Yeah, we have Mordin and the people who brought Shepard back from the dead. If they work together, they should be able to come up with a cure for Thane!

[Fiery Phoenix]

The sad thing is we never were able to talk to Thane about a cure AFTER establishing a relationship with him. The Thane that refuses a cure and wants to die is one that is either non-romanced or disloyal (or both). Obviously, as of the romance scene, this is no longer the case.

[JECWSU]

Shepard was dead for two years. You can't get any more permanent than death. Somehow they managed to bring her back. They should be able to find some way to cure Thane.

[Ravenya]

I completely agree! Thane needs to live it would be an awesome side quest set!

[Hedgepath]

OK - I cut and pasted the stuff below the line, from what I posted on previous pages & threads, rather than retype. AND, I'll add this new info......with this infection, Thane's lungs are filling with fluid (from the destruction of lung tissues, dead bacterial cells, other debris - imagine the "casualties of war", instead of bodies, it's dead cells and their contents). He will need this drained periodically, through a catheter in his chest, where the fluid is located (called a thoracentesis). How much time he has left is dependant on his exposure to humid air/planets/environments, and the damage to his other organs from the spreading bacteria, along with the stuff Chakwas mentioned......

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just gotta say...Feron's lung (or any lungs) transplanted into Thane wouldn't be fair to either one, and wouldn't cure Thane, so neither Thane nor Shep would allow it, imo....

Thane's bacterial infection has spread to his other organs, so it would also spread to transplanted lungs very quickly. He'd only have his life extended for some months (as few as 6, as many as 12, and that's if he is very lucky, and/or the infection growth rate is "slowed" by something), and NOT be cured........



He needs nanotech and a "combination" of antibiotics. It's what we have discovered in this "day & age", (think TB, MRSA, etc). In the MEverse (2030's or later, is it?), they gotta be smarter and more advanced than us, and we're successfully curing "resistant bacterial infections" now with 2 or 3 antibiotics.... Come on, they brought Shep back from dessicated space muck & dust, so with all the xenospecies and intelligence out there, I refuse to believe that they will let Thane die from a bacteria!!! Really, he dies from a bacterial infection???? We rarely have bacterial infections kill people now, and it's 2011...............



Sorry about that, but you all who know me, have heard this from me before. Those that haven't, my bad, I just don't want BW to kill off a character, that won an award for them, and that has exceeded their expectations....in a lame ass way. Okay, done now *leans back and sips green tea*

Cia, is it GREEN TEA that is in Thane's mug then, eh?

And thankyou for your biology clarifications. It is entirely feasible for them to come up with a cure. Isn't Keprel's syndrome a bacterial infection that is caused by the buildup of moisture in drell's lungs (when they are more designed for more arid environments.)

Is it, then, similar to bronchitus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is the buildup of mucus in your lungs. We can cure that now, so Keprel's syndrome should, theoretically be easy...



However, this is sci-fi, and it isn't theoretical. We have to bear in mind that we are dealing with alien biology who may have a more complicated anatomy and a whole different system to ours. So, because drell are a whole different species, it is impossible to compare.



I, personally, will accept that Thane may pass away in the epilogue like Kim said. But because of Bioware's enthusiasm for the 'Cure for Thane,' I no longer think this will be the case.

I love Thane. But I accept that when you are in a situation like his, it is virtually impossible for things to have a happy ending. However, I think his story arc will take a magnificent turn in ME3.



My favourite outcome, is still Thane having his life prolonged through some sacrifice, or a moral choice. It would appeal to those who would like a bittersweet ending, those who want some realism in his character completion, and to those who want him alive and kicking with Shepard

[Kim Shepard]

I don't understand all of the medical stuff, but... that's why we have Mordin. He cured that plague on Omega. He's helping out with a cure for Garrus' mother. Thane is the next logical step. My Shepards will put that poor guy to work.

This would be my favorite scenario too. My ThaneShep would be willing to make a morally questionable choice, depending on what it is, to save the man she loves. And if not, there's always EvilShep to make the morally questionable choice whether Thane likes it or not.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Exactly. I think it would be really touching if it happens. And it would really demonstrate the depth of the relationship between Shepard and Thane. And I think their relationship is the deepest, especially because it is the only romance option that has the 'l' word somewhere in it.

