So here is one that baffled me:
"A worker was lost in space during repairs on the Nexus hull. The victim’s name has been withheld until next of kin in the Milky Way is notified. ... THIS ... is HNS."
Is this a joke by the devs?What's going on there?
I mean, even if the Nexus did have communication with the Milky Way or had any hope of establishing it at some point, the "next of kin" of this guy would be more than 20 generations removed from him by now. Given the whole " 6degrees of separation" thing, basically everyone on the Nexus is closer related to him than anyone in the MW at this point.
What are they trying to tell us? Discuss!

Yeah, been mentioned how stupid it is many times. However, someone did point out that they dont say what species the dead person is. Asari, or Krogan for instance, that live a thousand years makes it different.
Still, struck me as rather stupid as well though.

I didn't even think of that. |

It's probably making reference to a salarian worker who died the same way in ME Nexus Uprising. But i agree, whoever wrote was either drunk or high, the second part of the sentence makes zero sense. |

Agreed. Not sure what that was about. Anyone who might have cared about him in the MWG is probably long gone (pending space-sciency-cause-reasons). Unless they were simply referring to locating the Salarian Ark, but nothing in the news message suggests that. Also, in locating the Salarian Ark, I did not meet anyone who mentions this incident. |

As there was another mention during the game that they had been unable to make contact with the Milky way, that made this story particularly dumb. I assume it was meant to be witty; it felt a bit forced.

If the worker was Asari or Krogan. Then they very well could have family alive still. The Arks did drop QEC comm bouys during the trip. Problem is nobody is responding from other end. The hint is no communication is coming from the MW.

I assume it was meant to be witty; it felt a bit forced. They can do it via QEC, that is how the SAMs keep connected in real time to the pathfinders across the Heleus cluster. But most likely the other pair for the QEC was destroyed in the Reaper War. |

The specifically mention the QECs arent responding after they wake up. Reapers probably destroyed them. No it wasnt a joke they left behind QECs so thry could communicate. The last messages they got were recorded in Alecs memories. |

No it wasnt a joke they left behind QECs so thry could communicate. The last messages they got were recorded in Alecs memories. Or they were never intended to work from the begining. I wouldn't be surprised if they reveal later (in dlc) that the Benefactor's people sabotaged the QECs to avoid giving the Reapers intel on the Andromeda Initiative. |

The last messages you get are Alliance Palaven command and Liara on board the Normamdy. The Primarch is mentioned being dead but no mention of Victus I assume Shepard is on Menae and the message from Liara must be from just after. So shortly before the Tuchanka arc the QECs went down. |

Which is what the military's initiative should've done in the first place. If you're escaping a far more advanced, genocidal technology terror... you go dark. It's all in or nothing at all. Which again drives me nuts that they sent the Nexus incomplete expecting to find resources in the unknownable frontier. However, +100 on your lore. Awesome. (Passing a bottle of Ryncol) I'm done. No thanks. I imagine my insides have turned into leather. |

Probably just something they throw in to make the players go 'wtf'. It doesn't impact the gameplay and like most news, you can tune it out really easily, so it isn't that immersion breaking if people are bothered by that (assuming it is a short lived human, salarian, or turian, which is not disclosed).
