I'm trying to wiki Arrival... I get the Doc's nuts..... I kinda rolled my eyes at yet more indoctrinated ppl.....you can stall the Reapers, blow up the system..... etc...

But does Shep have to go on trial or is that a 'could be' sorta thing? The convo you have wi th Hackett?

[LordAnguis]

Cypher, apparently a lot people are figuring that Mass Effect 3 will open with the trial (from my understanding of other threads). This idea is sort of reinforced due to where the Normandy is once you finish the DLC. Check the galaxy map if you need to know what I mean.
Anyways, I'm sort of hoping for a trial in the beginning, since I'd love to tell the Alliance brass off for a few things. But I have to wonder if that scene in the trailer for ME3 is because Shepard was coming to stand trial.
But then again, from my understanding, the Alliance is actually based out of Arcturus Station (both the government and military), so I have to wonder why Hackett said we'd have to return to Earth.

[Chuvvy]

That one "Shepard escapes from prison" post, or whatever it was called, was actually pretty close to being right. I'm impressed.

[Shadowomega23]

Well even with the military brass being on Arcturus, it would likely have you being tried in Geneva as it is likely to be the primary Seat of all the Governments on Earth. But yeat ME3 likely will start of with a trial, at least we can get it out of the way before the action starts. *Tried to think of a bioware game with out some sorta of Trial*

Hi LordAnguis

Yup.. I saw the ending...heh..dress blues and face the music? I wonder if Shep will still possibly stand trial if you didn't play Arrival?

Either way.... this doesn't sound good

[badsky]

is there a way 2 save the batarian system and not stand trail

[LordAnguis]

Cypher: Yeah, it doesn't sound good. And I think that what most people are theorizing here on the boards is correct: that they'll have something like they did with ME2. You know, where they talked about the Geth attack and Sovereign, and Shepard being sent to deal with the Geth. Probably use that sort of thing to cover LotSB and Arrival for those who don't download those.
(Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of someone who didn't download either of those if they had the choice? I honestly can't see the reason not to download story-based DLC).
Anyways, yeah, Cypher, the whole thing looks grim to me too. I'm getting a sense of Tali's trial, but without the blasted Charm/Intimidate, unless they for some reason decide to do the trial on DLC.
My Question is this: For those who have a Spacer Shepard, will Mama Shepard be around in ME3?
Shadowomega, thansk for the suggestion regarding the whole reason for Shepard being tried on Earth.
Oh, I just had a rather irritating thought: Shepard is forced to escape Earth as the Reapers descend upon it. (Nightmare inducing).

[LordAnguis]

badsky, no there isn't. The only option in that regard was trying to warn the colony, but that Reaper-loving **** blocked communications.

[Gravbh]

I'm going to guess that the reaper attack on earth will start during the trial. The defense rests.

[Cypher0020]

Hmmmm that'd be a great I told you so moment? Reapers start blowing up the Earth.... Shep is freed?

[Gabey5]

play the dlc

During Shep's trial:
Turian Council member: "Reapers, we have dismissed those claims".
*Orbital laser strike through courthouse roof, Turian Council member turned into puddle of goo*
Shep's lawyer: "I rest my case".

[ROF_Inferno]

im not trying to discredit any1 but id bet on it theres no trial at least not before the reapers invade.

1. Hackett states he will delay the trial
2. all shepards dialogue virtually states he not gonna go till AFTER the reaper business is done
3. Shepards still a spectre so the hell with just Humanitys wants
4. Morinth 9/10 wont like shepard hanging round lots of men in a cell
5. im guessing a lot of u are just hoping the VS breaks shepard out
6.if the reapers are owning Earth and shepards on it how the hell he gets out
7. game Developers and just about every1 and everything else foreshadows Shepard going to try an unite the galaxy then comming to save Earth

Nice one.

Here's my version:

Reaper claw comes down and crashes half the room. the Council is in holographic form on the unobstructed side. View of Reaper is shown.

Shepard: So, Councilor Quotations, are you going to tell me the Geth built this one' points to others 'and those ones too?"

Turian Councilor: Shepard, do not attempt to disrupt galactic stability with your delusions. The Council has dismissed your claims.

HARBINGER: ORGANIC FILTH. WE ARE THE HARBINGER OF YOUR PERFECTION.

