Mass Effect 1
"I must say Anderson, I am surprised I have never heard of this 'Shepard' before. A very well decorated soldier. Put him in some Alliance recruitment ads and we will have all of Earth enlisted by tomorrow."
"Well Udina, when you spend all your time playing politics with the council, I can understand how you might miss a few things. But you can take my word for it; Shepard is more than qualified for this. I should know. After all, I closely oversaw training in the N7 program when Shepard was just a Lieutenant."
"Ah! Are you sure you aren't just vouching for Shepard to fulfill your own pride? Perhaps Shepard can make up for your own failure? Hmm?"
"Regardless, I didn't choose Shepard for this. The council did. Has to be best marine for the job."
"Are you so sure? Shepard saw their whole unit die on Akuze. Could have some serious emotional scars."
"Every soldier has scars. Shepard is a survivor."
"Is that the kind of person we want protecting the galaxy?"
"That's the only kind of person who can protect the galaxy."
"...I'll make the call."

In the year ????(may change dates a bit), explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time.
They called it the greatest discovery in human history.
The civilizations of the galaxy call it...
