When I initially read this piece, I was a bit lost but didn't care. Even without knowing anything it was a good enough story to stand on its own merits.

Between then and now I finally played both Mass Effect games, then decided to pop back by and see if I'd missed anything. I started re-reading this piece and all of a sudden a big light bulb goes off in my head and I go "Oh, now I know this!"

So, do the geth, or any of the other races from the ME universe exist in the UF universe?
