Would you guys mind another teaser, or would that be excessive?


I can't think in any reason against it. You are more than welcome to do it.


Edit:

[quote]The next time he came to, the pain had receded to a dull ache. Michel was gone, but Miranda stood sentinel over a nearby console. "You're awake. Good."

"I sort of wish I wasn't." At least his voice sounded human this time. "What are you doing here? What am I doing here? This isn’t the Normandy.”

Miranda frowned. "What do you remember?"

That was never a good sign. The Alliance medics had asked him what he remembered after picking him up from Mindoir and again after Akuze. "I had a nightmare about the Normandy being attacked. It wasn't a nightmare, was it?"

Miranda shook her head and went to his bedside. "Cerberus tracked you. I don't know how yet. They sent Kai Leng after you."

"The one that killed Kelly?”

"The very same." Her voice was cold, but Matt knew the subtle variations in Miranda's ice now. This was rage that cut all the more for not being explosive. It was the rage she reserved for people who harmed those under her command. "Damage to the ship was minimal, but I'm afraid she will be in drydock for several days. There was only one casualty, but…" She bowed her head.

Matt didn't need her to finish. "Chakwas.”

"I'm sorry."

"Damn.” He and Chakwas had never been truly close—occasional shared drink aside—but she had been something better. She had been familiar, one of the few constants in his life as his allegiance had shifted from the Alliance to Cerberus and back again. She had believed and trusted in him in a way that even Kaidan hadn’t. She’d survived so much that he assumed she would make it to the end. "I'm so sick of losing people."

"And he nearly got you, too. That's why Liara called me. I'm the only person who isn't dead or indoctrinated that even remotely understands the technology you have inside you. It's nothing that won't heal with time now, but you had us all worried there for a while." She smiled weakly. "Then again giving the rest the galaxy a mild heart attack is what you do best."

"The only person I want to give a heart attack right now is Leng. Preferably if it involves ripping it from his chest." He winced. "Of course, first I'm going to have to figure out how not to get my ass handed to me."

Miranda's face was suddenly grave. Not just older. Serious, like some goddess who held the secrets of the universe and wished she didn’t. "That's why I stayed after you were stabilized. You remember that I wanted to implant you with a control chip."

Matt nodded. Learning that his ex-girlfriend had wanted to mind control him had been one of his more unpleasant shocks upon returning to the land of the living.

"I wasn't sure what you’d be when you woke up. You might have gone insane and murdered us all. The Illusive Man was determined to bring you back exactly as you were, but I thought it was too dangerous. He wouldn’t let me alter you directly, but you're almost as much machine as man. Any machine can be hacked."

Dread spiraled through him, slow and certain. "What did you do?"

"A virus. All I had to do was press a button on my omni-tool, and your implants would be under my control. I never got very far in developing it—had to do it on my own, and you proved very quickly that you were still the stubborn, brilliant fool that you always were--but I still have the preliminary work."

"Is there a point to reminding me how absolutely terrifying you are?"

She smiled, and her eyes glittered with triumph. "You aren't the only one with Lazarus tech anymore. Everyone's favorite assassin has it.”

Looks good.I like the way you are writing Miranda still caring for her old crew, but reamining professional at the same time(the emotions don'tdomine her). Looking forward for the full thing.

You wrote Reunion to verify and define their relation (distant relation). Now you are saying that Miranda is his ex. You really like to tease us.

And btw...

11:25 EviLChrisPriestly: Hmm.. should I reveal a minor Tali game secret? For a donation?

11:27 EviLChrisPriestly: Cool, but doesn't impact gameplay

11:29 EviLChrisPriestly: This really doesn't spoil ME3 at all. Casey would kill me

11:29 EviLChrisPriestly: Ok. Minor thing that I think is cool.

11:30 EviLChrisPriestly: Tali was not going to be a party character until the COmmunity (yes, including teh Talimancers) demanded her. She becmae a party member.

11:31 EviLChrisPriestly: I thought so. The COmmunity wanted it, so they got it. :)

11:32 EviLChrisPriestly: Well let me tell you about teh quarians. They... oh, hello Casey. *signoff*


It really looks that the devs listenned to some fans... too bad that maybe they ignored some others.

I like it, although all I can see is Miranda hacking Kai Leng while muttering "assuming direct control".

Lovely. Just makes me want to kill her more. Sorry Talifans.

And Matt isn't her ex now. I'm working off a continuity where they knew and loved each other years ago. Hmm. How to make it clearer?

Funny thing i'd just been playing ME2 and had got to the stage where i could play Tali's loyalty mission without wanting to garrot her. Sleep worked, new plan is to do side missions & put off killing characters for the moment.

Well, I think I get it.

Same Matt from young artist. They could have started a relation after he turned 18 and joined the alliance. But at some point they lost contact.

Then they rencounter in 2185. With the first control chip talk he refers to Miranda as his ex. And during the course ofME2 they end together.

Am I getting it or not?

This is what happens when game developers cave in. Now I absolutely hate a character that's not even that bad, honestly.

lol? When I first came to BSN I had a Tali banner in my sig..... which apparently meant I lost the respect of half the community just because of that. Ever since I joined the BSN I have been dealing with this so I have gotten used to it. So, yes I think I will laugh at other fanbases. Its not like I dont do that anyway and its not like you people dont do that to other fanbases. So really whats the difference?

I'm angry too, but perhaps it's better to seethe in private? Being a Tali and Miranda fan is not mutually exclusive, and we don't know who lurks.

I see you decided to help maintain the already reputation of your fanbase. Carry on then.

Ahh yes. You miss the point entirely, as expected. People stereotype fanbases based a few people. If you truly see the fanbase that way because of me then you are an idiot.

You know Miranda will likely still play a large role in ME3, perhaps wait until we get more info before overreacting?

There would be a lot less disappointed fans if there were less
characters in ME2. There were too many pointless ones. Jacob could have 
been replaced by the VS, Samara by Liara, grunt by Wrex/Wreave....

Yes, have Wrex run Tuchanka from the Normandy, maybe the VS wouldn't have the same role in ME3 if they did that (specter), etc etc.  You don't like Miranda, so why keep posting in here?  It's fine not to like a character, but to keep going on and on isn't helping you are your reputation. it isn't the fact that your a Tali fan, it's the fact that your obviously trying to start sh*t with other people.  I was here during the whole "Tali outbreak" in the original forums, but I understood that most fans were fine, it was just the few who went to far.  So don't use that excuse as a reason say some of the stuff you say.

I was giving suggestings on the spot. Must they be dissected that much? There are many possibilities. Also this thread is for Miranda discussion so I may discuss the character all I want. Also, do you not know who I am? I already have a reputation on these forums of being a douche. I find it funny that when I try to be more resonable and explain why people are disppointed, THEN I get told to leave? Very strange.

Its not like I do anything wrong so I am not sure why that is... but this is not the place to discuss that.
