No, she was protecting Marines who were going to stop the asteroid from crashing into Terra Nova. She was protecting her entire planet. Her decision to do so is one reason some of my Shepards are ok with not letting Balak escape, even if the hostages will die. My real point here was that Balak knew someone was sabotaging things. Did it make any difference at all if she said "marines" or not? She could have made up any lie. She chose to be quiet. Yeah. I always thought that was crappy of her. I doubt it would have saved her brother but shit say anything. Honestly even the truth would be fine. It’s not like she really knows anything about you at this point. I get they were going for her protecting the planet over her brother but it made no damn sense how her keeping quiet did that. If she said marines would he have magically made the asteroid go faster. I sacrifice the hostages every time. He’s attempting to murder millions that kind of crazy on the loose will kill far more than the handful of people in that room.

What is contradictory is how little war assets you lose if he sabotage Alliance ships, kill soldiers in the hospital or disrupt ship's supplies. I thik it's very few points, like 10 or lesss, and also you don't gain the remains of the batarian fleet, which are 100 points if I remember correctly. You can convince Balak to give you what's left of his fleet even after all the sabotage. I usually use renegade convincing but sometimes I go paragon. I have yet to shoot him ME3 but I have done all 3 options in ME1 - let him go to save the hostages, shoot him/send him to prison, and kill him outright. The latter 2 both result in the hostages being killed but no sabotage in ME3, only stolen supplies.
If I remember correctly, if you let him scape to save the hostages, he stole medical supplies, food and so on.
If you sacrifice the hostages to stop him and after that left Balak to die instead of killing him, then he will sabotage things. The renegade/paragon produce the same result, but the renegade option is extremelly enjoyable. "Go ahead then, shoot me and the rest of your people die". Balak's reaction is great. Oh yes, btw. Cestis Shepard continued her adventures after defeating Saren and being blown into oblivion by the Collectors. A colonist sole survival, she chose to be a infiltrator.
Then ressurected by Cerberus and after listening that ill lame-ass rant of the Council with Legion and Kasumi, which led to be also disappointed with Anderson, she started her journey by: 1) Recruting Mordin with the help of Miranda and Legion (don't remember most of what he says in the missions, so it's being extremelly fun hearing again) 2) Recruting Garrus with the help of Legion and Mordin. Garrus was happy to see me and since I'm planing to have a cross-species liason with him, Cestis was also happy. When spliting the team I left Legion to help him. He found the choice strange, but "would not be picky about someone staying to help" in his own words. 3) Found that Kelly Chambers is trying to hold my Garrus in her arms and tell him everything will be alright. Who the heck that varren-lover think she is? Told her to cut the drama down and keep her hands out of my Garrus. Bitch. 4) Collected the Hammerhead, finally. Did Cerberus known that something called "armor" exists and has the function to protect your vehicle? Gosh, they are just obnoxious or plain incompetent? 5) Miss the Mako. Actually forget the Mako, give me a Tomkah!
5) After some scenic route around the galaxy finding a dereletic vessel on a planet called MSV Stevanico, fighting some mechs that malfunctioned due to a bugged VI, I arrived on Illium. And whom I find there? Yep, Conrad Verner. Strange guy. 6) After helping him because he blown up the cover of a cop and she was arrested, he promissed to do something good to compensate. And he lived to his own words, the guy opened a orphan shelter! 7) Met a very cool bartender who also is a Matriarch. Asked if Matriarchs are not wise counselors to the asari, which she replied that she is, only her advices are given on a bar. Well, who the heck am I to question such wisdom? Buyed a drink and suddenly everything was allright and lovelly. Including the bartender. Damn, that stuff was strong! 8) Remembered there are some maps to be buyed that unlock good stuff and on the route to buy them I helped another asari to marry a strange krogan who recites poetry. POETRY! Never knew that krogan could do that, but hey, I'm trying to find a way into a Turian, so again... who am I to judge? Will go ask Mordin later if he has some medical advice about the situation. Health first, people. 9) Then... I saw her! The one! And she felt the same way!!! Garrus my love, you are lucky the devs are a bunch of pricks, otherwise my dear... it would be "threesome or the highway, take your pick"! It didn't worked out with Kaidan and Liara, but who knows, maybe the third is a charm? Well, Cestis has a lot of bunch of things to do. I need to help Kasumi, then recruit a krogan baby - what is the deal with the writer and krogan children? - and some lunatic biotic that only wear belt stripes for covering her breasts. In a prison! Full of male inmates! How smart, hun?! Then is time for Horizon.

