Multiverse Desperado A JumpChain Fiction Chapter 26

Chapter 26: The Reaper War Begins

“Feron what's the location of the Council!?” I exclaimed, slipping on my armor and priming my pistol.

“The Salarian dalatrass is on the Citadel with Councilor Udina. I tried reaching the asari leader but she's gone completely dark. Her last known location was Illium. The Turian Primarch is currently on Palaven leading the Turian Navy against the Reaper assault on their system.”

“How are the Hellfire Cannons holding up?” I asked, adjusting my SMG and double checking my pouch of thermal clips.

“They're taking care of most of the ground troops but the artillery bombardments are keeping the turians pinned.” Feron dashed past me, clipping a shotgun and an assault rifle to his person and joining me to my shuttle.

Where The Hell Have I Been?

Hey there patrons.

Don't worry, I haven't fallen off of the non-existent edge of the earth (damn Flat Earther idiots) and I am in fact quite alive.

The best way to describe this is that I've been much busier than normal. The site I'm on is pushing for more in-depth comprehensive material, which means more long-form articles, which means more research which means less time for me to faff about with off the cuff opinions and cute little fanfiction projects that I put WAY too much thought into.

But the good news is the JumpChain is still ongoing. For those who have been reading from the beginning, you should know I'm building up to the finale of Mass Effect.

But I have a bit of a rule for myself: Do not go over 30 chapters. Cuz at that point I might as well just rename all the proper names and pitch it as a legally dubious novel.

But since Mass Effect is such a large-spanning setting, I'm effectively making the final chapters jumbo-sized to make sure closure is felt and all the set pieces and heroic moments are out of my system with no regrets.

Also, My Thoughts are going to be much more sporadic despite many topical opportunities passing me by.

For example: Black Panther, Avengers 3, God of War, Detroit (and David Cage as a whole), and Warframe. All had windows of opportunity. All passed.

But as I said, I'm still here. I'm just throwing myself more into my work. Which means I probably should unwind a bit more.

Thanks for reading to the end, and do not stare directly at the bouncer on the way out, he has social anxiety.
