It will involve broken-hands levels of handwaving.

Kiss my @$$. This is Bioware forums. Keep your thoughts about my actions to yourself. I have a right to argue on my views.

The governing principle of these inalienable rights also confers the right to point out when someone's views are kind of dumb, to be fair.

Not in a private forum with a TOS, depending on the view.

I guess that makes two of us.

Really man? Cause that's what people do in this forum all the time. It's argument city here.

I'm not saying people don't argue. I was just being cheeky - Bioware could curtail your ability to express yourself.

Except I have impeccable taste, and you're on the record as someone who thinks Cerberus is awesome.

At least I don't get off on being an ***hole. And look where we are. Arguing like a bunch of monkeys. I'm gonna be the better man and just leave this conversation. Its not worth my time.

They'd have to take away the forums.

What if the original Ark was not built in Milky way? but was built in Andromeda by a peaceful but advanced race called the Gaia, they like the Quarian's, created an AI race, the platform for the AI was a ship (later to be known as Hyperion). The Hyperion was designed to also accommodate the Gaians for long Interstellar travel, but unfortunately before the fit out was complete the Gaians were attacked and the life pods to be installed were destroyed. 

 

The Gaians ordered the Hyperion to travel to the Milky way escaping a galactic conflict with a aggressive race known as the Khet, leaving the Gaians behind,

600 years later they arrived in the Milky way...

 

 “Alarms rang throughout the salarian system of Antilin yesterday when an alien ship bearing a strong AIsignature triggered fears of a geth attack. Renko Turwin, Director of Near-Orbital Security, explained: "When evidence of powerful AI heuristics was detected onboard, our security forces thought it was the vanguard of a geth invasion. However, we consulted quarian scientific advisors who assured us that the signals failed to match any known geth signature." According to Turwin, the biggest surprise came next: "The ship's intelligence then communicated with us. It asked us to calculate the value of Pi to the first quadrillion digits. Some 20 questions followed after that, all of them beyond our realm of expertise. We're currently awaiting advice from outside consultants before proceeding. As yet, the ship matches no known alien species."”

 

In the Shadows of a Reaper war,  The Salarians, Asari and Turians discovered that the ship was actually from Andromeda and secretly began to work with the AI of the Hyperion, the AI told of the plentiful resources and inhabitable planets in the Helios cluster and offered them blue prints to build more ships. The ships were built and finally fitted out with prothean tech life pods and the AI agreed to cross multiple platforms.

 

After sovereign attacked the citadel the Ark project is born, milky way races are recruited for a voyage to Andromeda in search of a "new home". What they didn't know was what the AI had left out, "the Khet". The AI's secret agenda was recruiting the milky way races as a force to save the mother race the Gaians.

 

Shortly before the Reapers attacked Earth the Ark project leaves the milky way for Andromeda, 600 years later they arrive in the Helios cluster and they are immediately introduced to the Khet, Sadly for Hyperion there is known signs of the Gaians any where only "remnants" of their technology.

Not sure if you just read the first sentence and didn't like the idea, but thanks anyway.

I just don't see it that way. I mean what are the chances?

[Sartoz]

y'all just don't like reading.

Sorry to disappoint. I have 3k+ books under my belt

[Sartoz]

I hope the tea leaves are engaging, because you're clearly not reading any of Jemisin's books. She's a terrific, imaginative writer, and I think this might end up the best conceived and written ME tie-in of all of them (would actually be the only well-written one). The particular angle you're dismissing her from suggests that, as usual, your tinfoil hat could use an adjustment.

 

I'm astonished they got someone like her to write one of these things - it speaks well of it and them.

                                                                                    <<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>

 

 She's not a sci-fi writer.

 

My preferences in authors are in sci-fi, fantasy, military,  historical,  spy as in Tom Clancy, astronomy, electronics, computer tech.. genre...etc. So no, I have not read any books on political, social, policing, pay equity, language, immigration etc.. These, I can read in the daily papers ( I read local and international... btw). To be clear, I have not read any of her books....

 

As to astonished, my tea leaves says Bio is pushing their agenda and she fits their 'compatibility" profile .  I'm also honest enough with myself to say I can be wrong on this.  I'll even go so far as to read her book, IF, reviews are positive and the story is substantive about the ARKCON Project and not a Merchant of Venice like story.

She is a huge fan who seems to care about lore.. And a good critic. At first I hated her analysis of DAI but that was her opinion. I sort of respected it after I read it.

Was the release date of 1st Andramada novel confirmed yet?

What are you going on about? I haven't personally read her stuff but a quick google search shows she is described as a speculative fiction writer in the fantasy genre. Reading descriptions of her books back that up. That is a very close fit to science fiction.

 

Edit : In fact she has specifically written science fiction novels before ME: Initiation...

The Fifth Season is a science fiction fantasy novel by N. K. Jemisin.[1][2] The Fifth Season takes place on a planet with a single supercontinent. Every few centuries, its inhabitants endure what they call a "fifth season" of catastrophic climate change.[3] The New York Times review stated "'The Fifth Season' invites us to imagine a dismantling of the earth in both the literal and the metaphorical sense, and suggests the possibility of a richer and more fundamental escape. The end of the world becomes a triumph when the world is monstrous, even if what lies beyond is difficult to conceive for those who are trapped inside it."[4] This is the first part of The Broken Earth Trilogy.

No but it looks like August. Maybe October. Soon though.

Fingers crossed. Although I'm dreading a "humans are sucha born explorers we totally just overcame all technical obstacles but won't go into detail" explanation...

Anyone can be a critic.  For that matter, there is no absolute way of criticizing. The mental process is always coloured by your own background, views, experiences, education.. etc.

 

What I find interesting is that the book comes out in September? Not sure. Anyway, the Interest is the TIME !!!.

 

Normaly it takes 9-12 months to publish a book. Add the time it took her to write it, add the time Bio started looking for an author and we may have to go back two years.. 2014.  So, the studio must have thought about publishing a prequel at minimum, two+ years. Which, to me, it says the game will not explain (in any satisfactory way), the events leading to the ARKCON project.

 

BTW, if you are interested in how a book publisher goes about publishing a book and why it takes so long... read this excellent article. It explain all:

I'm not reading all this except for this links. I trust her. She likes mass effect and dragon age. What's better than a book being written by a fan? An educated fan with plenty of books under the belt.

[FKA_Servo]

She's an excellent fantasy author. Sartoz is being a philistine.