Also, welcome to those who have popped into to show their support! Ravenya, and someone on the previous page as well, welcome!!

And also, isn't there a doctor mentioned on one of the achievements of the Arrival DLC? We could always ask her if she would cure Thane?

[hanar05]

I think a non-romanced Thane would wanna be cured too.

He becomes friends with Shepard, gets back in contact with his son and finds a new goal. Plenty of reason to live



I actually regularly suffer from pleurisy, which is caused by an infection. It affects my ability to breathe. I imagine Kepral's is similar, except for the fact it's terminal. The closest thing to a cure for both is dosing up on antibiotics, it's just unfortunate that the drell have now become resistant to hanar antibiotics.

If they were to find a new antibiotic that is effective, maybe an antibiotic of different origin, it could be a temporary cure and could greatly improve a drell's life expectancy.

[Hedgepath]

Tash - I totally agree, if they choose not to cure Thane, then "going out inna blaze of glory" saving Shep or the universe, I can live with that.....

Kinda similar to tuberculosis, methycillian resistant staph aureus or a really bad case of pneumonia than bronchitis. (because bronchitis is a swelling of the airways, and can be caused from cancer, viruses, bacterias, etc)

Kim Shep - I agree with both Tash & you, let's just have some good writing regarding Thane in ME3, and not take the easy way out of "he died in the interim, so he isn't available as a choice in ME3"....I just want him to get the recognition he deserves, dammit...
*ends tirade and sips Thane's drink*

hanar - sorry to hear about your pleurisy, OUCH, had it once myself, but never recurred...Yep, I agree, with the antibx and mixing 2 or 3, should do it......

Thane's romance seems to be the most "romantic" to me, particularly from his end of it. From Shepard's end, it can be whatever the player wants, but there's no arguing the fact that a romanced Thane is in love with Shepard, unlike the other romances that can be debated. (I think at least Tali, Garrus, Liara, and Jack either love shepard or are well on their way to it if romanced though.)

I just hope the only way to cure Thane isn't DLC. Because, in my case, Thane would die every time simply because I don't have the DLC. That would be unfortunate.

[Fiery Phoenix]

Unless they make said DLC canonical, Kim -- as is the case with LOTSB.

[Kim Shepard]

That would work for me. I would be disappointed that I missed whatever moral choice went along with it, but at least Thane would be alive.

This doctor of archeology, seems.  About it was news to the Cerberus Daily News.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

However, if they made Thane related DLC (which I doubt they would) this would probably decrease his chances of being a squaddie in ME3.

But I could live with 'canonical' DLC if Thane's story came to a completion. I think that his story arc ends on a cliffhanger the most.

And of course non romanced Thane needs to have his life prolonged too! My mainshep needs her sniper buddies! And if she was a doctor of archeology, I guess that is a no go...

[Kim Shepard]

My MainShep wants Thane around too! Not to mention my Earthborn Ruthless, who has a "you will live, like it or not" attitude. Too many people get themselves killed on purpose in front of the poor guy. xD

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

On purpose?

'NOOO don't push me out of that window Earthborn Ruthless!!!!' *Jumps out of the window*

A bit like that

I think that despite some Thane trolling that is happening right now, there are a lot of guys who see Thane as a bro.

[Collider]

Thane's easy to get along with.

[Kim Shepard]

I agree, Collider. Even my Shepards who don't share Thane's opinions can get along with him well enough because of his polite, respectful personality.

No, not like that. xD In the incredibly long backstory I created for him, Saren is actually the fourth person to get himself killed on purpose (suicide) in front of Earthborn Ruthless. And the second to fall from the Citadel tower while doing so. Did I mention his past is horrible?

This could probably work very well Tasha if the writing is good.
I just want him in ME3, and for my Shepard alive and kicking.

That's a nice screenshot. And Thane agrees with us! Awesome.

[Tasha vas Nar Rayya]

Ava, that really made me chuckle!
Ava: I just want him in ME3, and for my Shepard alive and kicking.
Thane: Agreed.
Hehehehehe!!!

[Zeeha]

Did someone see the ME3 trailer? Looks like Thane get's tortured ...
Anyone knows anything about this?

I just so hope it does not mean he is getting killed!!!!
