My name is Rachel. Just Rachel, no last name, at least not one I’m willing to give you. I should be dead. I am dead. I died over two hundred years ago, but thanks to some extradimensional meddling, here I am. The war is won, my sacrifice led to the Alliance we have now with the Andalites. To the technology we have being added to our tech base. To the prevention of a full-scale conquering by the Yeerks. They’re still out there, watching, waiting. If they knew who I was, they would try to kill me or worse. And there’s worse things than the Yeerks out there. Oh are you still waiting for a last name? Fine. Call me Shepard.

Basically, an Animorphs/Mass Effect cross. The Systems Alliance is more than just a human government now; it encompasses Human, Hork-Bajir, Andalite and some Yeerks. In all their travels, the Andalites had never encountered a system with Mass Effect technology, at least not until the Charon Relay is opened in Sol. The humans of the Alliance manage to fuse ME tech with Andalite tech to create something rather absurd.

Why Rachel? Because Rachel Berenson is dead. Everyone knows Rachel Berenson is dead. Technically so are Jake Berenson, Tobias, Marco, the two New Animorphs, and Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill. Or are they?

Cassie's probably long gone, even if the morphing tech extends your lifespan, its 21xx, not 20xx. Humanity and pals have been together since 2003. This is a very different Earth that the Reapers will run into. With some very different abilities. The question is... what exactly to write?
