History Fanfic / PsiEffect

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Ilena is a textbook {{ditz}} and suffers from AttentionDeficitOohShiny, but don't forget that underneath that is a [[GravityMaster biotic]] commando. It's worth noting that in their first fight she got a 'solid second place' in the BodyCountCompetition. (Not that anyone except her was keeping score...)

* NamesTheSame: Melding (Asari communication/sexual act) is not the same as a mind meld (PsychicLink) or the Meld (Gene Mod). This gives Ilena some confusion about the nature of the relationship between humans and sectoids.

* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: As in canon the Citadel races use a small number of gene therapies. Thanks to the MELD, Humanity makes them look like [[UpToEleven rank amateurs.]]

Psi Effect is a Franchise/MassEffect and VideoGame/{{XCOM}} crossover by Cap’n Crysallid, set approximately twenty years before the events of Mass Effect’s First Contact War and approximately a hundred years following the events of X-COM: The Long War.

Praised for its immersive and organic storyline, memorable characters, and world building; Psi Effect chronicles the events of the Bataran Civil War and Ilena’s role in it as the commanding officer of ‘Eclipse’, a front and proxy organization for Human black ops and X-COM.

* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Humanity have more or less completely replaced the Ethereals, including using spaceships derived from the saucers and battleships, and all their {{mooks}}.

* OrgasmicallyDeliciousL Ilena certainly thinks so about human food. The cover art on Fanfiction.net is her holding a Tolberone, and she got into a fight over ham with one of Shepard's younger relatives.

-->''"I think they're arguing over who gets to kill you," the quarian murmured.''

* CombatMedic: Chakwas is officially the teams field medic and at one point takes on a half dozen Batarian soldiers in CQC. Alone. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome She doesnt consider it a valid excuse for losing the target she was tracking. Or even worth mentioning for that matter.]]

* DoubleEntendre: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "What happens in Uranus, stays in Uranus."]]

** Annabelle Shepard has a daughter named Hannah, who is the XO of her ship. In MassEffect proper that was the name and career of Spacer Shepards mother. Hannah's son John is revealed to be alive, though he is still a child at this point.
