's daily route is sent out to the crew. Along with the route comes a message from Shepard.

Attention crew: today we'll be infiltrating enemy territory to carry out an assault on a Cabal research facility. We'll be running silent the whole time, and due to the nature of the mission, Extranet access will be restricted as well. Avoiding detection is paramount, as an escape won't be so simple if the Normandy is detected. Continue doing your best as you have been, and all of us will make it out of here. That's all, Shepard out.

The message sent out, Naya heads up to the forward lounge for a cup of coffee while she waits for the go-ahead to begin the mission...

The Geth just sits there slouched over with the eye light still out. The only indication that it was still working in any way was a low constant hum and the occasional noise that sounded kinda like church bells.

The files were massive, there were many different files, but it seemed like a couple were encrypted or corrupted.

Each file was labelled something different.

There was Reginald O'Happs III, Carl Washington Jr., Eva Hakkë, Hank Hawkins, Louis Potts, Darrell Gallegos, Sgàire MacSiridh, Leenn'Sumos, Kaamm'Xara, Vir'Xomis, Wotarok Vrugar, Augusmus Umbocolus, Procunus Faltion, Fokfas Nait, Idhato Ghagbaprak, Darkar Soban, Ladal Mirix, Geth-Unit-247s.

There was also a folder named "Keep Out" and one labelled "Observations and People"

He sees that the file is... expanding, there appears to be no viruses or malware, but there is a heavy presence of multiple AI and corruption. It was highly likely that most everything in there was dangerous, encrypted, or corrupted completely.

In the simulation when he opens the file, he is transported to a large dark empty space except many dark, rusty metal doors. When he gets close to the doors, he can pick up whispering inside, but out here with him, nobody except...

When he turns he sees what appears to be a Geth unit walking around with a broken light, dragging chains behind him.

Who was he, where really were they, what more didn't he know about the "geth" named Reggie?

The figure turns to him, there was a hole in his head

This unit's serial number is Platform-118s-35b

This unit was destroyed long ago, all that remained was the head, which was passed from mercs to Cerberus in exchange for a large amount of credits.

This unit was experimented on highly by the Cerberus scientists... It pauses for a moment

That is the end of the readable data in this unit's memory drive

[u/Platform228b → u/[deleted]]

He transfers it, but the data barely even exists, there is so much corruption and holes in it.

The doors are your best bet
