Aria uses a "modified subsurface torpedo" to destroy her rival's base of operations on Omega.

Can that be counted as an error or is that just suicidal stupidity on her part?!


Uh... modification to make subsurface torpedo usable in athmospehre like in Omega... that would be a rocket. What the hell?


Or some sort of land-torpedo.

Though that's just a really fast car, really.

isn't N6 the rank for Recon personel?...


The letter designates rank, the number designates profiiency. N is for Special Forces personel. Unless you were hinting something I was oblivious to? If not the number goes from 1-7. Leng should be an N7 like Shepard, not N6.

I know! I'd count it as a mistake... But it's not like it's completely impossible. Just incedibly risky and stupid.

On the other hand, what is subsurface in Omega? Does he mean the asteroid? Because... I don't think that's subsurface? Or am I splitting hairs?

Aria isn't in the Omega after the events of Invasion.


I hate myself for even thinking about this but...

Do you think that at the end of Invasion, Aria fled to Thessia to meet the T'loaks? If so, everything is explained! Invasion and Deception are happening at the same time! Within a warped timeline! Hahaha... ha... ha...

THIS BOOK MAKES NO SENSE!


There is a reason I avoided creating entries regarding timeline issues as long as I could. Makes my head hurt, nothing makes sense, even time is somehow ****ed up.

It was torpedo moving undergound , which hit hideout of one gang  from bellow.


The destruction had been caused by a  specially modified sub-surface torpedo launched from more than a kilometer away.  After burrowing around a number of underground obstructions, the weapon had blown a hole in the crawler's belly...

I can totally see Dietz working this up:
"I need something exotic, she is a pirate right? and pirates live in the sea, so she would be using torpedoes, that would fit her character. There's no water though, oh, but I could put some wheels to that torpedo. Yeah, problem solved. Damn I'm good!"


So it was actually some sort of mole bomb.

We're all getting affected by what we're reading in a negative way.

He calls it "Space Station Omega", and then also later calls it a "Lawless Asteroid"

Or he thinks it is built on top of the asteroid in stead of being built half-inside and downwards. Because there are residential districts located in the lower levels and if the torpedo goes through them... idk anymore.

EDIT I can't brain today...

Regarding the batarian embassy - didn't someone in this thread mention that there was a news item in ME2 that said the batarians re-opened an embassy on the Citadel?  Or were they mistaken?

Yes, but has Dietz misunderstood the way Omega is built (as in, he thinks it is built on top of the asteroid and so the torpedo would go through the asteroid), or didn't he just do the research?

Yep, there is still a problem using this weapon in Omega.

Wow. Just wow:

The outer surface of the space station was alive with glittering navigation beacons that made the asteroid look like a royal orb.


A.....ROYAL.....ORB

So, the N6 thing inspired me:

(To the tune of "Like A G6")

Stealin' bowls in this house, like a wizard
Now I eat, puttin' flakes in my gizzard
Droppin' pee in my vase, in my vase, so e-pic
Now I'm feelin so fly like an N6
Like an N6, like an N6
Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6
Like an N6, like an N6
Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6

Gimme that Mi-il-ilk
Gimme that Ce-re-a-a-al
Asari love my style, at the table gettin wild
Get them flakes a soakin', get that snap, crackle n' pop
Now give me 2 more bowls cuz you know it don't stop

Special K...
Hell Yeah!
Spoon it up, spoon it up,
When empty bowls around me, they be gettin' filled up
They be gettin' filled up, f-f-f-filled up
When empty bowls around me, they be gettin' filled u-u-up

Stealin' bowls in this house, like a wizard
Now I eat, puttin' flakes in my gizzard
Droppin' pee in my vase, in my vase, so e-pic
Now I'm feelin so fly like an N6
Like an N6, like an N6
Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6
Like an N6, like an N6
Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6

Spoonin' up, spoonin' up flakes, Ima ma-make it fizz
Girl I keep it gangsta, eatin' bowls in they crib
This is how we live, every single night
Take that vase to the chair, and I'll unzip mah fly

Special K...
Hell Yeah!
Spoon it up, spoon it up,
When empty bowls around me, they be gettin' filled up
They be gettin' filled up, f-f-f-filled up
When empty bowls around me, they be gettin' filled u-u-up

Stealin' bowls in this house, like a wizard
Now I eat, puttin' flakes in my gizzard
Droppin' pee in my vase, in my vase, so e-pic
Now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6
Like an N6, like an N6
Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6
Like an N6, like an N6
Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6

It's that 'drenaline bump, make you put yo spoon up
Make you put yo spoon up, put yo, put yo spoon up
(You can’t touch this)
Its that 'drenaline bump, make you put yo spoon up
Make you put yo spoon up, put yo, put yo spoon up
(You can’t touch this)
Hell yeah, make you put yo spoon up, make put yo spoon up put yo put yo spoon up
Hell yeah, make you put yo spoon up, make put yo spoon up put yo put yo spoon up

Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6
Like an N6, like an N6
Now now now now now now I'm feelin' so fly like an N6

And even though "Like A G6" is a terrible song, I still apologize to Far East Movement for that.
