   Summary

   Sara Ryder wakes to find her father is dead, named her Pathfinder and her brother is in a coma. On top of all this, she must navigate a strange, new galaxy whilst undertaking a task she had no preparation for. No big deal. It's not like she's got entire species expecting her to find them new worlds, delivering on the "Golden Worlds" promise that the Initiative sold them. And it's also not like she's got new aliens to deal with and Kett to kill. She can totally manage. No problem, whatsoever.

   A retelling of Mass Effect: Andromeda with heavy focus on the Jaal/Ryder romance.

   CURRENTLY BEING EDITED/REWRITTEN. SEE FINAL CHAPTER FOR FULL INFORMATION.
