Spice junkies.

We don't have enough Miranda going on here. jtav, how's the writing coming? Got a good flow going?

[jtav]

Actually, I'm thinking of scrapping it and starting over. Feels like it's starting in the wrong place.

Why's that? And if you do, please warn me. I don't know what Nightwriter will do.

It just feels wrong, like it doesn't play up the idea of trust enough. And too similar to Be All Our Sins Maybe start with him getting the mission from TIM?

Something that been pondering about lately is just how much info Miranda actually knows about all the various operations in Cerberus.

Granted we know how they have the seperate divisions and they tend to not know each other, but she is fairly high up the ladder so have to wonder if she knows more than others. If so that would surely make her someone they need to eliminate if she quits in case she were to decide to pass on the information she knows.

She knows just enough, I think. For example, she knows of the previous, failed experiments that have been done before (e.g., the rachni and thorian experiments, etc.), and it's very possible that she has heard of the cells that have gone rogue in the past as well; however, the real question is how much of this information is truly controlled by TIM himself.

EDI notes that there are no more than a dozen (maximum) number of cells at any given time that are being overlooked by TIM, but I think proclaiming that certain cells have gone 'rogue' is his way of disavowing any information and responsibility about them when news about their questionalble activities has gone out. TIM can't be that unaware, can he? And he seems to be quite the machiavellian character passionate about his cause.

Every cell leader would then only know about such turn of events as TIM sees fit. In other words, it could be TIM's way of firmly controlling his cell leaders, and thus keeping the loyalty of those who wouldn't agree to such projects.

I see. That could work.

Wait, stop everyone! I'll handle this. *clears throat*

The sample scene I just read was superb and there was nothing wrong with it! Nothing! 

You're getting writer's anxiety. That's when you are bodily assaulted with a sudden overwhelming and irrational wave of doubt and panic that springs up out of freaking nowhere telling you that you've done everything all wrong and suddenly you're thinking no, no, that's not right, stupid! stupid! ball the paper up, throw it in the trash!

Ignore it! It means nothing. Doubt is the enemy of imagination and pressure the enemy of creativity.

Has anyone noticed Miranda is kind of a pessimist and maybe a little neurotic.

Of course. These are the graces of having a screwed up childhood. Behold the glory.

Yes.  She reminds me of...me.

I just had an awesome thought, that I was going to ask the people on Jack's thread in hopes of being flamed out, but I'll ask it hear. Now,I was in purgatory and I had Miranda in my party and she suggested knocking out Jack (which you cant do) was a good idea if she was optional. But, she wasn't which makes Miranda look dumb (I blame developer's) back to the point It got me thinking why wasn't their a bomb or an obedience chip or even a tracking device placed in Jacks head? Some why to control a powerful biotic that you don't want to lose.

I wouldn't call her a pessimist. More a realist. Miranda never believes anything is impossible, she is just good at pointing out why it might be difficult. As for neurotic... I don't like that term, its implications involve a little too much "crazy". A little obsessive, yes, but considering the expectations placed on her by herself and others, it's not all that surprising that she would be a little bit of a control freak.

Perhaps installing a control chip would limit her potential as a biotic. Biotic abilities do require very fine control over the nervous system and anything that restricts that control might have unpleasant consequences.

Miranda wanted to put a chip in Jack after she rebuilt her but the Illusive Man was afraid it would change her personality and she wouldn't come back the way she was.

Wait.
