MASSIVE EFFECT.

Commander Shepard opened his eyes to be blinded by the ceiling lights in the Normandy's sickbay.

Shepard: “Mmmaaa EDI, dim the lights.”

EDI: “Reducing sickbay lights, Commander.”

Dr. Karin Chakwas: “Glad to see you’ve pulled through, Commander.”

Shepard: “Ahhh, how long- w - wha- what the hell happened?” Commander Shepard was still a bit woozy. He couldn’t help but hear an echo from his voice as his head throbbed, and something else in his voice was a bit off that he couldn’t put his finger on. Shepard attempted to sit up in bed, but something on his chest felt hefty, and there seemed to be something fluffy and red draped over his head.

Dr. Karin: “Don’t try to push yourself, Shepard. You need to stay in bed until we

have a clue what it is we are dealing with.”

Shepard: “What do you… ahhh… what are you talking about?” Shepard tried to pull off whatever fabric was on his head, but found it wasn’t coming off and was pulling at his scalp with every yank. He threw off the covers, but found that the weight was still there. As he shifted himself so his feet could touch the ground, he found that his feet were hanging a little too high form the floor. Now that he sat up facing Dr. Karin Chakwas, he just noticed his crew was there: Ashley, Garrus, Liara, Tali, Jacob, Miranda, Jack, Mordin, Samara, Kasumi, Thane, Grunt, Legion, and Kelly. Each one of them was wearing a peculiar expression as they gawked at their Commander.

Shepard: “What?……….. WHAT?!“

Garrus: “Um… Shepard… is a… well I’m not an expert on human anatomy… but is

this kind of thing… normal?”

Jack: “Is everything all there, you know the important parts?”

Shepard: “What the hill is every…? Now that Shepard was more aware, he finally realized his voice has drastically changed. It still carried confidence and authority, but it definitely was not his, or a man’s for that matter. Shepard’s hand moved up to his mouth in astonishment, and he laid his eyes on his now much more slender, smoother hand. He raised both hands to eye level and turned them from front to back again and again. These were definitely his hands. He recognized old scars on them since before he was a commander. They were feminine, but they were worker hands. Shepard let out an audible gulp and dared himself to look down to see what on Earth these smaller hands were attached to. He did not have to look all the way before his eyes met two very well-defined orbs on his chest. He was wearing the same undershirt he put on before the last mission, but it now hanged slack over his much more slender frame. The two distinguished mugs on his chest pushed the shirt out until it just hung over the nipples, and he could tell they were breasts. His boobs were a C cup, maybe near a D cup. If Shepard was not so shocked, he would ogle his new delicious cleavage. He hopped off the bed on to wobbly knees. When he stood to full height, it was evident he has lost a good 6 inches as everything looked taller. Shepard turned to the mirrors and had to walk to it until his face was only inches away to believe what he is seeing.

Commander John Shepard was a 6’0” tall, strong structured faced, short black haired man; but this person looking at him through the mirror was a 5’6” tall, rounded faced, shoulder length redhead, with much fuller lips, and porcelain skin. The only thing that he recognized was that the woman in the mirror had the same eyes.

A moment of panic struck him, and he quickly turned from his crew to pull open his boxers. He didn’t have the patience to run to a secluded part of the ship. Dread filled Shepard’s very being because what he was hoping was there wasn’t, and in its place was something he always enjoyed looking at from a different viewpoint.

Shepard knew he had to be strong for his crew, but when he turned to face them, the cool, stable face he thought he was wearing looked more like he was holding his breath after dropping something on his foot.

Grunt: “It’s gone.”

Ashley: “What did you Cerberus bastards do to him!?”

Miranda: “US? This was not from us putting him back together. “

Legion: “Shepard Commander did not change until after he came in contact with the Prothean beacon in the last mission.”

Shepard: “That’s right… we were on a … mission.”

Tali: “Yes; Shepard, you, me, and Legion wore told of there be
