Project Ninmah: Shepard's Ascendancy

In the clandestine ambiance of a dimly lit room aboard Arcturus Station, two figures in dress blues, Admiral Hackett and Captain Anderson, sat in plush leather chairs. Between them, an aged wooden table bore the silent witness of two glasses, the amber liquid within reflecting the room's subtle glow The air was thick with a conspiratorial tension, laced with the smoke that curled lazily around them. Before the men, a large holoscreen displayed the dossier of Jane Shepard, a name that carried with it a weight of galactic urgency.
