So this begs the question then; do we stop? I know that sounds...I don't know....final, but there it is. They kept their careful/careless words for months, and now they are finally admitting that they wanted Thane to die. (artistic integrity again??) So where do we go from here? If they have no intention of giving us anything more, which IS there prerogative, then do we continue to spend our time (and with some of you lovely Thanemancers, money) on these projects? As I have stated (obnoxiously so) before, I have not played the game since March. 7th. Never finished a play through. Do not intend to under these circumstances, and most CERTAINLY will not spend anymore money on the ME IP. Never played/nor will play MP.
My only thought is......does BW "close" the door on Thanes character; on us. It is something to ponder, albiet a depressing one.
Sorry for being so abrupt in this.....it is simple a gut reaction, as I am sure many of you are having right now as well.

Ok Jen - I'm trying to help without pissing everyone off. Such a fine line...
*hugs* Dani - hang in there! The fanbook will be awesome and it will be a testament to everyone's (mostly you and Myth) hard work! Thane deserves it, even if we never get any more content. At least we and everyone else will know we tried!!
be sure about it. it gonna throw bioware from their chairs like a hurricane

Oh Dani! I really should edit myself better....you have been amazing. Everyone has, and truth be told, I would really like them to reexamine what they are saying (Thank you Jenlock for the Twitter repost). The Fanbook most certainly should be sent, and if you need any help, you have but to ask, my pet!
BTW, for those on twitter, has anyone ever said (in regards to Thane dying is the story they wanted to tell)something along the lines of:
'....and another optional story, in a game of choices, is out of the realm of possibilities??'
Dooooooooon't worry you are helping me soooooo much without knowing you can't imagine at all <3

Gn...RL decided to take me away this evening....
But don't lose hope everyone!
Dani, the fanbook won't be ignored, if they even think of "putting it somewhere" then the twitter storm consisting with "Did you guys see the fanbook of 300+ pages full of Thane?" will blow them over. Trust me. I won't be quiet on that front.
I really hope the internet will work again soon for Myth. Because I really get the intention that she is getting crazy at the moment xD I reall imagine her running through her living room. shouting: sooooo much work I need to do this and that and Dani still didn't send me everything for proofreading and I have no time anymore and.....xD Yeah that really could be xD

I had replied to that lady that doesn't like miracle cures
genophage=miracle cure/quarian w/o suit in a few years/nothing for drell?logic? #SaveThane
then he says: Genophage and Rannoch were foreshadowed forever. If planned to cure Thane, you'd've heard it.
then he snuck this in while i was writting my reply to the first one(the knife into the heart): Not saying it isn't sad. It hit me hard. But curing Thane wasn't story we wanted to tell.
me: Hanar working on cure isn't foreshadowing? or lung transplants?
saw that horrible thing and said this: maybe you can reconsider. It's only sad because shep doesn't care her LI died. #SaveThane
him replying to hanar cure and lung transplant thing :Perhaps you listened to a different Thane Investigate than I did.
what does that mean? i didn't get it so i said this: ? just heard what Thane says and the LOTSB dossier about lung transplant for him
and he says this: I heard Thane say a cure was a long ways off, and he wouldn't live to see it.
me:Mordin says genophage cure is years away as well
him:And then two long missions explaining what changed.
me: no reason things can't change for the drell then
uh about shep not caring
he said this:Not caring is other issue, one I'd love to address if it fits somewhere.
me:shows no emotion that he's gone/never says she loves him/when you lose people you're sad
me:The crew doesn't say anything to her or mention him/they fought with Thane too.
me:would have been nice for her remember him before cerb/base/ Keythe read LOTSB letter
while I was writing those he said this and was gone..guess didn't want to discuss shep not caring after all.
he says this: I'm sorry that it makes you sad, but I don't think we heavily foreshadowed a cure.
i just..*sigh* i hope i did ok..
*edit* for horrible jumbled mess

