The Young Estate

The Young Estate is Jeffrey Young's home. The house is very Japanese & Chinese influenced and architectural based.

The home was originally a vacation home for the Young family, they later then moved into it and decided for it to be their normal home, Young describing that he enjoyed the peace and tranquility it provided away from the modern-Earth. The home carries close to all post-modern artifacts, not conforming into the regualr modern civilization which would consist of tall buildings. It carries most original life before technology advancement.

The Young Estate is featured in Part 1 of Downfall, serving as a temporary base for the new crew of the future faction-to-be. The commanders arrive with Alyssa who must crash land near the home after engine failures from attacks by Reapers. Alyssa, unsure if Young still holds up in the estate tells them to go check it out.

The commanders search the house for Young only for him to find them first, pressing a pistol to Ebrown's head before Solaris turns around to be alarmed. Young lowers the gun and offers them to his house. He makes dinner and invites Alyssa inside. It is discovered that Young and Tara have been living in the home since they left the Ulyssey, Tara's father passing away before their arrival. The home is a safe-zone, being out of sight from both Cerberus and the newly arrived Reapers. Young expresses caution that the Reapers will find them soon, and that they need to find a way to the citadel to get off of Earth. The crew makes the house a temporary base to rest at before moving forward on their mission, they spend a day getting to know eachother, ending it with dinner.

If viewed closely, the house contains many artifacts explaining Young's way of life and past life. It can be inferred that his wife had some sort of Japenese/Chinese heritage, sharing Young's race in their daughter. The house contains pictures much seen on The Ulyssey, such as Young standing with his wife holding his daughter, the only thing besides the home he claims that he has "left" of his family. Other things rest inside the house that describe Young and who he was, his life still much a mystery.

Fall of Young Estate :

Not long after the former crew of The Ulyssey re-united under the Young Estate, Cerberus was attracted by the crash site and smoke, invading the home. Fire was quickly set to the kitchen and spread into the vents and into Young's room, quickly spreading out into the home. Cerberus raided downstairs, shooting and wounding Alyssa, Tara was trapped below the study by fire, shooting cerberus out the open window. Young took up his shotgun and defended the commanders as they made their way downstairs, providing support fire. They soon cleared out the house, finding Tara, regrouping her with Young and giving them Alyssa, telling them to evacuate the home. Solaris and Ebrown soon found themselves trapped on the balcony of Tara's room, Ebrown made his way up to the study, which was engulfed in flames to retreive Young's family portrait, as Solaris got his Alliance lab photo. They slid off the balcony and met up with the crew, hijaacking a cerberus helicopter with Alyssa's grappling hook. Both returning the photos to Young, who was extremely relieved and astonished. All escaped in a helicopter heading towards the Citadel, watching the home burn in flames as it collapsed, dozens of cerberus helicopters flying above for backup, Reapear whails are heard in the distance as Young says "God bless those who stay on this planet" just before they leave Earth.
