No, but let me give you an example from the chapter I'm working on.

Shepard is reading an article about the "virtual aliens" from CDN and geeking out. He's also brainstorming ways to interface with them safely. He gets called away, and Miranda has corrected one of his equations by the time he gets back. That's the kind of future I see.

What will you call the pacified Reapers? Would be interesting to see them becoming involved in the galactic world in synthesis...

I've been wracking my brains about that for months. How do you write those entities? How distanced do the remain. I think they would keep some distance and not become involved in everyday politics as a rule, with exceptions. As for what to call them, I've been playing with Legion's term.

@jtav:
I like that future. It provides challenges and the opportunity to do something impressive without having to risk their lives at every turn. Not that I don't see that as well, but only occasionally. They'll be glad to live in times where the survival of galactic civilization doesn't depend on them.

Seriously after all that in the games all I wanted to do was sit in a rocking chair, drink a beer, smoke a cigar and look at the stars and I wasn't even actually living the stuff. My Shep had to be more exhausted than I was.

I think that would be a realistic immediate future for those post-Ending Shepards who don’t have to deal with all kinds of problems remaining.

Still, I really don’t see it lasting for longer than a year or two on the outside. Shepard is a person of action. Miranda maybe even moreso.

Edit: that’s kind of Miranda’s problem in Unity currently; she’s got no clear mission so she’s kind of lost…until she finds one, anyway.

Some of us are working on a new group that the two of them can form. Sans the terrorism against civilians mind you.

That way they can both be active and be together at the same time.

We even have a name.

Does that include Miranda yelling at Shepard during work ?

You know it. I wouldn't have it any other way for my canon.

And about that name...





I'm sure I can sneak in a reference to something I want in there too in terms of rankings...

Just an FYI, flagging Miranda as loyal doesn't work.

[Taboo]

Shows me how much I know.

Well I guess she's doomed then.

The problem I have with the Phoenix stuff is that it sounds close to some elements of Jack's past with Teltin. Or at least the details are a bit vague, so you're wondering from where exactly these 'upgrades' that 'dramatically improve biotic and combat skills' came. And that those troops are a 'result of the Illusive Man's early experiments in enhanced human physiology'.

Though that might make for an interesting angle in my story. Jack's leading young biotics, Miranda's leading...a bunch of Jacks.

Well, it would just mean that there were Cerberus cells who accomplished certain things without the type of treatment of subjects that occured at Teltin. Sort of like Lazarus accomplished a lot without that type of atrocity. 

So, it would be similar in a sense, but different where it counts.

Oh no it's a new organization entirely.

A new organization born from the ashes of Cerberus...Phoenix. This has nothing to do with the Cerberus Phoenix program itself. Two seperate things.

This has to be a new organization. Whatever Cerberus was is dead.

But that doesn't mean a new organization can't be created to Miranda and Shepard's specifications.

True. I'm probably just overthinking BioWare's way of saying 'these guys are tougher than those other Cerberus troops, and you can play as them!'

But, still, biotics popping up everywhere!

The great thing about the Phoenix is that it exists in multiple cultures. Rooted in human ideology. Rebirth and resurrection.

It can be seen all over the Middle East, Asia and even India. It's a fascinating metaphor.

And I just got another name. Marvelous.

I think you and I are gonna get along reeeeal well.

Hard to be mirimancer this days..I saw a poll on one of our russian fan forums about ME3 LI. So results were (from 145 respondents) as follows:
Liara -46 %, Tali - 23%, Garrus - 19%, Ash - 17%, Miranda -9%(i ignore the rest). I was shocked by the number. This results shows what Bioware did with character.

Not just a Mirimancer either. Rather, a fan of anyone who isn't Liara, the VS, or a Dextro.

Looks like we're the lepers of Mass Effect 3 romances.

"You like Miranda, Thane, Jack, etc.?"

"WELL TOO BAD."

Well on the other hand, being a fan of Liara, the VS, or a Dextro brings you tons of hate, sarcasm and witty remarks everytime you start a thread on these boards. So don't worry Mirimancers, the BSN provide the right amount of problems for everyone who is just a fan of the series.

No you don't.

Really, I'm ashamed of how you're treating the new guy.

As for Shep/Miranda being "just a man and a woman" no thanks. My Shep likes being exceptional and he's always going to be striving for the next challenge. I don't want settled-down domesticity. Marriage? Certainly. Children? Eventually. But there's a big world out there and discoveries to be made. I want that.

Really, it doesn't need to be spelled out that when people say "Shepard is doing X..." that your Shepard might not do, then they're talking about their own Shepard. For a game with no set canon beyond the barest of frameworks, people seem to have a hard time with shorthand opinion.

Actually, isn’t there a mention about the ‘research’ that was done leading up to Lazarus that wasn’t quite, you know, humane?

No you don't.

Other characters get more hate than Miranda.

We get more content, obviously, but we get plenty of hate.

You'll notice that most people in that thread are opposing the OP, who is one person (and a known troll). Your link is also not in line with the person I was replying to.

Completely OT:

I wonder if Miranda has a spastic colon...
