I was just wondering this as I was playing through the campaign again: Do you ever wonder about how C-Sec is SO incompetent? I mean, on paper this should be an off-the-charts, badass organization. Over 200,000 agents from almost every species, almost all of whom have military training from across the galaxy. Yet let's look at their resume. I'm sure there are many more examples, but off the top of my head:
ME1:
- Shepard has multiple firefights in the Wards, and an all-out assault on Chora's Den without so much as a single officer responding to or ever even reporting it.
- Can't get a simple Hanar religious protester to leave an area.
- I tend to give them a bit of slack for Sovereign's attack, but still very poor response both in space and on the "ground" with boarding Geth.
ME2:
- It would've taken Elementary school logic and literally about 20 steps to find the guy's credit chit, but officer is utterly stumped... uhhhhhh, the Quarian took it!
- Legion, an ACTIVE GETH PLATFORM walks aboard and through a scanning tunnel without a second glance.
- Garrus's mission has you fighting a small army of Blue Suns... and ends with a public assassination. Again, zero C-Sec response.
ME3: (Goodness, way too many here, but the big ones for me were)
- That Batarian Galak successfully holds you at gunpoint mere FEET from armed guards during wartime.
- Cerberus would've completely owned the Citadel and its leadership if not for
Jesus's (Shepard's)return.
- Cat-6... well, all of Cat-6's involvement
I get that they have to play by the rules, but I don't think "Red tape" should excuse all of the inability we see. What do you all think? I guess my question is 2-fold: With all these in mind, What did you think of C-Sec's capability, and if you were in charge, how would you improve this organization?
Here's one unpopular idea: restrict human traffic and housing from the citadel and forbid them from working in C-Sec. Think about it.
ME1:
1. Shepard has multiple firefights in the Wards, and an all-out assault on Chora's Den without so much as a single officer responding to or ever even reporting it.
A: Shepard, human. The thugs in Chora's Den? Mostly human. Fist, the thug in charge of them? Human. The thugs who even hold a clinic doctor at gun point and take her hostage? Human.
2. Can't get a simple Hanar religious protester to leave an area.
A: Fair point. Though you have to give the turian credit. He's been arguing with it for hours and it hasn't resulted in violence. That's a fair shake better than what our real police force can say. He's trying to be reasonable about it. I can also understand why it may be a touchy issue. It's never easy when you bring religion into it. Especially when we're talking about a species as religious as the hanar.
Plus, this isn't necessarily something to blame on all of C-Sec. It was one turian who was trying to handle the situation himself, peacefully, to impress his superiors in hopes of getting a promotion. If he had just called it quits and had someone else step in they likely would had resolved the matter.
3. I tend to give them a bit of slack for Sovereign's attack, but still very poor response both in space and on the "ground" with boarding Geth.
A: Maybe the ones on the ground were more concerned about a human mutiny since a human marched into the human embassy, knocked out the ambassador, highjacked the controls and let free someone that was deemed, at the time, as an unstable and dangerous threat that could potentially trigger a war with the terminus systems... who also, btw, was human.
Dun dun dunnnnn.
ME2:
1. It would've taken Elementary school logic and literally about 20 steps to find the guy's credit chit, but officer is utterly stumped... uhhhhhh, the Quarian took it!
A: Of course, he's earth-clan.
2. Legion, an ACTIVE GETH PLATFORM walks aboard and through a scanning tunnel without a second glance.
A: Isn't that particular ward's C-Sec practically ran by Bailey? A human. Who lets a crime boss (also human) get away as long as he gives him bribes? Coincidentally the head of the front desk that actually calls Legion a assistant mech after talking of the threat of geth attack was a human.
3. Blue Suns, a merc operation created and lead by a human. The ones on the citadel in this mission were working for Fist, also human. Who allowed and indeed even set up the assassination in a public area? A human.
ME3:
1. That Batarian Galak successfully holds you at gunpoint mere FEET from armed guards during wartime.
A: The C-Sec officer tracking him down and letting him actually point a gun at Shepard in the first place? A human. A human that actually went to another human (Shepard) for help with a C-Sec matter. Granted he is a spectre, though. Still, human involvement in a messy situation.
2. Cerberus would've completely owned the Citadel and its leadership if not for Jesus's (Shepard's)return.
A: Cerberus, a radical pro-human, anti-alien organization. Humans, again. All this because the HUMAN councilor betrayed everyone.
Coincidentally the only reason the situation with the council goes the way it does is because Bailey, human, gives Shepard bad information. He told us that Cerberus was on the elevator and coming up. Then he comes bursting through, potentially after we shot the councilor and the VS, and is all like "oh, they ran off when they saw WE were coming for 'em." Great news, pal, would had been REALLY useful for you to radio that in to us before you came bursting through the door you said Cerberus was behind.
3. Cat-6... well, all of Cat-6's involvement
A: A bunch of human rejects. By the way, these human criminals actually manage to get into the citadel archive because they managed to con a human spectre.
In summery: humans are a blight!
