So, you have to jump through many hoops to locate TIM's base to take the fight to him and you end up tracking him there via Miranda who puts a tracker on Kai Leng. This is all fine except in the intro for Mass Effect 2 you clearly see Miranda in the same room as TIM onboard the same station overlooking the same sun. So, why couldnt Miranda just tell you where it was?

I could overlook most stuff, but this one was pretty glaring.

That's a pretty good point. It didn't seem like his base was mobile, so it's not like she would think it could have moved. The only real explanation I can think of is that she thought he would have moved to a different base. Or maybe she was brought to the base without knowing the location(I would say blindfold, but that would be unnecessary when she could be put on a transport with no access to windows or navigational data just as easy).

This is easy enough to answer. In one of the books (Deception, if I remember right), it is stated that TIM's base is moved whenever he has an operative come on board that isn't part of the permanent base staff.

Edit: Actually I meant Retribution, NOT Deception. :pinched:

Is that why the Sun is always different? People were debating about that one for a while.

One thing is to blindfold a normal employee in an organization to prevent them from knowing where the base is, but by doing it to the second in command of the organization isn't very lightly. Miranda was no ordinary employee of Cerberus, she was a high up in the ranking as you more or less could get unless you where TIM.

I would guess so LordHelfort, yes.

It's not like when you're in a car...

if they don't show you star charts on your way in...how you gonna know?

Miranda doesn't strike me as the type of person that would be -that- good..

you can't just look out the window and see the planets passing by and how can you tell one star from another with the naked eye going faster than light yourself?

you cant.

she was probably sitting in the back of a shuttle her whole wayin and her whole way out and it would look shady if she tried to figure out where TIM was when it was made plainly clear she wasn't supposed to know.

I always thought the star in ME2 changes color depending on your Paragon/Renegade points.

I find it a bit far-fetched that a massive station like that can be moved without being noticed.

I've heard that it gets moved too. But that doesn't explain the star, which is almost certainly always the same one. Unless he just likes to have a hologram of a star up in his office.

Miranda may also just not know where it is. If she didn't pilot the ship, she particularly wouldn't.
