Elcor Hamlet, LOL. I can imagine it. Patience - at least until the next break . Makes me wonder how many breaks this play has.

[clennon8]

That is a cool picture. And I like your imagined dialogue, SR!

Enough that Miranda and Shep could definitely get into some shenanigans, I think.  Miranda might be awesome, but I doubt even she has the patience to sit through 14 hours of elcor Hamlet

Thanks!  I don't think I know the character well enough to write, you know, substantive things, so silliness will have to do.

All this is kinda funny because we just finished studying Hamlet in my advanced English Lit. course in school.

[aeetos21]

Hamlet: "Redundant speculation: To be or not to be, that is the question."



Shepard: "Or when a super secret think-tank decides to answer that for you by bringing you back from the dead."



Miranda: "Shh! Keep talking and I'll make you wish you stayed dead."

[Ieldra]

Here's a question: if we get another romance scene with Miranda in ME3, where would you like it to take place.



I'd like it to take place on TIM's space station after Miranda and Shepard have successfully removed him from the equation.

[CroGamer002]

Just saying that I'm doing 16 playthrough just to have Miranda romance. Yeah, from 7 Sheps( 8th one is only one Sheploo I have and ME1 save I downloaded) I only didn't romance only her. Keep in mind I did Jacob romance.

I still don't know how that happen.

As for the question at hand, I would like it to be at Shep's private home on Earth/Illium/wherever.

What a saucy question Ieldra!

Hmmm...on TIM's space station sounds rather fitting...only with a defeated TIM being forced to watch...you know just to rub it in. 


Then again that could be seen as a reward rather than a punishment so perhaps a safehouse that Miranda and Shepard have set up - something a bit more homely this time

[Ieldra]

Mr Plow, I envision Shepard and Miranda making their home on that space station.

Yea, I was going to say... TIM, him being the sex addict that he is, would enjoy such a sight. 
Id stick with Shep's home. Maybe if Miri wanted something raunchy they could do the back porch?

lol that would definitely be funny. haha what a slap in le face for TIM.

Whilst I don't have anything against Ieldra's idea (didn't you write a story about that?), I still am fond of the idea that Shepard has kept his place on Inta'sei as a quiet bolt hole. Considering the view that you get from the living room, it's a potential romantic retreat. Considering that it was a quiet deal between the CO of Pinnacle Station and Shepard, I'm guessing it's not on any electronic listing anywhere, especially given that the CO was keeping it quiet himself...

*beautiful snip*

Probably in either shepard's quarters or in her office which is where shepard's quarters were on the SR-1. Both would be fine in my book.

Given that I never had the patience to play through Pinnacle Station, I never thought of that place as mine. In fact, I've never even seen it. So it is still that space station for me. Yes, I did write a short scene about it (p117 of the 2nd thread).

Do you have a picture of that "quiet bolt hole"? I'd like to see it, but I very much doubt the view can compete with the one from TIM's space station.

[snfonseka]

Pic time!

[hooahguy]

^Wow, really great!



But maybe have Miri smiling a little bit?

Screengrab as follows:


The details for Intai'sei are here. It's a small colony. founded in 2166, population listed as 150k.

[Ieldra]

The view *is* nice. Might even worth paying a lot of money for. But it's definitely not worth playing Pinnacle Station for. Not even for being able to imagine retreating there with Miranda after ME3. If not TIMs space station, then a retreat on Chasca will do, near the Prothean pyramid.

The main abode, however, would be something closer to civilization. IMO Miranda is very much a city person and wouldn't feel at home for long in regions with nothing but landscape.

I wouldn't necessarily say a CITY person--she does after all spend two years locked up in the Lazarus Project.  But she seems like she would get bored with pretty vistas and wander off looking for something to do.  Wherever she is, she needs something to occupy her time productively.  She's like Mordin, only less hyperactive.

Though it'd be funny to see the usually collected Miranda on way too much coffee and as frenetic as Mordin

Teaser from Miranda/Kaidan story for those interested.

"That's quite enough, Ms. al-Jilani." The new voice was sharp and a little cold, the voice of someone who was accustomed to giving orders and having them followed without question. Al-Jilana and I both turned. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I'm pretty sure that if Williams had been alive, she would've told me to put my tongue back in my mouth, too.

It wasn't every day that you saw a supermodel, even on the Citadel. The woman was wearing a dark business suit, but it seemed to accentuate her curves rather than hide them. Her hair was thick and dark, with a few strands falling in front of her face so artfully that it had to be deliberate. What struck me most were the eyes. Naturally blue eyes were all but extinct, and it was hard to pull off that mix of blue and gray even with tinting. I wondered how much it had cost her.

