Dammit! It's okay, though. 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. 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). Oh, I see. I think I did the Paragon one. Damn, wish I could kill the warlord, too. Er, I mean, I always end up killing the warlord when I have that mission.

Brandi Shepard: 1. Dr. Garneau started channeling his inner Leviathan and ran away. Brandi gave chase, and the Reapers started dropping in troops. After killing a few dozen baddies, she caught up to Garneau who then blew himself up. And then it turned out he was not Garneau, but some other dead guy was Garneau. Feaky.
(Took me another 2-3 tries before I finally beat this mission, once because a Reaper drop landed right on top of me. I ran away and died, but at that point no matter what I did I was going to die anyway.)
2. Then it was back to Bryson's Lab, where they tracked down his daughter Ann. Extracting Ann from a Reaper-infested territory was crazy, but Brandi was getting used to it. (Also, having better squadmates helped in this mission; wish I had them in the previous mission.)
3. Ann helped them locate Leviathan's location (she nearly died). When they went to investigate, a strange pulse caused them to crash. Then a Reaper showed up and dropped in more troops*. Brandi took care of them, then took a diving mech down and met Leviathan. She convinced Leviathan to join the war effort.
* The fight ended very strangely. Normally you know the fight ends when Cortez asks you to bring the mech over. He never did that because Liara and I think some other Reaper troops (at least a Brute?) just... disappeared. I thought I was going to have to reload, but I brought the mech over and the cutscene started so it I did not have to reload.

I restarted the game cause I wanted a different look. Also ended up picking a different class, infiltrator, because it's the only class I've never taken through the trilogy. Set up: Next I'll be getting Liara, then probably explore the galaxy a bit.

Recruited Legion and completed the Suicide Mission. Shepard fully upgraded the ship and only two crew members weren't loyal - Kasumi and Zaeed. Sent Legion into the vents with Miranda as first fire team leader. Then it was time for Shepard's girlfriend Jack to protect Shep, Thane, and Samara from the seeker swarms. Garrus led the second fire team. So far, so good. No casualties. Oh wait, oops, half of the crew just got processed into goop. Sorry, Kelly, Gardner, and Gabby! The remaining crew needed a protector to lead them back to the ship. In a moment of total spaciness, I sent Kasumi...who ended up dead. She ended up being the only casualty. Sorry, Kasumi! Guess I'm not getting the Locust lol. Took Jack and Samara to fight the Terminator and achieve a glorious victory! Now it's time to finish up the DLCs, and I may or may not have started a new ME1 playthrough, because why play chronologically when you can go backwards? Eleanor "Ellie" Shepard is my latest ME1 Shepard. She's an Adept, which I've never really played in ME1 before and so far having a ton of fun lifting everything in sight.

