Sorry, double post. This internet is a pain.

............Confused. But as I said, no good at biology. Actually, I'm lying, I get most of it. The part that makes perfect sense is the final paragraph, that comes through loud and clear. So what we're saying is it's benficial but it takes advantage of the moisture to take over? Makes sense. We need to learn more in ME3 as to why it can't be cured. Then we can create an accurate theory. However, that one is highly possible. I think you're on the way for the nobel prize, Hainkpe. Just waiting on Saibh to classify the disease.

It's an alien disease. Non-classifiable by human standards. It's like a bacteria cancer lovechild. Caneria.

There.

Gimme my goddamn trophy.

Don't want to repeat all the stuff I said previously on page 132 of this post where I addressed most of what you all are addressing here. Am still visiting the Research labs of Infectious disease and nanotech, but nothing new since last week when I wrote all the detailed info from a Pulmonary medicine aspect. Also to clarify- colds and flu are viruses, not bacteria, and handwashing only decreases slightly, the contagion vector for spread of viral disease (really, not just me, read the bottles, most clearly state "To decrease bacteria on the skin that could cause disease".) Rhinoviruses (most cold causing viruses) and influenza viruses (common flu virus) are typically spread by cough, sneezing and other fluid transfers (kissing, sharing drinks, microdroplets from people talking, etc). Handwashing agents (like the antibacterial hand sanitizers) mostly kill bacteria, not viruses. Viruses can lay dormant for years and are resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotics are used for bacterial infections only. Anyway, see my previous detailed post on Page 132, I'm repeating myself on this stuff.



TB is highly communicable, in certain patient populations, but not every person exposed to TB gets it. (remember the guy on the airplane who flew from Europe to the US with TB for his wedding? - few people on that plane got TB, I have other examples as again, it is what I do for a living)



Immunotherapy (IT) discussion is too long for this post, and everyone experiences immunocompromise in their lifetime, it is not treated unless it is chronic, unremitting or for 2 other really long diagnostic or preventive therapies. I'll just say, in Thane's case, he is probably immunocompromised from years of failed antibx therapy, the bacteria's resistance "wearing" down his immune system (can't quickly replace all those good cells that are attacking the Kepral bacteria) and the release of all the chemical mediators from the "battle" going on in his lungs as his body continues to try and kill the bacteria (or encapsulate it).



Hainkpe is right about the advanced tech - I addressed my theories on that back on page 132 also. Interesting to read others thoughts though...........



Saibh - sorry for mistake in that you did know what *facepalm* is, I thought that was what you were asking clarification for.

I'm afraid I can't. It could actually be classed as restrictive lung disease, where the lung stiffens and doesn't expand. Still, I'll give the cookie because I'm a nice guy. (Hands cookie to Saibh)
@Hainkpe, well, I guess that awards you the nobel prize. Enjoy! As for waiting, don't worry. I'm sure it'll be an eye opener. That, or Bioware won't tell us because even they can't work it out.

Double post, sorry. This internet is starting to bug me now.

You aren't going to rest until you get that prize are you? Alright, I'll give you your nobel prize, but I'm taking one for the fact I'm sure it is somehow related to restrictive lung disease. Are we all happy now?

Well...I guess. The cookie was good. So...I suppose a sympathy Nobel will do.

Some trivia:

- After speaking with Mouse during Thane's loyalty mission, Thane can tell Shepard of the importance of "carrying the weight of our decisions", going as far as telling her that she of all people should know that.

Do you think this could be a not-too-subtle reference to the fact that the ME trilogy is first and foremost about the player's (that is, Shepard's) decisions and the consequences they entail?

Personally, I do think it is.

Remarkably,  this post of mine from the previous page managed to slip through the cracks, so here it is again.

Ah! Stressed. Thanks guys. Right, to appease all, Hainkpe, here is your cookie (Gives Hainkpe cookie). Enjoy! Now, is everyone happy? @Fiery, I think it is. I think that it's a reference to what is to come and all the big decisions that Shepard has made and will have to make. Is Thane turning prothetic on us? Hope so, it'd make him even more spiritual.

LOL thanks GA
Now I can happy in the now.

So, question...
Do you think Kolyat will accept Thanes relationship with Shepard or not so much?

(Basil Fawlty voice) Right, so we're all happy? Are we sure? Good, and if you cause me anymore trouble I'll visit you all in the small hours and drop bats in your rooms. I love Fawlty Towers. So funny. Will Kolyat accept Thane? I think yes. At the end of the day, he still loves his dad and so therefore should take him back and forgive him for what he's done.

[General Ashous]

(Basil Fawlty) Small fur covered mammals, and I'll choose a few vampire ones just for the sake of it. That'd be a nice edition to the the ME universe, bat like humanoids. That'd be quite fun. Thane VS a bat like creature. Who'd win? They both use the shadows and are both deadly. I think Thane, though it'd be a long and bloody battle.

I think so.

So far not all of the choices made in ME1 seem to have made much of a difference in ME2, but I think eventually they will. At least I hope they will.

[General Ashous]

Bioware claims all choices in ME1 and 2 will have huge impacts in 3. Just hope they hold up their end of the bargain.

I have actually thought about this question myself. I think that he will eventually accept the relationship. Maybe not right away. He may think that Thane is trying to replace his mother with Shepard. He may see Thane do things for Shepard that he didn't do for Irikah like be there for her, and protect her. Kolyat and Thane still have a lot of their own issues to work out. He is still very angry at his father, but he does still love him.

[Saibh]

They don't have to worry about continuity, so that's comforting. They said 700 choices were imported, but, well, we saw how that was in ME2. They say 1000 will be imported in ME3. That tells us nothing of the quality of the imports, however. If you have three different outcomes from ME1, you can get three different e-mails in ME2 and that counts as an "import".



I really hope consistency isn't sacrificed in ME3. I know I'm speaking from an old fan's perspective, but if you're coming into the third and last game of a set trilogy, I really would rather the game not cater to new fans by making the effects impact as little as possible.

(Basil Fawlty (once again)) Right, I;m hitting the sack so no one burn the place down whilst I'm gone, alright. In the words of Stephen Fry, Tatty bye.
