Aftermath discussion thread (OOC)

When it's my turn, I'm going to have my character arrive shortly before Sar does (in fact, I'll mention her arrival near the end of my post). Unless General or Laughing Man's changes things significantly, I'll likely ask about communications. You mentioned a quantum entanglement communicator. Are we assuming the triage station has it? Or are we going to have to search somewhere else and/or wait for the EMP to stop?

Also, since you're talking about the way Sar and Skyla will handle their first encounter, remember that Cael also has a reason to hate Cerberus. They killed his mother. There's definitely going to be some tension when he meets an ex-Cerberus operative.

She has painted her armor a little (I was thinking some blue stripes down the side either in paint or lights or something like that) to show she isnt affiliated with them anymore, but at a distance it could be easy to mistake her for Cerberus. There are actually a few reasons why she still wears her armor. Its linked to the drones she uses, and it would be hard to replicate on Omega (which is where shes spent most of her time), its what shes "used to" almost, it being what shes used for quite a few years and what she was trained in... I can imagine swapping from a Nemesis helmet to a normal helmet would take some time to adjust... and also its what people know her for... like if people know of a hitman wearing Nemesis armor, then the hitman changes... it'll almost like make her less recognizable, so less likely to get contracts and stuff. Since lots of people on Omega know about her (well, not her name but her abilities) its almost like she has her own brand in a sense, and the Nemesis armor keeps her recognizable and unique amongst alllllll the other assassins
Also intimidation too

Still, that would mean that practically everyone in the ME universe will either be suspicious of her at first glance, or just open fire...

I would have tried to disguise the armor, and make it sufficiently different than the Cerberus version, maybe paint the Armor in a brighter color scheme, or put the colors of whatever mercenary company on it.
I dunno, at the time of ME3 wearing Cerberus colors seems like a huge liability.

Suspicion she wont care about, opening fire... well, you wouldnt shoot a hitman youre hiring it suits her purposes, and it is out of place on earth fighting reapers... which is kinda a point, because so is she it isnt something shes used to. Shes never needed a different armor

Brighter colors wouldnt be so good for stealth though, and she doesnt work for any mercenary company although she will have painted over the Cerberus logos also, just saying.

Lastly, if you want to explore that path, there's a difference in their branch. Caelus is working with a completely different intel group and belongs in an elite unit in the army branch, while Sar works with what the Quarians and the Geth can (could, for the Geth) gather and the way THEY interpret the intel. She is also with the Special Forces, so I'd imagine 73rd Rangers versus SEAL Team Six difference? Up to you.

(If anyone has any idea, do share!)

We can figure out the specifics as we go, but that sounds like a pretty close approximation of what I was thinking. I was looking at it more as the Soldier vs Infiltrator difference, though. Sar is trained for stealth operations (if I'm not mistaken), whereas Cael is trained more for direct combat and raids. We can explore that once we've gotten the team together. I think Cael, Sar, and Skyla could have their first encounter at the station. We could run into Zahn shortly after we begin searching for the Thanix missiles.

Also, thanks for adding me to the PM.

EDIT: By the way, would you happen to know how big a turian legion is? The description for the Havoc Soldier refers to the 26th Armiger Legion as a "squad," but the impression I got from the wiki is that a legion is much bigger than a squad.
