And now, to the atrium of Grissom Academy.
This is one of the harder sections of the game. It's mostly hard because people do it too early. (Including me. I totally forgot and marched straight into Grissom.) But still, you will die in the Grissom atrium. Like, freals.
Also, most people bring EDI into Grissom, because this is the first mission where she's available. EDI will not help you in the atrium. This is what she does:
EDI also has a power called decoy, where she makes a second EDI, which does nothing except put a second ass in your face.
As you go along Grissom, you'll discover some kids who are trying to defend themselves against Cerberus.
If you didn't do the Mass Effect 2 DLC, Kahlee promptly comes over the loudspeaker and makes fun of the kids. But we DID, so:
Shepard comes across an Atlas pilot who isn't watching his back none too good, so she does the natural thing:
You can use the Atlas in the next combat area! I mean, you don't have to? But why would you not.
Finally, we can get to the shuttle!
.... it's .... it's just faster to assume that any time there's a cut scene, Shepard is in cool down.
Anyway, let's all pile into the shuttle and fly away from Grissom.
... yeah, so. The game gives you this choice by the way. Hey, I love kids? I don't trust most kids to handle hard candy, you sure as hell can bet that I'm not going to trust them to save the damn galaxy. Fuck no. Bitch, I have a house to worry about. You put those kids on the front line, they'll be too busy playing Pokemon or falling over or some shit to actually do anything.
I don't even know if that's the paragon or renegade option? I think I'm missing out on some war assets, and also this is my no1curr face.
Kahlee comes over the speaker in the shuttle and says some bullshit, to include:
Time to Space Skype! Hi, Anderson!
Hey everyone, that's how I celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, by describing old people sex. Happy holidays!
