Introduction
The First Contact War has ended, but tensions are still high. "First Contact" teams sent by the council have arrived to "examine and study" humanity. Now, supposedly they are new allies, but high tensions means suspicions are being passed around. Additionally, Pro human Terrorist organizations have started appearing. Groups calling themselves things like "Earth's Justice" or "Cerberus".
However, this story revolves around the actions that will be taken aboard one specific station: Gateway Station. Nearly everyone passes through it on the way to Terra Nova. It's massive. Not anywhere near as massive as the Citadel, but as stations go, it's massive. It's possibly the biggest civilian station around. Now, Gateway Station dies have military parts and uses, but the station is not entirely military. In fact, people live on this station. Not just the employees, but their families and friends too. The station has schools, stores, hospitals, security, all that stuff.
The Station is split into sections, each with a different security level.
Authorized Visitors to the station have Level 1 Security clearance.
Citizens (as in anyone who lives on the station) have Level 2 Security Clearance.
Engineers and Scientists have Level 3 Security Clearance.
Security Personnel, Diplomats, Head Engineers, and High Ranking Alliance Officials have Level 4 Security Clearance.
Station Officials, the Head of Security, and The Station Manager has Level 5 Security Clearance. Only these people have the authorization to change someone's security clearance.
General Living Areas and the main part of The Docks are Level 1 Security.
Schools, Hospitals, Inter-Station Transit Hubs, and Private Living Areas are Level 2. As Level 2, you also need an Access code to get into anyone's specific Private Living Area.
Labs, Engineering Areas, and certain Storage areas are Level 3 Security.
Security Stations, Diplomat/VIP Living Areas, Central Engineering, and certain storage areas are Level 4.
The Station Manager, Head of Security, and Station Official Workstations and private residence are all Level 5 Security.
The Station has plenty of unmapped Vents, tunnels, and passages built during construction. Most of them are very well hidden.
Now, this roleplay is going to have heavy amounts of intrigue, mystery, and action. But it won't be all the time. So, remember. This is a Civilian Station, enjoy yourself.
Oh, and because the year is early 2158, the oldest Human Biotic would probably be around 13-14. Just as a note.
To save water (because it's a Space Station and they don't want to just waste it all), there are showers located near every Private Living Area that operate for 30 minutes every day at 7AM Terra Nova Capital Time (which is also station time). After all, Stations always want to make sure they don't run out of water.
Omni-Tools can be used as your Station ID Holder.
There are three Cold Room levels to prevent biological contamination. The last two require level 3 security, the first one some engineer somehow managed to fill with snow and is now a massive snow park people can use to do snow related activities.
There is also a regular park as well. It's large, but only a fraction of the size as the lake on the Presidium.
Security is no joke here. The station is shielded, armored, and has defense cannons.
Children who grew up here are typically referred to as Spacers.
You do not need extensive knowledge on the Mass Effect universe, but I do recommend looking up the basics.
This is near immediately after First Contact. Shepard, or even Anderson, is not famous yet. Shepard isn't even ten yet I am pretty sure, I doubt he is even out of diapers.
No canon characters. Not unless they are incredibly minor or are just a relative. That said, no Williams.
There are various secret hidden unmapped vents, passages, and crawl spaces throughout the station.
Anyways, I think I covered everything else. Now for the rules, and a charrie sheet.
No god mod.
No powerplay.
Romance and nudity are both acceptable, so long as you don't go into graphic detail. If you want to have some big graphic romance scene, keep it to PMs. If a guy is naked, we don't need to know anything more. (Though maybe if it's a girl....jk. Lol)
Play nice in the OOC. Keep fighting and tension to IC.
Have fun. If you don't, I vent you out the airlock.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 3 authors
Gateway Station. One of the largest stations in the Galaxy. Home to so many people. And soon...it will be full of adventure, too.
The station was turning the "day" lights on, and the "night" lights off. The night lights were significantly less bright, and only came on when it was night time in the timezone of the Capital of the planet below. Not only did it save a ton of power, but it made it easier to have shipwide time.
Daniel fell out of bed as his alarm clock went off. Realizing he had slept in, he quickly grabbed a towel, and went for the showers before he missed them. As an obvious point of fact, being on a station meant limited water, so the showers in the station only operated during a certain period of time each morning so that it wouldn't waste water. Daniel was still adapting to this, instead of having a shower in his own apartment with his dad. He was still adjusting to a lot of things though.
In truth, everyone was. Humanity had only just made First Contact months ago, when the First Contact War ended. This meant new technologies, new cultures, and new prying eyes. Daniel was slow to trust most people. As he arrived, the water came on and he took his shower before someone else came looking for room.
Afterwards, Daniel returned to the apartment and began making himself breakfast. He noticed his father's stuff seemed to be gone already, like it was some mornings. Occasionally his father had to go in early. Daniel finished making breakfast and eating.
"Your going to be late" Digi reminded him from his Omni-Tool.
"No I am not Digi. You just remember to keep quiet during class. I don't want anyone to find out about you".
"I know what I am doing" the AI remarked. "I am self aware, after all".
"Yeah, and if we get caught we both get in massive trouble. Criminal trouble".
