> "Somewhere over the Rainbow" is the fifth story arc in the "Gone with the Sun" series, posted today.
> 
> Earlier arcs were notified in prior threads; posted stories appear below. The first was "Eternity", recapitulating the events of the Red Flash. The opening chapter of the story proper is:
> 
> arc 2, "Queen's Gambit", followed in order by:
> 
> arc 3 "Grave to cradle", 
> 
> arc 4 "Road to Nowhere", and now 
> 
> arc 5 "Somewhere over the Rainbow".
> 
> To recapitulate the earlier post's description:
> 
> The next ME apparently involves an N7 operating in Andromeda.
> 
> Mass Effect 3 came out some time back, following which I wrote a 'rationalist' novel exploring the aftermath - posted for the canonical year and a day. It explored consequences of ME3's 'red flash' from the point of view of certain characters.
> 
> As it happens, the closing lines of the last arc had survivors heading for Andromeda. Imagine my shock when the recent E3 2015 trailer, "Mass Effect: Andromeda" was issued, showing an N7 in Andromeda, obviously not Shepard but still. Hence the excerpting of the final scene as a prologue.
> 
> This latest post is Arc 5 of that story, dealing with exploration, restoring survivors, and coping with trauma. Each arc ends with a pointer to the next arc.
