The Illusive Man sat, staring out the window of his beachfront home, watching the moonlit waters of the Pacific Ocean as they lapped against the shore. His eyes had a glass-like quality, with an unnatural blue ring around them. Everything was so clear, information came directly into his eyesight. It was magnificant.
He had much to think about. The visions. The manifesto that had come to him in his dreams. He'd touched on it, barely. He knew the dream would come again, and he would have the text and transcribe it. A dark time was coming, and it would come from the depths of space.
But the visions that were clear, they spoke to him of wonderous and terrible things. He knew what was coming.
The burnt, vaccuum blasted body presented to him by a bald woman with blue skin. The project and team he'd put together to return the body to life. Project Lazurus they called it. They were so confident. It would succeed, it had to succeed.
It succeeded. Commander Shepard, the galaxy's one, last hope. Humanity's hope. His hope. He lifted up the dossier he had put together on the former marine. It was out of date. He made a note to have Dany acquire more recent information.
The thought that they could return someone so far gone was exhilirating. He knew it wasn't just a dream. It was a vision from God. Shepard was meant to die and be resurrected, and through her would come salvation for their entire species. Immortality.
But there was danger, in the steps he would have to take. His test subjects would not be wrangled easily. The last dream had shown him this. Shepard would betray him. His most trusted allies would betray him. An asset greater than any wonder on earth would be destroyed and over something so petty as morals.
Jack Harper picked up the phone. His new eyes studied it, breaking it down to its base technology in his eyes, and back again.
Oh yes, he can see clearly, now. He placed a phone call.
