I always had a soft spot for Morinth - it's not her fault she was afflicted with disease and the alternative choice (living at the monastery) seems painfully boring.

Pretty certain it's an institution to get rid of, along with the Council that made it. Somehow I doubt "celebrity with a license to kill" would work well in practice.osbornep wrote...
I'd probably go with the Thorian and basically any Spectre, ever. Not convinced that the Spectres are an institution that's worth keeping around.

They don't play by the rules they set for everyone else. You're expected to follow their rules, limit yourself to what they feel safe with (Treaty of Farixen). They're quick to pounce on anything that challenges their own power, but they'll cut you loose the second you ask them for help. What good is a mutual defense treaty when your mutual defenders refuse to defend you?ImperatorMortis wrote...
Also whats wrong with the council concept? That actually makes sense, and is a good idea. Is it because they're don't do everything "right"? If you expect ANY organization to be perfect then you're gonna have a nasty surprise.

They did nothing in reaction to Krogan expansionism until an Asari colony was threatened. After the Quarians were nearly exterminated for trying to enforce Council law, the Council literally tossed them out the airlock and quietly exterminated the AI that they, themselves, were developing in secret. They couldn't be bothered to step up patrols of their own borders in reaction to Eden Prime "for fear of provoking the Terminus," but eighty years earlier they broke out the dreadnoughts to evict the Quarians from a world they tried to settle... in the Terminus. Plus there was the whole Thessian beacon thing.
I honestly believe it was the Council's intent to sit back and let the Heretics put us uppity humans back in our place without getting their own hands dirty. Take away the chrome and pretty words and they're just another group of self-righteous thugs.

They have a job to do, but they're not doing it to any satisfactory degree of competency. Given the number of extinctions, near-extinctions and other calamities which have occurred on their watch or as a consequence of their actions (or inaction - I'd count their ******-poor prep for the Reapers against them too), I'd say the Council needs to go the way of the Articles of Confederation. Replace it with something more functional. Besides, just from the get-go I'd have a serious problem with any government with the sheer audacity to appoint the aforementioned "celebrities with a license to kill."Darks1d3 wrote...
To be fair, a lot of governments nowadays would do similar things. It's just the way politics work. While I'm not naive to believe the council is the greatest thing since sliced bread or that they have everyone's best interests at heart in the MEU, they still serve a purpose. And don't get me wrong, I have no patience for politics in general. But no government entity is perfect.DeinonSlayer wrote...
