"As the Quarian ark Keelah Si'yah sails toward the Andromeda galaxy, it carries 20,000 colonists from several races including the Drell, Elcor, and Batarians. Along the way a routine check reveals that many of the Drell colonists have died in their cryopods, and a pathogen is discovered. It begins to jump species, then the ship's tech begins to fail, making it clear that this is no accident. It's murder, and the perpetrator is still on board. The ship's systems rapidly degrade, and panic spreads among the colonists. To make matters worse, the virus yields a terrible swelling of the brain that causes madness, hallucinations, and leads to violence. If the ship's crew can't restore their technology and find a cure, the Keelah Si'yah will never make it to the Nexus."

A sustainable population of Drell had better survive. 😒 I'm still kind of hoping the Keelah Si'yah's Pathfinder is Drell. It would make good sense. I also hope the stowaway geth programs are able to cure the illness, thus gaining an uneasy acceptance.

So who are the likely candidates for the "pathogen", who would want to wipe out the other species???? Only one name comes to mind: Cerberus.

Stowaway Geth programs? Maybe but I think/hope they are already in Andromeda
I thought it was implied that the Quarian ark had a Quarian Pathfinder from the message/scene at the end of the game???

They probably will have a (fragile) Quarian Pathfinder, but I don't recall any implication. I only recall, "All we can do is wait and trust their Pathfinder to do the job." Was there anything else that implied a species?
I still maintain that the Benefactor could be the Geth.

I assumed the Quarian sending the message was the Pathfinder and that comment re trusting "their pathfinder" was a endorsement of that but I am not betting my house on it . Also wouldn't it be The Drell, Hanar, Batarian ark if the pathfinder was not Quarian? All the arks seemed to have a Pathfinder from that arks predominant species?
My belief is that The Geth are the benefactor in cahoots with SAM.

My preorder date hasn't changed - still showing June. Maybe just the UK release moved out?

Supposedly, the Batarians are already in Andromeda, having come along with the Salarians. We don't get to see this in SP, though. The ark is quarian-made and commanded, plus it bears a quarian name. It makes sense to call it the "quarian ark". That doesn't necessarily mean a quarian has to occupy every key position. Drell make more durable explorers and warriors, physiologically. (Drell suffer pulmonary tissue damage with prolonged exposure to moist environments. Just wear a mask in that unlikely scenario. Suit-rats can't leave their suits, and can't abide ruptures.) I doubt we'll get a non-quarian Pathfinder, since the Quarian fans might whinge. Still, a Drell would make a lot of sense.

Really the Batarians are in Andromeda, was that in the books a I obviously missed it?
How about a Hanar as a Pathfinder????? That'd grow tiresome quickly An Elcor Pathfinder now that's what we really need!!!!!!

There was a bit of lore when they created the batarian MP characters.
As for the Quarian Ark, I definitely think a quarian should be the Pathfinder but I can see a drell being a part of their Pathfinder team.

Yeah, mine is still June...why would they move the UK date out but not the US one?

Particular distributor???? It often happens to us in Australia because we don't have a big enough market for it to be a priority. Hell there are US movies we have never even been produced for our region so we can't even buy them!!!!

That's true, but its rarely the case in the UK. We tend to get most US stuff at a similar time to them.
You’d think they would have a new partner ready to go before leaving the old one.
Didn't people mention that they recently got their Bioware stuff from ThinkGeek address?
So they may have a partner already; it's just that there's a noticeable Bioware lull now - there's nothing released next month, or was released month before, so it's possible that profits from current store may be too insignificant at this point to keep it open until Anthem is released/closer to release.
Anyone try to buy anything yesterday or today? My payment isn't accepted - I keep getting an error that has nothing to do with my cc account (yes, I called them).
There's no phone # to call for issues, only a "help desk" which hasn't responded yet.
I was wondering, is there anyone on twitter who would start asking the relevant people about amazon.co.uk changing the release date from June to September 4th? I don't use it, but I think we deserve to know if we're getting ours delayed when it was meant to release alongside the US version.
Edit: I sent the delay information to Kotaku and IGN as a news tip. Both of them enjoyed tearing into ME:A when it released. I feel a little dirty now. But if they put an article up, then maybe we'd get an answer that way.

It’s possible likely that the UK site has simply updated the release date ahead of other sites. I fully expect to see the US release date change. This specific type of thing (unsynchronized updates) often happens. There’s nothing unusual about it. Give it a week or two.

Just got my Amazon email update a second ago that the release date had been moved to Sept 4th in NA also.
Well, shit...
Is it too much to hope for that they have something up their sleeve for ME:A in the next 5 months? The book has been in play since the end 2016...I wonder what caused the delay
