Only thing I wonder is do the FTL transmissions used in the ME universe require access the relay system or not. If they do then the entire galaxy is left in the dark about the battles and what they face.

I think they do.


Communications
Real-time communication is possible thanks to networks of expensive mass relay comm buoys that can daisy-chain a transmission via lasers.
Comm buoys are maintained in patterns built outward from each mass relay. The buoys are little more than a cluster of primitive, miniature mass relays. Each individual buoy is connected to a partner on another buoy in the network, forming a corridor of low-mass space. Tightbeam communications lasers are piped through these "tubes" of FTL space, allowing virtually instantaneous communication to anywhere on the network. The networks connect across regions by communications lasers through the mass relays.
With this system, the only delay is the light lag between the source or destination and the closest buoy. So long as all parties remain within half a light-second (150,000 km) of buoys, seamless real time communications are possible. Since buoys are maintained in all traveled areas, most enjoy unlimited instant communications. Ships only suffer communications lag when operating off established deep space routes, around uninhabited outer system gas giants, and other unsettled areas.
During wartime, comm buoy networks are the first target of an attack. Once the network is severed, it can take anywhere from weeks to years to get a message out of a contested system. In systems where a buoy network has not yet been built or has been destroyed, rapid communication means ferrying information through high-speed courier ships and unmanned data drones.

But, enough about this crap.

Tali pounce!

I don't think it uses Relay system in general but only if you want to connect with someone outside of your star cluster.

No wonder the Galaxy is screwed when the Reapers take over the Mass Relay network.

Maybe it isn't such a stupid idea to build our own relays after all.

Aethyta would laugh her ass off if she heard about this.

I want this woman on the Council. I want this woman on the Council now. 

I'd vote for her. I'd run her campaign. I'd get Anderson to support the nomination and I'd call in all my alien homies to vote for her.

Too bad the Citadel Council isn't a democracy. That's okay. There are ways to game that system too, and Udina might even have a few cards up his sleeve.

Moar Tali, you say?

Off Tali Topic but I am actually surprised there isn't a legislative body. Via democracy or republic or some other means.

Did council allow scientists to study the relays and their principle?

Need more TALI!

The migrant fleet was once her home,
 no planet neath her feet.
Her race was cast unto the stars,
 her home lost in defeat.
To most would seem a hopeless life,
 no reason to go on.
But love of life brings happiness,
 and dreams to wish upon.
Trapped within an unfeeling cloth,
 it's easy to grow cold.
Unable to even touch a leaf,
 or have anothers hand to hold.
Yet deep within her life long prison,
 there lives a shining soul.
Her will to help all those in need,
 no matter what the toll.
No one has seen this person yet,
 though she stands a step away.
A helm to hide her face from all,
 for reasons she'll not say.
Thinking only for the others,
 her pain she holds inside.
Her caring and sharing and selflessness,
 shows a heart no mask can hide.

Woo Tali Poetry!

Limerick time!

There once was a girl from the fleet
Who had Shepard tied down with sheets
He tried to escape
But he was in no shape
As she had clamped him down by the teats

I'm pretty sure the Council Members are still beholden to their respective governments. The turian councilor probably couldn't stay in office if Palavan stopped backing him. Anderson probably couldn't stay either if he lost favor with the Alliance, and so on.

From my own experience? They pick the most ignorant ones.

I would've thought someone else would get it. It's the Grand Galactic Inquisitor.

And thus the greatest ME crossover fanfic was begun.

This, of course, begs the question: Who would win in a fight, Shepard or Brock Sampson?

Probably Brock because he's nuts.

Hey. The Council is not ignorant. They have a legitamite point: they just haven't seen enough evidence to prove the existance of the Reapers, and it sounds cah-raaaaaazy.

Only problem is that A) They aren't looking and They won't leave Council Space to look for it.

Besides which, this still doesn't excuse the Turian Councilor for being an ass.

True.

But what really pisses me off is that they acknowledged the Reapers' existence at the end of ME1, but in 2 they act like nothing happened.

Like Joker said, they buried it after Shepard died. Morons.<_<

So who thinks Tali's bouncing is a way to recharge her suits power systems?

[Tairis Deamhan]

Actually probably not a bad idea, this is the future after all. Microfibers tied into a central power source that harness kinetic energy from her movements throughout the day.

And when you tell The Council that Saren was an agent for the Reapers and that's the reason why the Geth followed him, They basically tell you that Saren charmed the Geth....... HOW DO YOU CHARM A MACHINE!?