Became a Spectre and did all the quests on the Citadel I can, I think (did not reach level 13 as someone else in this thread did, so I might've missed something). Next I'll be getting Liara and making choices. Like who I'm going to romance. Hinging on Liara, as always, but I've been thinking of doing Kaidan instead. I've only ever done two female main character - male romances in Bioware games, and I was impressed with both of them. Liam was, in my opinion, the most realistic romance Bioware has ever done and was ultimately very cute. Solas was just... I'm still angry. That's what made it so impressive I guess, haha. Anyway, as I left the Citadel I immediatly noticed that I do have all DLC installed. So, yay.

So I've played almost the entirety of ME2 since last posting here. Logan Shepard decided to romance Jack, which I've never done before. I really like the romance so far. Logan Shepard is a bit of a paragade, and he had the option to recruit Morinth, but I just couldn't do it. I've never done it before so I want to...but I just don't have the stomach to betray Samara. I'll have to watch a video of it instead lol. Logan did everyone's loyalty missions except Zaeed and Kasumi's; if they survive, he'll get to those later. It's more important to go get that Reaper IFF, which is what he is currently doing! Side note: I also haven't done Overlord or Lair of the Shadow Broker yet either, which I usually do before the Suicide Mission. I'll do them after the SM even if it doesn't make as much sense. I always do Arrival after the SM though.

Curious moment... Cestis Shepard goes to Haestrom to recruit Tali, taking Zaeed and Legion with her. Reegar didn't liked when he saw him, but I explained he was on our side. He didn't believed, but what the hell. I'm commander Shepard, my body my words carry punch. Also Legion is the only one with a damn sense in the whole game, because after opening the window hatch and Zaeed opening his colourful mouth, he is the only one with the right idea, recommending orbital fire support. But what caught my attention was a thing Zaeed said. When descending the ramp right at the mission's beginning, you hear Zaeed and Legion complaining about the sun draining the squad's shields. Then Zaeed talks a second time, and I will quote, "Even Caleston wasn't this bad. Fight from the shade". Bioware take it up a notch with us? Zaeed in ME1?

Brandi Shepard played some matches in the Armax Arsenal Arena, doing a bunch of challenges requested by strangers on the Extranet that she never met in real life.
I stopped playing when the Unusual Scores challenge mission activated, because I did not feel like playing anymore. I had not played in nearly a week, so I was playing bad and not having any fun, so I figured I would stop before I hated the game.

EVERYTHING THAT MOVED looked like that. Enemies too. Damn near made the game unplayable. Luckily I found a fix, though it makes the lighting a bit weird.
Apparantly it's caused by my.... CPU. You read that right. Not the GPU, the CPU.

AMD, right? Yeah, I had an AMD when I first played ME1. Used to piss me off since this happens twice in the game. Next upgrade brought me back to intel. There is a workaround for this but I can't remember what it is offhand. I'd need to research it.

Brandi Shepard played a few more matches in the Armax Arsenal Arena, helping the arena staff locate the problem that was causing some unusual scores. It nearly killed her when the final match glitched, but she survived and set a new score record.
Then Brandi went to go finally check out the Turian platoon that crashed. They had been shot down by Reapers when trying to sneak in to disarm a Cerberus bomb, and because Brandi waited so long, there were not many of them left.
And then when Brandi went to go help them disarm the bomb, they revealed the bomb was not Cerberus', but an old Turian bomb that had been planted after the Krogan rebellions. Oops. Anyway, Brandi took out a bunch of Cerberus goons while the Turians disabled the bomb.

After talking to her and dissing her abilities as explorer/researcher... ... did some research of Codexes Next: I think I'm gonna head out to the Armstrong Cluster, near Skyllian Verge, we've got reports of Geth sighted there!