Cestis Shepard continues her adventures... Finally checked with Garrus if he's ok, we sure as hell need to blown off steam in my quarters, in which he replied something about popping a heatsink, I think. Don't know, I was lost in my thoughs looking at that damn sexy face with scars. After clearing things with Tali, meaning "only talk to me in the event of a ship's explosion, Joker is about to get spaced or the entire crew is about to suffocate because EDI forgot to recycle the Normandy's oxygen, otherwise go FU yourself", I head to Illium again to recruit our space monk. Which seems to take things too literally, I think. I'm guessing when Jesus said "If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also", he not meant "throw your old life away, became a ruthless sadist and justify it in the name of justice and order and also kill your own daughter". But since I'm not a religious person, maybe I'm misinterpreting something. Crap, I left Ashley on Virmire, she could clear this type of things for me.
After "dealing" with her daughter - I like Liara, but asari are too crazy, holy hell! - I stopped and payed an young quarian called Kenn his tick passage out of Omega. Look, it was cheap, only a 1000 creds. I even cleared things out with Harrold, meaning "left the quarian alone or I will break your legs", but WTF? It's been ages since I helped him and the kid still didn't sell enough things to get out of the station! And people say quarians are masters of salvage, cutting deals and making money. Right... It's the economy, stupid. Well, after that I need to help Cerberus to deal with a problem in one of their bases, somethign they call "Project Overlord". Why am I working with these guys? They are morrons and incompetents, almost everything they touch explode or go wrong or go batshit crazy. I want my Alliance back! It seem the stupids were toying with geth trying to find ways to "peacefull control them". Yeah, right. Next thing they will probably build an army of them and unleash on the galaxy. Which BTW, is what Admiral Xen wants to do, she even sent an email telling me the quarians will control the geth again and then will have a powerfull army to rival even the turians! And they call Mikhailovich "warmonger"?
But moving on, how Cerberus chose to do things? Hacking a geth? Threatening a geth? Trying to make contact with them and see if they can get information from one of them? Contracting a quarian for a truckload of money and try to learn how the geth work? Of ourse not, why would they?! Let's take an autist, which is the brother of the scientist responsible for the project, transform him into a cybernetic nightmare and plug him in the geth neural network.
A single mind trying to interact with more than a billion ones at the same time. What could go wrong? After freeing the poor soul, I sent him to the Ascension project.
Finally one last stop before getting the reaper IFF, which will immediately trigger the SM mission, since I already have Legion with me from the beginning.
I need to help Liara storm the main Shadow Broker base. The reasons? Revenge, paying debts owned, power to gain, etc. The usual ones. Oh, and free candy of course.
One thing I notice after defeating the Shadow Broker is the Illusive Man dossier on his archives. Seven females for sexual liaisons in a week? Two of them at the same time? Damn, what the heck those reapers put on your body? Super aphrodisiac steroids?!
Well, at least I've collected another model ship. You know, the reward after a long day of work.
PS: Funny thing. IRL my brother is a hobbyist who build models, mostly airplanes from WW II and fighter jets from the 1960's to 1980's period (he don't like the newer jets, says they are boring to build).

