lol, you seem to do that a lot. I can only imagine what your screen would look like now. XD

Maybe that is why all your computers die, You keep getting too excited about Kaidan and spitting soda all over the place.

[meonlyred]

Pfft nooooooo.... *wipes away crushed drinks off computer* Besides I've been destroying computer since before Kaidan.

Been perusing on the Miranda thread and a few others, and I’ve seen a lot of talk comparing Miranda and Kaidan. In terms of personality and abilities of course, but that also got me thinking again on a favorite idea, ie how Miranda and Kaiden would work as a couple. 
 
As Miranda and Kaidan are two of my favorite characters, I love the idea right off the bat! And the more I think about it, the more I like it! 
 
I think they complement each other both personally and professionally. They’re both very stable, very driven people. They’re both highly intelligent. And while Miranda would undoubtedly benefit from being with someone of Kaidan’s moral fiber, I think Kaiden would benefit from Miranda’s perspective, her ability to dispassionately look at ‘the big picture.’
 
Anybody else thinking along these lines?

[meonlyred]

They both had strong similarities but they are very yin and yang. Kaidan looks at getting things done the right way were as Miranda sees it more as the ends justify the means. I have a feeling they would argue a lot. I'm not saying they wouldn't work. Just a middle ground would have to be found.



We talked about this in the last KAST.

[General User]

Apologies for rehashing old ground, but I missed that bit. What was the general consensus, if you don’t mind my asking?
 
Yin and Yang can be a good thing (just ask MC Skat Kat), if they are in harmony. That’s actually how I see Kaidan and Miranda, opposite halves of the same whole.
 

Before Shepard I would have agreed completely.  I’m thinking more of Miranda, after Shepard. Kaiden was and is the more emotionally mature of the two, but I think Miranda matured a lot during the course of the Collector mission. Shepard had a very positive effect on her.

So who does everyone think is the General that is in Cerberus's pocket?
During the UNC Depot Sigma-23 the recording starts off with.... General if you get this ...... but it doesn't say what the General's name is.
I haven't meet a lot of General's that I can remember but I would assume that it would have been an Alliance General.

Shoot top of page and I don't know how to add a picture. Rats!!!

Well... I guess technically we don't know TIM's background. He could have been a general at one point. Maybe.

Also: 12 pages already?  Really?  You folks are making the Ash thread look bad.

I guess we are just very passionate about our space mage.

[DWH1982]

On the subject of Kaidan and Miranda... It could maybe work. Maybe. But I'm not sure they're all that compatable.

Someone brought up in the last thread that they think that Kaidan and Kasumi would be a good pairing. The more I think of it, the more I agree with that. For some reason, they just seem to fit, even if Kasumi's chosen profession could be something of an issue.

I wonder what what kind of haiku Kasumi would write about Kaidan?

Space thief-mage.  XD

... wait.  If engineers are thief-analogues, then Kaidan is nefarious!  But he seemed so... so... pure and upstanding! 

I guess that's why he's multi-classing?  :innocent:

Sweet Kaidan we love
He has a lot of cool skills
....Refrigerator

I forgot how much I hate haikus until just now. It's 5 - 7 - 5 right?

Not sure.

If it makes you feel better, I'm told that Kasumi didn't do her's right, either.

EDIT: This is what Wikipedia has to say:

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.

Speaking of Kaidan/Miranda, would you guys like another teaser or should I keep my mouth shut?

Thanks. Let me know if these become excessive or unwanted at any time.

I glanced at Kaidan out of the corner of my eye. He was wearing the dark, well-tailored suit he'd been given as part of his cover as Mikael Seta, owner of a small but prosperous import-export business and fence of choice for the discerning thief who wanted to dispose of unique items. He hadn't with shaved in three days. Another piece of the disguise. He kept running his fingers over the beginnings of his beard, as if he couldn't quite believe it was there.

"Don't do that," I whispered. The docking bay was not especially crowded at this hour, but there was no such thing as being too cautious in undercover work. "You'll draw attention to yourself."

His lips thinned. Irritation and hint of embarrassment, but he was trying not to show either. "Sorry. Just not used to it yet. I haven't tried to grow a beard since I was fourteen."

