I purchased the ME1 soundtrack off of Amazon the other day.

I haven't had time to listen to the entire thing - holy crap, there are a lot of tracks there - but it makes me think of how it felt to play ME1 for the first time. Then it makes me think of how ME3 ended, and I feel depressed and a little bitter.

I know the EC is supposed to make things better, but from what I can tell the endings still don't feel quite right. The EC just made them less horrible.

At least I know for sure that Ash and Shepard will be together under the EC, even if it means rendering all of my efforts in the quarian/geth storyline meaningless.

 After seeing the N7 Typhoon in multiplayer I really want to give that to Ashley. It should be very useful with her Marksman ability.

If you're on PC, mod the files to allow the Striker to be used in SP. Give that rifle to Ashley and watch the killcount soar. Activate marksman and watch the screen explode.

But yeah ther than the Reegar, Kishook and Striker no other MP weapons can be modded into SP. Something about them being stored in a different directory.

I think Ash will keep her trusty Revenant in my playthroughs.

I love the ME1 soundtrack, I listen to it all of the time. I also have the soundtracks to ME2, 3, and the DLC's in between. But ME1 is the best.

@fahRENheit; OMG, that chapter was so awesome! I'm hooked.

[BP93]

Yeah, between Ren and Badpie I'm not sure which one I want to accept as my headcanon. =P Both of you are great writers.

On an unrelated note... My fingers ache typing this. But thats the price to pay for finally getting Bad Moon Rising on the acoustic right. I got it down pat now.

I give Ash and James the Particle Beam X, they do work with it.

Ah. You played the new Earth DLC then? Is it any good? I downloaded it last night, but never got around to actually playing it.

ASHLEY!



And I heard there's an update on Officially Unofficial - kekekeeke  *away off to read*

scotiej - Ash and Miranda are -really- similar in that field. They don't throw themselves at Shepard right from the beginning. The game creates the illusion Shepard had to put some effort in them to gain their trust and finally their love. It's really easy to do so, that's why I say "illusion" - but it works.

That's exactly how my headcanon saw it, too. Ash and Miranda don't need you/Shepard, you/Shepard needs THEM. I liked making Miranda someone Shepard would be drawn to in Officially Unofficial, because she and Ash really are similar (though they'd still probably hate each other).

I don't really see Tali as trying to get into Shepard's pants. She's more like a lovesick puppy. She respects him for saving her life and adores him. Liara is a slightly older version of Tali, since Shepard also saved HER life and probably developed feelings for him the same way.

- Ren

Hence the reason why I like Ash & Miranda equally.

With a decent romance arc for Miri in ME3, I'd feel the same.
The way it's done currently it's nearly useless: Ashley gets her own full romance arc ('though lacks everything else), Miranda only has very few scenes and a very dissatisfying "romance arc". Except the hint they're "doing it", there's not much else - except you're a heartless dog who gets Miri killed.

It's simply a shame BW treated most characters substandard with ME3. Ash got the worst treatment of the squadmates in that game, Miri got a very light plot, but one that's not story relevant at all. Even Thane's short cameo had more impact, Mordin's plot was fully fleshed out.

With a decent romance arc for Miranda in ME3, I'd give her a try. IF I ever can go through a ME1 without romancing Ashley.

The valkyries of my peoples norse mythology would have been proud of Ashleys EPIC warcry!

Time for a dialogue ...

Ashley: G'morning Skipper ... uhh ... Shepard?
Shepard: *barely can hold himself at CIC galaxy interface and groans* ... unnngh ...
Ashley: Yesterday's party?
Shepard: *nods*
Ashley: Hmm ... think it's a good idea to test the fire alarm system.
Shepard: I pay you a million Credits not to do that ...
Ashley: Two and we're even.
Shepard: Taught you well ... *weak smile*
Ashley: Do a coffee and two painkillers help you to get back in working condition?
Shepard: *groans* ... nah. I'll get better. You know me.
Ashley: I know a guy that doesn't know when to stop *snickers*
Shepard: And I know a girl that constantly teases me.
Ashley: Still have those painkillers ... right here. *shows a small pocket at her sexy hips*
Shepard: You're doing it again.
Ashley: You love it.
Shepard: I love you. That's a difference.
Ashley: You love me because you love everything I do. *smiles*
Shepard: Maybe.
Ashley: Painkillers?
Shepard: Yeah ... *rubs head* ...
Ashley: Here you go. And ... mind if I tell you that part of the party you were gone?
Shepard: *takes painkiller* ... not sure about that.
Ashley: Don't worry. You didn't do anything you would regret today. Maybe except drinking all the booze.
Shepard: Thanks. Nah ... don't wanna know.
Ashley: Too bad *smiles*.
Shepard: Just don't say I flirted with Wrex or tried to embrace eternity with Liara and I'm fine.
Ashley: No. You just kissed Garrus at his good cheek and told him you love his fine Turian ass. *laughs*
Shepard: Ouch ... really?
Ashley: No. Just kidding. And I'm glad you didn't accept Diana's offer to spend the night in her cabin. Speaking of, Samantha was so wasted, she grabbed Vega for a "happy round". I thought she was into girls only?
Shepard: Maybe drunk Sam loves guys too? *smirks* ... and Allers? Oh man, Ash ... I'm yours. Besides that ... did you hear the rumors? She had tried it with nearly every male being on this ship, including Kenneth.
Ashley: And ... ?
Shepard: Kenneth refused.
Ashley: He's with Gabby after all.
Shepard: Well, I heard he has eyes for you too. Even with Gabby..
Ashley: Same for Sam. *snickers* ... and I can't get rid of the feeling, Liara want to mindsex with me as well.
Shepard: You're sexy. That's it.
Ashley: You could say that more often, Skipper.
Shepard: Only if you have more painkillers ... *ugh*
Ashley: Next time Wrex asks you to try Ryncol, simply say "no".
Shepard: Did it only to get his respect, Ash.
Ashley: Would you go down to a pitfight with a Thresher Maw just to get his respect?
Shepard: *gives Ash THAT look*