Jaysen went to Magivon to kill some criminals. It's really amazing that no one ever found them considering my map marker says the destination is "Syndicate Hideout". Not too bad. "Crime Lord" is dead, which is good.
While looking for the next guy, I check out the planet Jartar. The batarians found the corpse of a once-living starship. Reapers = living starships. Leviathan of Dis = same???
Anyway, the target planet is Klensal, which also features "Syndicate Hideout". This hideout happens to be in a mine. Could you pick a more dreary place to live? "Crime Boss" is dead.
Amaranthine is dark. Yeah, there's cloud cover, but it doesn't explain it. Light from the sky but no sun visibility. Helena Blake, surely Crime Head #3, is not in a Syndicate Hideout but a Science Outpost! About time one of them knows how to hide, even if the names of their buildings are really, really unimaginative. Helena thought she was just taking over and that the crimes she dealt with would be minor, such as gambling and smuggling. It hadn't always been that way and I wasn't convinced that it would stay that way. At gunpoint, I convinced her to give it all up. We'll see. I'm not afraid to come back for more.
After some mercenary on Sharjila. It was an asari slaver. She had - yep, she's dead - a sister who's a diplomat on the Citadel. On the way to see her, something pissed me off. News of Kahoku's dead said it was "natural causes". Do we really need to be covering up for Cerberus? Worse, he had a wife and three kids. Fucking Cerberus.
You can tell I was in a good mood when I confronted this asari bitch. I say bitch because, had I not already killed her sister, she was going to try to manipulate me. However, aside from money, I got an a preferred list for the latest asari mods. I'll keep an eye on her either way. I have a feeling we'll meet again.
Nothing left to do now but look for Benezia's daughter. That meant going to Therum. I wonder if we'd gone here first, maybe we'd have found something sooner, something that could have saved Ash.
Joker said there were stranger readings. Can't imagine anything stranger than Sovereign, the Thorian or a rachni queen. If there's something worse out there, not sure I want to see it. Had to get through a lot of geth before finding ourselves in front of another damn mine. Always creepy stuff inside of them - rachni, geth, "machine cultists" and nukes. So, Kaidan, bathroom walls = the Protheans came up with the same ideas for tiles? And an asari trapped in a bubble behind a force screen. If this is Benezia's daughter she's definitely not a threat. Probably should have grabbed her sooner because it doesn't sound like she'd have sided with Benezia. This girl was insane, convinced I was a hallucination but talking to me anyway. Maybe I'd be better off leaving her after all. Nah. I'm not a dick, not unless it's earned.
I was able to use a mining laser to clear a path underneath the barrier. We got this Liara T'Soni out but the laser triggered something. An unstable volcano had been woken up and we needed out ASAP. We just had to get through some a Krogan Battlemaster first. Oh, and have the Normandy pick us up before BOOM!
Back on the Normandy, Liara discussed studying the Protheans. Then we brought up Reapers and she was confused. Throwing out the Eden Prime beacon and the Cipher had her all kinds of confused. And now the part where she came in handy. She did her little mind thingie like Shiala but with a difference. She didn't show me anything new but did let us know the beacons were meant to warn the Protheans about the Reapers but it came too late. She was also able to identify the planet Ilos as somehow connected to the Conduit. We knew from Benezia that Saren had been looking for the Mu Relay. Now we knew what was on the other side. I might just like this crazy chick after all.
My report got some traction. Forces were already converging around the Citadel but Udina wanted to see me. And here's where the ball dropped. They wanted nothing to do with Ilos. I asked to have me go in alone, saying I could be discreet. The response? I detonated a nuke on Virmire - which was a plan that the STG came up with but typical of the turian dickhead to ignore. They also ignored my visions, which Liara saw and the Councilor or any other asari could have if they gave a shit. They locked down the Normandy and I knew it was over. Saren would use the Conduit to open the relay and let the Reapers pour through. Civilization as we knew it was done.
I threatened Udina but I wasn't just pissed. I was demoralized. Kaidan helped pull me out of it. We were on the verge of a first kiss until Joker relayed a message from Anderson to meet at Flux. He had a plan. He was going to hack Udina's terminal to remove the lockdown of the Normandy. Joker would have to be ready to take off immediately before anyone noticed what Anderson had done. We might all face treason but better that than annihilated by the Reapers.
Back on the Normandy, things were getting tense. Kaidan and I took our relationship to...another level. Felt way better after waking up in the morning together. And then we were at Ilos. It was an impossible drop to make where we needed to be but landing too far away was pointless. At least, it was impossible for anyone but Joker. He dropped the Mako down exactly where we had to be, despite the lack of space. He's a hell of a pilot, even if an asshole.
Fought a lot of geth and stuff. Then there was an interesting thing. Geth armatures are hackable. I took control of a couple and they turned on the other geth. Sweet. Found a hologram that was all messed up. Scrambled image and staticy words - all in Prothean, so only I understood it. I did mention something about hiding in some archives. Maybe it was here. It also mentioned the Conduit so we were on the right track.
Got access to an underground bunker. There were definitely archives here but also something else: stasis pods. The pods were all powered down so there were a lot of dead Protheans here. Morbid thought but a lot could be found out about the Protheans by studying their corpses.
We ran into a barrier. We either had to turn back or take the elevator right next to us. At the other end was a Prothean VI called Vigil. Its image was just as screwed up as the hologram but it was otherwise fully functioning, if on the last dregs of power. We learned a lot but mainly that the Conduit was a backdoor to the Citadel bringing us out on the Presidium. This think is really going to make Kaidan's teeth tingle. Turns out the Citadel is actually the relay itself. It was designed to take out galactic government before anyone knew what was happening, which is what happened to the Protheans. The Conduit was created by Prothean scientists. More than that, they hacked the keepers. The keepers were servants of the Reapers and always opened the Citadel arms. The Protheans prevented them from responding to whatever signal they were given and that's why Saren needed to use the Conduit. Vigil also gave us a data file that would allow us to temporarily take control of the Citadel systems and stop the arms from opening.
We had our goal. The barrier came down and we raced toward the Conduit. Time was of the essence. Where barely made it through the Conduit before it closed. I can tell you Makos were not designed to go through mass relays. It was trashed. For all the complaints of my driving, I never broke the Mako, even when tumbling down from the top of a mountain into a deep valley.
Had to travel through the Citadel, then outside the Citadel, the back into the Citadel Tower, take control of the Citadel, fight Saren, save the Council and gain humanity a place on the Council, Captain Anderson filling the gap. For my part, I still intended to look for signs of the Reaper arrivals. Vigil made it clear that indoctrinated agents had played a part in things with the Protheans and it was likely there were some out there now. I'd continue banging Kaidan because, fuck it, Spectre authority.

