In the Alliance military, Staff Command IS full commander.

So doesn't that mean Shepard and Kaidan are of the same military rank now?

Shepard is only ever called 'Commander'. This could be a diminutive of either 'Lieutenant Commander' or 'Staff Commander'. There is no 'Commander'

I didn't mean to suggest that I thought Commander was an actual military rank.

Sorry if I sounded hostile. Didn't intend it that way. I think Shepard's probably a Lt. Commander, but we're never given a direct answer.

Anyway, better get back on topic.

If Shepard is considered to be part of the navy, then Commander is an actual rank. Anyhow, the event in Germany is the next possible place where we might hear/see Miri related things?

Yep. GamesCom, August 18-21 in Cologne, less than an hour from where I live

I'm *really* hoping to see Miranda there. Being one of the first would be awesome. I'll be there on the first day, maybe on others, too, depending on events.

Ooh, if I remember right there's Foo Fighter consert around the same time. Not one of my favorites, but there was a competition to get there. Anyway, nais..

Same here Jebel, I'll be there on the Friday checking out ME3 for sure along with BF3 and lots more; should be a great day. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out a convention, will be the first gaming event I've been to as well.

Ask me what I feel when ME3 comes out in the Americas three days before I can get it.

As for actually playing a demo, I'd love to but I guess they won't have a PC version there, and I'm no good with an xbox controller. Moving works, but I'm lousy at aiming. Aiming fast....just doesn't work.

Shephard's rank is that of Lieutenant Commander, between the events of ME1 and 2, Kaidan was promoted twice... which is actually pretty unusual I think.

[Ieldra]

Hmm....there is too little of our favorite beautiful superspy in here:



And can we please stop the military ranks talk. It's gone on for more than one page, and it is utterly boring.

So, since I'm having a blast creating a hero for Miranda in my current story, let me ask you: what kind of person do you think suits her?

How often is someone promoted in the military?

Depends on the state and what country etc.. It happens more often during time of war/crisis, but after certain point, at least in Finland the commissioned officers get promoted once a year, max.

It depends of many things (and it doesn't work in all the country the same way). But being promoted twice in two years is very unlikely, especially with high ranking officers.

But in the game where a commander is leading a small squad on the battlefield (a NCO job) ... you can't expect something very accurate I guess.

It generally gets a bit slower in moving up ranks the higher you get though, Kaidan essentially skipping a rank is very unusual, and probably has much to do with the fact that he was on the team that fought and defeated Saren etc (which is somewhat amusing, considering Shephard and those under him could have been booted out of the service for running off with the Normandy for any number of reasons, not least of which would be gross insubordination etc)

I think you see things that you want to read imo, and I watched the short again to see if you're right or not. To me, she's just working to protect Cerberus' investment, considering they spent about 4 billion credits to resurrect him thus far, and therefore not keen to report to the Illusive Man: "Well, we revived him, but he went and died on us almost immediately." It's not at all unregular for nurses to smile at their charges as well, for no other reason than to give reassurance that they're in right hands.

Ok so you say it's all strictly business 4 billion credits then you say a nurse smiles at her patient for reassurance.  Which is it ?  TIM spent 4 billion credits if it's just about keeping him alive for that reason she would have been at the monitor watching Wilson to make sure he doesn't screw up again.  Not Smiling at Shepard.  Right ?  It's all about protecting the investment.  Or is it ?

Realistically speaking, how is it even possible for her to develop feelings for him before she's basically met him? I mean she's undoubtedly read Shephard's dossier, but she hasn't obviously held a conversation with him, or do you think she's just being quietly admiring his body for over 2 years, which seems incredible considering at the start she was probably up to her elbows in 'gore' (meat and tubes).

It's just plain unrealistic imo to expect that she's fallen for him at that early of a stage. I'm guessing if you're arguing this, then you pretty much have to believe in love at first sight, which I don't, so with that in mind I'll just stop the argument here now that I think about it.

This is my position on it.

[Agreed with all of these. I might add: Shepard challenges her. And Miranda likes a challenge. As I see it, their relationship will, at times, have elements of a competition. 

It's very strange you mention that when I literally just wrote something to that effect moments before logging in.

jreezy wrote...

Not trying to argue or anything but why is it so unlikely to have Ashley/Kaidan as an XO?

Kaidan is an officer, so it's not unlikely. An XO is an officier's position. He would've made it there if he put some work into it.

Ashley is a NCO, your basic grunt and automatically inelegible for the position since she's not an officer in both ME 1 and 2. Since it takes years to get an officier's commission, I doubt she'll be an officier rank in the following month's leading up to ME 3.

Plus, she has no taste for politics, diplomacy, and has no personal experiance in managment skills for beauracracy. Just combat leadership. An XO needs all of the above.

I think it's from the codex as well, but don't quote me on that.

Re: Miranda being attracted to Shepard during Lazarus. You have no evidence. None. She performs the exact same facial animations with a female Shepard and treats them identically at that. Therefore, we have to have a theory that encompasses both version. And. frankly, Shepard is in bad shape for most of that time. Hideous. Besides, isn't it more meaningful if she only becomes attracted by proving he deserves it by risking himself for someone she loves?

Your opinion is interesting. 
Personally I don't agree, I think she fell for him during or just after her loyalty mission, before that, I would say that she respects the Spectre, and could be interested in Shepard as a person due to the fact that she knows everything about him.
But you're not the first one I see posting this kind of theory, and I don't see major flaws in it. It's just your interpretation of her romance.