Jaysen has been to worse places than Solcrum. Nice view of Notanban, the gas giant it orbits. First thing we found was a mercenary base. Unless the geth have taken up new employment this was actually their base. Killed them all and there was the weird song that played. Tali said it was an old quarian song and she was surprised they would be listening to it. She briefly wondered if there was more to the geth than she knew. I thought maybe we could use it against them. Also found some geth data files. Tali wanted them. Handed over a copy. NBD. I got to say, I never knew how much junk people have left around the galaxy. Some of it's good, but really. Who sends a pod full of upgrades for weapons and armor? And what the hell is it with the matriarch using the galaxy as a dumping grounds for the stuff she wrote? Did she think whatever she wrote was so great that everyone everywhere had to read it? Asari are weird. Bangable but weird. Eletania is a gorgeous planet. Yet, Hackett has me here looking for a freaking data probe! Is the First Human Spectre really being used on a fetch quest? It's not like I'm doing anything important, like trying to stop Saren and save the entire galaxy! This is the view, in case you're wondering. I came across this strange thing. A floating, reflective orb. I guess it's a Prothean ruin. Or something. Seems kind of small. What was interesting was that there was a slot in it for something. You know what fit? The stupid thing Sha'ira gave to me. I mean, wtf. Freaking asari. What happened is that I got these strange visions from prehistoric Earth. Cavemen, flying saucers, all that shit. Seems obvious the Protheans had been to Earth and interacted with humans. The real question is about why Sha'ira had this thing. And why is something to do with humanity on Eletania anyway? Creepy and weird. Giant orb. Back to the data probe. Found the probe but the data module was gone. There were dead monkeys around it. Goddamned Space Monkeys stole my data probe! After checking out all these Space Monkey colonies we ended up at a mine. Who the hell knew Space Monkeys were miners? The data probe was there. No monkeys were harmed in the retrieval of this data probe. You know what was harmed? The geth who were lying in ambush trying to get the data for themselves. Fucking geth. Can't rid the galaxy of them soon enough. OK, finally made it to the second location Saren was known to have gone. Feros. For some reason the view when flying in reminded me of Cloud City. Um, what's with the matching armor? Did somebody not get the memo that I was wearing white? Is it after Labor Day? Are we in the wrong colors?!?! We land, some dude greets us, says he's taking us to his leader and is immediately killed by the geth. The colony itself is on its last legs. The colonists are also weird. Really weird. When a geth attack comes Leader says "Protect the heart of the colony". Who says that? Wouldn't that be the people? Whatever. I got them food, water and power. The Prothean Skyway was kind of cool. Yeah, broken and shit but that's not bad for being a 50,000 year old ruin. It was full of geth but the Mako kicks ass. Then found some survivors. They all worked for ExoGeni, who had sponsored the colony. Sketchy people, at least Corporate Head. The guy is a dick. There was someone there to point me in the right direction. She also asked me to look for her daughter at ExoGeni HQ. I didn't have high hopes but I had nothing to lose. Yeah, so, that lady's daughter was still alive. She told me about something called the Thorian and that it might be why the geth were there. Then I got access to files. The Thorian is underneath the colony. "Protect the heart of the colony". Well, shit. The Thorian is a plant that can control minds. We saw two people who were definitely fighting it. Worst thing is that ExoGeni knew about this thing and what it did and "tested" its abilities on the the colonists. I hate fucking corporations.

Brandi Shepard talked with some of her squad on the Normandy, then on the Citadel.
Then she went to go find Dr. Garneau....
... and then I started dying a lot. Just was not my day I guess. I quit before I threw my controller. I'll try again tomorrow or later in the week I guess. I may restart the mission to get different squadmates. I was using EDI and James; I may restart to use EDI and Liara.