So been thinking a bit on a new playthrough (currently only have ME1 installed together with the Re-Calibrated mod (I'll be reinstalling the other two as I go along) I plan on naming my new Shepard Cameo (technically Cameron but the r and n got lost somewhere along the way ) for some reason all my Shepard's end up called after gemstones or jewelry related my first Shepard was named Jade (female), second one was Rubeus (my only male) then Diamond (female) and Saphira (also female) Cameo is also going to be female
Cam is probably going to be a re-run of Saphira's playthrough...though technically all my playthroughs are re-runs from my first one She'll be a Colonist+Warhero (from all the backgrounds I love the Colonist side mission the most)
but for now I'm pondering what class to play as usually I end up picking the biotic related classes (Though I've only ever finished the entire trilogy as a Vanguard (love Charge+Nova combo)
however, this time I wanted to try something different, and I'm dubbing between Engineer and Infiltrator so for those of you who have tips on the two classes I noted above I'd appreciate it due to having lost my profile (for the umpteenth time) I don't have access to any bonus powers so I won't be needing any tips on those though
in the meantime I'm going to ponder what she'll look like (for some reason my characters all end up looking the same *sighs*)

Since you are using MERecalibrated, did you also use EGM for ME3? And are you planning to import Cameo Shepard to ME2 and ME3?
If so I definitely recommend the engineer, EGM revamp the combat system and allows you do to very fun things. Using Vanguards for punching Banshees and Brutes instead of using Nova, using your adept as a precise sniper, Engineers being a god powerhouse, the Sentinel being almost invincible at the expanse of his power's damage and so on.
The possibilities are endless. If you don't mind playing more as a support soldier instead of being in the center of the action in ME1, that is. In ME2 and ME3 they "corrected" this, sometimes because of the complains, but I think more because usually your squadmates are damn useless in ME2. Ok, I'm being unfair, but you know what I mean. In ME1 the engineer is good for stripping defenses and neutralize targets, then your tankers finish them. Which means you usually will be playing with Wrex and Ashley as squadmates until you have Liara (or not, Wrex is very good also, but he don't have singularity. Keep this in mind). Since the game doesn't have the restrictions of ME2 regarding powers, meaning the biotics or tech attacks do full damage regardless of the enemy defenses (something that MEA also implemented and was a very good decision), you can do whatever you want. Or you can change strategy and go for the all risk/all reward approach and pick a shotgun! Then you can be in the middle of the action, just be carefull, the enginner in ME1 is not the most durable of the classes.
You will also appreciate your shotgun when facing enemies in those endless dungeons mines or outposts in the game. The Infiltrator in ME1 plays more or less like the one in ME2 regarding sniper rifles: pick them from the distance. Since you don't cloak like in ME2 and ME3 sadly you can't chose a shotgun and go for the cloak and flank them approach. Unlike in ME2 however, you can first strip or debuff their defenses and then use your assassination ability. Funny you mentioned your names for your Shepards, I usually name mine from the gods, goddesses or demons/demoness. I have tons of Shepards called Hestia (goddess of the Earth), Athena (greek) or Minerva (roman), Hecate, Medusa (which is paragon, btw), Erzsébet (the original hungarian name of Elizabeth Bathory), Circe and the current one I'm playing, Cestis (a female Jin En Mok, beings that existed before the creation of the universe and God himself).

