Look at that post. And we're not even done yet.

Spoiler

 

First, let me say,it's been good to finally see this part of Vayne's story come around, considering that the seeds were sown even before I had found you guys lol. Worth the wait, if you ask me. I'm having a pretty good time reading it all.

 

Yeah, I've been meaning to post some filler. It's currently sitting idle in a notebook, and needs to be edited and transferred. Maybe I'll just be lazy and scan it. Let you guys struggle through my scribbles. 

 

I had originally planned to write some of the twins, and maybe Johnny hulking out(perhaps one other thing) in the middle of all of this, but the story was rolling on just fine without my participation, as it normally does. Even more so now, since this really is focused on just a few characters. Works out well for me, since I'm incredibly busy this time of year. I can't post much from work, and by the time I get home I'm just 'bleh'. At that point, booze and video games kinda takes priority. Aside from that 'dad' thing I have to do on occasion, of course.

 

I'll try to post soon. But not tonight. This is that special day that comes around only once every four years. The day where I can go to Denny's, and receive my free grand slam without arguing with the staff and speaking with a manager first because "Today isn't your birthday, sir."

Happy birthday.

 

I need a rest for now. I probably broke the lore with that last post, but I'd say anyone who tries this dies, flat out, so it's all good imo.

Yes happy birthday Narf!  I hope you got to do something naice fer yerself.  I'm gonna tell you having been to my fair share of Denny's...sometimes it is just the perfect thing!

@Jensa:  You didn't really break any lore, you sort of twisted it maybe, and frankly I APPROVE!   I LOVE those posts! 

We're a bit outside of lore and I am one of those people that believes we should stick to it mostly where we can, and where it falls apart is where we should feel free in taking over, with the spirit of the lore in mind.  That to me is what the 10 year instead of 6 month delay in the Reaper invasion means, anyway.  Come on, it is clear BioWare itself believes it needs lore help...why else shoot the next ME into another galaxy?  ( I admit, that was kind of a shrewd way to totally avoid what they should be dealing with :lol: )

But let's go over some of those lore 'twists', which are really to me only taking the lore and running with it where Mass Effect didn't get to defining things on their chalkboard.  Naleena's mind powers/asari mind powers in general.  To me it was 'video game' style restriction that moved biotics from the mystical powers of melding and the kind of attempt at future predictions of the Consort in ME1, to Boom!Splosions! by ME3.  That move hurt what I feel was the awesome sort of unknown powers of biotics that Kaiden alludes to (I haven't really picked Kaiden, but his back story is actually quite great).  So Naleena and her training?  Maybe a lore twist but spot on. Good enough for me to steal from in fact.

How about our original ship, the Audron?  It's a ship to me that steals some more modern, real world ground attack ideas, and shoves them in the ME universe all turian style.  I really liked the Audron.  Okay, maybe like 18 Armigers were OP when it came to battle, but that isn't unlike the Commandos sometimes being that way.  And I only blame author enthusiasm for that :D  (you know I'm including myself in the mix there).  In other words, the Audron really does an awesome job at capturing what a turian Spectre's ship might be like.

So when it comes to Shinaga and her father, really, really awesome.  Seriously I thought of making a krogan character out of this.  I'm not saying I will, but it was so bitching that's what my mind has been entertaining.  No apologies needed Jensa, this was great stuff.

Jen, the words are "get out of my movie!"

 

Great scene. We'll get to the epilogue. Naleena will have to find a place to land the ship to pick up the females in the tower. You read it right. Land the ship.

Sometimes you come up with something on the fly, and it doesn't always find its way into the story. Be it a character, or just a scene, that's how it goes. Maybe if the timing was better, and I was the type to plan ahead, I may have weaseled something out lol. He didn't even exist up until a few minutes before his first appearance, I just sat there like "And now, there's this guy, for no reason." because god dammit, I dig spontaneity. Not like "AND THEN THERE WERE GIANT ANTS" spontaneity, no matter how cool that would be, but a little unexpected appearance or event is an opportunity for fun.

 

Figured I'd give him a bit of closure at least.

 

That's one less thing I have to worry about while I'm writing...

Removing it haphazardly could sever an artery, okay?

Garvug Plotline Synopsis

 

In case you’re wondering what happened and how everything fit together.

 

Little is known about Hailot Wrund until the story in Cerberus Daily News Garvug Invaded By Corporate Forces. He is basically a blip with no history. So I wrote a little background for him. I made him a tragic character. As leader of the largest clan on Garvug, he had good intentions similar to those of Wrex on Tuchanka, but he lacked Wrex’ character, because well… Wrex.

