Go To


Everybody always comes back to the Citadel, but me especially

Well holy crap, Anderson is not only alive on Earth, but I am actually able to talk to him via holo-call!

Joker seems to say exactly what I'm thinking sometimes. In the cockpit, he mentions that anybody who messed with Jack's kids would get turned into a smear on the floor and/or ceiling, and how the fact it was Cerberus attacking must've been like Christmas for her.

Oh, Gabby and Ken! I forgot all about them, but walking down to Engineering and looking for people to talk to I have stumbled across them. Ken likes EDI's new body. Forget about them making the ship run better, it was worth pardoning them just to hear their banter.

Space hamster running around in the bowels of Engineering! Wait, no, that sounds bad considering a certain urban legend about what somebody once did with a hamster. Below decks in Engineering. Well, either way, I managed to pick him up despite him running all over the place. Hey little guy.

Shit, not only was walking in on Steve and seeing him in so much emotional pain a figurative Tear Jerker, it literally made my eyes well up with tears. At least he feels a little bit better now.

Well, I really wanted to find the artifact that black market guy wanted in exchange for selling weapons to C-Sec in exchange for Septimus not going after Blue Suns in exchange for Blue Suns joining Aria so I looked at the wiki and found that I could find what he wanted in Kite's Nest. This involved planet scanning which is much less of a pain in the ass than it was in the second game, thankfully. Although I wish I didn't have to worry about the scans attracting Reapers. Anyway, now all three merc teams are on board, I have more troops, and I can also do the Omega DLC whenever I want.

Miranda has contacted me via e-mail and wants to see me on the Citadel. Be interested to hear her thoughts on what the Illusive Man is doing. Also, Kaidan says he's improved some more, so I go to check on him, and I look in all of the rooms in the hospital for him without any luck before I notice "Hey, none of the rooms you looked in have the bed with Kaidan because Kaidan is out of bed and standing up!" Sorry Kaidan, didn't recognize you vertical and with clothes on.

So he's getting out soon, and he's a Spectre now. Before he rejoins the Normandy, though, he'd like to track down old biotic students of his that I didn't even know he had; I thought he had just gone straight from B Aa T to the military. Okay, well, another lucratrive side mission in my future I guess; the last one made me 50k credits, after all.

Hey, this is interesting. The asari scientist I gave the biotic crap she was looking for to, when I talk to her now, is telling the person on the other end of the line to inform Matriarch Aethyta that they can equip the huntresses now or something. Aethyta the half-krogan bartender! She's joined the fight! Awesome.

Oh good! While looking at various kiosks in the commons, I see that the one near Barla Von is selling a thingamabob that takes care of fish by automatically feeding them, cleaning the tank, and even talking to them while you're off saving the galaxy. When I have another 25k I don't know what to do with, I'll buy that, then start buying fish. Those constant trips up to my cabin to feed the fish after every mission in ME2 got tiresome. Also, the first time I got back to find dead fish floating on the top because, as I learned afterwards, they needed to be fed and starved to death since I hadn't done so? That kind of sucked.

(Yes, I know that if you romance Kelly she will feed them for you. But between my two playthroughs I was involved with Jack, Liara, and Morinth to have time for her, although that last one was an extremely short-term relationship.)

Udina continues to surprise by no longer being a complete Jerkass, because I'm just getting around to speaking with the Avina in the refugee area now and it turns out he was the one who motioned for the Council to set aside that space for them.

Miranda is waiting for me near the entrance to the Normandy, and she has not heard from her sister. That's bad. She's also left Cerberus. That's good. She also no longer sees the Illusive Man as God. Also good.

Well, time to blow this popsicle stand, to employ an expression I have not heard in decades and which I ridiculously hope I can bring back by using it once in a liveblog with a very limited readership.
