Mass Effect 2 - 1/44 - Prologue

"Prologue: Save Joker:
The game opens with a conversation between the Illusive Man and Miranda Lawson discussing the outcome of the Battle of the Citadel. If you imported a character from Mass Effect, the conversation will reflect the choice Shepard made regarding whether to save the Citadel Council. If you created a new character for Mass Effect 2, the default decision is that the Council was lost in the course of the battle.

The next scene cuts to the SSV Normandy. In the wake of the attack on the Citadel, led by Sovereign and Saren, the Council has dispatched Normandy to clean up the remaining geth. Shortly after the Normandy emerges in the Amada System of the Omega Nebula, it detects the approach of an unknown ship.

The unknown vessel attacks with a beam weapon that immediately cuts through the Normandy's kinetic barriers and armor, crippling the ship and breaching the hull in several places. Shepard issues an evacuation order, but a squad mate — either Ashley Williams, Kaidan Alenko or Liara T'Soni, depending on romance and Shepard's decision on Virmire or the gender of a new character — tell the Commander that the ship's pilot, Joker is reluctant to leave. After convincing Kaidan/Ashley/Liara to abandon ship with the rest of the crew, Shepard must head to the bridge and convince Joker to leave as well.

Prologue: Awakening:
This is the second mission of the prologue. It begins right after completing Prologue: Save Joker, and it serves a dual purpose, providing a basic combat tutorial and introducing field mission concepts. This mission situates Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect 2 universe as a Cerberus operative with a new team.

After the destruction of the Normandy SR-1 and death of Commander Shephard two years previous, Shepard's body was recovered by Cerberus, who spent the time rebuilding Shepard into a cybernetically-enhanced symbol of humanity. After the opening credits, which show Shepard literally being rebuilt by the Lazarus Project, Shepard awakens on an operating table at the Lazarus Research Station to alarm bells ringing, as the station's personnel come under attack from their own security mechs. Although alone and under-equipped, Shepard is guided by the station's commanding officer Miranda Lawson via the loudspeaker to safety."
