Oh and have this one - before I go to bed:

Diary Entry #3
Shepard's Log #3102

Diary Entry #4 - Ashley Williams
============================
Skipper ... don't know how to say it. Javik ... Chakwas wasn't able to stabilize him. Right now Liara keeps him in stasis to keep him alive, but that's all we can do. She told me if we can't get some support soon, the last voice of the Protheans will go silent.

Wish I could tell you better news. I'm not even sure if you will ever read my diary. We have enough food and water supply for a year and the flora seems to be edible. Doesn't mean we can survive here forever. So ... in case you can't get to us in time, this diary might be the only thing left of me.

One more thing, Skip ... I hope you'll never give up. Neither yourself nor me ... nor your family. We're all waiting for you.

- Ash

Alright, a bit off-topic, but I really want to ask this question. During the coup, do you let Ash kill Udina, or your Shepard makes the shot. Plus, your motivation for this decision.
Just curious.

I always kill that son of a ****. He's had it coming since he stabbed Shepard in the back in ME1. I'm paragon but I'd have shot the little **** right there and then if I could've. I knew he would be more trouble than he's worth back then.

Trust me, it's personal.

Anyway, when someone has pulled a gun on important figure, there is no time for hesitation.

My Shepard let Ash take the shot. She's a SpecTRe and she needed to learn on her own what that truly meant. Sometimes it means pulling the trigger on someone you know, your boss even. But if they're a threat to the council, you have to end them.
As an N7 at one point, I'm certain Shepard may have had to execute renegades, rogues or deserters during his career, even if he didn't understand the reason why or even if he agreed with their point of view. Becoming a SpecTRe to him just meant his bosses changed, but the job description remained the same. Protect the boss and protect yourself no matter the cost. That's something Ash needed to learn...
Not sure if that makes sense, but it makes sense to me.

[Hellfire257]

Is it wrong that I'm imagining that Shepard with a baguette and a bottle of wine instead of a rifle and a shotgun?

And yes, before anyone asks, my Shepard ALWAYS carries a teapot with him wherever he goes.

Does Ash wear an Alliance version of the Nemesis armour?

[DWH1982]

Good job again with the dialouges and fan fics, everyone. I really enjoy reading them.

@Omega: Did you have trouble getting your Shepard's cheeks to look right? Mine didn't import properly either, but I was fortunate enough to have the face code written down. Unfortunately, using the face unaltered gave him VERY puffy cheeks. He looked like he was storing nuts for the winter.

[Dannycni]

Shar, thats a really cool lower pic of Ash I love it.

I'm enthralled with CptData's work and I'm desperate to find out what happens lol

[BP93]

lol where do you get the Alliance beret? Mods?

[shar42]

@BP - Yep, by modifying your coalesced.bin.

[DWH1982]

I've been kicking some ideas around in my head lately about what a squad "reunion" would look like that would involve all the surviving squad members from ME1, 2, and 3.

The original thought is that it would take place sometime during my "head canon" ending where Ash and Shepard are togehter on Intai'sei. Like I've said before, the squad members are the closest thing Edwin Shepard has to family, so I think he'd eventually want to see the people he cares about again.

The only hitch: I'm honestly not sure how well Ash would get along with Miranda and Jack. I don't think Ash ever interacted with Jack, and the only time she met Miranda was on Horizon in ME2 and the Sanctuary mission in ME3. Not much interaction during the Sanctuary mission, and in ME2, their interaction was limited to Miranda's somewhat snide comment about Ash's "typical Alliance attitude."

So, yeah, as cool as a reunion might sound, I'm not sure all the personalities would work out.

[survivor_686]

As much as I have would have liked Ash to have more interaction I have to admit she does play some key roles in the story in ME3.

- Testified before the subcommittee regarding Shepard and Reapers
- Aided in recovering the Normandy during the Reaper attack
- Protected Liara from Eva (admit it Liara lovers, that robot would have ripped her apart in close quarters)
- Protected the Council from the Cerberus attack (who kept them ahead of all the troops cerberus sent for them)

Also equipping her with a Revenant transforms her into a goddess of war. Even if she can't hit the target, she damn well "suppresses" it.

[DWH1982]

I've yet to see Ash work with a Revenant. I did manage to bring myself to start another ME3 playthrough the other day - with plans to stop before the game ends. Think when Ash returns to the Normandy, she's going to have a Revenant waiting for her as a "welcome back" gift. With a nice bow and everything.

Trust me she is deadly with it. Pair her up with Liara or Tali to bust enemies out of cover and just let her rip. Be sure to boost her "Marksman" skill.