Digi minimized himself, and Danny finished eating. He quickly grabbed his bag, and made his way towards the school.
(For all intensive purposes, some people might want to have their first post end in the Afternoon, cause I am literally going to cover the schoolday in a single post)
(Also, we may begin!) (Sorry for the massive delay)
He rubbed at his hair with a towel. It was the only thing he couldn't get dry right away. He shook his head fiercely in order to toss his messy hair out of his face. He threw on the clothes he laid out the evening. On top of it all, he pulled on his favorite N7 hoodie. He gabbed his bag on his way out the door. He called a goodbye through his house, then made sure to close the door behind him.
Alex was as quiet as ever during his first few classes. He hardly ever talked to anyone anyway. This didn't stop him from having a smile all morning, and even more now at noon. He eagerly anticipated the end of the school day.
"Dr Reynolds, your next appointment has arrived." Rachael heard the voice of her secretary over the intercom.
"Send her in, Marie." Rachael replied. The door to her office opened as her appointment walked in. It was one of the Asari researchers and Rachael was currently teaching all the alien researchers about human biology and they would teach her about their respective biologies, the only race she couldn't reach was the Quarians.
After working with the Asari researcher, Rachael was finally free to go get some food and maybe have a bit of a rest. Rachael wandered down the hall, she looked out one of the observation windows and watched the planet below as the station orbited around it, the beauty of the sight caused a slight smile to cross her face as she continued onwards to the lift and hit the button for Level One.
Exiting the lift, she spotted Zander and she called to him. "Officer Miles!" She called as she did her best to run over to him, although her heels made it difficult. "Hey, I was just wondering if you and Daniel were okay? I mean I know it's been a while since your wife died, but that can have some lasting psychological effects, if you or Daniel need any help, my office is always open." She smiled to him before walking away in the other direction, heading towards the cafe and having her lunch.
Officer Miles was, once again, dealing with "politics". Some survey team sent by the council. While humans were learning about aliens, aliens were learning about humans. They were conducting examinations on humans as well. Nothing unethical, just standard species examination. What Miles did not like was the sample size. "The children should not be involved. We can't trust them".
"Not my call. Politicians say we play nice. Besides, I doubt they are going to try anything. I know your worrying about your son, but believe me, he will be fine" the station manager told him, looking over some files. "Now, the new arrivals will be here soon. I want you down at the docks to meet them with the other assigned officers".
As Miles began towards the docks, a voice called out to him. It was Rachel Reynolds. "Ah, Dr. Reynolds, it's good to see you again. And thanks for asking, we are doing fine..." He noted, before heading to his post....
-------------------------
"Game on" was the rallying call. Daniel, like any sane child, hated school, but he loved Zero-G Basketball. He played it well too, moving fast like a firecracker and strong like a bull. After that was his various classes. He did some covert messing around with his teachers. Mr. Carmicheal, his computers teacher, was especially annoying. He had Digi put some rather....unique....photos on his computer.
Afterwards, he made his way towards the park. He figured his dad wouldn't look for him there.
Sat at one of the tables, a human waiter came over to her and smiled. "Afternoon, Dr Reynolds, the usual?" Rachael chuckled and gave the young waiter a nod.
"Yes, please." The guy laughed before walking back to the cafe and giving the order to the chef, her drink was delivered shortly afterwards.
Sipping on the lemonade, she watched out the large observation glass at the planet below, the beauty of the sapphire blue waters, emerald green forests and the amber deserts was enough to make any romantic swoon. But the peace didn't last long, some pro-human was giving off to one of the asari guests, prompting a response from Rachael. "Is there a problem, Mr Hunter?"
"Yeah, this alien is in my seat." The man responded. "Don't get yourself involved." Rachael rolled her eyes and stood up, limping over to the table she grabbed the man by the forearm and pulled him back from the asari.
"As one of the few doctors who have agreed to aid the other races in their intellectual pursuits, you involved me already." Pushing him away, she looked at him, her eyes filled with hurt and anger.
"Alien-lover!" The man yelled and Rachael sighed, reaching to her thigh she drew her gun.
"I dare you to say something else." The man looked down the barrel of the gun before running off.
Rachael went back to her table and picked up her glass and moved it over to sit beside the asari. "Dr Rachael Reynolds, I don't recognise you, are you part of a new team?"
"Yes, I arrived earlier than the rest because I'd like to get a feel for the base before I start learning and teaching."

Re: Mass Effect Chronicles: Gateway Station
Anyways, posting will hopefully start today or tomorrow regardless of shtuff.
If you could show signs of life, that would be awesome!
Re: Mass Effect Chronicles: Gateway Station
Renegade: Cerberus is still extremely new. It formed almost immediately after the First Contact War, so quite literally there hasn't been enough time that has passed yet to have Ex-Cerberus. You can still be Cerberus, just keep in mind the Organization is in its infancy and will be relying more on stealth, suberturefuge, and sabotage rather then up front action.
Also, don't be worried. I have at least one other person (my CO-GM Chuckles who had this idea with me) who will be joining. I also have another character planned as well. (You can have up to three Max, though I am VERY hesitant on accepting any thirds unless you keep up with posting and you make very good well detailed charrie sheets)
Happy to have you both on board!
