Choose who you are as you join Liara on her Therum expedition. Security, hired guard, fellow researcher, or something else? From biotic Asari to ex-N class operative, the choice is yours.

The shuttle’s landing struts hiss against scorched rock, settling onto a narrow plateau carved from the planet’s volcanic crust. Around you, the landscape is alive with quiet menace — rivers of lava snake through jagged ravines, their glow casting a molten sheen across blackened cliffs. Heat distortion ripples in the air, bending the horizon into a wavering mirage.

Ash drifts on the wind like gray snow, catching in the cracks of the worn outcrop beneath your boots. In the distance, plumes of smoke rise from geysers venting sulfurous steam, shrouding the ruined silhouettes of ancient Prothean structures barely visible through the haze.

Craters from ancient bombardments scar the terrain, while the distant thud of tectonic shifts rumbles beneath the surface — deep, resonant, like the slow breathing of the planet itself. The only sounds close by are the cooling ticks of the shuttle's hull and the low hum of equipment being powered up for the expedition.

Survey drones lift into the air with mechanical precision, fanning out to map the unstable terrain. Equipment cases are offloaded and stacked neatly, ready for the push toward the dig site nestled deeper in the unstable valley ahead.

There is a sense of stillness here, a fragile pause before the unknown unfolds. The path forward leads down a crumbling slope, toward the shadow of Prothean ruins that wait like silent witnesses to history.

Therum is unforgiving — but it promises answers.
