Yes Anderson committed treason by attacking the assets of a known terrorist organization.<_<

We all know you want to shack up with TIM Seboist but good paragade you come on a little strong.


When my Shepard finds out what Anderscum did against her man she'll disembowel the son of a **** with her omniblade.


That's a pretty sensible reaction. Anderson the one person whoose always been on your side, who gives you your rank back and gives you the Normandy back you're going to kill because he attacked a group that is now trying to kill you? Yep that makes alot of sense.


Anderscum created a "political ****storm" and weakened Shepard's ally just to satisfy the desire of some woman he had the hots for. All his previous good deeds are rendered null and void due to that.


Anderson weakened Shepard's enemy. Cerberus is your enemy if you can't stand the idea of that than that's your problem but it doesn't change facts that Cerberus is your enemy they are the ones that will be shooting at you.

This is the unfortunate result of watching too much 24 it seems. 'Realism' apparently equals laziness.

If there was a hostage situation and the guy in charge had, flat out, only two options: Kill the person holding the hostages at the expense of the hostages, or let the hostages go at the expense of the taker going temporarily free at least - and that guy then decides to kill the hostages because it's 'realistic' - THAT IS THE LAST PERSON YOU WANT RUNNING A HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION.

Realism or incompetence?

You have to have a grownup brain that understands politics and biology.

And you have to have a basic level of maturity to respond to criticism without resorting to petty insults.

But you can't do that Saphra.

No, he weakened your most important ally. You know, the one that brought you back to life, built you a new ship, gave you funding and weapons, and lead your in a fight to save humanity from the Collectors?

At the time of Retribution nobody had any reason to believe Cerberus was an enemy. In fact Anderson knew that Cerberus was the only group out there working to defeat the Reapers. He still went after them. In the process he hurt the Alliance and humanity as a whole.

He's a moron I hope he dies in ME3.

I see, so your answer is simply insults.

I can understand wanting to support human interests. I reject any approach that involves climbing over the dead and betrayed to do so. The ends do NOT justify the means.

I can understand you guys being pro-Cerberus, but there's honestly nothing to justify all these anti-Anderson sentiments.

Destroying the geth, killing Elnora, someone stupid enough to raise her gun to you after you gave her a break, killing Cathka, an enemy who was repairing a dangerous weapon that would soon be used against you. Just to name a few

You mentioned taking out Paul Grayson, I wouldn't say that really counts as a success.


How is that not a success? They lured Grayson into a trap (even got Aria to do all the work, and then when she bungled it) they tracked Grayson to the Ascension Academy and Kai Leng was able to take him out. That's a success.

Kai Leng managed all of this despite Anderson and Kahlee working against him the entire time.

The only reason he was ever at large was because of the Anderson/Turian raid. A raid which ultimately failed to achieve anything and resulting in high casualities for the raiders.

Cerberus were the big winners of that novel.


I explained that in the rest of my post if you had bothered to read it.

And he wouldn't have been a problem at all if cerberus hasn't been conducting cruel and naive experiments on him.

Anyway if it wasn't for Anderson and Sanders Kai Leng would be stuck on omega with his thumb up his arse wondering where Grayson could be. Also as I said in my original post Anderson had fatality wounded Grayson, Kai Leng just put him out of his misery.

And why might I ask are you singing the praises of the Cerberus operative tasked with the assassination of Shepard?

Prepared to be bowled over by people who disagree with you.

Those who won't murder will be killed by those who will.

Those who won't fight will be beaten down by those who will.

Those who won't steal will be stolen from by those who will.

Those who won't win at any cost will lose to those who will.

Those who melt their swords into shovels will be killed by those who don't.

Allies do not cover.your ship in spy devices.
Allies do not send you blindly into traps
Allies do not endanger your friends deliberately
Allies do not lie to you

That's four strikes against Cerberus

Terrorists don't care if they are going to die -- it's not a deterrent.


Given that half his squad abandons him when you point out all he's doing is getting them killed, it might be more of a deterrent than you think.

But when you get down to it, the REAL realistic option in that scenario is for Shepard to let the terrorists go to save the hostages, and then have Joker and the Normandy blow them out of space when they launch their shuttle. I was really surprised this wasn't an option. It seemed pretty obvious to me that when my giant warship is orbiting the asteroid they are going to lift off of, I can afford to let them think they are getting away.

Well, the really REAL realistic option in that scenario is for Balak to have the bomb trigger by proximity rather than detonator if you let him leave, and have the hostages die regardless.

I mean, the moment anyone gets within five feet or accesses the bomb's network... boom. Not hard.

Cruel or not, those experiments needed to be done. Everything was fine until the turians kicked in the door. Thankfully Cerberus was on top of its game so it managed to rectify the situation.

He's a patriot and one hell of a good agent.

Saphra... you're being blinded by your fanatic love of Cerberus. Cerberus has always been a threat, just because we shared a single goal didn't mean that they weren't a threat and everyone should have known that.

Weakening Cerberus is a good thing because it makes them weaker when they come after us. How you can say that he's a moron for attacking a threat that ends up blatently being a threat is beyond me.

Allies work with you to achieve a mutual objective, nothing more.

No, I'm not. They're not a threat. They never have been. They are a force for good in the galaxy.

If anything you are blinded by your own idealism. You have your damn head in the clouds. I don't have any respect for people so detached from reality.

First, name calling is entirely juvenile.

Two, Anderson's actions were not treason. Unwise, yes, but whistleblowing and fighting a recognized enemy of one's organization is not treason.

Three, the Turians stupidity only extends as far as their not recognizing the Reapers. Without recognizing the Reapers, they had no knowledge or reason to make peace with Cerberus.

Cerberus are not.your ally. You are nothing more than a valuable asset to them, and if you think otherwise you're dumber than a stoned krogan


Shepard is an asset to anybody. That's just how the world works (or the galaxy, in this case). He was an asset for the Alliance. He was an asset for the Council. He's an asset for anybody who makes use of his services.

Cerberus however beats them all out becasue Cerberus treats him a lot better. He's more valuable to Cerberus it seems than he is to anyone else. Cerberus also has more sympathetic goals.


You're right except for the Council part. Shepard never was an asset for the council. The entire reason why Shepard was made a Spectre was not to serve the council, but to help humanity to solve their problems in the Traverse.

The council didn't want to get involved into stuff from the Traverse, to avoid a political backlash. But humanity obviously needed help and protection. A Spectre could just sneak in the Traverse, get the job done and go home. Shepard exposed Saren and wanted to catch Saren, so they gave him the opportunity to continue his investigation on Saren and to finally catch him. They made Shepard en Spectre for that reason. How does that make Shepard an asset to the council?


Of course that doesn't mean the council aren't complete a-holes, but I wouldn't say they used Shepard as an asset either.

It was absolutely treason. He took sensitive information that could harm the Alliance and gave it to a foreign government. He had no right to do that what-so-ever. The only thing keeping him from being put on trial is his fame.

He deserves to hang for what he did.

Yes he was, or the Council wanted him to be at least. If you play a Paragon you are a total Council patsy.

I dunno, but that's never been Cerberu's strategy or motto so you clearly aren't talking about Mass Effect.

@ Dean
Oh I understand the necessity of such arrangements, but they're not the practices of a great and trusted ally like the dogs up there seem to think Cerberus is. I'll believe that Tali can bench press Wrex unaided before I'll believe a word that comes out of Miranda, let alone TIM
