Mr. jreezy there is an expert on Star Wars games and we should never question his opinion. Just pointing that out.

...Who the hell is Starkiller?

I mean...I hate SW references. I only get like 4 of them.

Bendak Starkiller? No... I think it's someone from a bad Star Wars game.

Bendak Starkiller - KotOR (Mandalorian Duelist on Taris)
"Starkiller" - AKA Galen Marek, Vader's "secret apprentice". 

Both were named after the original name of Skywalker in the rough drafts of Star Wars.

To be fair, SW:FU wasn't a bad game. I haven't played the sequel though.

but enough of SW.

IKR? (I know your comment is sarcastic)

In a Miranda thread, and people are honestly saying Jack is better than she is.

Eh, it's not as if being the world's greatest fighter is a big character trait for Miranda. Yes, she is a very good fighter and all that, but I'm not really scandalized by the idea that some people think Jack would beat her in a fight. Kind of irrelevant, really.

But my comment was more related to the fact that this is one of those arguments that just comes around occasionally.

The sequel is short and poorly written. Still fun enough to play I guess. But yeah, moving on.

I think we've successfully derailed the derailment. Of course as soon as I say this someone will bring it back just to spite me. But I find it amusing nonetheless.

Anyway, on a mission, other things being equal, which approach would Miranda prefer, stealth or guns blazing?

I'll ignore that you just asked a really dumb question.

Stealth.

Fine you come up with a better Miranda topic. I'm tired and can't think of ****.

I've already come up with various entertaining Miranda topics, almost all of which have led to genuinely fruitful discussions. Remember kitchen sex? That was me.

I'll let you do it for once.

Okay, you want a topic:

We've met quite a few Cerberus operatives in the books and comics. Kai Leng, Paul Grayson, Oleg Petrovsly, Ashe. Do you think Miranda has worked with any of them before? What would be her opinion of them on a personal and professional level?

The hell it was. It wouldn't have gone on as long without me starting the food connection.

Maybe you could refresh us as to some of your other ones...

[AgitatedLemon]

Kai Leng? I doubt it. Isn't he a new recruit? Like, post ME2 new?

Paul Grayson, I doubt it. He never makes a reference to her. He also didn't work in the Lazarus cell.

Petrovsky + Ashe, I doubt it as well. They weren't members of any particular cell, if I'm not mistaken. They were based in their ship.

Here is what happens:
Jack, in a rage at Cerberus/Miranda, throws a strong warp/singularity, shock wave etc. that is not very accurate, Miranda (being athletic) dives out of the way and receives at best no damage and at worst broken ribs, arms, internal external injuries etc.) Unfortunately Jack's biotic attack blows a hole in the hull.. they both die by either vacuum or radiation, unless EDI can bring up a Mass Effect field in time but who knows how long that takes. So the winner is no one.

When you put it like that, the winner is Tali since she no loner has any competition.

I'm sorry, but in that case, I'd go back to ME1 and romance Ash or even Liara before Tali.

[jtav]

Leng was recruited some years before Retribution. Grayson was also a longtime operative, making his name in the organization in the early '70s. Petrovsky also seems to be a longtime operative. Don't forget Miranda has been with this organization for 20 years and that cells are on a project by project basis.

I just went back and read through that whole thing. I made the first food reference.

"What were you expecting her to do? Make him a sandwich?"

[MisterJB]

After the revelation in ME3, I think it's safe to say that, even if Miranda never worked with any of them, she had to know about them.

Kai Leng and Raymond Ashe are very similar and Miranda would probrably despise them both, even claim that they give Cerberus a bad name. But she couldn't deny that they are good at their jobs.

Paul Grayson. I can honestly say I don't know. He never really did anything to stand out while with Cerberus. I think Miranda could appreciate his belief in Cerberus' cause and his lack of xenophobic tendencies.

Oleg Petrovsky would be somone that Miranda could look up to and learn from if he was already a veteran on Cerberus when she joined. Otherwise, I think she would respect him greatly.

Well, Retribution is set after ME2, so Leng's join date is ambiguous.

But the cells are intentionally kept separate from one another so as to not compromise security. None of the non-Lazarus cells knew of the Lazarus project, for example.

I could definitely see her working with Petrovsky though.

To be fair to Grayson, he sabotaged starships and released dust-form Eezo, most notably, Yandoa. That particular event was the whole reason Gillian has any relevance. Grayson also led the team who attacked the Migrant Fleet (Tali mentions this in-game) to take Gillian back.