I do plan on doing a full Trilogy run of Cameo's story, so yeah...I also plan on using Recalibrated for 2 and 3 (once I figure out how to properly install them without breaking my games ) in 3 I am planning on using the EGM mod, along with a few others that I found interesting, but I'll see about those once I get there
...I think Wrex'll be my buddy this playthrough, I'd rather not take Liara if not needed (generally my ME1 squad consists of Kaidan+Garrus)
and I'm comfortable being a support character in Mass Effect...generally my characters in games tend to be ranged characters (archers, mages, that sort of thing)
the only exception being my Fire Emblem Awakening character who's a melee+magic unit (yes, I have a pattern )
I must admit it's been quite a while since I've played Mass Effect at all, I did a ME1 playthrough at the start of this year after a 6 year break of not playing them (husks gave me literal nightmares at the time, preventing me from playing)
I tend to play on Casual, so survivability is usually not much of an issue for me (I do always have to be careful with that Krogan from when you recruit Liara though...that guy is ruthless) but yeah, I can always grab the shot gun for some extra damage (despite not having the training for it) I know I can unlock bonus powers with cheats but I'd rather not use to many cheats (says the person who cheats constantly when playing Sims )
it's funny because Mass Effect is the only game series where my characters have a naming pattern, I have/had a friend on DeviantArt who'd also name their characters after deities in other games I tend to be a lot more fluid when naming my characters, though I do tend to name them according to their role in the story or their personality examples being my current Warden Narah (which according to some sites means 'wolf queen'), and my FE:Awakening character is named Mystra (goddess of magic from D&D) I named her that way because at the start of the story the PC is a mystery to the rest of the cast, and Mystra sounds like mystery...so...yeah...I'll shut up now

Oh, finished the SM mission. It was years since I played ME2, most of the time I play ME1 and some ME3. So I didin't remembered all the steps of the SM and lost Thane by mistake. Forgot that Miranda, even loyal, can't hold the biotic bubble in the long walk. Talk about being perfect, hun? My goal was to leave only the squadmates that can also die in ME3 when they re-appear in the game. The only one I could not left to die is Garrus, for obvious reasons. Nepotism, sure, but what the hell...
Funny how ME3 changed the dynamics of the SM, you can have A LOT of unloyal squadmates now. Also the mission is even more easier, depending of what you are planning for ME3.
Shame about Kasumi and Grunt...