I didn't answer right away. Kaidan made the mission more complicated. He was a mission objective, just as the Reaper tech was. He was the reason I was here instead of on Lazarus Station. The Illusive Man believed that he would be an asset to Cerberus. I was inclined to agree. He was a decorated soldier and a highly skilled biotic. More importantly, he believed in the Reapers and knew what was at stake. He'd managed to keep his position despite those in power denying that the Reapers existed. Not the sort of man who was likely to be dominated by his emotions. His psych profile suggested he had a relatively positive view of aliens. Good. Too many people confused the advancement of humanity with rampant xenophobia. He'd be perfect for us.

If I could recruit him. Which meant I needed him to like me. I'd never been good at that. I'd never particularly wanted my subordinates to like me. Respect was adequate. I couldn't manipulate him like I had my occasional mark, not if I wanted a working relationship with him later.

You could always seduce him. He'd certainly seemed interested the first time we met. I gave him credit for at least trying not to act like a dog in heat. My looks were yet another thing my father had given me. He'd hired researchers to calculate the traits most attractive to the average heterosexual human male and given them to his daughters. He had to keep the bloodline going somehow. It had proved useful in my line of work, though not in the way you would think. I'd promised myself after I left Omega for the first time that I'd never sleep with anyone unless I wanted to. I honored my promises. Flirtation was another matter. Not that it would be much of a hardship to flirt with Kaidan. And, perhaps, there would be more later, if he was everything he was supposed to be and it didn't compromise the mission. Maybe.

I quirked my lips upward slightly. "Scruffy is a good look for you."

I was rewarded with a slow, easy grin that unfurled across Kaidan's face. No, this wasn't going to be a hardship at all. "Come on."

The Zephyr was as cramped as I remembered. She smelled of metal and the various fluids necessary to keep even a small smuggling vessel operational. At least someone had managed to find room for a second chair. The cargo hold was filled with unregistered small arms and bags of red sand. Another piece of our cover and material for bribery, if it came to that. She wasn't the most comfortable ship I'd ever been on, but she would serve well enough for the ten hour trip to Omega.

Kaidan took in the scene at a glance. I watched as his gaze fell on the small box I'd half-hidden under the pilot's seat. "What's that? It can't be cargo or you would have hidden it better."

My eyebrows went up. I'd placed the box there as a small test; I wanted to see how long it would take Kaidan to notice. He had exceeded my expectations considerably. I'd planned on giving him the contents once we reached on Omega, but perhaps he deserved a reward. "Actually, it's for you." I knelt, retrieved the box, and opened it. The omni-tool inside lay inert, with only the logo of the Serrice Manufacturing Council suggesting anything out of the ordinary. Kaidan shot me a surprised look when he saw it. "The Nexus 2300. Fastest, most efficient omni-tool in existence. It won't even be available to the general public for another four months."

He took it and fitted it on to his left arm with the ease of long practice. "I, ah, guess there are advantages to your line of work."

"You have no idea." Why not give him a taste of the wonders Cerberus was producing right now? Something to blot out the memory of our bases on Binthu and Sigma-23. Something unambiguously beneficial. "Our scientists have prototyped a subdermal omni-tool implant keyed directly to an individual's nervous system. Even higher performance and less conspicuous." I fought the urge to rub my arm. The operation had hurt only slightly less than the one that given me my biotics, but it had been worth it to have an omni-tool that was undetectable to all but the most advanced scans.

He thought for a moment. "I can see why the AIA would like that. Harder for any enemy agents to remove in case you get captured. A twenty-second century skeleton key."

"That too."

I sat in the pilot's chair while Kaidan took the other one. Neither of us spoke as I performed the necessary safety checks. Kaidan seemed content to watch me, and I was grateful. Too many people I'd been forced to work with spoke for the sake of speaking instead of for an actual reason. Kaidan was full of pleasant surprises today. I could only hope they continued once we reached the Terminus Systems.

"Ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

Nice jtav you might change my mind about them yet.

[Melindil]

jtav, do you have a more complete version posted elsewhere? I'd love to read more.

I posted a link to the prologue on the old KAST  Here This is from the first chapter, which I hope to have up in about a week and a half.

I'm enjoying these, I think it's more of a challenge to write characters other than Shepard convincingly, and it's also fun to read people's interpretations of them.  Kaidan and Miranda are both very believeable here, really looking forward to more!

[Selenora]

I can imagine Kaidan with someone else only if Shep is a male (yes, yes, i know, im selfish) which will never happen in my case. None of my Shepards whould accept a Kaidan/another woman relationship, not even the stoic one, who, very politely, caressing her Cain, whould ask of them to BACK OFF of my man.

That said, i could picture him with Kelly ))
