A proud basement-dweller, eh? I think that only works for Jack.

Nah, just a northern facing apartment. With trees.

Marijuana humor is hilarious!

Hell look at her eyes in that screen shot. She looks like she is stoned as a goat.

Double entendre? Anywho I figure in her spare time she's doing the same as Garrus and everyone else. Get caught doing drugs, say you were in the middle of some calibrations.

That is a joke.

But Mondo opened my eyes.

Goat_Shepard, you take some great screenshots.

Actually, I don't. But I will. You could just tap the ss key or set it to every half-second and I swear it's foolproof.

Listening again, Courtenay's voice makes me think Jack is closer to Shepard's age. It's saucy and experienced. The shape of Jack's face itself convinces me she's mid-20's, but that 20+ years for Jack was a lifetime compared to most lives, and Courtenay captured that. Made me think twice about that subject when talking to her, which was intriguing.

Doing a little stripmining I actually found myself reading the blurb for Korar... a rough thirty or so years before the events of ME2, every child on the planet was taken in a "pirate raid". Why would pirates specifically target so many children in one go? Call me suspicious, but that seems like something done to order, as opposed to just going out there and raiding some dustbowl colony on a nowhere little mining planet (also one highly involved in space industry... potential for foetal E-Zo exposure there perhaps). It may well not be where Jack came from specifically, but it's not inconcievable that whoever took those kids took them for a large-scale project involving a lot of juvenile test subjects... restocking at Teltin, maybe? This would make Jack older than she appears.

Just one of those passing thoughts...

I agree, It does seem to support that theory.

Since Korar was in the Omega cluster, I suspect the pirates took all the children and then gave them to the Collectors. But wouldn't be surprised if Jack was a byproduct of an "accidental" eezo accident on some colony world. Don't know how long before the test results were positive for biotic potential versus horrible defect, though. With the way the marvels of medical science are portrayed in the ME universe, I suspect they'd know fairly quickly in the fetal development cycle. And I'm sure if a women was pregnant or soon pregnant after such an accident, they'd be particularly fastidious about medical checkups. Or if the area that was hit was relatively poor, I can see some "benign" company setting up free medical checkups for pregnant women after such a horrible accident.

Anyway, always leads me back to wondering about Jack's origins before Teltin. Picked simply because she was like any other biotic? Or specifically picked to be Subject Zero because they knew she was a particularly gifted biotic from the start? Tracked from birth? Found among random slaves? Given? Stolen? Orchestrated?

It's not a spoiler, but there was something from the latest book that made me think about Jack's training based on how they describe training at the Ascension Project. But I once got into an argument over whether telling someone the title of the first Star Wars prequel movie could be classified as a spoiler, so I won't go into it unless others here are cool with the peripheral biotic comments of the book and not the plot itself.

They were the terms of the negotiations since Red Team ran out of ammo.

It's the best thing since grifball, york.

@Pacifien if you say it's not a spoiler then I believe you. What does Retribution say about biotics and how did it relate to Jack's training from hell Teltin.

Nah LG, I got what you meant. The thread's just in that lull where everyone is either busy, or waiting to post something relevant.

Like this. Which is completely irrelevant. Sort of. Maybe.

I am insane.
