Assault 1900 BCE - The Krogans enter the nuclear age, which results in a global conflict that
decimates the planet and triggers an eternal nuclear winter. The conflict and resulting devastation
make the advanced Krogan society devolve into a collection of warring clans fighting over a
wasteland. 710 CE - The Turians release a bioweapon developed by a Salarian scientist called the
genophage. This causes a genetic mutation that reduces the viability of pregnancies in the Krogan.
The Krogan population starts declining at an alarming rate, with only 1 in every 1000 births being
successful. © Future US, Inc. Full 7th Floor, 130 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036. The
personal terminal near the bed contains a message for Ahern about getting supplies. Shepard can use
the terminal to get access to low, medium, or high grade armor, weapons, and mods for prices a lot
cheaper than the stores elsewhere will sell them for, usually. Perhaps even more important than the
pricing arrangements, the Commander can obtain some of the finest items in the galaxy using this
terminal. Mass Effect Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. They soon realised the situation was
dire. Without sufficient numbers to sustain a viable population, the Prothean species was doomed.
Desperate for contact with others of their kind, a carefully-coded signal was sent to the beacons on
other planets. Though it was unlikely there were other survivors, the scientists thought it was worth
the risk to try reaching them. The signal not only contained a warning of the Reaper invasion, but a
description of Ilos itself, to give them hope. Mass Effect talents work outside combat as well,
particularly the tech talents related to Electronics. Decryption works like a lockpick on containers
and doors, while Electronics itself salvages equipment you find and helps repair the Mako if it’s
damaged. The first datapad's location on the map. Ontamalca Saronis Applications Tracking Kahlee
to Elysium, Anderson is reunited with Jon Grissom, now retired, who turns out to be Kahlee's father.
He tells him that he sent her away from Elysium to safety. Anderson leaves but a few days later,
Skarr shows up and attacks Grissom and Kahlee, who were in fact hiding in Grissom's house.
Anderson returns and fights Skarr—in the middle of the battle Saren appears and drives Skarr off.
However, the krogan manages to escape. Saren questions Kahlee about Sidon. She lies and says they
were researching human biotics, knowing that if she revealed the truth about the research being done
on Sidon, Saren would alert the Council and the Alliance would be in trouble. With the Atlas,
Cerberus's research arm has combined the deadly armor and firepower of a YMIR mech with the
tactical superiority of a trained human pilot. An element zero core allows the Atlas to be air-dropped
onto a battlefield with minimal impact damage. Its thick armor includes a robust transparent canopy
made from a polycrystalline composite proprietary to Cerberus. Alliance engineers hypothesize that
the material is some kind of synthetic sapphire composed with interlayers to resist cracking and
thermal damage. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
Here’s how it works. Mass Effect has six classes, three basic ones and three combination classes,
each with a set of specializations and talents. They stay the same across the trilogy, but the talents
and their power change in each game. In a backroom lab, Desolas explains the setup to Harper. He
has placed the Monolith in a place of honor, the Temple's rotunda. But at the same time, he's
incorporated a number of scanning devices in the rotunda of the temple to help them better
understand the device. Jack points out a flaw in that it is just a surface scan and ask why they don't
bring it into the lab. Desolas answers by saying that he would like to, but the "evolved" turians won't
allow invasive procedures and that past attempts to pry the artifact from them have only resulted in
more transformations. He continues by saying that the cover is fine for the masses, but it does him
little good as the "evolved" turians can tell him nothing about the artifact, but Harper can. He says
that he realized on Arcturus Station that the relic has changed Harper, and that he took it to Illium to
see if he would follow. Harper seems to have a psychic bond with the device that transcends distance
and in what he overheard of his and Eva's conversation, confirms it. Rannoch Infiltrators can
specialize as Commandos to maximize offensive capabilities or as Operatives to make the most of
their own tech abilities and any other tech squadmates, too. That being said, this can still be a
difficult franchise to follow, due in part to its expansive lore that, again, spans millions of years and
plot twist upon plot twist. But fear not, citizen, because this is Commander Shepard's favorite Mass
Effect timeline on the Citadel! Much of Mass Effect’s story and lore comes from the hours of
conversations you’ll have with dozens of characters. Your Shepard’s history plays a part in how you
navigate discussions and where your point of view comes from. “The chances of surviving are…
slim.” — Spoilers for Mass Effect 2 follow. Finally able to trust him, Kahlee makes a confession to
Anderson. She knows who the traitor was at Sidon—Dr. Qian himself. Anderson is skeptical, but
Kahlee explains Dr. Qian was studying something new, an alien artifact that might even pre-date the
Protheans. After he started studying it in earnest, Dr. Qian's interest turned into a dangerous
obsession. She thinks Dr. Qian is working with Had'dah. Ambassador Goyle tells this to the Council
as a show of good faith, and they decide to send Saren after Had'dah—Goyle asks for Anderson to
be involved, as a possible Spectre candidate. Meanwhile, Kahlee is to be smuggled off Camala by
Alliance marines. But Saren, knowing Had'dah is hunting Kahlee, sees this as a perfect opportunity
to lure out the batarian, and leaks word to Had'dah's contacts. Skarr and the Blue Suns ambush the
marines, destroy the SSV Iwo Jima, and capture Kahlee to help Dr. Qian's research. East of star and

