Speaking of fanfic, the beta has advised me that it's safe to advertise this here. So, a bit of hopefully tasteful Miranda/Liara for you. Reviews welcome.

Very nice reading as always. I left a review. You should cross-post to the LDG

Don't you guys get tired of posting the same Miranda pics? Too bad BioWare hasn't released any ME3 pics of her.

I shall never get tired of posting and being in awe over the "same Miranda pics". How could you say such things?

But yes, i agree that it is too bad that BW hasnt released any new pics of her.

Yes, they could surely give us one or two decent pics without giving away too much.

A picture of her sitting in a captain's chair wearing an Alliance admiral's uniform and a confident smirk would stir the rumor pot nicely, for instance

@Jtav

I really liked the story, I'd be interested in seeing a continuation.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

I wish that BioWare would reveal a concept image or screenshot of Miri, instead of keeping us in the damn dark.

She pretty much said "FU" to Cerberus with her resignation. Her joining the Alliance would be the ultimate adding insult to injury.

The question would then be, did she get a commission, or did she just "find" the uniform somewhere, forge some orders, and "borrow" a few ships to go rescue Shepard, for instance? She has so little patience for bureaucracy, after all

No clue who the author is, sorry... found on my random internet search on Miranda Lawson

(1) She doesn't resign if you keep the Collector base
(2) That she leaves Cerberus doesn't mean she suddenly likes the Alliance. Recall her comment on Horizon?

I would dislike such a picture. I don't want Miranda with the Alliance and I hope she'll do her own thing in ME3.

@drwells:
That would be a more likely scenario. I would still dislike the symbolism if we got that picture without context.

I also hope that MIranda doesn't join the Alliance. It would seem so out of character. I understand her resignation form Cerberus if you destroy the base, I understand her staying with Cerberus if you don't. But I'd rather her be of doing her own sort of operation than have her suddenly Alliance.

I wonder what it would take to make her join. I'd think it would be some balance between independence and sufficient power/resources to let her influence events more than she could on her own. Maybe flag rank, or a Spectre-like position reporting only to Anderson, or command of a Section 31-like organization (since the Alliance is apparently going to need one to replace Cerberus).

Hell, who's not for wanting their favorite characters and story arcs to intersect with the critical path?

LOL, I guess no one is not for it, and Miranda is in a very good position to have such a story arc. If only I could trust Bioware to do it - with Liara on the team again in spite of having a very important full-time job where she could support the war against the Reapers much better than on the Normandy. I wonder how they'll justify that.

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

We can be reasonably sure that TIM will not be a normal human when we meet him in ME3. Beyond that, I have no idea. I don't think we'll get Saren 2.0 with him, and Mac Walters has confirmed that he wasn't a secret enemy all along so I take it he'll not be indoctrinated. How his experiences with the Reaper artifact has changed him - that's the great mystery, right?

As for how Miranda stands with Cerberus at the start of ME3, here are some of the possibilities I see:

(1) Miranda at odds with Cerberus and trying to infiltrate them.
(2) Miranda blackmailed by Cerberus into going after Shepard for them.
(3) Miranda convinced by TIM that Cerberus going after Shepard is necessary.
(4) Miranda captured by Cerberus.

[Dave of Canada]

Considering the unfinished business with Shepard saying, I'd assume she isn't captured or doing anything against her will.

Out of that list I'd hope for #1.

#2, now that I think about it, it would be tough to blackmail her. If she resigned from Cerberus, she would have to know she was putting Oriana in danger. She might bet that Oriana, being as smart/resourceful as she is, would have a bolt-hole ready in case she noticed anyone paying unusual attention to her. (Especially if Miranda foresaw such a possibility, and warned her.) Even if Cerberus did capture Oriana, Miranda would hardly expect TIM to uphold his end of the bargain should she agree to kill Shepard. She might pretend to go after Shepard, only to ask for her help with the rescue.

#3 would be an unhappy situation especially if Shepard romanced her, but could be interesting if written/plotted well.

#4, damsel in distress - please no, that's another squad member's job

[Ieldra]

I say #4 would be acceptable, too - if on the way to rescue her, we meet her in the process of breaking out. But #1 would be my preference as well. And I would prefer #3 to #2, provided that it's possible to convince her to re-think her course of action, for instance by some information that tells her TIM hasn't given her the full picture.

NOT IT!

There's already a "healer class" in ME. The Medic spec from the first game was a healer.

Liara went from quirky science girl to the being the big damn protagonist of the series because of popular demand, Hopefully this thread makes an impression on the writers.

We might just find her in a tough spot, a bit like Archangel in ME2. Which I agree could be fine. #1 would perhaps be ideal. #2 and #3 I like a lot less, but I also think they are a lot less likely.

Re: Miranda working for the Alliance, I think that is unlikely to happen directly, but I could see her taking a post on the Normandy, maybe even first officer. It would basically turn the tables on the situation in ME2, where we had a bunch of alliance people working on a Cerberus ship.

In Arrival, Admiral Hackett says something about not being sure it's even a Cerberus ship anymore, while Miranda is still the XO.

Re: pics, no, I don't really get tired of them, though new ones would be awesome.

[jtav]

#3 is actually my preferred scenario. She's not in distress and I get my dream of a Miranda boss fight. And if there's something wrong with Shep that she's trying to fix, it gives her a reason to stay beyond being Shep's stray dog who's there because she has nowhere to go.
