Hehe, I figured that was too obvious. Plus, I never really saw Miranda as a brandy drinker.jtav wrote...

Guys! I have a small fic-related task for you: Come up with a drink that Miranda might order at a bar. An actual name is required. THIS IS IMPORTANT STUFF.
But, yeah, basically, I could see her ordering some asari-made thing. Problem is the game doesn't really name drinks other than ryncol, which sounds like (bad) medicine (not the Bon Jovi kind). Meaning you have the opportunity to suggest a suitable drink-type along with a name.
I can see you positively salivating at the prospect!
maybe a shade darker in color.

Why not name drinks after locations or stellar classifications?
The one above would be an "Agebinium Sunrise" or a "Red Dwarf".

Thank you EmeraldFern. I quite like this!
Only thing I'm wondering is why it's so bright?

Well I have an idea what it might look like:

Oh, and naturally if the poster is eligible for the Miranda fanbook, then by all means consider it contributed!

Any discussion of a Miranda-themed drink reminds me of this scene from Casino Royale.

Well thing was I tried to add "poster-paper textures" to it, and I might have gone overboard on the texture's brightness....

If I may make a suggestion maybe you could c&p the "Why we like Miranda" section of the OP?
I like it! Though I may use a slightly altered version...unless you want to make a more obviously asari-linked suggestion.Ieldra2 wrote...

It would be very nice indeed.kratos0294 wrote...
You know something that would've helped a great deal in the game. To have a picture of Miranda in Sheps room. I'm a softy and i like to imagine what the characters are thinking. When my Shep finishies a big mission, if he could come back in his quarters and see this picture....i don't know, it would mean so much to me. That she is here for him, that he thinks about her, that he misses her, he is worried....damn, how hard would be to simply put a small picture.

It's a good suggestion. There are some things that will be in the book that are not in the tally, such as a DLC wish list, introductory letter, that sort of thing. A "why we like Miranda" page is definitely a good idea.

And how's the DLC wishlist going to be? You're putting together the discussions we've had here and on #FindMiranda?

Flemm, the book is turning out great, let's hope we can get 30 letters.

@fongiel:
I'm sorry that "Masks and Mirrors" stayed unfinished. I haven't given up on it completely - the problem was that the file with the complete chapter 3 plus a romance scene from chapter 4 was destroyed when my HDD had a hiccup and my USB stick went defective on the same day. Demotivation set in, and then my betaing and co-plotting for DoI took up way too much space in my mind.
. I was interested in seeing where you were going to go with it. I can't judge though since I haven't done any writing since around that time either. CrutchCricket wrote...
What difference does it make? First off remember the compartmentalized cell nature of Cerberus. Despite working there for 20 years there's no guarantee she's come into contact with more than two or three dozen people. And there's nothing that says she didn't use a code name when part of earlier cells (maybe during the operative days). I've previously stated that she used other code names when on missions but she could easily have used them within an operative cell as well.
And what does knowing her name really do, even if we are talking outsiders and enemies of Cerberus? It's a big galaxy. Probably millions of Miranda Lawsons at least. Finding one specifically is ridiculously difficult, even if they connect her to her father. I get why you would compare her with Sarah Walker but the sheer scale of their worlds, space vs Earth and Cerberus vs CIA throws most of that out the window. Even if all her aliases got burned, there are limitless places in the galaxy she can hide and limitless more options for redisguise. For all intents and purposes she's nearly as untouchable as the Illusive Man himself.
Asari-themed? I thought this had something to do with Miranda? Anyway, I'm not the best person to ask about asari-themed stuff. I might come up with something like "The Consort's lack of distance". Or make a rule that all asari drinks have to be blue and have "Azure" in their name.hot_heart wrote...

She definitely would take that precaution, and I still find Bioware's refusal to acknowledge that even in passing a failure whose effect is all out of proportion to the effort it would've taken to give her a cover name. It would've been so incredibly easy. Just name her father something different. That would've retconned "Miranda Lawson" to a cover name without any bad side effects except that Oriana names herself Lawson as well in her ME2 mail.fongiel24 wrote...
However small a ****** Miranda's laissez-faire attitude towards hiding her identity may be, it's a potentially fatal one for both herself and Cerberus. Considering how easy it would be to hide her identity, I find it very difficult to believe someone as careful and coldly competent as Miranda wouldn't take that precaution.
