And the number of the team shalt be at least two.  Not one, but two.  And all members of thine party shalt be of the same species.  If thou hast a party of two, not one, and thou ist playing a Krogan, then the second party member must also be Krogan.

If thou hast a party of three, being the number that follows two, then all three of thine members must be of the same species.  If thou choosest Quarian, then thou may be be male or female.  All of thine members must be of the same species.

If thou hast four members then all of thine members must also be of the same species.  Four being not the number following two but after three, then all of thine members must be the same species.  If thou choosest Drell, then all thine members must also be Drell.  If Asari then all members must also be Asari.  If Batarian then all members must be Batarian.  Kits / class art irrelevant.  Drell Vanguard, Drell Adept art of the same species.

Five is right out.

Thou canst win without all members making it to wave eleven and boarding thine shuttle.


I can go on and try to make it bullet-proof but that is impossible.

This is epic.  This is how the operation briefing should look every time. :D

Canst = can.
So full extraction is not required... right?

Python reference had me LoLing!

But seriously, Mr. Hollan, I would bet you didn't write the splash. With your command of the language, you would have found a way to make it succint and clear.

So everybody, play a Salarian Engineer on FWW/G/G and see howmany Geth you can get totally confused with four decoys.

Now that I think of it, that may actually be fun, seeing all Hunters go spinning arround. Would just be the Geth version of; So you think you can dance Image IPB

Even with that in mind, though...

The Splash Screen says:
"Squad Goal: Extract squad on any difficulty. Squad must have 2+ players of the same non-human race."

Swapping that for the nearly identical:
"Squad Goal: Extract squad on any difficulty. Squad must have 2+ players all of the same non-human race." 

4 characters added, including the space. Is the space really too limited to put 'all' there? That's all it takes to make it so that the squad goal is accurately conveyed by the splash screen (pun).

Conveying that it's full extraction requires another 5 characters:

"Squad Goal: Extract full squad on any difficulty. Squad must have 2+ players all of the same non-human race." 

This probably isn't your deal, but with 9 more characters, it would be obvious to everyone what the requirements were. As-is, a valid interpretation is that two players have to be the same non-human race, and at least one person has to extract. A squad with an Asari Adept, an Asari Justicar, a Geth Infiltrator, and an N7 destroyer could, with a full understanding of the English language, expect to get a commendation pack. That's a problem.

Even clearer would be: Squad must all be the same non-human race, and be at least 2 players.
