Fail Shep sets course for the Omega-4 Relay. Jack comes up to his quarters while the Normandy is en route. Fail Shep proceeds to cure all of her problems (including Rape as Backstory), with the power of his penis.
That last sentence was sarcasm, though the ME2 Jack romance has always bugged me a little bit.
Again, the last sentence of the first paragraph was sarcasm.
The Normandy uses the Omega-4 Relay without incident, but once she is on the other side, she is attacked by Oculus Drones. Fortunately, Fail Shep upgraded the Normandy's armor, so no one is harmed. One Oculus does manage to break into the cargo bay, but Fail Shep, Miranda and Grunt fight it off.
The Normandy passes through a debris field. Sadly, the Normandy's outdated kinetic barriers are overloaded from so many collisions. The drive core vents energy into engineering, vaporizing Legion. Another Oculus attacks, but Fail Shep fights it off again.
The Normandy clears the debris field only to come face to face with the Collector Ship. After a prolonged battle, the Normandy defeats the enemy despite having obsolete guns, but Thane gets Impaled with Extreme Prejudice by some debris that was flung about by the Collector Ship's attack. The Normandy makes a crash landing on the Collector Base.
EDI manages to scan the Collector Base. The colonists are being held in a central chamber that is accessible through two corridors. However, both of these corridors have blast doors blocking access to the central chamber. There is a vent leading to the central chamber, and it is large enough for a humanoid to fit through, but the Collectors will kill whoever goes in there unless they are distracted. Garrus heads through the vents while Fail Shep, Samara and Grunt head down one corridor to distract the Collectors while Miranda leads the rest of the squad down the other corridor.
Garrus manages to get the blast doors open, but can't get the blast doors closed quickly enough once everyone else gets through and takes another rocket to the face. This time, he doesn't recover.
The squad investigates the central chamber and finds Kelly and the rest of the crew in the middle of getting melted down into some sort of genetic slurry. Only Dr. Chakwas and two random colonists are saved.
To be continued in part 2.
