My opinion on Niket? It was a family matter. What Miranda did was none of his damn business. She didn't even have to tell him. She only did because he was a friend and she DECIDED that he deserved to know. Wasn't a right, wasn't even a privlege.
His objections about Orianna was crap. It was for the money and he was jealous that Miranda had money when he didn't. He assumed that Miranda took all her father's money to live the way she wanted, conviently ignoring the fact the Miranda left everything behind (That would include money) when she joined Cerberus.
Right, going on to more pleasant matters. I'm doing well in chapter 4, though Miranda/Shepard interactions are giving me a bit of difficulty. It's hard to balance distrust and respect. Especially since I wrote that Shepard is the CO and Miranda is the XO, two positions that usually require a lot of trust.
This chapter is really looking to be a long one too. I'm at 24 pages and I've only done 1/4 of the section I had planned to write.
I'm hoping to be done by Wed. though. To any that care, here's a quick passage from the Normandy:
During her maiden voyage, all the crew members were expected to report to their stations. This was mainly to become familiar with various systems, other people, and the Normandy herself.
Once underway, the crew broke into their respective shifts. Off-duty personnel stowed away their belongings in the crew quarters and explored the frigate. Once finished, they all trickled down toward the common area to better know the people they were serving alongside.
Stories were exchanged, family talked about, skills bragged about, experience on other vessels boasted, very normal procedure on any new ship. It didn’t matter if it was civilian, merchant, or military.
Of course, none of the crewman had any stories that they could ever recall seeing their commanding officer stomp out of the medical bay. None could say they ever saw the furious mask on the any captain’s face match the one they saw on the former Spectre. Not one could even remember ever hearing something as different as the situation they observed as they hurriedly moved out of the way.
Appearing completely obvious to their presence, the crew watched as Shepard marched toward Executive Lawson’s office.
“What do you think is going on?” Crewman Patel asked no one in particular.
“I don’t know and I don’t want to know. Not if I want to keep breathing anyway,” Mess Sergeant Gardner said decisively, returning to his sink to clean trays.
A murmur in the in affirmative echoed through the room, as everybody stayed away from the XO’s office. As curious as humans were, they also have survival instincts to pay attention too as well.

We did these dialogues in the original thread - Johnny was a fake boyfriend that was dating Miranda/Shepard's daughter..
We thought up these dialogues on how they would torture him.

I guess karma for torturing this thread with excerpts is coming back to bite me.

You should be more vocal, Sledgehammer. If I remember correctly, you've had some interesting points in discussions in the past.Sledgehammer44mm wrote...

I can't decide between her white or black outfit. Black brings out her overal figure imho and looks badass(and it has the same colours that my sheps armor has). White really brings out her.. uhm.. features.
I can't stand her leather outfit - and I seem to be the only one, haha.
Her hair and her outfit - is dark overload for me.

I'd go with both.
Do a couple missions with and without the white one and vice versa.
You could also do one playthrough of her in her white uniform and one of her in the black leather type.

Similar to my thoughts on how Niket viewed Miranda's life back a page or two. I haven't seen anyone else say that they share my theory about Miranda's upbringing, but I guess fans of a character saying a crazy theory is possible is good too.

I'm in a sentimental mood, so I come bearing a question: when did your Shepard fall in love with Miranda?
Hm, that's an interesting standpoint.
He began caring for her as soon as he saw her true side during her loyalty mission.. but I don't think he truly realized he loved her til she was sliding down the Collector platform - and he jumped to save her.
Not saying the jump made him realize - but rather how much his world would be destroyed if he lost this woman.

Same here. The leather doesn't look bad on her because... well, honestly, she could wear a potato sack and look better than most people. I just greatly prefer the white outfit, myself.Jediknight120 wrote...