"Lieutenant Alenko has an urgent meeting to attend. Council business." And with that, she pulled me away from al-Jilani. I could see al-Jilani barely suppressing a smile. A gorgeous woman interrupting her interview? That was gold to people like her. I'd probably be engaged in a torrid affair with the mystery woman within twenty-four hours.

"So, is there really a meeting or are you just a good Samaritan?" I asked her when we were out of earshot. A gorgeous woman just happened to show up right when I needed rescuing from a reporter? My bull**** detector was going off.

She gave me a half-smile. She was enjoying knowing more than I did. "Oh, there's a meeting. Councilor Udina and Admiral Anderson want to speak with you. I'll let them tell you more."

"Can't you tell me?"

She shook her head. "Too risky. Every square centimeter of the wards is bugged. C-Sec can't actually catch anti-Council dissidents, but they've got to look like they're doing something."

I nodded. There was always the possibility that this was an elaborate set up, but I didn't think so. Whatever else you wanted to say about the new C-Sec—and I could say a lot of things—they were keeping petty crime under control. And, worse case scenario, I can do a pretty good job of taking care of myself. "I'll take that as a no. Of course, she was still dodging the question. "Can I get a name? ID would be great."

She sighed and pulled something from her pocket. The promised ID. Miranda Donovan. Alliance Intelligence Agency. Even her official picture looked good. I didn't know whether to relax or tense further. I was 98% sure they she was who she said she was. It was damn hard to fake official ID, and faking being AIA was a good way to end up dead. On the other hand, I wasn't really sure I want to know what Anderson and Udina wanted me for if AIA was involved. Most of what they did was vanilla analysis, but I've heard rumors of presidents assassinated, civil wars started, and various other things that are supposed to be the province of the STG. Something told me I hadn't attracted the attention of the analysis branch.

"Satisfied?" she asked.

A mysterious, if stunning, woman who could probably kill me in ten different ways was taking me to an impromptu meeting with the head of the Citadel Council. "I don't know if 'satisfied' is quite the word I'd be using, Agent Donovan."

She laughed a little at that, but the sound was harsh, like she wasn't used to doing it. "You're nervous. Good. Keeps you on your toes." She placed the ID back in her pocket. "You can call me Miranda." She looked at me out of the corner of her eye. "You would've been better off ignoring that reporter to begin with. Her kind is even less interested in the truth than most journalists and that's saying something."

"I, ah, figured that out a minute too late."

Miranda didn't respond. There was nothing left for me to do but enjoy the scenery, if you could call it enjoying. Zakera Ward has escaped major damage, but the rebuilding committee hadn't been able to resist a few changes. Gleaming new Avina and public extranet software. It was easier to install the monitoring software on the new machines. They said it was to help catch geth sympathizers, but you heard things, you know? There were a lot more C-Sec cops around than the first time I visited the Citadel. Mostly human. I counted a dozen uniformed officers the on the way to the elevators, along with who knew how many plainclothes cops. Zakera Ward was heavily multicultural. It would've been smarter to hire turian and asari to feel more of the vacancies. I'd told Anderson as much, but Udina wanted to make a statement.

Not that anybody was doing anything. There'd been three riots since Shepard's death, but mostly people were just scared and angry. It'd boil over someday. We couldn't run the galaxy by ourselves, not forever. And that was if the Reapers didn't kill us first. We should have been building bridges not... whatever the hell we were doing. Before Shepard died, Anderson had talked about reforming the Council with a seat for every Citadel race. Then Shepard died, Udina got the Council seat, and nobody except for war heroes like me were allowed to say we believed in Reapers.

We stepped into the elevator. Something must have shown on my face because Miranda said, "Somehow I doubt this is quite how Commander Shepard planned for things to go. I don't mean the dying. If it had been up to her, we'd all be building a fleet to combat the Reapers, not playing petty power games. The destruction of the old Council gave us a unique opportunity to act, and we're squandering it." She looked at me. Her eyes seemed to burn with some inner fire. At least I wasn't the only person pissed off about how things were going. "I sincerely hope that's about to change."

Miranda is much less angsty than in Persistence. Infertility is not even mentioned. I'm trying Ieldra.

I like it, jtav. It's interesting to see Miranda through Kaidan's eyes. I can't comment so much on him since I don't know him as well, but the added suspicion works well. I'm also wondering what she's doing there, off the Lazarus project.

One small thing: "Her eyes seemed to burn with some inner fire." You don't actually see such things, thus this sounds a little cheesy. Better put it into her voice and use a different image to describe her looking at him.

[ToshiStation38]

I'm a bit of a Kaidan fan and I really like the way you're portraying him. Seems very believable. I have no trouble putting Raphael Sbarge's voice to those words.
