Here's my favorite piece of poetry for Ash in ME3:

The Green Hills of Earth

Let the sweet fresh breezes heal me
As they rove around the girth
Of our lovely mother planet
Of the cool, green hills of Earth.

We've tried each spinning space mote
And reckoned its true worth:
Take us back again to the homes of men
On the cool, green hills of Earth.

The arching sky is calling
Spacemen back to their trade.
ALL HANDS! STAND BY! FREE FALLING!
And the lights below us fade.

Out ride the sons of Terra,
Far drives the thundering jet,
Up leaps a race of Earthmen,
Out, far, and onward yet ---

We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.

Robert A. Heinlein

@Rdubs years and years of digging for random things on google has taught me well but it is still a dangerous thing to do if you are trying to avoid spoilers, that time I was lucky. I am hoping to pull it off for 3 aswell if I find out I will PM you, unless of cause you bump into that information first in which case PM me!


Wow, active thread today.Posted Image

Oh, and can i get in on ^^ ?

Ash was meant to recite that in ME1, but I think Bioware couldn't get the rights at the time or something. It would be great if they do get them and Ash recites it in ME3, it would fit with the whole Earth under attack theme. It would also make a great monologue for a trailer aswell, seeing the Earth burn and hearing Ash recite this would be really touching.

I think my main dislike of her character is that she is still very aggressive in her way of showing her opinions though, the same way that despite me understanding while Jack is messed up she doesn't evoke a whole lot of sympathy in her behaviour.

This makes her a lot harder to pick as a love interest in comparison to slightly gentler characters such as Liara and Tali. Although I suppose it does add some depth to her as she is outwardly quite prickly but nicer once you get to know her, whereas Liara and Tali just seem to be somewhat affectionate towards you straight away.


This is exactly the reason why I do like her character so much and picked her as LI. While the other characters just falls for you in some part, Ashly brings more to the table. Even when you seal the love connection in the game, she can be upset, angry, and say what's on her mind. It's like you want her to pick you, and not the other way around like with the other characters (Mostly Liara, Tali and Miranda).

And some wonder why on Earth I'd want to convert part of the SR-2's cargo hold into a gym/sparring area... *sigh*

*Garrus, Shep & Zaeed are sipping cool drinks in the mess and chatting*

Garrus: "...so I told Shepard about how we relieve pre-mission stress in the turian military, and there you have it."Posted Image
Zaeed: "I don't care; I'm too goddamn old for that PT nonesense. I leave that to wet-behind-the-ears rookies like Taylor..."Posted Image

*Jacob walks exits the elevator, dressed for PT, muscles rippling as he playfully tries to wrestle a lithe Kasumi off his back. Their chuckles are cut-off as they disappear behind the Port Observation Lounge door.*

Shep: "I don't know, Zaeed... PT seems to be doing wonders for those two..." *winks at Garrus*
Zaeed: "They aughta focus on the godamn mission, instead of moonin' around like lovestruck teenagers..."Posted Image

*Miranda and Samara exit the elevator, chatting pleasantly; their workout body gloves slick with sweat from their strenuous workout.*

Samara: "Your defenses were flawless, Miss Lawson. As they should be."
Miranda: "Thank you. Your use of biotics almost surprised me, though... we must continue this tomorrow." *Miranda nods and smiles at the group before disappearing into her office*
Samara: *nodding to the trio as she heads over to the Starboard Observation Lounge* "Gentlemen"

*She exits the mess with a feline grace*

Garrus: *impressed* "...that fringe..."Posted Image

*Jack and Grunt exit the elevator. Jack has a black eye and bleeding knuckles and is poking Grunt in the ribs. Both have been at it hard, their hands still wrapped in sparring bandages*

Jack: "...yeah, but I still got you good that first time, tube-boy."
Grunt: *smiling thoothily* "MY ribs won't be hurtin' an hour from now, ink-face"
Jack: "I betcha that extra lump on your forehead 'll still be there, though..."

