Oh god Ieldra, I just don't have a clue what her codename would be? Cheerleader?
Probably not, but It would possibly appeal to her dry sense of humor to use a name orignally meant as disparaging, and given by Jack of all people.

If the game does not tell us that there's no change in Shepard's lifespan, and procedures have been done on him that could plausibly result in a longer lifespan (which have been done), then we are completely justified in believing what suits us best - in my case, I want Shepard and Miranda to age at a similar speed.Collider wrote...
On the subject at hand, I'd wager that Miranda would probably have a higher lifespan, at least because we're given an indication so whereas with Shepard we aren't. I imagine that Shepard may have gotten some upgrades, but as Valmy said they also did not want him to be incredibly different.Valmy wrote...
I think the goal was to bring him back as close to how he was as possible. If they had wanted to improve him I suppose they could have given him super strength and lightening reflexes and improved biotics and the like.jtav wrote...
This probably too much to ask, but I wish we knew if the Lazarus Project affected how fast Shepard aged. It would make imagining far future (20-30 years in) scenarios easier. If he ages normally, there's going to come a point where he looks (and in some ways is) significantly older. His 80s will be her 50s. Or it could go the other way, with his cybernetics giving him a much longer lifespan than hers. Interesting, either way. The romantic in me wants his aging speed to match hers.
Ah, and as I understand it, ageing is largely a function of accumulated gene decay, so if Shepard's been rebuilt with newly synthetized cells, then his age might have been reset a bit.

I know BW didn't want to overwhelm us with either angst or pseudoscience, but I wish we could have asked Miranda about some of this stuff. "What's changed? Am I still me? How'd you restore my memories? Can I have kids someday?" Preferably long before the romance started.

lol, that's probably true (especially given some of your lines in me2).Ieldra2 wrote...
Oh, I think Shepard is a better squad leader than Miranda when it comes to combat. On the other side, he can't do subtle, and Miranda is the better coordinator of spy operations.
shep is a natural leader, though - a future leonidas.jtav wrote...
Actually, I suspect it's going to take a
while for Shep and Miranda to sleep (as in actually sleep) together. No
particular reason for this, but I think they mostly sneaked back to
their own quarters afterwards. I also think they keep their personal and
professional relationships very separate.They treat each other very
differently on duty than at other times.

I'd have preferred some remotely plausible pseudoscience here instead of the grossly implausible pseudoscience of the human Reaper.jtav wrote...

I don't suggest it should be the primary perspective to view the world through, but It's a useful perspective to adopt, especially since collective power relationships are a reality. Don't delude yourself into believing our societies are not stratified just because the stratification isn't codified in law. Viewed in this perspective, the question "why do men tend to monopolize power in almost all human societies?" tends to create different paths of thought than if you keep to an individual-centred perspective. I won't go into that seriously OT stuff here, but maybe I'll post something later in the Serious Discussion Group.Valmy wrote...
Yeah it is this last part, the sort of Michel Foucault/Karl Marx stuff, that makes me a little leery. I am not too interested in viewing the world in terms of power relationships.
I'm more with jtav on this one. Being comfortable with sleeping in the same bed is something altogether different from generally being "all over each other". I'm almost certain Miranda would want to keep to herself at least part of the time, even if only to reflect on things undisturbed by the presence of anyone else. I think she'd need that. Miranda strikes me as a person who take only so much being close to someone else. She needs her time alone as well as her time with Shepard.Jebel Krong wrote...

no, i get the feeling they'd start to sleep together more or less straight away - once the initial "wall" has been broken, they'd be all over each other, and there'd be no hiding it (i'm talking emotionally as well btw).

i think that would be covered by having her own office/space for her on-ship duties as XO.
depends on the job you're doing, in my experience @ work, i can't wait to get home to the wife/son. but then i hate my job...Ieldra2 wrote...

it's not like she'd be giving up her office/space, i think knowing it's there would be enough. besides given missions and life on-board ship, it's not like they'd be in each other's faces all the time.
Why should that cause problems? Miranda is - and hopefully will continue to be - something independently from Shepard. I would really hate it if she started to define herself exclusively around her relationship with him, and my Shepards most certainly will not begrudge her a personal and mental space they doesn't share.Breakdown Boy wrote...
Miranda would most definitly try to keep her independence and that could cause problems later as she would still not give everything of herself to Shep, at least not for long period.
