Except that Drew said that if Anderson is Councilor he can't step down.  As he's one of the main writers, I'll take his statement as Word of God.  Which makes Retribution/Inquisition one possible set of events that can take place in a player's canon.  But it's obviously not mandatory.

Which means Pallin is alive.  Yay~

But that's...nonsense. Do they send Spectres to kidnap him, drag him back to the Council tower, chain him to the podium and force him at gunpoint to advance human interests in cooperation with the other Council races if he tries? The only job you can't quit is organized crime.

Well, this is the Council we're talking about. 

(I kid, I kid.)

Seriously, this notion of "you can't quit as councilor" strikes me as just so... odd.  I asked the same question -- are they going to send Spectres to track him down and force him to continue being Councilor?

Which came first, Revelation or ME1?

I think Revelation was written during ME1s development, which is why it is referenced in the game. The author of the book is also the lead writer for ME1so it fits together pretty well.
If you are asking in terms of plot, Revelation plays about 20 years prior to ME1.

That email does not say they made a retcon. What it does say is that going in to ME3, Udina will be councilor. The line "he can't just leave" doesn't mean Anderson can't quit the council, it just means that if he were still Councilor at the time of Retribution, he wouldn't be able to do what he does in that book. If Anderson was the person you picked for councilor (as I'm sure many did), then I'm sure when we talk to him in ME 3 he will tell us about stepping down and resuming his status as Admiral (and how he quit that position to fight the Reapers). They can't discuss those events in the book because it would conflict with the people who picked Udina.

I read it as "we already have Anderson dealt with in the story, but how do I not say that directly?"

It could be that, if Anderson was Councilor, he had a lot more say.  Perhaps when Drew said he can't step down, it's that he (Anderson) considers the position too important to leave.  Just because he steps down from being an Admiral, doesn't mean he'd do the same.

Consider this:  When he gets the info in Retribution, he can't take it to the Alliance because he he knows that a lot of them are in bed with Cerberus.  Which leads him to hand it over to the Turians, overstepping his authority and costing him his position.

BUT, if Councilor Anderson got that information, he could just go right to C-Sec and/or the Turian Embassy and hand it over without fear of a conflict of interest.  Problem solved.

I'm pretty sure it's Councillor Valern, not Velarn.

I just finally got around to reading it. And I completely agree with everything you said Hotaru. It made no sense. We didn't have enough information on a character like Pallin to base a story around him. I have no clue what the hell I just read or what exactly occured and why. Something about Pallin being corrupt for some reason, something about some data. And then there was a fight for some reason, with little to no explaination about what the background was.

I'm pretty sure at this point that Udina is the canon councillor. I don't exactly like the choice, but I think it'll set up for an interesting confrontation with him and the rest of the council in ME3, which is always good.

There are 3 cerberus active cell operating at the moment, Lazarus Project is one of them. After EDI have full control of Normandy, she confirmed about this three cells. Previously speaking with Miranda, she said Cerberus have different fields which POLITIC is among them.



If you put these altogether, Udina is likely the deep-cover agent of Cerberus. As Ceberus always try to put humanity at top of all race, it just make sense that Udina is their agent.

Does anyone know where I can find jpeg or pdf versions of this comic? Or any file type I can actually print out and have hard copies of (as opposed to the Flash version its in now, which isn't printable as far as I know)?



The link at the beginning of this thread has jpg link for all the pages, except Page 4 is missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need a hard copy to complete my ME collection...at least until DH collects all the ME comics in an Omnibus.