Jaysen is still on Ferros. Headed throughout ExoGeni HQ. Killed lots of geth, some krogan and freed the one lady. Brought her back to her mom. Corporate Head was threatening to kill off the colony to "repurpose" it. I repurposed him...for the worms. Mom didn't like it but I didn't care. Wrex had no problem pointing his shotgun at the guards. We learned the Thorian was controlling the colonists. To free them, Mom gave me gas grenades containing high-test weed killer. On the way back, came across these creepy looking things. The almost looked like plant versions of husks except. They're not colonists so I won't waste my weed killer on them, though it does kill them. Saved all the colonists but Leader blew his brains out before I could do any weeding on him. I tried. Did find access to the Thorian. I is some freaky looking thing. I wouldn't say it looked like a plant but, maybe a plant bug. But giant. With support tendrils holding it over a bottomless pit. Why was it suspended by tendrils over a bottomless pit? The world will never know but I intend to drop that sucker down there. So anyway, came up to the thing and it, I don't know, vomited an asari. Do asari come in green? Well this one did. It was also working for the Thorian. It bitched blah blah blah people suck. Wanted me to worship it. I just wanted whatever it gave Saren but turns out Saren betrayed it. Guess those support tendrils are going down sooner rather than later. The asari came after us and burst apart like the plant husks. Guess it wasn't a real asari after all. Or else asari are even weirded then I thought. Either way, more of them came whenever one died. Finally the sucker dropped into the pit. That's when out of some pod on stuck to a wall came a garden variety blue asari. Shiala. She served Benezia, which meant Saren. And I also learned Saren's ship, Sovereign, allowed him to control minds. Shiala got some kind of Prothean memory type thingy...I don't know, was supposed to give me insight into their language, culture, whatever. And that would make sense of the beacon. Shiala gave it to me, nothing made sense, she said it would take time. Then she asked if she could make amends and help the colony. Why not? Might keep ExoGeni off their backs. I fucking hate corporations. Back on the Normandy, we had a group meeting. Nothing much to talk about but Kaidan reminded my about Benezia's daughter. I tried to talk about everything with the Council but the turian shit-talked me and Joker accidentally hung up on them. The guy's an absolute dick. This is why I don't call them! Found out Ash likes poetry. More flirting with Kaidan and, damn, he snapped the neck of a turian with his biotics. The guy was his biotics instructor. Raw recruit vs dickhead turian. Starting to think Garrus might be the odd one out and that turians are dicks by nature. I got a priority message from the Council - just the asari and salarian. That's telling. They told me there might be something on the planet Virmire. Benezia's daughter or Virmire? Benezia is dead. Shiala spilled about anything Benezia had to tell us about Saren. Not sure she's useful to me. Agebinium seems to be Krypton. If you look up, it looks like, well, whatever the hell the name of the sun where Krypton was. I'm here because the Alliance lost a probe a few decades. With a nuke attached. Because why not? Funny how the probe ended up in a mine. Not suspicious in the least. It's a trap, right? Yeah. Some asshole led the attack on Elysium that was repulsed by the Alliance. He figured killing off the First Human Spectre would help him regain his status. I just had to disarm the nuke and then kick his ass. Motherfucker stole my Mako! It's okay, Jay, it's okay. Shoot the bastard in the face and move on. So I did. I came upon the MSV Worthington. Everything was powered down except life support. There were also traps so someone was around. Found a guy on life support with no brain activity. Lots of logs talking about some crazy chick. Then an attack by Crazy Chick followed by her death. Turned off the life support for the guy and called in the Alliance to take care of the ship. Chohe had another damn biotic cult! WTF! I'm biotic. Kaidan is biotic. Hell, even Wrex is biotic! We're not crazy! Or at least not crazy enough to join a cult. The shit thing is the biotics drugged some people and sent them into the fray. We had to avoid killing them and somehow managed. Glad it was Ash and Kaidan with me instead of Wrex. Did have the pleasure of removing one more thresher maw from the galaxy. Cheers to Chohe.

Kaylee wondered again why her nor her squad didn’t shoot Kai Leng on sight on thessia. She then found out about a leviathan that indoctrinated humans and wisely marked the planet for planetary bombardment. Only an idiot would actually go down there That mission on Luna you also skip?

