Thanks, Sesh and Fort!

I went with Yilmaz because it's the name on the jewelry bag my sister sent me when she was stationed in Turkey. I have no idea if it's a Turkish name or not, I'm just hoping.

If we all use it, can we make it canon?

Ohh... I can sense somebody cooking up some Rhana plot... *evilgrin* Can't wait, although, personally I always wanted to kick her in the teeth, Jack style.



Goodnight all, sleep time!

Uhm, no. Not cooking up. Done. It's being beta'd right now. I'm simply fact checking things I'm unsure of. For those wondering...it is not the sequel to A Soldier's Weakness.

I honestly never felt any ill will towards Rahna. I just equated her spurning of Kaidan as her loss.

Me too.

Hell, I don't even have reason to hate the Citadel doctor. It's not her fault that she was set up with him for a casual date.

[sapphyreelf]

Contrary to my portrayal of the doctor in my fic, I don't hate her either.

And if it went farther, you would have been okay with it?

Okay I have a question along these lines... If Kaidan had talked to the squad members durning the two years that Shepard was dead, then why didn't any of them talk to her about him It was kind of obvious she was looking for him... and for that matter, who were these "friends" that he is talking about, he was always solitary before....


Okay take it and put me in my place

[legbamel]

The only time you saw him was when he was on a small ship as the second-highest-ranking officer. Obviously he's not a big fan of fraternization (although his opinion may have changed by the end of ME1) but back on the Citadel he'd be surrounded by officers as well as NCOs, and by people with whom he's served longer than the strangers on the SR-1. Besides, his completely solitary nature on the Normand is more a plot device than an indication of his character. He's certainly friendly enough with people when you get him off of the ship (though no one is exactly "chatty").



That's my take on it, anyway.

Pow, and it's a direct hit!!

Here's my take on Kaidan.

I am a firm believer that the doctor never got past casual. If there had been potential for more, it ended the moment he learned Shep was alive. The email indicates that the date was recent, and he would have to be a bit more involved than a couple of dates for drinks to get that intimate with her. I'm not a believer that he has to be in love with every woman he sleeps with, but I believe he has to care and want to see where things could go in order to take that step.

I don't think Kaidan would have kept in touch with most of the crew from the SR-1, even if he could have. He strikes me as the kind who would close himself off from memories associated with Shepard as much as possible. That would be anyone from her former squad and crew.

As far as the "friends" thing, he was solitary on the SR-1 because that's all we ever saw of him. I doubt very seriously he's that much of a lone wolf. He likely still has friends from Basic, any of the schools the Alliance put him through, and not to mention from the several tours he already has. There are countless amount of people that he could know that we don't ever see because it's not relevant to the ME story.

Re: Kaidan and friends...I keep thinking that Kaidan has to still be in contact with some of the kids he knew in Brain Camp. They suffered with him, watched him kill someone in defense of one of them. Yeah, some would have bailed/been scared/whatever, but for others it would have strengthened the bond. A survivor's club of sorts.

A little google turns it up as a Turkish surname, so you're all good if you ask me.

It's very plausible that he is. He doesn't really say much about it after he tells you the Vyrnnus story and the fallout. Just that he went off and got himself together before enlisting.

Of course, all the survivors would be L2s, so it's possible there aren't many left for him to be in contact with too.

[tigrina]

About Kaidan solitary: he doesn't come across as such. He might not go to parties much due to his migraine, but he certainly isn't anti-social either. Drunk Dr. Chakwas suggests that he was a friend of Jenkins, for instance (also his own email suggests as much). Since Kaidan is, in my opinion, very open minded and non-judgemental, I can't really see how he can not have friends. Although how far anyone gets beyond his normal friendliness depends highly on personal interpretation.



/hm. sees a lot of parallels here with someone real life..

How come he didn't know the people who were holding that politician captive?  That is what always confuses me.

Let's not forget that he like Chora's Den.

Kaidan mentions that it's got quite the, uh, view... when you enter Chora's Den. Also, Ash tells him to put his tongue back in his mouth. It suggests that he at least likes some of the moving decor.

Nope... I said Chora's Den.  Ashley yells at him if she is in the party.

Kaidan is a guy after all... he may be professional and polite but he has man feelings like every other straight guy.

I think it's a case of that they are all L2s, but the ones holding the politician captive weren't necessarily Brain Camp kids. They don't spell out the total number of humans with biotics, but we can guess that it's probably high enough that not every L2 would necessarily know each other.

[kuoleman]

I take him to be more of a leader type personality. Friendly and social, but aloof in the sense he is an officer. When he talks about BAAT he talks like he was friendly with all the kids, even Rahna, but I got the impression he was a ringleader of sorts. Especially if Vyrnnus singled him out/he stood up to him...vice versa.

BaAT existed from 2160 till 2169, and I don't think anyone was there for that long.
