^What she said. Possibly even dragging him directly to Mordin. It would definately involve sobbing on my part.

I would. I would be honest with him, say that it was in Shadow Broker's files and I didn't know what I was getting into, admit that I feel terrible about peeking into something so private behind his back and apologize. Then try to talk about some of the things he said, like being selfish for wanting to leave me with something that won't fade, tell him that not having an eidetic memory doesn't mean he'll disappear from my heart like "out of sight, out of mind". And admit that I don't know what I would do without him.

And demand that he explain to me wtf is up with not getting in the lung transplant queue.

THIS.  EXACTLY THIS.  I would tell him.  He would understand that it was accidental, since it was in the SB files.  It's not like I snooped on his private terminal or something.  It would be impossible to pretend I didn't read it, anyway.  And ... this is why it sucks that we can't discuss the SB dossiers with our crew!!

From an in-character POV, no. She (my Shep) is stealthy by nature and wouldn't be forthcoming about any information she learned from her crew's dossiers. It would be so with Thane solely because she'd feel it would be inappropriate. But she would subtly suggest she knows about the letter: for example, one night she says to him "I love you. Know this for fact." Or something in that angle. 

More than that, she's not going to pressure him against a decision he likely made before their meeting or hold it against him if he decides not to pursue treatments that would prolong his life. He's a big boy. He makes his own choices. And Shep is just as likely to die in any number of ways, possibly before Thane. It wouldn't be fair to him to outlive her when he was already meant to die. In the meantime, she'll enjoy the time given to both of them.

Well, you should know those cookies are drell-lic-ious!  You'd better bake some more soon.

Psst, can someone tell me where to find these cookies?

A new technology is helping victims of the Vallum Blast breathe
easier — literally. Researchers at U. Thierax are attacking the myriad
of respiratory diseases caused by inhaling dust around the blast site.
Dubbed “medi-gel for the lungs,” the Eupulmos Device analyzes a
patient’s tissue or medicard record before adjusting its
virally-delivered superdrugs to match the patient’s genetic
predispositions. After that, the mister sprays the aerosol into the
patient’s nasal passages and the drug is absorbed into the lungs. The
mister can also deliver microsurgery machines to make non-invasive
repairs to tissue and has a color-coded nozzle at each end with separate
agent reservoirs for dextro and levo patients. Said one ER staffer,
“The effect is incredible. In a year, the whole galaxy will be using
these things.”

[mnomaha]

Just chilling after a day at work. Ya know, brainless musical enjoyment kind of things. I haven't listened to Unchained Melody in years but some of it reminds me so much of Thane. Could just be me but "lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea, to the open arms of the sea. Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me, I'll be coming home, wait for me.



Yeah, I got it bad.

OK, that's it.  My Shep is grabbing that stuff and forcing it down Thane's throat whether he likes it or not.  And this is my canon Shep who doesn't even get along with Thane.  She's not big on fatalism, and if she has to ensure Thane lives, that's how she does it

Hm, a cure for asthma and other respiratory diseases. Interesting. Maybe BW has given us a clue? Now I have this sinking suspicion that Cerberus possesses the necessary cure for Thane, which is a bummer if you dissed TIM in the end because he could use it as leverage against Shepard.

That is a very sweet song for Thane and Shep. I can see them slow-dancing to this somewhere.

Pretty much this. How could I not talk to him about it.

Don't know if this is true for every Shepard, but I imagine it's pretty common.  Mine doesn't understand the concept of resignation to death.  She's spent her entire life cheating death--on Earth, on Akuze, on the Citadel, even getting brought back by Cerberus.  She knows her survival odds tangling with the Reapers are low, but she's going to fight every step of the way.  Like Thane himself says, Shep's made a career of doing the impossible.  Shep isn't the kind of person to quietly accept death, and I have a hard time seeing her do it for her crew either.

Dying on a mission is one thing.  That happens to soldiers, and anyone who can't handle it doesn't belong in Shep's shoes.  But convincing yourself that you have no chance is something else altogether.