Jaysen thought...you know what really sucks? Dying. Sucks bad. Waking up didn't feel so good, either. My memories about it were vague. We were on the Normandy SR-1 when a ship attacked. It was like three giant, elongated rocks with a propulsion system and weapons. Kaidan told me Joker wouldn't abandon ship and that he wasn't leaving without me. Had to pull rank, no matter what I felt about him - or maybe because of how I felt about him. He needed to do an evac while I went for Joker. In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have bothered. The deck was littered with dead crew and I had no idea whether or not he was actually alive. He was. I had to haul his ass out and drag him to an escape pod. I got him in just as the enemy ship was coming around for another shot. I knew I couldn't make it so I hit the button the close and launch the pod. As for me, I was shot out into space, oxygen leaking from my armor. I blacked out as I approached the atmosphere of Alchera which was probably a good thing. Who wants to feel it when plummeting about 200 km/hour to go splat on the ground?
Despite that, I woke up. Vague memories of people, maybe doctors around me. A shitload of pain. You can't even imagine it. Fortunately, I blacked out again. When I woke up again it was to the sound of a woman over a PA telling me to move. The room was on fire. I was in some weird black and white outfit with a logo I didn't recognize. My armor and a gun were in a cabinet, which was good since LOKI mechs started attacking. This pistol was different. It had clips instead of heat sinks. Not sure how I feel about that. Heat sinks could overload but I didn't have to scramble to find... thermal clips? I think that's what that woman was calling them.
Whoever was guiding me knew exactly where I was and where I needed to go. She was also apparently fighting the mechs on her own. Must be a hell of a fighter. What I do know is that I found some logs. One said that I was showing signs of neurological activity, like maybe I wasn't before. The other said they'd spend over 4 billion credits to patch me up. Who has that kind of money? It sure as hell isn't the Alliance and the Council would never do it.
Came across a biotic who seemed so somehow think I knew what was going on. He did say I was dead. That's fucked up. And two years later? Shit. The Alliance declared me dead and Kaidan...shit. Can't think about that now. The mechs were hacked and we needed to take them out and escape. Once the current batch was down I made this guy, Jacob, tell me what he knew. He said I wasn't a clone and that they'd used major tech to bring me back. Place was called Project Lazarus, which I guess is fitting. Kaidan, Joker, Chakwas, Liara, Tali, Garrus and Wrex survived but a lot of servicemen died, including Pressly. Fuck! The woman guiding me is Miranda. She was project leader on my resurrection so she'd have more answers. Lazarus was entirely devoted to bringing me back. I can't even wrap my head around that idea.
We found this guy, Wilson, who was a scientist that had worked on me. Suspiciously, he was in the security wing. That sounded really strange to me, and even to Jacob. We set the aside for the moment because Jacob wanted to tell me who was behind Lazarus. Cerberus. What the actual fuck! I fought these guys! They killed Admiral Kahoku. They killed a lot of marines. They killed my entire squad on Akuze except Cpl. Toombs. They experimented with rachni, husks and plant husks. There's nothing good about them except... something Kahoku said. They were trying to create a super-solder. Me. They wanted me to be that super-soldier. But why? Couldn't anyone fill that role? As much as I now wanted to shoot everyone I still had to get off of this station.
As we moved along to the shuttle I learned I could do something different. I meant to rush one of the mechs but it was like I was moving at super-speed. When I hit the thing smashed. What the hell is that? Maybe I'm not exactly the same.
When we ran into Miranda the first thing she did was shoot scientist guy in the face. She also knew he was the enemy. I liked what she did but not who she works for. I don't know how I feel about all of this. Logs said I was supposed to come back exactly the same as I was, including the same morals. That meant they didn't want to brainwash me into following them. Shit shit shit!
We went to another station where I was to meet the Illusive Man. I'd heard rumors that he'd headed up Cerberus but nothing concrete. I assumed he was done for when I took down Cerberus two years ago. I guess not. Either way, it wasn't really him. It was a hologram, meaning he was afraid to meet with me face-to-face. Smart, I suppose, because I don't know that I'd have let him live.
Now for why he brought me back. The Reapers. Something was abducting human colonies. Entire colonies. TIM didn't think it was the Reapers themselves but maybe their indoctrinated servants. Given that even by the time of my death the Council came to believe the geth were behind Sovereign, I could see why he'd want me. The Reapers were swept under the rug as the real threat. TIM wanted someone who was not just a believer but had also proven able to defeat one. It made sense but I didn't want to be here. I was going to go to the Council either way. I had to at least try to convince them.

Now it's time to head back to the Citadel, get some more Spectre gear and then explore the galaxy.

So I've (finally) started up the playthrough of Cameo Shepard Colonist, Warhero...Engineer wisecracking and easily pissed off but with a hard of gold
I kept struggling with an appearance for her, until I showed a screenshot of my previous Shepard (Saphira) to a friend of mine who said 'why not remake her?' so that's what I ended up doing what she looks like in case people forgot about Saphira's looks, which is possible since it was a while back So far I've finished Eden Prime, recruited a merry band of misfits (Tali, Wrex and Garrus), and exposed Saren for the lying snake he is. Cam also solved some minor disputes on the Citadel as well before departing in search of information about why Saren is after the Conduit and whatever that has to do with the Reapers
We started with the recruitment of Asari archeologist Liara T'soni, daughter of Matriarch Benezia the latter who allegedly works for our dear friend Saren Cameo also got the feeling Liara had a fan-girl moment when she told her of the 'vision' the Prothean beacon on Eden Prime had burned into her brain
so now we're going to go around the ship for some chats with the crew, making sure everyone is happy and tomorrow...we'll see where we'll be heading next

So I'm currently doing the Bring down the Sky dlc and found something out the guy (Simon) you meet after shutting down the first fusion torch (the one who almost kills Shep), finally figured out who voices him our very own Brian Bloom aka. Varric was listening to the guy talk and finally it hit me they had the same voice actor
aside from that I've also done a few more side quests and took down my first Thresher Maw on this playthrough oh and unlocked a few more achievements again, so that's fun

Varric Brian Bloom with the most incredible eyes I've ever seen in my life? Dusty on some soap opera 30 years ago and also in Oz? No, I have no idea who he is.

