Many thanks, my good man. Now, give me a moment to read up on all of these, and I'll be back with my own fanboyish conjectures.

I would go one step further and just do one of these dances:

Awesome. 

And you know, I don't think these really count as "spoilers" (at least not for me). I intended to fire up ME2 everyday until next Tuesday just to see these, and, now, because of you, I don't have to. 


Uh... There's also cerberusdailynews.com and the Mass Effect Wiki.

 Daily postings will cease except for three weeks in 2011,” reads the Cerberus Daily News. “A week of posts will precede a downloadable content release, and two more weeks will lead up to the release of Mass Effect 3

Am I the only one who has the thought that ME3 is next month... Looking at the numbers in Arrival I saw 30 days from the day the screenshot was released. 30 days would put us at around April 15th...

Or maybe I'm just thinking too much on it.

Hackett is definitely with Cerberus.

I always suspected that Cerberus never really split from the Alliance completely, and that the upper echelons of Alliance command (for example, Hackett) know this and continue to work with them. Cerberus does what red-tape stops the Alliance from doing. When the Alliance couldn't assist Shepard in working to stop the Reapers they had Cerberus take over. The way Hackett slapped a stern DENIED over the Major's proposal to take Shepard in for questioning was very suspicious, and now this, as if he knows the Reapers are about to arrive...

Maybe I'm being a bit too presumptuous, and the reality could be very droll indeed. I hope it isn't though.

Am thinking the Batarian Hegemony have decided to side with the Reapers (maybe at the beginning of me3 they even activate the citadel relay?); if this happens could almost guarantee we'll get a Batarian squadmate, who has no love for humans or the other Council races but does want to stop the Reapers

One thing that I found interesting was the Hanar's speech, kinda shows the whole religious subtext in Mass Effect.

That would be a marketing fail as they announced with the teaser a Holiday 2011 release. Not to mention no trailers or other news with 3 weeks left?   What game in history has ever dropped like that?

No.  What they meant was a week of posts lead up to "Arrival" then.... some time later in Holiday season 2011...  two weeks before the release of ME3 will be more CDN.

As many of you know, Cerberus Daily News has resumed it's update schedule for the next week, in preparation for Arrival.  I've transcribed the updates below.  Since these haven't officially aired yet, they should be considered spoilers.

March 22
Evidence continues to mount that the system of mass relays attributed to the Protheans predate their civilization. Dr. Aurana T'Meles of the University of Serrice, a one-time skeptic of the claim, now says she's a convert. "This team has been meticulous in dating relays from many locations," she says in her findings. "It is not their responsibility to hypothesize who created the relays, only to isolate the eras of their construction." Such hypotheses abound and usually feature disappeared species like the arthenn or zeioph. Nearly all have been ruled out since they did not coexist with the oldest of the relays. Dr. Amanda Kenson, team lead for the initial discovery, could not be reached for comment at broadcast time.

March 23
Dr. Aurana T’Meles’ office in downtown Serrice was broken into last night after she made galactic news for supporting the controversial study that claims mass relays predate the Protheans.  “I don’t understand,” said a flabbergasted Dr. T’Meles.  “All they stole was research done by Dr. Kenson earlier this year.  If they’d waited a month, they could have read it all in a published paper.”  Security footage shows four batarians dressed in Civilian clothing breaking into Dr. T’Meles’ office at 4:13 local [Thessia standard] time.  Skin cells from the scene identified one burglar as Palash Tarn, a former member of the Khar’shan military’s Batarian Special Intervention Unit.  No officials from Kar’shan were available for comment.

March 24
Reactions to the discovery that mass relays were not created by the Prothean civilization continue to pour in.  Oh Kahje, the response is largely denial and shock.  Religious leader All-Bright Olos the 10th, the Sounaril of the Manas tradition, reacted by uploading a 13-minute speech to the newsnets that urged calm and peace.  “It is no heresy to say that the Enkindlers themselves may have been Enkindled,” the hanar said.  “It is their example of selflessness, courtesy, and willingness to share their gifts that teaches these ones how to live.  To say there was something before them, an even more noble being, gives these pertinent an even swifter current to ride, a greater model to which we can all aspire.