Raven i love the picture, nice pose Thane... And the amount of posts in this thread while I was getting some beauty sleep is amazing!



But about Thane and his motivation for survival, I think with a romanced Shepard (then he had blumming well better!) start to be more active in lengthening his life and getting a lung transplant. He has dealt death so many times, that he feels it would be hypocritical if he 'cheated death' so to speak. I think that is why he has become at peace with the idea of dying.

But then femshep comes along... And here is a motivational for you:

Video games have taught me that badass dudes need the cuddles MOST. Sure they might try to kill you if you do cuddle them, but still. Heavy risk, but....ok, I can't finish that sentence.



Except Wrex. Wrex needed no cuddles. He only needed bromance.

Turian medical units on Taetrus are at the center of a patent
controversy tonight. A volus claiming to be the inventor of the
much-vaunted Eupulmos respiratory device says his design was
appropriated by the turian military without payment or permission.
Similar appropriations have occurred throughout the history of the
turians and their client race; the volus have extensive patent laws, and
the turians barely recognize the concept. “This inventor should take
pride in the success of his product,” said colonialist liaison Tertinus
Septinas, “not shake us down for a fee every time it is used. The flat
sum we’ve offered is quite generous.” The Eupulmos designer, Ora Thubb,
says he’s soured forever on turian culture: “I thought the turians had a
meritocracy. What’s the point if your contributions get brushed off?”

A suspicious disappearance on Irune has provoked outrage in the
Vol Protectorate as Ora Thubb, the inventor of the Eupulmos respiratory
aid, has gone missing. The volus inventor made news recently by
demanding payment for his design, which is in heavy use by the
colonialist army on Taetrus. Ambassador Din Korlack says the
Protectorate wants to believe the best of their turian allies, but
added, “as the Earth-clan say, this doesn’t pass the smell test.” Local
law enforcement officers on Irune say their leads are promising, but the
disappearance is straining relations between the two species’ embassies
on the Citadel. This is of great concern to the Taetrus war effort.
According to one report, volus-owned companies have supplied more than
60 billion credits of material to colonialist forces, about 45% of the
war’s public cost so far.

The story of Ora Thubb, the wronged inventor who vanished under
suspicious circumstances, came to a grisly end today when divers found
his body in Irune’s Hovita Cove. The waterlogged body had been hacked
open in an effort to sink it, a somewhat redundant measure given the low
buoyancy of a body in Irune’s ammonia-heavy seas. Just prior to the
discovery, Thubb’s widow received a call from kidnappers telling her to
bring five hundred thousand credits to the Dulez Bridge, a call that
police say must have come after Thubb was already dead.

Law officers on Irune announced a breakthrough in the case of
deceased inventor Ora Thubb today. Three Turian men — two dead and one
alive — were dropped off at a police station along with personal digital
assistants containing evidence about planning Thubb’s murder. The
police are crediting Spectre involvement with bringing the investigation
so far forward. Major Loz Atad says two turian Spectres handed the
alleged criminals in, making it clear they had been pulled off of
Taetrus to solve this problem. “The message was unmistakable,” he said.
“Turians and volus are partners.”

It's always good to drool first thing in the morning. Uh huh, yeah, "just cuddles". S'all right Raven, we believe you.



Actually, I would cuddle Wrex, but I would prefer Grunt. Just a friendly cuddle though, otherwise, ewww.



And thanks Tinve for those articles.

Wrex doesn't need cuddles, but Grunt... definitely. I mothered Grunt. Would totally read him bedtime stories and stuff -- from Hemingway, of course.

Yeah, good point about Wrex. He does have full access to the female camp.  I so did that with Grunt too. He's like my little baby Krogan. Might have to brush up on my Hemingway though, I was going with Poe myself.

[ravenimage]

Mmm... Poe. I bet he'd like Poe. It's disturbing enough.
