Alternate Start: Femshep

It had been months since the Alliance had recovered Commander Shepard's body, and awakened her. Now, Shepard was stronger, more powerful. Her biotics were amplified. Her constitution, endurance, dexterity, agility, strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, and thought processes were all enhanced, right down to the cellular level.

Shepard had done much to rebuild the post-war state of affairs, even becoming humanity's councillor following the deaths of all immediate successors. And now she was chosen to lead the Council, the New Council! The New Council held Liara as the asari councillor, Primarch Victus made his son Arcturius become the turian councillor after refusing it himself, and Mordin Solus was the salarian councillor. But the old trappings of the Council couldn't stay the same, and so the New Council had new council seats, The batarians were invited alongside the volus, elcor, quarians and krogan.

The new batarian councillor just happened to be their last highest ranking military Leader, the krogan councilor was Urdnot Bakara. The new quarian councillor was Admiral Han'Garrel, and the volus councillor was Din Korlak. The elcor councillor was as of yet undecided, but they would soon reach a decision. But today Shepard would be getting a surprise visitor in the form of her lover!