 

When the corporations invaded the planet, they backed him into a corner. This being the Terminus Systems, the Batarians caught wind of the situation and saw an opportunity. They offered him a cure for the genophage in exchange for an alliance against The Council. The Batarians promised him that the cure was imminent. All of this happened prior to our first mission to Garvug, but I didn’t want to post any of it because I didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag. None of our POV characters knew any of this.

 

Then we did our first mission to Garvug to recover that Prothean Artifact. As far as we knew it was a simple grab and go. But things got complicated. Wrund had taken the Batarians’ offer and double-crossed the Council Representative, Naleena, during the negotiations with the corporate invaders. The mission ended with Naleena getting critically wounded and a Batarian Frigate hovering over the city, and the first appearance of Machaera fighting Essul.

 

After Naleena recovers, she had a mission to evaluate Todd Roman and pick up a Batarian traitor on Lorek in the Fathar System in the Omega Cluster at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation refinery. Corporations do not care with whom they do business as long as they make a profit. They are not patriotic. This was another simple grab and go mission, however Roman jumped the gun and triggered an alarm. Roman escorted the Batarian back to the shuttle while being pursued by Batarian Special Intervention Unit personnel. Seeing he needed a diversion, Naleena decided to blow up a building, and the Research Lab seemed like a good target. While in the lab building security patrols forced her to take cover in an office. There she decided to scan some of the documents and discovered that they were working on a cure for the Krogan genophage. With the building on security lockdown, she overheard researchers discussing that the cure was finished and ready to be weaponized. It was then she decided to blow up the building with everyone inside and make sure the samples were all destroyed.

 

Aboard the shuttle, while interrogating the traitor, she learned about the reason for the cure, and she gave the information to the Council. She saved them another Krogan Rebellion. Of course the Batarians protested that some terrorists had blown up a research facility on Lorek that was doing humanitarian research.

 

Several months later, this brings us to Vayne’s mission It Will End In Blood. The purpose was to end the blood oath against him. For this to succeed not only did we have to turn one of Ganar Slayt’s own kin against him, but we also had to kill Hailot Wrund. Naleena was going to kill Wrund anyway, but Ganar Shinaga demanded it as well. Naleena’s reason was personal under the guise of Council business. Vayne’s mission also was personal which Naleena manipulated to be Council business. Naleena still knew nothing about the political situation on Garvug. Given the fact that the Batarians had traditionally been so underhanded and dishonorable, Wrund also kept knowledge of the alliance within his inner circle. Not even Ganar Slayt knew.

 

We arrived on Garvug this last time. Everything had gone perfectly according to plan. Morgan found out about Ganar Shinaga. Slayt and Wrund destroyed the Sonax forces. Naleena turned Shinaga. Naleena and Jenus killed Hailot Wrund. Vayne and Shinaga killed Ganar Slayt. Now it was time to evacuate as many as possible. Naleena’s task was to evacuate Wrund’s females. She had to meet with the Shaman. I asked myself, “would the Shaman abandon tradition, embrace cowardice and leave while the others of their clans stayed behind and fought?” The answer to that question was a resounding “no.” Shamans are about tradition.

 

So I had the Shaman provide Naleena with the information that she had been missing. And thus the Garvug story line indeed ends in blood.

Arian aggressively pounded on the door shouting "I need to speak to you!" and is now speechless after Naleena calmly let him in.

Been messing around with an idea for this two year business. I'll try to get some individual pm's out soon.

Did the rest of yous guys have anything in mind, aside from what I'm schemin' over here?

ermargerd, trying to get all the little bits of writing in.

I'm not sure what we could do for our two year mark but I think we should do something fun.  Spontaneity?  Blow up a sun? Kill all of Cerberus?  I'm game.

I always thought shadow broker style dossiers for some of our characters would be kinda cool. Stuff you wouldn't normally find in the standard character sheets.

Bit of a special features type thing that would require zero collaboration, allowing everyone a chance to participate, since events IRL complicate things on occasion.

Work, school, excessive alcohol consumption and vomiting, you know how it is.

Well, two of the last four things you mentioned kept me quite busy this weekend. I let you guess which one I mean.

 

 

Even though I have a lot to do, I'm super motivated again to participate and I'm basically open for everything. I actually like the idea with these character dossiers. Btw, who is the current shadow broker in the story? Liara or still that Yahg? Or someone else?

Mediocre Fan Writing IV: Johnny Returns to Earth

 

Alriiiight.

 

 

 

A couple a days ago, I mentioned something about a big deal involving PMs. Yeah... ain't quite got around to that yet. Not sure if I'm going to go through with it or not, because I'm incredibly lazy. Also, the more I thought about it, the more terribly cheese it sounded.

 

Anyways, it was going to be a sort of semi-OOC bit.  Think like a late night talk show setting, where we treat our characters as if they were actors in the 'show' Chasing Spectres. Not all of the characters, of course, since there our so many, but maybe at least one from each contributor.
