Summary
V'lana Avesti commands a Romulan Warbird that finds its way into the Mass Effect Universe and into a mystery that will cross the lines between time and universes before the story ends and will involve multiple universes and characters. This story is a reposting of my story on AO3 and book one is complete there. This is the first part of a multi-part series belonging to what I've nicknamed the "Raptor-verse". I will also be bringing in my other stories in the series, "Transitions" and "Universes in Collision" here as well. All of these stories can be found on AO3. Fair warning: here are a lot of slow-burning long term plot threads in this story, so be prepared and please...be patient...I'll try to make it worth your while! :)

Summary
Here begins the voyages of the Lafayette-class recon destroyer ISS (later USS) Belladonna, her captain, Zsuzsanna (Zsa-Zsa) Rosza; First Officer, Eliza Flores; and crew as they delve into a mystery that will lead them to multiple universes and even a bit of time travel. This is part of the Raptor-verse series although there will be no Mass Effect crossover for a while yet. The story begins just as Mass Effect's story starts with Shepard discovering the Prothean Beacon on Eden Prime so we've got a long way to go before V'lana and the Gallena pass through the portal into the Mass Effect universe setting the stage for the eventual collision between the two universes--and possibly many others.

We also find out what REALLY happened to Ashley on Virmire!! This is a turning point in the story as we're now going to be spending a lot more time in, for lack of a better term, one of the Star Trek universes, and we'll be doing a lot of switching between the two universes before everyone finally meets.
