I'm sorry if I'm ruining the mood here, but I can no longer take that picture seriously after seeing this one.
Quick grab...

But it would be pretty stupid if the Admiralty Board decides to go to war or view their alternatives based on what you say to them at the end. I can hardly believe they are that easily manipulated.

Heh.  No mood to ruin.  It kinda looks that way to me, too.  Though that'd be a pretty insensitive move for Shep given the conversation.  LOL.

I think Shepard said that he will see to that they reclaim their planet, one way or another.



Buddha, I share your concer with the whole bubble thing. One can only speculate how much their immunity systems could have developed without the damn bubbles.

Gentlemen.

How are things today?

I think the actual line is something like "That's a worthy promise"  Maybe it's followed by "one I intend to keep" but I'm not sure.  I've only used it once.

Considering where in the game this happens, it's not likely Shep knows about Legion and the heretic/true geth.  It's also the renegade option, so I can't imagine the intent being peaceful.

The bubbles thing bothers me, actually.  Infants need skin/skin contact.  The situation for quarian babies is pretty damn grim, if you ask me.

Indeed. Unless you take Legion to the Flotilla. If Shepard doesn't know there's a possibility after Legion talks to Koris, then he's a moron. But you're right, the options on the Alarei are pretty clear, pro-war or pro-resettlement.

And the bubbles thing, yeaaah, Idk. They need skin/skin contact? There can't be a maternal bond without it? Either way the implications are saddening. Think about a person inside a cage their whole life. Yeaaaah, I'm gunna go.

Huh.  The one near Harrot's seems to maybe suggest exterior windows, but the rest seem pretty clear that the area is some kind of enormous internal chamber.

With enough space to have space ships inside it.



Was kind of difficult to get a decent shot of the Normandy while it was docked. Also the wall behind Shepard was rock too, like the one near the batarian prophet.

Fine, thank you mr. Jones. And no need to make Tali cry, I commented on your latest chapter, even thought after Rip's comment everything will look just plain and dull.

Still, it is appreciated.

Thank you.

Buddha was less than pleased with certain... word choices, but I think it's still a strong ending.

Heh.  It could have been worse.  It could have been "heaving bosoms" instead.

"Bosoms" is just an awful word for it.

Not very flattering.

I'm going to quote EDI on this one:

Imagine if you spend your whole life wearing gloves. One day, someone takes them off. You can finally touch the world, feel it.

It's one thing for us who can touch something without gloves/a suit at any time. We're taking it for granted, and it's nothing special about it because it happens so often.

To someone like Tali, it has never happened. To have the luxury to do it at will, is something that she will never be able to do.

Buddha, also I have these pics.



Entering Omega.





Leaving Omega.





Both pics makes that station to looks so different.

I'm sure that visual contact and and interaction substitutes to a certain extent.  But it's much easier to calm an infant with direct contact.

As for how messed up an infant can get without proper stimulus/interaction?  Well, experimenting with humans would be unethical, but here's the famous study with monkeys.  It starts getting horrific in the "isolation" part.

Less than five hours of sleep later...



I have returned.



What's the word?

oh I see the "heaving bosoms" is still a topic from last night/this morning!

The top one with that refinery flare or whatever suggests enclosed atmosphere, which must be a stupendously huge space considering the scale shown with the Normandy.

Five hours? I have slept six hours total for two days.

Hey, I have some questions:  What's AoDShep's background/origin?  Did you guys ever decide on the exile thing?

[MassDestroyer]

Hi guys I'm havin breakfast at my desk while my sister goes to the docter

[Goat_Shepard]

Thanks Mass, I reaaaally needed that.

Rip, welcome.

Indeed. This one wonders why quarians are not mentally unstable and failures at life in general. They are the opposite, it seems, they adapt.

But seriously, that's just one word in the piece, which was overall good.  I'm certainly too chicken to address the subject, so you can automatically discount my opinion.

Wow. The mass accelerator weapon which did that, makes Sovereign's weapon look like a BB gun.
I vote for getting that weapon operational in Mass Effect 3.