I didn't know you had it in you
I just find it fun to figure out if I've heard voice actors before, it's one of the first things I do when I have a new game and seeing as I haven't played Mass Effect in almost 6 years, it's like playing again for the first time
currently I'm on Noveria, dealing with corporate corruption and a certain Asari Matriarch...along with Liara and Wrex

Jaysen went to Freedom's Progress with Miranda and Jacob. My first priority was to find survivors, if possible. Miranda was already trying to challenge me but I know this is my show. She'll deal or I'm more than happy to throw her out the airlock. With this new Charge thing I've got I'd take her ass out before she knew what hit her. We land and it's eerily quiet. No people, food still on the tables, no damage. It's like they all got up and walked away. Could it be indoctrination on a mass scale? Then came an attack by LOKI mechs. No way those things took down a whole colony. Then, lo and behold, a group of quarians with Tali in charge. What are the odds? She was there looking for another quarian who was there on Pilgrimage. She said he was probably behind the mechs in an effort to protect himself. Okay, sure, but two places with attacking security mechs? Seems unlikely but whatever. We'll see. Tali's team and mine split up. I went to find the missing quarian. However, the people on Tali's team tried to get to the guy first and Tali told me to hurry. And then the game crashed.

Yes, I did it! Found the save in which the result of the very first conversation between Joker and Liara on the Normandy is this one: At least now when Joker talks about how you hang up on the council in the first game the conversation actually makes sense! If only this type of thing happens when you talk with Khalisah al-Jilani at the embassy... I've never tried to punch her before, why she replies "not this time you military thug"? The weird part is if you pick the paragon route she acknowledge this, reacting differently if you punched her before or granted an interview in past games. And it's not a bug, the renegade route only have one outcome.
Yummy...going to Palaven to pick up my Garrus.

Yesterday I finished up Noveria, killing lots of things and releasing the Rachni Queen that won't come back to bite me in the ass later...right? ...Eh, whatever
Afterwards we went and made our usual round with the crew, talking with people Garrus and Wrex both gave me their personal quests, and Tali gave the prelude to hers
So...Kaidan thought that Cameo was interested in Liara (apparently being nice equals being attracted to someone), though Cam made it clear that she wasn't later Liara thought Cam was interested in her...and apparently had searched the extranet for Cameo's background and...other things (yeah that's not creepy at all) so Cameo made it clear that Liara was not on her radar and that she in fact was interested in Kaidan, which saddened Liara
today I did some side missions, wrapping up the few I had left on the Citadel, among which the Asari consort one ...seriously, what's it with Asari and being all touchy feely? also the lack of ability to shove them away is...well... Cam tried to wrap her head around why the hell some random person was hugging her and touching her face (she likes her personal space thank you)
We also helped Talitha, a girl who'd been taken from Mindoir when Cam's parents had died, after talking to her Cameo was able to give her a sedative to help her get better
--
I've made a little head canon on Cameo's name...she was born as Cameron, but when her parents died on Mindoir and the Alliance found her she insisted on being called Cameo the reason? Her parents names started with R (Rebecca) and N (Nicholas), and she felt those letters had died just as her parents had. The only people aware of this are Captain Anderson, and later Kaidan and Garrus (along with a few other select people Cameo would tell her name to)
-- Tomorrow I'm going to wrap up a few more side missions before heading to Feros (my second to last main world aside from Virmire) I wanted to give a try to Pinnacle station, but since it doesn't have any real impact on the later games I decided to leave it out.

Out of all the backgrounds I think Colonist and Earthborn are the saddest, the first one because you knew your parents but they died, and the second one because you never even knew your parents and don't even know who they were or why they abandoned you (my head canon for my Earthborn Shep's is that their parents died in the First Contact War, seeing as Shep would've been 3 years old at max during that time it'd make sense for them not to remember having any parents)
