Isekaied to Mass Effect concept, imagining all the different possible scenarios, the people you could run into—the awkward situations of a human clearly wearing what'd be considered extremely vintage clothes and you know, just hanging around.

Then, there is the problem of having zero credits to your name. All the money you came with is basically worthless. But that's fine, that's easily solvable. Just get a side job at any place for a night or two, then go to the casino and exploit the Quasar machines using the same spreadsheet guide someone posted on the subreddit that we all surely have saved to our phones, I can't be the only one who p—

But then, if you do get a job, they'll need a form of government identification or something to pay you online. You don't have any ID, passport, driver licence, or even a birth certificate.

Okay. Fine. Just get a shady under-the-table job that will get you paid in hush-hush money without all the needed government papers—except, you don't even have an omni-tool to receive the payment on. Let alone open doors with and buy things legally.

So you can only get paid and pay for things in cash, physical pre-paid debt cards of credit.

Capitalism would've been the greatest boss for Isekai you to face, wasn't it for the one major flaw in this whole plan.

The biggest elephant in the room.

The translator.

... Or lack of it.

You're not going to understand shit, I hope you're curious enough to wonder what a talking jellyfish without a mouth sounds like because you're about to find out.

All possible interactions with aliens will have this gaint language barrier in the middle. If you're lucky, you stumbled upon humans, but even then, they could speak any of the thousands of languages human have.

You're just gonna be awkwardly nodding left and right, not knowing what this turian who suddenly sat next to you on the bench wants, or what that asari woman who crossed the road to talk to you is saying.

I don't think anyone would ever buy your story of being isekai-ed, even if you try to soften the blow by claiming to be a time traveller, best case scenario is mental institution, so you'll be taking that secret to the grave.

Hopefully, you don't accidentally agree to sell your left kidney in exchange for peanut shells, a threesome with two krogans, or joining a hanar cult.

Now, assuming everything goes right and lady luck smiles your way, now you have forged/bribed/stole your way into having "offical" documents, a decent amount of money to your name, and you've developed very keen understanding of the art of bullshiting, guessing, and vague body gestures, you have successfully assimilated into the posh human population of the Citadel in Mass Effect.

The real question is. Would you keep enjoying your average but comfortable lifestyle, find a cute alien partner to settle down with, and just have a good time in general.

Or would you—you a player of Mass Effect who has finished the trilogy and is aware of the canonical timeline of events in this game—try to alter the future? To do something about the looming threat of the reapers?

Just to clarify, no, you're not Shepard. You're you. Whatever you are now is whatever you'll be there. Shepard does exist there, and all the characters do. You get yoinked into Mass Effect just around the start of the game, aka the first geth attack on Eden Prime.

Post is set for a week, let's see how it goes...

[miggylol]

You show up for your first day at Copyright-Free Magic School. As you're going through orientation, you're informed that all new students get a school-assigned familiar that they are responsible for housing and maintaining. The staff member assures you that your assigned familiar is appropriately chosen and reflects you in some way.

Spin this to find out yours. (Remember, you are responsible for maintaining this familiar in your dorm room.)
