Part I

More than 100 years after the events of the prologue for Intro to Andromeda, Part I begins. Alliance second in command Nexus Showalter begins another ordinary day in his apartment located on the Citadel when Alliance authorities show up, introducing Alliance President Breslin. Breslin enters the apartment much to both Nexus and his housekeepers surprise, explaining that ARKCON is ready for it's re-launch and he wants Nexus to travel through to find out what happened on the other side. At this time, both Cassie and Amanthus are introduced and make various comments about Nexus's apartment. Breslin asks that Nexus ignores them, and continues to talk about the re-launch of ARKCON. Nexus accepts his offer and shakes Breslin's hand, adding that this may just fix the damage between the Showalter's and the Alliance by honoring Solaris's sacrifice to the Reaper War. Breslin admits both Cassie and Amanthus to help Nexus with his journey through the Ark.