Wrex: Shepard you remember when we cured the Genophage?
Shepard: Yes Wrex I remember, why are you asking.
Wrex: Well it looks like some crazy Asari remembered that she use to be an Archologist and wants to go exsplore those ruins you managed not to destroy.
Shepard: You make it sound like I go out of my way to destroy ancaint ruins Wrex.
Wrex: Well these was this time we went to save some poor little Asari from some Geth on Therum, those ruins lasted 50,000 years before you showed up.
Shepard: Ok fine, back on topic why are you telling me this?
Wrex: Well I was thinking that you might hold it against me if I let Liara go and she got eaten by the mother of all Threser Maws, and as we both know being on your bad side is not a good idea.
Shepard: So what you want us to go and hunt down the mother of all Threser Maws then?
Wrex: *Grins*
Shepard: Let me get my Widow *walks away*
Wrex: *shouts after* Did you mean the gun or Ashley?
Shepard: For your sake hope it was the gun.

Something that mgiht be in the next Duet Effect Chapter. Or at least a similarly themed scene.

Shepard shut off his com with a bemused shake of the head, rolling his eyes. He turned to Williams who seemed to enjoy the whole exchange, a knowing grin on her lips.
"Sisters." Shepard offered it as an explanation with a shrug, "What are you gonna do?"
"Oh - no need to tell me sir. I've got three." Williams countered, folding her arms.
Shepard looked at her gravely, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"You have my pity." He said somberly.
Williams nearly lost herself to laughter. "Thank you, sir."

@BP93: Whoa, that's quite a compliment. I defer to Badpie as the foremost authority on all things Ashley. I think her Untitled Effect was one of the main reasons I even considered starting to write, since I'm not a professional or even amateur writer. Just for funsies when I get bored of art direction all day. I do know I need to get to the Normandy memorial before Badpie finishes Hope From Ruin otherwise I might risk subconsciously stealing all the great writing.

Huzzah! I appreciate the kind review. Maybe you can help me with something. I got an anonymous review where the person said they had trouble following Chapter 12's mindmeld ping-pong. Since they didn't sign in, I can't PM directly to see where I can clear things up and find out specifically how to improve it. Was there any section in particular that gave you any trouble? I sometimes stop seeing how fresh eyes interpret things cuz my mind is so far in it and filling in gaps.

Slow thread is slow.

And must admit, I'm out of good ideas, new topics and such ... *sigh*
Also lost someone I really loved to know much better - she's going back to Columbia. Well, in a way I'm glad - that way I won't get tempted to try more.
Overall I'm done with women. The next event is to have vacation @ springbreak with one of my buddies and till that one I plan to break up with my girl.

In very short words: I dislike my life today.

I've been a pretty mad guy this week. And don't know why...I guess its my time of the month??? Just irritable and such.

Maybe I need to join a fight club, or find a girl..

Here is an Ash pic:

I prefer faux arrogance. It lets me walk around my job all day telling everyone "No and shut up. I got it. I'm awesome." What can I say? I'm a good, modest, Catholic girl. With a foul terrible mouth.

I was wondering... Can you as an engineering technician build a mass relay, which can slingshot us into another galaxy.

You can land on Eden Prime, and I´m contempt in landing on a couch on Omega with Asari dancers shaking their blue butts in my face?

[CptData]

@BP93 guess it's a good idea to leave then
Nah, I don't watch any TV shows or something, simply get beaten down every day for a while now. Can handle it much better that last time, five years ago ^^

Ash thread is slow, that's it.