PS: in my headcanon, Shepard offers the Revenant as a welcome back gift too..

[survivor_686]

By the way, anyone know whats the relevance of the "S1" she wears on her armour?

[DWH1982]

She has it before she's a Spectre, so I'm guessing it's just some special forces reference. If I recall correctly, only N7s wear their exact special forces status on their armor. N1-N6 don't. So, maybe they have S1 instead.

Or maybe they just worked out the armor design before they knew Ash wouldn't be a Spectre from the very start of the game.

So I think we may have moved away from the topic, but since I want to see others opinions on this:

In my little head Ash:
-almost always has something sarcastic to say, which she has gotten in trouble for in the past.
-has that tone of voice and atitude that suggests she is flirting but isn't really, its just part of her nature (unless talking with Shepard, when she means to flirt)
-obvioussly loves her family, and wants to have her own one day, with a good number of kids
-has some kind of vice that can be easily and playfully made fun of by Shepard (ie: coffe)
-has a large amount of survivors guilt, like with Eden Prime and Virmire, which makes her close with my Sole Survivior Shepard
-has an undeniable weakness for Shepards behind, and will almost die out of love when Shepard recites poetry

My colonist Shepard hasn't had much of a family outside of the squad for years, so he'd be okay with this.

More than okay, in fact, with both the end goal, and the process involved in getting there.

I wonder how long it would take them to decide to have kids, though, and what it would mean for Ash's career. Although I do think she wants kids, I don't see her ready exactly at the end of ME3, as she's finally makeing career progress after years of being stuck, and she just became a Spectre. I think she'd want to build on that more first (which Edwin Shepard would also be okay with).

I kinda imagined Shepard and Ashley being a husband and wife team of Spectres. She'd be the bad cop and I'd be the good cop. Maybe they'd switch it up to keep it fresh...

So many possibilities?

[DWH1982]

I'm not sure how much Edwin Shepard would want to stay in the military after ME3. I imagined him coming away with a long physical recovery ahead (hence their extended time together on Intai'sei) as well as emotional scars. He really liked Mordin, Thane, and Legion, and never really had the time to properly deal with losing them. Nor did he ever have time to deal with the things he saw during the Reaper invasion.

So, yeah - I'm thinking that, as good as he was at being a Spectre, Edwin Shepard might really want to move away from that. He'd encourage Ash to keep serving, because he'd always be there when she comes back. But the fact is, after ME3, he might very well have personally had enough.

That said, like Ash, he also has a strong sense of duty - so he could end up being sucked back into things against his will...

You know the Irony? I really liked Udina in ME3. "Finally!", - I thought, - "the guy has good writing! Better than Shepard's". Bit of a shame, really. Yes, I really think ME3 Udina has better writing than Me3 Shepard. And it's not only "I have to go", which is already a meme here, when you really need to go, but out of options to say someone to buzz off.

My thoughts exactly.

PhoenixIsra wrote...

I let Ash kill Udina, it just feels more satisfying to me, it gives Ash a chance to do something of note plus it helps make up for the fact that she was aiming her gun at Shep a few moments before. Shepard is always killing of the bad guys off so I figure it's nice to let Ash have a moment of glory too.

I'm with Hellfire on that. Letting someone do something is very dangerous. Not quite appropriate manual, but quite fitting description from Die Hard 1 - "if you want to kill someone, don't hesitate".

Plus what really pisses me off during that coup thing, elevator phase:
- Team rushes into lobby and spot Kai Leng with phantoms entering elevator. Why nobody threw grenade there? Or two. Or three. My Shep and Vega got 12 - plenty to spare.
- Top level, "VS standoff". Why Shepard's team stand in such close formation? Spread, idiots! 3-5-10 man intervals and that's all, zugzwang and checkmate, no way VS protect Udina from three shooters spread that far. And VS should be absolute, complete, total moron not to figure what's what - if three persons aiming one councilor, but not shooting.
No, really.

Wine and baguette? Well, I'm teetotaller, so I dunno. But milk and baguette - why not.
And not instead rifle and shotgun, but with them.

Nah, my carrying military mess kit. Of course it's not kettle, but quite useful thing. Trust me, I carry one.

[Instance]

My Shepard would probably do what he does best, fixing other peoples problems while on board the Normandy, I think that with all that Shepard did he would be more than able to ask for the Normandy as his own "personel" vessel kinda like an Admirals Flagship. So he would still be in the Aliance and still be a Spectre, just like old times. Who knows maybe the Zephlagaratians from galaxy 54yhgksdf decide to invade the milky way and he has to have a Reaper war all over again?