Jaysen is on Trebin for Reasons. After finding maybe a turian Eagle Scout badge - don't think they're Boy Scouts anymore - I took down yet another thresher maws. Starting to think Dingaling spread them around the galaxy while on her book tour.
A survey team was missing from their camp. They were investigating alien tech. You just know it's going to be a shit show and they're all going to be dead. The nearest thing is a nearby mine. Guess I'll check it out. Kaidan said that they were machine cultists and turned into mindless fanatics. They were husks! My suit thingie even said so but you just needed to look at them! Did see a thing that looked like whatever the geth were worshiping on Feros. Oh, and these people were ExoGeni! Goddamned bastards. Another room had dragon's teeth. Want to bet ExoGeni was studying them like the plant husks?
Some scavengers really wanted to take us on because of some probe they found? Really?! Worst part is that none of us could get into it. Probably could have used Tali. Could go back for her but I've already got so much shit on me that I have to turn it into omni-gel.
On Nonuel I found this modular structure with two dead mercs - the best kind - on other side of a crate. They'd shot each other over it. Best part was that all that was inside was Dingaling's writings! Maybe they were huge fans and this counted as memorabilia?
Found a "Warlord Outpost". Sounds like a place where I get to shoot things. Unfortunately, the door was locked. I knocked but no one was home. Bummer.
This was the most boring plant ever. No husks, no thresher maws, no geth, no living mercenaries - nothing. I should suggest it for colonization because - weather aside - it's the safest damn planet it the galaxy!
The MSV Ontario looked promising. A bunch of biotics holding a politician hostage. Don't know which side I care less about. Based on Udina and the Council, I'll side with the biotics. They're L2s and I know Kaidan would like to see things go okay. Poor bastards.
Other than the ones who attacked us on sight, I was able to defuse the situation. Saved the asshole who had denied them reparations and convinced the biotics to stand down. He said he had no idea of how desperate they were and I made sure he knew he wasn't doing his job. This better be brownie points with Kaidan.
Another ship, this one the MSV Cornucopia. It's dead in space but with no distress signal. Inside were husks and dragon's teeth. Logs said they'd gone to the Perseus Veil and picked up an "alien artifact". That means the geth are continuing their murder spree.
There was a distress beacon coming from Nodacrux that we decided to investigate. Plant husks! Either there's another Thorian in the galaxy or ExoGeni. Whichever, I'm sure it will lead to dying. Officially calling this the worst planet to drive on EVER. This needs to go into the guide book. It's not fit for ordinary driving. Even the Mako is tossed around like it's in a bouncy castle! Which one of those stupid white mice designed this place?
Finally found the ExoGeni facility with stupid plant husks. Chief Bitch was stuck with, of all things, some mercs. She wanted to pay me to keep quiet. I said no. Hilarity ensued. She and her mercs tripped and fell...permanently.
Chasca. Three buildings around. First up was "Civilian Structure". Husks outside of it. Husks inside of it. Next up is "Science Facility". Dragon's Teeth and a few husks lurking around. Lots more inside. Also a terminal linking it all to Cerberus. Next is "Civilian Structure, Part 2". Dragon's Teeth but no husks outside. Nothing more there than what I've already seen. This planet sucks since everyone was a husk.
What the hell is an Unidentified Space Facility? Rachni. It's like the universe keeps trying to tell me "You fucked up, bro" because I freed the queen. Then I heard the logs. Cerberus brought them there. Binary Helix had the queen. Hmmm... So I armed some explosives and blew the place to hell.
Virmire is one of the most beautiful worlds I've ever seen. Gorgeous oceans and waterways, cute little crab things, perfect for a vacation. Too bad it's teeming with geth. AA guns were keeping the Normandy from landing but me, Kaidan and Ash would take care of them. We took care of the guns and headed toward an STG team.
Finally got somewhere once we reached Captain Kirrahe. He said Saren built a base. Also, there were tons more AA guns keeping the Normandy grounded. Worse, though, is that Saren was trying to cure the genophage. He had his reasons, which was to use them to overrun the galaxy. I was starting to lose Wrex here and Ash just wanted to kill him. I preferred to talk it out.
Then came the plan. Plant a nuke at the breeding facility and hightail it out of there. Kirrahe wanted one of us to go with his team. Kaidan and Ash argued over which one of them was going. Ash made the point that Kaidan was better equipped to arm the nuke so I sent her with them. Now that I had Wrex calmed down I figured I'd bring him along. He'd see that the facility and cure needed to be destroyed.
We took out a bunch of things to make it easier for Ash's team. Then we got into the facility. Salarians attacked us and that was messed up. Indoctrinated was the term both Shiala and Benezia used. Came across some asari scientist who had been experimenting on the indoctrinated. She gave me access to Saren's lab but she was a liability, especially given that she talked about the subtly of indoctrination. I killed her. Dumb ass asari didn't even try to put up a barrier.
Inside Saren's lab there was a beacon. Fully active but undamaged. You could tell because there was a control panel. I didn't even hesitate to touch it. Between the Eden Prime beacon and the cipher it was sure to help out somehow. I got visions. They did make sense this time but were showing me places I didn't know. It released me. This time I wasn't unconscious for half a day.
On the way out there was a hologram of Saren's ship. Only it turned out to not just be a ship. Sovereign was an actual Reaper. It talked about how it created the relays and basically gave the galaxy all of the tech it used so that it could come along every "cycle" and kill off everyone. It said we couldn't understand its motivations and that was no exaggeration. It did say it had no beginning or end but that part seemed unlikely.
We got to the bomb site. The Normandy brought in the nuke. And that's when things went to hell. Having to choose between Ash and Kaidan about who lived and who died. In the end, Ash knew better than me. She knew Kaidan had to be protected while arming the nuke. I'm not sure I could have let him die anyway but at least it wasn't my heart making this decision. When we saw the nuke explode from space all I could think of is that there would be nothing left of her. She was a hell of a marine despite command holding her back. She taught her sister how to fight. She loved poetry. She believed in God and if there is one I hope she's safely in its arms right now. Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams, you will be missed. It won't be the same without you.