March 25
Two unauthorized researchers have been arrested and charged with attempting to tamper with the Lowas relay.  “Zahi Moon and Ellis Veech were found on Lowas’ outer surface, planning on accessing the command switches embedded in the relay,” says Council Relay Security officer Lisa Tanabe.  “They were about as successful as the last hundred people who tried.  The real harm was parking a research vessel near a potential collision zone where debris would take weeks to clean, and we know what a single screw can do to a ship at high velocities.”  Tanabe is referring to the tragic explosion of the Mihairokov, a spacecraft that hit an orbiting metal bolt that caused the ship’s cabin to depressurize, killing the passengers onboard.

March 26
A series of security incidents at mass relays throughout Citadel space has led to the redistribution of the Council’s peacekeeping fleets.  “Public attention has shifted to the relays, and relay-related crime is elevated,” says Captain Miyamoto Whelan of the Alliance fleet.  He went on to list starship loitering, debris dumping, and suicide by relay as chief incidents to be policed.  The resulting military presence has been disruptive enough to cause hours and sometimes days of delays for regular flights. “I don’t see why they need to park cruisers on the route to freaking Voya,” said commuter Lakshmi Dasgupta.  “No one’s attacking Voya, and don’t tell me they’re there to guard something that’s indestructible.” 

March 27
Commerce took a plunge yesterday as galaxy-wide traffic delays ground transport and finance to a halt.  “I’d estimate we lost 612-billion credits across the galaxy,” says macroeconomics expert Dora Voke, “and we would have easily doubled those losses if it wasn’t for the asari business holiday.”  While traffic flow between relays is back to normal, the effects are still being felt by commuters and vacationers.  “Unbelievable,” says Roman Basee, a citizen from Mars who was taking his first holiday in eight years. “The starline says they’ll rebook, but it’s just crazy that everything can grind to a halt.  The Citadel’s got to make sure this doesn’t happen!”

March 28
In a surprise move, respected Systems Alliance admiral, Steven Hackett, testified today before the Citadel council that the joint chiefs of the Alliance have relaxed their attitude toward the increased construction of turian dreadnoughts. “The Alliance is behind our councilor one hundred percent,” the admiral said, a significant departure from the Chiefs’ protests of the past. “Having recently conducted significant joint operation exercises with the turians, as well as smaller efforts with salarians and asari, the Alliance Navy feels the threats of the 22nd and 23rd centuries [Earth standard] will be external to the signatories of the treaty of Farixen.” Batarian ambassador Nel’Tarras Tilshan reacted vehemently. “The humans appear to be falling into a bloody-minded course, and we hope they turn back. Dreadnoughts are not for peacekeeping, they are for devastating planets! Hackett now sides with those who are a direct threat to the batarian people.”

EDIT: for some reason, the post was filled with partially-garbled code.  This has been fixed.


Wow, how'd you get all these?

I doubt Hackett is with Cerberus.

For starters, he does what's necessary, not what's convenient.

No no, Hackett is with Shepard.  You have to remember that Shepard is still the Hero of the Citidel and the alliance. He can also use Shepard to get things done that he couldnt get done otherwise.

Outstanding OP. Thanks, CyanidPontifex.

Speculation: Looks like the Batarians have been duped by the Reapers and are helping them find a way in. That would be consistent with the Earth getting attacked first.

Batarian Ambassador of what? They aren´t a Citadel Race anymore, or have I missed something...

"Hackett now sides with those who are a direct threat to the batarian people."

Weren´t the Humans a threat to the batarians?

(and it looks like the Batarians are gonna side with the Reapers...or at least some of them?)

Probably the Batarian ambassador on Earth, Even With the citadel governments would probably still have direct access to each other though ambassadors.

Kind of like now, We got the U.N but also ambassadors.

The Batarians still interact with the Galaxy they just pulled their support for the Council.

Thought about that too...but still - weren´t the humans the Batarian´s "No1 Enemy"?
Or are they having resentments against the Citadel Council races because they didn´t help them against the humans...?

Whoa, batarians have some legitimate grievances against humanity. I don't agree with their support of slavery but I don't enjoy killing them.

Our hate for each other isn't going to just go away like that and if possible I'd like to take the first step to ending it.

Next time you see a blink, give him a hug, not a bullet.


Their hate will go away when we eradicate them.

biotic charge + melee attack!, closest thing to a hug I can come up with...

I've never hated the batarians, other than the mad prophet on Omega... oh how I wish I could have shot him in the head...
