   Summary

   What if there were no mass effect relays?
   What if the species of the galaxy hadn’t met yet?

   (This story is a Shepard and Garrus version of Project Hail Mary with a few changes, twists, and romance. If you haven’t read the book or watched the movie, this does contain spoilers.)

   Shepard is on a mission to stop Astrophage from dimming Earth’s sun, and for that she needs to investigate a sun that was not infected by the Astrophage- Tau Ceti. Her crew did not survive their medically induced comas for the 4 year trip there. Leaving her in an unknown part of space to save Earth alone.. or so she thought.

   Garrus was here for the same thing, to stop the Astrophage from dimming Palaven’s sun. He never thought in a million years he’d be making first contact with an alien race.
