Ah, that's right! The Bioware Trademark Sex Scene shall soon be upon us!
So, EDI's got a message for us.
... what the fuck were they taking before? The teleporter? A fucking slide?
No, really honestly seriously, they take the damn shuttle for every mission. Turn around sometime when a level starts, you can see it. Why is EDI telling us this? How is this any different than anything ever?
But, nevertheless, the game lovingly shows a cut scene of every character boarding the shuttle.
Can they all fit? I thought they couldn't all fit. I thought that's why I only got to bring two squadmates. (You know how much better the Mass Effect series would be with three squadmates? You get three in Dragon Age, it's not like Bioware doesn't have the damn technology just lying around.)
Where the hell are they all going? I don't know. The game never answers that for us. It's just everybody piling into the shuttle, and then the next plot point happens. I think I read in the wiki like a hundred years ago that they're going on "the next mission", also defined as the one you just did, so, uh, Legion's loyalty? The whole Normandy went to Heretic Station? But that would mean ten people sat in the shuttle and ... it's Mass Effect. Ten people sat in the shuttle and played with whatever weird alien genitalia they have while Shepard, Legion and Whoever palled around Heretic Station. Why not.
... okay, let's give a real answer, even if we have to pull it from the dark recesses of our own ass. They're taking a shuttle to the Citadel. I'm the one with the copy of MSPaint, I'm going to make an executive decision.
lucky you, shepard~
Hell yes I'm doing a second one of these. Husbando~ requested it, and he's cooking tonight, so let's go.
Besides, this is preservation! This is important!
And how else will we understand the rich tapestry that is Mass Effect, unless we look at it's smaller stories?
The Citadel is full of these little sidequests detailing the individual struggles of these people living in --
... okay, so there's like three, and I had to cheat a little.
True story, I managed to trigger this Easter egg accidentally the night before Mass Effect 3 released.
NEXT TIME: plot