On Nonuel ... This was the most boring plant ever. No husks, no thresher maws, no geth, no living mercenaries - nothing. I should suggest it for colonization because - weather aside - it's the safest damn planet it the galaxy! There are actually two Thresher Maws on Nonuel.

I still have Therum to go but will stop by the Citadel first. Is this one of the Helena Blake planets? If so, I'll be back for that second thresher maw. Jaysen really hates thresher maws and batarians since he's a Colonist and Sole Survivor.

You can't specialize in ME1, but if you import a 50 level and beyond character it shouldn't be too much of a problem. But what happens in ME3 if you skip the mission on Luna?
The conversation with EDI I mean.
I don't remember if it changes anything (spoiler ahead)... ...but if Grunt didn't survived the SM, the krogan that replaces him is Urdnot Dagg, the scout you saved on Tuchanka when doing Mordin's loyalty mission.
I killed him to see if this change anything in ME3. Did Jack mission with Legion. Damn, the guy really thinks like a machine. Which he is, but oh well...
Containers for smuggling kids? "Sanitary conditions aren't good", he replies. Kept kids in prision cells? "The conditions are less than satisfactory", but other than that no problem. Damn!
Also did Tali loyalty mission. She is not loyal, I delivered the evidence to the admiralty board and in the process enraged Xen and Gerrel (Koris on the other hand was very humble).
Hey, they wanted my help right? Then leave me out of the political BS, specially because they weren't too concernd about my ass on the line, taking shots from endless waves of geth on the Alarei. Now I just need to take extra precutions to ensure she survive the SM.
No, no, no, nothing so noble about it. Want to hear her begging for forgiveness when talking to me in ME3.

Jaysen thought the elevator ride down to the Citadel was too quiet without the banter between Ashley and Kaidan. Garrus just doesn't have the same vibe. Interestingly, Udina finally acknowledged I was doing my job. He said I was getting the job done! High praise indeed. Or maybe he didn't have the guts to talk shit to me after losing Ash.
Automated distress beacon on Edolus. Sounds like another geth trap but I guess we'll see. Not a geth trap by a thresher maw trap. Cerberus was behind Akuze. Want to place a bet that this is another one? There were lots of dead marines around the beacon. They were Admiral Kahoku's men. I let him know about it and he did some investigating. It was Cerberus and he said they were a top clearance black ops Alliance group that had gone rogue just a few months ago. Now he wanted me to deal with them. Those marines deserved better so this is now a priority. But first...
The MSV Fedele was owned by a Dr. R. Heart. Garrus thought it was suspicious so I brought him along to check it out. The things were found were definitely those plant husks. They looked like them and exploded into plant bits like them. We found the guy, it was a black market organ dealer that Garrus had been after, and Garrus put a bullet in his brain. Now on to Cerberus...
Kahoku directed me to Binthu as a possible location for Cerberus. Research facility #1 had mercs and baby rachni, the ones that explode. I don't understand why a race would be composed of exploding babies but whatever. Science station had mercs and plant husks. Research facility #2 had a couple of mercs, a rachni and Admiral Kahoku's corpse. Curiously, the rachni had not harmed Kahoku. Instead, he had needle marks, doubtless from the same kind of experimentation that had been done to Cpl. Toombs.
The trail led to Nepheron. Found them. There was a Science facility with a bunch of mercs. Not much else except some files that were fast deleting themselves. I saved what I could to my hardsuit. It was all encrypted so I couldn't read it. Kahoku said Cerberus was trying to create a super soldier. That would explain the thresher maw venon, the husks, the plant husks and the rachni. Whatever didn't kill us made us stronger. They went through a hell of a lot of trouble to do that and killed far too many humans. Ash, wherever you are, I hope you saw us avenge one of our own. I'll avenge you soon when I take out Saren.

If so, I'll be back for that second thresher maw. Jaysen really hates thresher maws and batarians since he's a Colonist and Sole Survivor. Nonuel and Chohe (or rather, the systems where these planets are located) are unlocked when you have enough Paragon or Renegade and then Hackett gives you the Paragon or Renegade-only mission. Nonuel is the planet for the Renegade-only mission (negotiate with the warlord). Chohe is the planet for the Paragon-only mission (kill the terrorists while drugged scientists run around).
