One of my favorite moments, just that gentle hold he has on her stomach; hugging her from behind. I love it. :wub:<3


That's the only part that I like from the love scene, when she melts on Shepard's arms.


I agree. I feel like this was the only part of the love scene that actually had feeling. The rest of it was like, "Hey! Wanna see if we can do this with our clothes on??"

she can still be carried off by the seeker swarms


She does have plot armor at that point. Even if she is carried off by the swarm, she'll return next scene.
Shepard doesn't even scream her name like he does if the any of the others are carried.


You have got to be kidding me.

Shepard: Hey, are we missing someone?

Garrus (looking around) : Not sure.

Jack: It does seem awfully quiet in here. Wait. I'm not arguing with anyone. (She looks around.) Cheerleader! (She starts crying.)

Grunt: She got carried off by those swarms of bugs when she couldn't hold the barrier. It was a glorious death, so I didn't want to screw it up for her.

Shepard: Whatever. We should go.

(Miranda is suddenly dropped out of the sky, landing in front of them with a thud. She rolls onto all fours, groaning in pain, covered with bugs.)

Shepard: Oh hey.

Miranda (meticulously picking off all the bugs and throwing them away) : Thanks for letting me be carried off by those seeker swarms, Shepard. I have bug bites in places I don't even care to think about. They took me to their queen, and I had to answer a bunch of stupid riddles to avoid being devoured. Really, I only hope that someday I can find a way to properly thank you for what a ----ing lovely experience that was.

Jack: She's been back one minute and she's already complaining.

Grunt: You humans can't do anything right.

Shepard (handing Miranda a pink bottle) : Here's some Caladryl. Since you apparently can't die, your next job is to hold the line solo.

Miranda: Oh, and YES, I WAS SCARED! Thanks for asking.

good point there


If you keep the base, she doesn't resign, but she does express doubts about the decision and about Cerberus' goals (actually "our goals," I think, but that still means Cerberus, pretty much, in that context).  So, Miranda at war with Cerberus feels like a pretty good bet.

Miranda captured by Cerberus is another possibility, I guess. Somewhat supported by a Casey Hudson tweet that suggested she might be in trouble, though that could mean any number of things.

On a somewhat related note: do you think we will actually fight TIM, mano a mano, like a regular boss fight? I have a hard time picturing that. But there is likely to be some confrontation. How do you think it will go down? It's on topic, I think, because it seems pretty likely that Miranda might be involved.



No, I feel like the Illusive Man is too...well...illusive. I can picture storming his office, and we see him standing there, but it's just a hologram, and he's off on some god forsaken planet. He's like Cerberus' president, if he was in danger, he wouldn't remain in the same spot. He would be constantly moved about the galaxy until the person persuing him somehow figures out where they are going, and gets there first, or gets tired of chasing, but considering the giant sentient machines dying to om nom on every organic being in space, I believe Shepard has more to deal with at the moment. XD

Hmmmm...... all of these are possibilities, but in the case of TIM, the reapers probably made him into a slave like saren.

Moral of the story: Plot armor... It's handy to have, but it doesn't help you make friends with the less privileged members of the squad Image IPB

I have to ask: Are we really sure that TIM will be a normal human when we meet him on ME3?.

No, I'm quite certain (in my own personal opinion) that the Illusive Man is indoctrined in some way that might be unique, or at least torn up by some sort of prothean technology, as per his freaky eyes.

like I said, the Reapers probably turned him into a half Reaper kinda like Saren.

No, not as far as I know. I suppose anything is possible. Martin Sheen is still voicing the character, I believe, but that certainly doesn't rule anything out.

Compare this to resolving the 'cheating' and it just doesn't seem worth it to prolong that to more than just a cut scene where you choose whom you want to stay with...

Definitely.

People here are too much focused on relationships. We're not in a soap opera, damn it, and both Miranda and her "competition" are more than just LIs for Shepard. :sick:

One of my conspiracy theories is that he is kind of like Saren, but the exact opposite, like he was touched with their technology and now thinks that if he had visions, be believes he knows how to take down the Reapers; instilling Humanity's power within the galaxy, and allowing the attacks to cripple the other species so they ultimately have to listen to humans.

I see him as a sort of silent, futuristic, Hitler.

I don't think that he is indoctrinated. If someone know about the virtual aliens, can you imagine TIM acquiring their technology to upload his mind to a virtual world, then download it to a new body (a very powerful biotic)

Well, to be fair, a lot of people in the thread seem to basically agree with that perspective. But obviously the relationship angle is of some importance as well.

That is by far, one of the greatest conspiracy theories I've evr heardImage IPB
Futuristic Hitler... so brilliant.....now all we need is the Illusive Hitler stash and it would be perfect...
and the reapers would probably kill TIM if he succeeds.

I agree with you, with the caveat that I love romance and find it far more interesting than saving the galaxy because that part's rather dull.

That appears likely. I hope he's not too one-sided, too, as I posted in his thread. I've always been of two minds about him and Cerberus, and would hate to see him down the road of the stereotypical villain.

As for Miranda, I very much doubt she'll be with Cerberus long, even if you keep the base. But I think it's possible that TIM convinced her to come after Shepard, and that we'll have to convince her to leave for good (or kill her, if you're one of those incomprehensible people who hate her).

I romanced only Miranda : so no catfight problem.

@Skullheart
Nice sigs !
I like the first one, but you should try to find a better picture for her eyes (without the red point in her eye)

Well I'm hoping there are enough twists and turns to make the story more interesting than just DAO (gather allies => save Earth and beat the Reapers for good) type of story

Only through the saving-the-galaxy part do we get to see the most interesting aspects of some characters, including Miranda's. The plot - well, I find the Reaper plot interesting, but in the end it would be nothing without characters as fascinating as Miranda.

I wouldn't want to miss out on romances, but I sometimes I feel that this isn't the Miranda fan thread but the Miranda romance fan thread. And I have a very limited tolerance for mindless gushing.

To do that the central characters will have to have a strong personal stake in the events, beyond just saving their own lives and everybody else's. So, in a sense, that's where the romances and friendships can play into the main plot, especially when sacrifices need to be made.

Heya all,

I can't really think of a better place to post this, but I feel I owe it to my readers to give an update of sorts about the status of my fanfic Degrees of Inheritance since I've been getting a slew of people asking when I'd update the next part.

Chapter 6, which is the penultimate chapter, is a monster. It will definitely be more than 30k words, of which I have 20k written so far. Unfortunately, I've been blackmailed into going overseas for the next two weeks or so and it's not likely I can get any writing done during that time. I'll still try my best though, but much apologies for the delay. It does look like the earliest date I can release is early October, but I promise the chapter will be chokeful of plot and character development you'll forget about the wait. It is the homerun, after which Chapter 7 will wrap everything up.

Thanks for being so patient and I return you to your regular programming.

Just saying that since I'm somewhat involved in the development of Elyvern's story, I feel this is all 100% correct - this difficult and very long chapter will be the high point where everything comes together. It will be worth the wait.

@Eyeshield21:
Noticing an evil does not mean I have to let it stand without comment.