Can someone help me with something?
I want to gather all the Thane/Cure/Hints and start throwing it around Twitter. It'd just be a few in-game moments of convo, and a few screenshots, ne?
Need links to:
-CDN Mention of Medigel for the Lungs.
- That random junk letter, talking about a Drell with Keprals.
-Thane's convo w/Shepard regarding the cure the Hanar are working on.
-Chakwas' medical report.
I'll tweet it to Weekes and maybe some others. Whatcha think?
Thane's words regarding Kepral's Syndrome in ME2:
Shepard When we met you. You said you were dying.
Thane: Yes, I thought you'd want to know more. You do not have to worry about the rest of the crew. My illness is not communicable, even to other Drell. It's called Kepral's Syndrome.
Life Expectancy:
Shepard: Are you going to be alright until the end of the mission?
Thane: I should be fine for another eight to twelve months. The more time I spend in humid environments, the faster it progresses. I think it's safe to say that by the time my body is incapacitated we'll be victorious or dead.Either way, I won't be a burden to you.
Kepral's Syndrome:
Shepard: What exactly is the problem?
Thane: My people are native to an arid world. Most of us now live on Kahje, the Hanar homeworld. It's very humid and rains everyday. Our lungs can't deal with the moisture. Overtime, the tissue loses it's ability to absorb oxygen. It becomes harder to breathe. Eventually, we suffocate.
Shepard: (Why can't it be cured?) Can't they do something about that?
Thane: The Hanar have funded a genetic engineering program. They should be able to adapt us. The project has only been running for a few years. I don't believe my body will still draw breath by the time it bears fruit.
Shepard: (This shouldn't be a problem.) Then don't live on Kahje or use breathers.
Thane: Drell have a close relationship with the Hanar. We rely on eachother. The best we can do is keep our homes very dry inside.
Shepard: (Can we help?) Is there anything we can do here? Normandy has a state of the art Medical Bay.
Thane: No, thank you. It's being attended to. If the finest medical minds in the Hanar Illuminated Primacy can't solve the problem, I doubt your ships' medic could. Thank you for your concern, trust me, this won't affect my performance.
Shepard: (You seem calm about it) You don't act like a dying man.
Thane: You have the advantage there, Shepard. You've already died. Perhaps later you can give me some suggestions.I can do nothing to alter my fate. One advantage of my training is that I've always to some degree considered myself dead. Thank you for your concern, trust me, this won't affect my performance.
From ME2 (in-game)Codex:
DRELL: BIOLOGYDrell are omnivorous reptile-like humanoids with an average life span of 85 galactic standard years. They give live birth to their young who are capable of eating solid food from the moment they are born. Drell appearance is very similar to asari and humans, but their muscle tissue is slightly denser than that of humans giving them a wiry strength. Many of their more reptilian features are concealed, like a three chambered heart with a muscular ridge that is capable of shunting oxygenated or deoxygenated blood as needed.
One unique characteristic, however, is the hyoid bone in their throats which allows them to inflate their throats and produce vocal sounds outside the human range. Would-be assassins have noted that these two features make drell extremely hard to strangle or suffocate.
Because the drell ancestors emerged from arid, rocky deserts the humid ocean-covered hanar homeworld of Kahje proved tolerable only when the drell stayed inside a climate-controlled dome city. Due to this huge disparity in the two species' homeworld environments the leading cause of death among drell on Kahje is a bacterial lung disease called Kepral's Syndrome.
Within a generation of the drell's arrival on the planet the disease had become resistant to hanar antibiotics and other advanced treatments. Once an infection settles in, death is slow but imminent. Transplants may buy time, but as the infection spreads to other major organs there comes a point of diminishing returns and eventual system failure.
Thane's ME2 (LotSB DLC) Medical Report from Dr. Chakwas:Lung Capacity: 42% (left-side lung shows large lesions, right lung has nodular lesions only)
Antibiotic treatment: Now resistant to cipoxidin, malanarin, alburcin
Metastatic progress: stomach, liver (minor), heart (negligible at this time)
Treatment Options: Viable transplant candidate but refused to be added to list - Synthetic lung generation currently impossible for drell
Therapy and Care: At this time, Mr. Krios should continue getting regular cardiovascular exercise in order to stimulate lung movement and prevent or delay the stiffness that causes lack of oxygen transport. While physical stimulation may also be beneficial in keeping tissues flexible, any injury at this point will dramatically impact Mr. Krios' body and cause rapid degeneration. It is unclear how much longer Thane will be able to serve in direct action. Thane should continue to wear loose clothing that leaves his chest uncovered to prevent moisture buildup that could worsen the problem.
The drell eidetic memory is often beneficial in allowing drell to escape unpleasant scenes by losing themselves in happier times. In this case, however, Mr. Krios should try to restrict the time spent reminiscing as prolonged sedentary activity increase the rate of lung degradation.
This suggests that what is best for Mr. Krios currently is to continue to remain active and engage with other team members in order to stay mentally and emotionally stimulated.
Thane's words regarding Kepral's Syndrome in ME3:Shepard:(How long will you live?) Do you know how much time you have left?
Thane: I've been to several doctors. My favorite gave me three months to live... nine months ago. It's freeing to find no requirements placed on me. No responsibilities, no fears. It is a good end to a life.
Shepard:(Does it hurt?) Are you in a lot of pain?
Thane: At times. The oxygen transfer proteins don't form correctly. Your human equivalent would be hemoglobin. As a result, my blood is low in oxygen. No matter how much I breathe in I get tingling, numbness ...and that is the best of it. As for my brain, I cannot track the damage. I just experience dizziness from time to time.

I think we can't stop now. That's what they want. I know it's hard, in moments like this, when it seems there's no more hope. We deserve better, Thane deserves better, and even if we don't get what we deserve, we need to keep figthing, and telling them that they did wrong.
I'm not going to buy more games from Bioware. I'm not going to buy any DLC. My best and dearest femshep is on her bed in ME2, with Thane by her side. She will never see ME3. At this moment, I expect nothing, and I don't think they are going to fix this. But this will not stop me for keep trying.
At this time, we know that it's not going to be any Thane DLC this year. And maybe they don't want to do it next year. But we have 6 months to change their minds, and show them that this is the right thing to do. We need to stay stronger than ever, we can't give up so easily. Don't lose hope, they can't ignore us forever.
Remember this:
"I love you. If all else whispers back into the tide, know this for fact. By grace given me by the Goddess Arashu, I bid her divine protection to you, my warrior-angel, my Siha, to succeed in your destiny. To light your path through the coming darkness. To give you hope, when all seems lost. "
Stay strong, and hold the drell! <3
