After reading the dossier of "Admiral Hackett", I am starting to think he is working for Cerberus....

No.  He's just not an idiot.  Forcibly detaining Shepard (who could easily still be a Spectre) is just a stupid idea.  Just think of all the myriad ways it could go wrong, and what the fallout of each would be.

I don't know, after reading Hacketts "request denied" message it was my first thought. A lack of explination makes me think he has no reason other what instructions have been given by TIM to him. Of course a superior does not need to give reasons for an order to a subordinate, request denied is a perfectly fine response for for Hackett to give.



That said, Hackett does manage to email you pretty damn soon after your awakening with the details on the Normandy crash site. Someone had to have told him that you were alive and how to contact you. If Hackett had issues with Cerberus he would not have contacted you. So either he is part of Cerberus, approves of their activities or is neutral towards them and their goals.

Or he really doesn't like them at all, but realizes that he's sort of stuck with them and that being able to at least communicate with them now and again has its uses, so he has a bit of a personal detente with them.    If Shep can do that, why can't he?  Granted, it's risky for someone in his position, but not out of the question.

Another possibility is that TIM just contacted him out of the blue and let him know what was up because he knew Hackett was someone who'd have Shep's back when the news finally broke and gave him a means to contact Shep should he want to. 

Yet another:  Hackett learned of Shep's return, maybe even from this email exchange, and then went and contacted Cerberus on his own and let them know he wanted to contact the commander.

I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings?  BioWare are far from perfect, and I merely provide hard criticism because I know they can - and want them to - do better.  I paid them money for a product.  This was not a "gift".  It is my ability and resonsibility to inform them where they went wrong.

I found the dossiers entertaining, and no, they didn't have to write them, but if they went to the effort I would have preferred something interesting and plot-relevant rather than a bunch of throwaway gags about sex and bad poetry.  It seems that the Shadow Broker's communications network is actually just the future version of Encyclopaedia Dramatica.

We said! Glad to see that I am not alone in this line of thinking.

My favorite one was Tali typing up a condolence letter, The one between the doctor and Jack's mother was heartbreaking to me and only furthered my dislike of Cerberus. But Damn! TIM had a woman for everyday of the week, but now I know his true identity.

Miranda's made me like her even more since its sad to see she can never have kids. Zaeed's was pretty interesting

Then how do you explain this!?


The SB is full of BS. If anyone can, it's Shepard!

That drawing is so full of win.

Grunts was definitely the funniest, but my favorite moment was Udina getting pissed in the videos. Also the videos show Anderson talking to a cerberus guy and Asthea(?) the bartender looking at a picture of Liara. Confirmation on one theory and a not to Retribution.

Miranda deffinatly has the most activity it seems, i found the dating service message logs very funny. Also Kasumi's Haiku sounded quite beautiful. Jack's poem was....interesting, it deffinatly embodies her character. I was kinda hoping that Jack's poem would be different or less dark if you romanced her.

Legion's gamer profile was hilarious and i thought that was a great touch! It kinda makes me wish that Bioware actually made all of those into real games.

If you sold Legion to Cerberus there is a surveilence recording of two scienetists "disecting" him. Though if my suspicion is correct, it looks like Legion will have a very rude awakening.

I find myself wanting to know more about the Shadow broker prior to the recently deposed one and see an overview of the history of the organisation. The fellow did apparently not lack ruthlessness him-/her-/itself, judging by the Blofeld-esqe treatment of henchmen.

Laughed a bit about the Yahg's business suit styled armor, by the way -- when he broke out his weapon, I could almost hear the words: "Say hello to my little friend!".



Now, Miranda... She may not be able to bear a child herself, without clinical aid, but I suppose she could easily father one, if only she dropped the human supremacy agenda and preferrably the cold genetics planning as well... *tries to hook her up with Shiala, like some meddling old grandmother, or other*

When Zaeed mentioned suicide with a shuttle full of explosives, I immediately pictured him smoking a cigar while ramming a reaper at FTL. Seems like his way to go.

I thought most of them were pretty awesome. I feel they'd really bring out some emotion if they died in your playthrough, and if you were playing LotSB after the Collector Base. Ex. Reading Thane's love letter after he died in the endgame, or Garrus's sick mother.

Love letter?  I saw the entry that listed his prefered kill techniques but i never saw any love letter.

Has anyone else noticed that in the Shadow Broker dossier, the yahg, upon assuming the position of SB, ordered his operatives to give a full report the next day, which is exactly what Liara also ordered her unsuspecting operatives to do when she, in turn, usurped the position. Makes it look like a rite of passage, something new SBs do.

[Christmas Ape]

I imagine Shadow Broker operatives "get it" by now - "Full report within the day" is understood to mean "bring the new boss up to date, team". Who cares if the force controlling the network changes? It works best the way it's always worked. Just business as usual with a new anonymous boss.



I found most of the dossiers themselves quite a good look at the characters in a very intimate, personal manner. Though there's little actual information, it's incredibly personal and shows a depth of surveillance that's a little shocking. How does one acquire a quarian's suit log, anyway? You don't post that to the extranet. Someone hacked the suit, downloaded the log, and got away clean - because the Shadow Broker would pay for Tali'Zorah's recent suit log.



In miscellany: Grunt put me on the floor. Legion is by turns hilarious (banned for taunting) and incredible (Ultra Platinum). Miranda and Jack are pure heartbreakers. I'd pay real money for a copy of Die For The Cause.