Shepard: Hey, Harbinger, this b****** doesn't think your kind are real.

HARBINGER: WE CARE NOT WHAT ORGANIC FILTH THINKS.

Turian Councilor: Shepard, your puppeteering doesn't help your (orbital laser destroys the holo-projectors.

Shepard: Nice one. now, I'll see you in a few weeks and kick your ***!

Shepard dives between piles of rubble, meets up with Brit Sniper who gets him onto a one-man shuttle. Shepard flees Earth while Brit Sniper beats the crap out of husks with fists and than bullets.

If Shepard will go on trial then that explains why the devs decided to send Shepard alone. If he had taken squadmates they'd have to stand on trial as well, most likely on different courts, and it'd get complicated very fast.

Good points. Problem is, as stated above, more than just Humanity will require justice for 300,000 people dying. It doesn't matter they're Batarians, they're still sentients, and the Council also would try to avoid a war. Also, for Renegade players, the Council and the Alliance are one and the same.
 While the VS breaking Shepard out would be rather interesting, there's also the fact that they have to deal with the whole 'get new equipment, crew, and erode the skills' issue, which they explained in ME2 by killing Shepard. Can't do it again, so they'll probably use the whole 'prison' idea. Also, I'd bet we hit a trial, get sentenced to some off-world prison, the Reapers attack Earth while sending some new minions to kill Shepard. We break out, escape the planet (maybe with the help of others in the prison) and head either to either Tuchanka, Omega, or Hegalaz.
 Also, in regards to the whole ''Council Spectre' thing: I'd bet anything the Council's going to try and keep an eye on the 'First Human Spectre' more closely, as they did in Mass Effect 1. (I personally want to tell the Asari Councilor about Vesir and how yet another of their Spectres has gone against the grain.) Speaking of Vesir, anyone else think if we bring her up to the Council/Tribunal, whoever goes after us, that they'll say we've got a far worse atrocity and just make whatever our punishment is that much worse.
 I hope we at least get the chance to tell Joker or Miranda to get the Normandy out of there once we hit the ground. I don't want the SR-2 to join SR-1. Especially with EDI.
 Oh, here's an interesting idea for a jailbreak: either a Cerberus squad (Renegade Shepard) or a Geth squad led by Legion (Paragon).

You said it very well, I think. Come the holidays, we all get to see how Shepard fares in a trial. (I wonder if Spacers have Hannah Shepard show up).

 Another thing I thought about: Is it possible that Liara, as the new Shadow Broker, might aid you in getting off the charges. (Blackmail certain members of the court, etc.)

Speaking of the whole 'LotSB' and the 'missions' you can assign people elsewhere, anyone else find the one about Udina fascinating, especially the outcome? I loved it.

[ADLegend21]

Judge: Commander Shepard, how do you plead?
Shepard: I plead that I am a spectre and I can do what I want as long as I don't endager the galaxy and you'll see by destroying the relay, I delayed a reaper invasion.
Judge:.....next case!

If you're talking about the "smear campaign," it's never actually stated which politician gets smeared. People just assume it's Udina because he's in the picture.

Well, think about it: he's standing where the Turian Councilor usually would in that picture of the Council. And let's face it: if there's anyone that would do what the 'Smear Campaign' investment said the corrupt politician was doing, it's Udina. I personally think they wouldn't picture him in the foreground if it wasn't him. They'd put a picture of the Council (plus Udina if you chose Anderson) all in a line, given equal space.
 But that's just my opinion.

[Shadowomega23]

Well actually the Population is actually shockingly less then I people actually think. The way the Batarians see slaves as property not not people then only 90,000 People died, as I remember that the Plantary Data shows 90,000 People are (free) while the rest are all slaves. Though that is likely a mixed bag of races. Also Who knows how a trial might go, condisering all the things that the Batarians did to the Council races though all the years, even their last attempt in Mass Effect Galaxy I shocked that a war didn't break out.

[RailTracer]

Maybe Shephard can get a descendant of Phoenix Wright to defend him/her

[Airell]

9 months tell we find out.
So long to wait.

tbh the prosecution could at least argue that everyone on the Normandy is an accomplaice. Shepard arrived in, and escaped from, that system aboard the Normandy.