*The cold air makes Jack shiver, making her tattoo's ripple across her naked back. As ususal, she's topless, wearing only some snug PT shorts and combat boots"

Jack: "C'mon, let's see what the doc can do about my shoulder. Damn thing hurts like a...Posted Image" *her last words are cut off by the closing Med Bay door*

Zaeed: "So THAT's what that goddamn racket was about? Figured that hover tank had broken off its moorings!"Posted Image
Garrus: "We had some leftover Silaris armor plates... figured the sparring area would need some for the more... ah... enthusiastic sparrers..."Posted Image

*Ash exits the elevator, dressed for PT, stretching her muscular arms and legs*

Ash: "There you are. Let's beat some shape back into that sorry butt of yours... sir!"
Shep: "Brave words, Chief... but you'll have to salute first."Posted Image
Ash: *salutes* "I've got 2 extra years of training over YOU, sir; with all due respect: your a*s is mine." *winks to Garrus*.

*She grabs Shep by the elbow and drags him back to the elevator*

Zaeed: "Goddamn kids! All hormones and no brain activity. I remember that kid from Golf company..."Posted Image

*Dr. Chackwas exits the med bay, dressed in a silver and white PT body glove; she has a towel in one hand, a bottle of ice brandy and two shot glasses in the other*

Chackwas: "Come on, soldier... time to prove your valour."Posted Image
Zaeed: *mouth agape, eyes switching back & forth between the bottle and Chackwas' fit figure* "...er...well, if it's doctors orders..."Posted Image
Chackwas: *winking at Garrus* "I always loved working on soldiers... they're like brandy: they get better with age. And all they need is the right motivation..."Posted Image

*She drags Zaeed to the elevator. Garrus smiles and stretches his long legs, leaning back into his chair*

Garrus: "I love this crew!"Posted Image

That was very cool, FW! Also, never heard the term 'body glove' when referring to the outfits the crew wears. I like it!

No... I was just inspired by Raanz' drawing and the rest just followed naturally. While most of the crew appears to be pretty much antagonistic to one another, many share more than what's obvious at a glance. I always felt this was the case with Jack and Grunt: they both love to fight; Grunt to challenge himself, Jack because she derives an endorphin high from it (which makes her feel good, and as a side-effect, more friendly)...

Zaeed's just a softie (inside the tritanium armor plate) and would TOTALLY fall for the good doctor. They're the same age, have seen as much action, Chackwas loves soldiers, soldiers love their medic... both love ice brandy. A match made in heaven, I say.

Jacob's got reach, Kasumi's got flexibility... 'nuff said.

...and as for Ash and Shep: marine hand-to-hand is just another excuse to bond. ;)

I love how you showed Ash and Shep together! You presented it in such a way that was like, "well how ELSE could it be? Of course they would be together." The way it should be. Now get your talented *ss over to the fanfic website and give us some good stuff! Milla set a pretty high bar though watch out! :)

Ok, so Milla... I was going to post my reaction to your story in the PM ... but then I thought, I should post it in the Ashley thread so that others who may not have read it can enjoy this amazing story as well! XD

Seriously, GO READ THIS!

Alright so... that was effing amazing! Once I started reading it... I couldn't stop. lol

I think you got Ashley just right in this story and so while I was happy, it also made me kinda sad that we haven't gotten to experience her fully since ME1. :(

I had so many ups and downs in this story so far ... it was just... awesome.

Epic... that's really all that needs to be said. lol

THIS NEEDS TO BE DLC....no wait... THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO ME3!!! LOL, I would totally buy that in game form!

But, I agree with what RDubs said... you can't just stop right there!!!! NEED MOAR NAO!

I will say... you had some parts with joker (that were amazing) and Miranda and a few others... but... needs more Garrus. That's all I can say that's bad. :P

As for an Ashley theme song...  I choose Glory Box by Portishead.  May seem like a strange choice, but this song reminds me of Ash... a lot.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

Good song but, what about a song that shows the sassy, fiery side of her?

Thanks Sgt!  So glad you're enjoying it.  Posted Image  I agree with you about Garrus too.  It became really clear to me after chapter 11 that he needed more of a presence in the fic in general.  Don't worry, i shall rectify this.

That's a good question.  I couldn't think of one song that resonated all parts of her personality for me.
A song that shows her sassy/fiery side?  I did an Ash tribute video a while back, and the song I used for it
is "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse.   This song works well for that side of Ash for me.  Here's the vid if you
wanna check it out. www.youtube.com/watch

I want to read this, i've read a lot of positive feedback.  I won't read it
till i'm done with my fic though.  I'm way too easily distracted. Posted Image
