Never be afraid to try something....well as long as it's about writing   Other things can just end up hurting too much!

I think I'll wait anyway, because it's very hot where I am right now, and it saps my energy and willpower like you wouldn't believe.

Someone else can take glory for writing it.

Oh, hi thread!

[Thelacan]

Calinstel, you think using of that prayer, blessing, whatever in your fics?

When you asked about Shala's prayer, that just popped into my mind and I don't remember anyone using it before.

Hey Cal, could you give an opinion? I'm not entirely happy with Shep's line, but can't think how to change it.

”Not a chance in hell” Shepard snarled and proceeded to slam her down to the ground. As he twisted slightly his body, putting on a forward momentum on her body before bringing her head first to the hard concrete floor.

”No” she screamed, her one last attempt of defiance before the back of her head met the floor with a wet smack. The force immediately crushing her skull and the sickening sound of it was like a signal, as the room bursted into a firefight.

Him  how about this  

Not a chance in hell” Shepard snarled and proceeded to  throw her down to the ground.  He twisted his body just slightly, putting enough  forward momentum into her body to her slam forcefully her head first to the hard concrete floor.   

”No” she screamed, her one last attempt of defiance before the back of her head met the floor with a wet crack The force immediately  fracturing her skull the sickening sound of it was like a signal, as the room bursted into a storm of gunfire.   


Its takes ALOT of the force to crush someones skull ,    That type of move would at best be a fatal fracture.  
I know one of those sentences needs to be hyphenated but the word flow is better

Like I said earlier, The morning war did have only one good thing.



It allowed us to meet Tali.



And I'm going to use that in a story, She would agree to that, because then she wouldn't have met Shep.

[Thelacan]

Nitefyre, oooohh! Thanks!

Didn't even think about that, big thanks! Also thanks to Cal.

Hey i don't want any Evangelion like endings in my  Mass Effect the  ending of that series was mind bending enough.   The Big  epic space battle  nis ot going to the key to beating the Reapers.. Sorry kiddies if we try to  fight them   head up  we'll lose every time hands down.  There is no way they can build the ships needed  for that battle in  that short amount of time.  It took an entire fleet to take down one and He was not the most powerful.  Nope we got figure A. What the Reapers Really are because there not giant flying space squid of  doom.. B. Once  we do that then we can do, what we do best... Kill em.  But throwing  ships  and fleets at them is going be  to like throwing beeps a freight train... good luck with that.  

I just want to point out something here, the battle was not one on one with Sovereign.  It was Sovereign and a gigantic fleet of small and maneuverable geth ships that were on par with the council armies.  The majority of the losses weren't created by Sovereign himself, he did hardly anything.  The only thing the battle proves is that the geth could be a very serious galactic threat if they wanted to be.

The Thanix cannon is a step in the right direction as far as anti-reaper weaponry is concerned, they need to continue working on weapons that can stop the reapers, because as we've seen, they aren't invincible.

Indeed, it was not a fair battle for Citadel Fleet.
Sovereign who had done almost nothing and a small fleet of Heretic ships.
Citadel Fleet was smashed by the Geth without Sovereign involved and that was their luck, they was able to live for few minutes longer, because if Sovereign joined the battle it would be much shorter.
He was able to destroy Cruisers by one single shot of his weapons and I'm not counting his Anti-Dreadnought weapon.
So One Reaper + at least 100 000 Reapers and we have another Genocide if we will stand against them in an open battle.

Hey Thelacan, one minor grammer nit-pick: when writing dialogue, you want a puncuation mark at the end of the sentence, inside the quotes, IE:

"Bah weep grana bah weep niniba," Shepard said.

There actually belongs a punctuation mark or such?
Edit: actually does it belong in every thing, or does it varies?

Ooofff.... lots of edits to be done. Thank you very much!

Wishful thinking,  10,000 dead,  hundreds of ships  destroyed to kill   one  Reaper, one  Reaper. Multiply those numbers out over  say 100, 1000, 10,000,  or however   big their fleet is....  with Just  100 Reapers your take losses that no fleet can hold against.    Thanix cannon is a weapon based of off Reaper,  banking on that is like banking on a trojan  horse.  We know that they want use to use there tech its all part their  plan...    

You could argue the Mirgant Fleet but really most of the ships are junkers, transport and Live ships not military craft. 

I don't know where you're getting that it was facing one reaper.  The fight was against one reaper, who wasn't directly involved in the fight for the most part, and a modern army.  The geth fleet had to account for over 90% of the casualty numbers that you list.  It shows us that any battle is going to have casualties, but it means nothing in the grand scheme of the fight with the reapers.  They won't have a geth army with them the next time.

As far as the Thanix cannon, its based off the reaper weapons, there is no indication anywhere that the reapers are able to stop it.  Its not in the same vein as the mass relays, where the reapers purposely left them for people to find and use, it was tech reverse engineered off of a dead reaper.  Surely they hadn't planned on that happening.  The collector ship showed us how well the reapers defend against heated metal accelerated to relativistic speeds.

How big the reaper fleet is is a large variable.  You could make a case for it being tens of thousands or higher, but all that we know is that its at least close to 300 (I believe there are 292 in the picture at the end.)  Until further proof is given, I'm assuming that for close to the total.

No one's saying it will be easy, but we will have all ships in the galaxy working together, and a lot better weaponry than we had 2 years ago for Sovereign.

No, they won't have the Geth army with them, they will have their own, much bigger and much more dangerous.
I don't think the Reapers are able to stop Thanix cannon just because it's based on their technology.
But think about it, they wanted us to use their technology because then we develop in a way they need. We are using their technology but they are the only one who completely understand it, there is maybe something we don't know about it.

Yea, think of dialogue as a normal sentence in quotes. But anytime the last sentence in the quotation marks would end in a period, you use a comma instead.

If the sentence would end in a question mark or exclaimation mark then simply use that.

So:

"Ja ja ja! Blah blah," he said.

or

"Ja ja. Blah blah?" he asked

Yes and no. His weaponry is the same as the Normandy SR-2, after upgrades. However, it's rapid fire weaponry was taking apart frigates, not dreadnoughts. If said dreadnoughts are equipped with the Thanix cannons, then the fight becomes much, much more even.

More importantly, the weapons, armor, and shields the SR-2 has are items developed after the battle of the Citadel. Those upgrades alone, if applied to the Citadel fleets, would make the battles closer. Consider that in previous cycles, the reapers had the benefit of surprise. The societies they destroyed had not faced them, and had no opportunity to develop countermeasures to the Reaper tech.

Shepard guaranteed that this is not the case in ME1. Citadel Space is already more prepared than the protheans. And it took a while before the Reapers whiped out the protheans completely.

So if the Citadel fleet has the same armor and cannon as the Normandy, the fights will last longer at the very least. Of course, Tali does give the SR-2 an advantage as the shielding system she upgraded is not available to anyone other than quarians (and possibly geth).

Overall, thanks to Shepard, the current cycle of civilization has a much better chance against the reapers than they did before the events of ME 1 & 2. Will there be heavy losses? Almost guaranteed. However, it is not hopeless.

Not by a long shot.
