It is true! 

[jtav]

Well, my plans for an unloyal Miranda didn't work out, so I've decided to go full Paragon with her. I'd forgotten how much happier she is. Ah, well, I thrive on angst and all's well that ends well, particularly if the unhappy Miranda is also more likeable.

That and Cerberus has discovered a material as durable as ablative ceramic, stretchy as spandex, and about as thick as a sheet of paper.

Chinese women walked in foot binding shoes for centuries. I'm sure they'll manage.

One of their more successful operations, all things considered

The one thing in ME2 I never want to see the light of day again is the hammerhead. If I never see it again it'll be too soon.

Normandy Cargo Bay

Shepard: So this is Cerberus' version of the Mako?

Miranda: Not quite, after Cord-Hislop went over budget on the Normandy we had to cut costs.

Shepard: By equipping the ship with a hovercraft?

Miranda: Its the base model, so be gentle, it doesn't have the same millitary-grade ceramic armor that the Mako had.

Shepard: Then what exactly does it have for armor?

Miranda: Spare operative-issue jumpsuits. The quartermaster on Minuteman had a surplus of them and from my personal experience, they're rather resilient.

Shepard: Wait, your jumpsuit can stop mass accelerator fire?

Miranda: Of course it can, why else would I wear it?

Shepard: Uh...I should go...figure out how to fly this thing.

Is that true about Miri's..uh...wonderful...outfit? O.O

Going back to the subject of Oriana and Miranda, how exactly does the extended lifespan modification of their's work? If Mr. Lawson figured out a way to slow down the aging process, wouldn't that technically make Oriana look younger than 19?

The only thing I could think of that could handwave this is some sort of gene silencing treatment that would be admisistered once someone created by Lawson's process matured that would activate the longevity modification, but that's just my theory.

Growing up and aging are different. I've done the math, actually. Suppose that you're grown up at 20, and Miranda says she'll live half again as long as the average human. Also, as by the Codex, humans can live up to 150 years.  Average lifespan in the developed countries for women is about 80 these days.

Which means that Miranda can live up to 225 years, and her apparent age, using today's standards, calculates as

AgeApparent =  20 + (AgeReal - 20) * (80-20)/(225-20) ~ 20 + (AgeReal - 20) * 0.29

For the apparent age by the ME universe's standard, just substitute 80 with 150 in the above formula).

For instance, she's now officially 35, but looks like a 24-year-old of today, while people in the ME universe would judge her to be around 30. Once she's 90, she'll look like a 40-year-old of today, and people in the ME universe would think  she's around 65.

Yes.

Shepard still hasn't caught on.

But please, don't tell him. We don't need to see his ass in the same caliber we see Miranda's. Jacob is bad enough.

Have you ever seen the movie Batman and Robin, directed by Joel Schumacher? If you haven't, let me say 2 things. Bat-ass and Bat-nipples. On men.

Do you guys think that Miranda is suspicious of TIM's motives when he made her wear that catsuit?I personally think that Miri is highly suspicious of TIM's motives when he makes her wear her catsuit.

TIM already has his harem of Asari.

I'll gladly take Miranda, though.

Am I the only one who thinks of Home Improvement whenever someone says TIM instead of The Illusive Man?

"I don't think so, Tim!"
*grunting* "Oh oh oh"

I fully expect the Illusive Man to randomly blurt out-

"There are some who call me... Tim."

Off topic, but my god, the pic of the Mako up there is hilarious.

I'm actually surprised that never happens in ME 2...

[jtav]

I tend to mentally edit it to the hi-res version, which is less silly. I don't think TIM thinks of her in a sexual way, or vice versa. TIM strikes me as a man for whom sex is here and work is over there, and never the twain shall meet. Miranda mixes them all the time, but her relationship with TIM strikes me as more pseudo-familial on her end.

I've always seen it as more of a mentor/apprentice type relationship.

[Dr. Doctor]

I'm sort of hoping that the relationship between TIM and Miranda is given more detail in ME3. What confuses me is that according to the leak Miranda is TIM's second in command but we never see any allusion to that fact in ME2.

The catsuit to me is there because for the most part when writers invoke the Femme Fatale and Super-Spy tropes the Spy Catsuit trope comes along with the rest of the package. Besides Jacob, and most other Cerberus agents wear some approximation of the standard-issue Cerberus catsuit.

Doesn't she outright state a few times that she's his XO?

[jtav]

Shepard's XO, but ME2 gave the impression she was no higher-ranked than Grayson or Leng within Cerberus. No wonder taking orders from Shep stuck in her craw.
