Ashley: Admiral Hackett, Sir ...
Hackett: Commander Williams. Good to see you. Take a seat.
Ashley: Thank you, Sir.
Hackett: Let's drop the ranks, Williams. This meeting isn't official - it's private. I'm sure you're familiar with the Battle of Shanxi?
Ashley: It's the defining moment of my family's history. My grandfather surrendered to superior forces to save civilians.
Hackett: Exactly. He did it to save lives, but was blamed for surrendering as the first human to an alien race. I think it's time to set something right here. The name Williams is no longer tainted by history but cleansed by your deeds in the Reaper War. You made yourself a name.

Ashley: Sir ... thank you. May I ask why you called me for this private meeting?
Hackett: Of course. It's a special mission - one where your skills and your Spectre status is needed. I'm sending you into the Terminus Systems. Take the Normandy, I already assembled a basic crew. You might pick some extra crewmembers as well.
Ashley: I see. Is there anything else I should know before I depart? Also I may need to visit the Citadel and talk to ambassador Shepard-
Hackett: It is about Shepard. He vanished a few days ago - my sources told me, he was seen piloting a shuttle into the Terminus Systems. I want you to find out why.

But he's also no longer in fighting condition. Some knucklehead even wanted to promote Shepard to a Council ...

Three months ago ...
Ashley: No kidding ... Tevos asked you to join their ranks in the Council?
Shepard: Sparakus supports me too. Ash ... I was a soldier for my entire life. I'm no politician.
Ashley: No, you aren't. But you must say - solving two century old wars shows some diplomatic skills. And they consider you as the face of mankind, a hero.
Shepard: All I did was to slap some sense in some political dinosaurs. That's it. No diplomatic skills involved.
Ashley: Maybe that's what the galaxy needs now? Kind words won't rebuild worlds, but action does. You're a man of action. You ... do you remember why you recommended Anderson as Councilor? Because he was no politician, but a soldier. A man of action, like you. It just wasn't his time.
Shepard: *shakes head* Ash ... I did enough. This isn't my fight. There are ... better people. Ashley, you know me more than anyone else. I can't be a soldier anymore, and I'm no politician. My act is done. It's time to make place for those we fight for ... we lost friends for. Ash, it's your time, not mine.
Ashley: Nonsense. You're still Commander Shepard, first human Spectre.
Shepard: Doesn't a hero deserve some rest, Ash?
Ashley: Yes. He does. And this is your chance to do something without getting a gun put in your face every single day. Take the job.
Shepard: I think about it ... but I'm not sure if I'll pick that option. Maybe ... maybe as an Ambassador, for a while. But that's it.
Ashley: Sounds good enough. And ... Shepard?
Shepard: Yes?
Ashley: Don't get into political crossfire. I'd really hate to see you finally get beaten down by some bureaucrats and corruptionists.
Shepard: I'll try my best. And what are you going to do? You ... you won't stay here, right? *bit sad*
Ashley: No ... I'm going to do some jobs for Hackett. The Normandy won't be the same without you, but I'll take care of her. And I want to check for you as often as I can, Skipper. That's all for now ...
Shepard: Maybe I should take the Councilor job - those guys have Quantum Com. Ambassadors don't have.
Ashley: No. Besides that, you're still a Spectre - and last time I checked the Spectre's room has a QCom as well. We stay in touch ... I love you ... *smiles*

Thats it!

Just completed my 3. playthrough of the saga. Im putting ME on ice until the Levaithan DLC comes out (maybe still a little MP).

And if anybody is considering picking Morinth over Samara, DONT! There is ZERO payoff for her character.

...you get to shoot her in the face?

Though I do hate fighting banshees.

Great dialogue. Please keep this thread alive! I hate seeing Ash threads dying out. There is always something to talk about Ash! :) yeah I agree about morinth. I never picked her cause I'm fully paragon but I think I fought her as a banshee and i barely noticed it. Btw is that what the new DLC is called? If so, I can't wait. Even though me3 was dissapointing, it's still more new mass effect and hopefully Ash for me.

In my headcanon, Shepard is still Captain of the Normandy.

I hate this in endings- they are too open.

Some knucklehead even wanted to promote Shepard to a Council ...

Some knucklehead: Shepard, Can we talk?
Shepard: Yes, what's going on?
Some knucklehead: In the name of galactic Council, I'm pleased to announce, you are promoted to new Human Councilor.
Shepard: *Put hand in pocket and rub inside* Okay... send them that *Takes out his hand*

I imagine Shepard's future would play out much like Maverick's at the end of Top Gun. You know, where he can pretty much do anything he wants anywhere. I don't see him becoming a council member though...

Also, in my headcanon, this anything anywhere involves lots of Ash.

No one said Shepard took the position. And the ambassador job is just a trade off since someone wants to place Shep at a visible spot off the battlefield.

Needless to say Shepard grabs his gun and starts his very own mission ...
The journey just has begun ...

I don't agree. Shepard place is in Alliance or in the Normandy. No other option.

Hmmm.... I would have to agree here, Alliance or Normandy otherwise he would get to bored.

Yes, if you talk to her at the hospitals more than once you an talk her down with renegade charm options. Has to be the red highlighted line though, I'm not sure what happens if you take the regular line at the check, since I'm sure it kills her.That's bad m'kayyy.


Two things I will never do in ME:
1.  Break Up with Miranda if I romanced her in ME2 (that scene is HORRIBLE to watch).
2.  Let Ashley die.  

Yeah Miranda's brek up is incredibly sad, but you should honestly have a few Kaidan playthroughs. YOu're not any less of an ashley fan to like Kaidan and he's an incredible character and change of pace and adds dynamics on your squads in late ME1 and in ME3.:wizard:

Oh God... I just watched opening of Olympics on tv... It was awesome! Just awesome! There was everything! Oh, and this British humor. =)
God, England has very beautiful culture.
I'm just impressed, very, very impressed. :)
Sorry, just wanted to show my impression. :)

Ok, about top...
Yeah, I remember that beta version of ME1. Shepard there looks so creepy... And Ashley is different.

@survivor, I read chapter 3 of wrath of thunder a few days ago. I loved it, ready for more.

In regards to the original version of Shepard, I have a texture skin that I put my xbox that has the original ME1 box art. Shapely Ash and original Shepard's face included.

ah but he's NOT Carth. He's Kaidan Alenko. If sharing voice actors meant sharing character traits ashley would be a wheelchair bound information broker because Kim brooks plays Oracle in the Batman Arkham games.
 Trust me I used to be the same way, but you can't knock it until you try it.:wizard:

Kaidan isn't that much different than Carth and I have to admit that Carth did pop in my mind for some time when I played ME1 the first time. I never thoguht about Jun'Ko when Shepard was around.

The difference is that Oracle's voice is slightly different.  Also, Oracle is F****** AWESOME.  Carth is a putz.  Which is too bad, because I like RS on Once Upon a Time.  Though he sounds totally different in real life, which just confirms that he used the same voice, and thus they're the same character, and I really wish he'd just stayed on the Endar Spire...

So yeah, it's just too late for me.  Ashley must always live, so I have decreed from my (imaginary) mountaintop.

@ADLegend - Have you ever considered the fact that maybe some people just don't want to... I have ONE Shepard with Kaidan and I've never been able to finish it.

@scotiej just wondering, how did you put a texture mod on your Xbox? And by the way in my canon, my Shepard is retired on a beach house with Ash, on her home colony, close to her family. And that's after they go around the galaxy with ALL his old crew for a couple of years doing missions 'just like old times' Garrus ftw. And to me I don't think that is too much because I think it's totally realistic.
