That actually looks pretty good, but I always thought of her as having pale skin, because their skin never gets exposed to sunlight you know?
She has a different genetic makeup, never know how the chirality will affect her, might be pigment is reversed as well....

Looks like were getting into thinking that killing for the greater good is ok. But what it all boils down to is the person that has to make the desicion, if for any reason someone had to make a choice to save millions by killing a few hundred they would like to think they would do it. However when you are faced with a problem like that the stakes change and you don't jump to a decision nearly as fast. Either way its a costly transaction and many people would look to there own personal gain, or there own consience for the final answer.
Again, not everthing is like a game, there is no magical hidden third option to save everyone in real life. If you kill a few you were trying to defend as the only resort to saving many more, then you definitely accomplished something.

Hey people who read the books, is it better to read them in order?
not really but Ascension and Retribution are very related.
All the books fit together though. If you want a better effect then yes read them in order.
(I would read them in order)

Hey, I don't agree with what the Council did, and I fully regret wasting human lives to save them in ME1 (sorta. I mean, at least humans are respect more now for saving their worthless carcasses). I'm just saying that if you're thinking the way the Council does, it makes a twisted sort of sense.
As for the colony the quarians were squatting, we don't know the whole story. First, the quarians WERE in the wrong by squatting the planet. Second, I'm willing to bet the Council had something to gain by screwing them over in favor of the elcor. Again, I don't condone it, but I'm sure it made some kind of sick realpolitik sense.

The reason why going after Vido is wrong is because you have the power to save those people. Damning them to death to capture one man means you believe you have the right to say who lives and who dies. Honestly, I don't see why you can just split up the group, You and Zaeed go after Vido, and whoever else goes to put out firesPhil725 wrote...

I was more referring to the whole kill 100 to save a thousand situation, you've hit on another grey area. If you let the murderer go in your situation, and he kills 20 people before you get another chance to stop him, then it was worth it to kill those 8.
Tieing it in to Mass Effect. Compare it to Zaeed's loyalty mission, stop a merc leader and ruthless murderer, letting innocents die in the process, or save the innocents, and let Vido go. IMO, its better to kill Vido. He is all but guaranteed to kill a lot more people if you let him live. Unfortunately there is no way to know in some cases what the right decision is until its too late. This is a troublesome grey area, and a lot of times, your stuck choosing between two wrong answers.

Politically it makes sense but the council is condoning legal piracy, so long as it's their own.
The Council was advocating a class 2 offense of their own treaty (bombardment of a garden world) as a response to a specie that was about to recover.
Condoning a specie to exile and death by attrition is pretty damn cold. I vote for a new council. I may be a paragon but working for a council of gutless butchers is sickening me.