With weapons that fire piercing shots, the canopy is a double hit area. When piercing ammo

the races who opposed them were actually stronger than the Protheans, then they would take the
Protheans' place as the galaxy's dominant civilization. It was in keeping with their belief that
evolution, or the 'Cosmic Imperative' as they termed it, was the driving force in the universe and that
the strong must flourish by dominating the weak for the greater good of all. Using manual targeting
of squadmate abilities also has the tactical benefit of being able to call on allied powers while
keeping them safely behind cover. 2149 CE - Using the Prothean technology, it is discovered that
Pluto's moon, Charon, is actually a mass relay. Jon Grissom leads the first team of human explorers
through the relay and land on Arcturus, 36 light-years away. The discovery leads to the 18 biggest
nations on Earth to form the Systems Alliance. Vanguard can specialize as Shock Trooper for
increasing defense and enabling more attack options or Nemesis for honing in on biotic attack.
Revisit all the cool things that happened before that infamous ending. Aria T'Loak is clearly an avid
gamer and fierce competitor, as shown by her holding the high scores in the Armax Arsenal Arena
and Shattered Eezo at Castle Arcade on the Silversun Strip prior to Commander Shepard's visit. Aria
is also mentioned in a prerecorded story by Mordin Solus, who includes it on a datapad he may leave
for Shepard. Recounting the tale in the style of a film noir movie, Mordin mentions having
previously been employed by Aria to deal with a krogan rival, a job which eventually ended with an
explosive sexual encounter before narrowly escaping an attempt by Aria to kill him. Mass

stairs from where their ship landed, he says that the turians present have come back from the field of
battle with honor and that their faith and their fighting spirit, has transformed them. On Shanxi,
Desolas says that he was chosen by them to help them in their mission, or Holy Quest, to return to
Palaven, to reopen the temple, and to share the wisdom of the ages with the turian people. Desolas
then says that like his brothers, the "priests", while they lead them to war, now promote peace. He
finishes by saying that he will join them in the temple where in the past, they will find a great future
for the turian people. While the people cheer, Jack, hidden by the guards, "priests", and Eva,
comments about how Desolas knows how to put on a show and how he dresses his mutants for
maximum effect. Eva, alongside Jack, says that Desolas is definitely bucking for something, as he
didn't parade them in front of the crowd in chains. Jack counters by saying the Council wouldn't
approve, and neither would the turian leaders. Jack continues by saying that he wouldn't be surprised
if Desolas became a turian leader himself. Finally, Harper concludes by saying that he is a military
man that found religion, at the time he finds a device that creates super soldiers, and that it might
work, if everyone plays along with the ruse. Rannadril Dr.Pepper Promotion Archer will tell you that
the VI has fortified itself in Atlas Station, and you need to override it from the facilities at
Prometheus and Vulcan stations. Archer will explain that the lockdown procedure was in case of an
emergency, and all three mission heads are required to override it. Archer will explain the override
procedure, however since he is the only one left, he tells Shepard that the other two need to be done
manually. Once he is done explaining, Shepard asks what if they need to terminate Archer’s brother;
he hopes it won’t come to that. By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy

squad have access to. The abilities have varying effects and recharge times, so use them wisely. When
selecting squadmates, it is recommended that to try and keep a balanced squad of combat, tech, and
biotic strength. However, each mission or assignment will be different, so plan accordingly. When it
comes to squadmate equipment, keep in mind that while squadmates don't do as much weapon
damage as Shepard, squadmates are still powerful and can save Shepard's life on the battlefield; they
are also able to continue fighting in situations where Shepard has been knocked down or otherwise
hampered. There should be no stigma attached, for example, to giving Ashley a better assault rifle
than Shepard, especially if Shepard is untrained in using assault rifles. Community content is

Effect Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. Perhaps the single most advanced piece of
technology developed by the Protheans was the Conduit, a miniature, prototype mass relay designed
to
reach the Citadel from Ilos. This was a feat unequaled by any known contemporary or precedent
race; given the complexity of the relays and other Reaper technology, reverse-engineering a mass
relay is believed to be extremely difficult. Infiltrators can specialize as Commandos to maximize
offensive capabilities or as Operatives to make the most of their own tech abilities and any other
tech squadmates, too. Mordin survives with massive facial injuries and a missing right cranial horn,
rescued by Captain Chaleen. The assistant also survives and limps back with the other two to the
shuttle. The krogan female was torn apart from the explosion and impaled at the head. The assistant
questions Mordin about his dialogue with the female, and begins to doubt if they're still doing the
right thing. Mordin could only remain steadfast in his convictions. Their reconaissance revealed only

them further. The two share status reports, but Keiji abruptly screams over the comm, causing
Kasumi to panic and seek him out. Keiji is stabbed in the head by Hock himself, forcibly extracting
his graybox before leaving him to his fate. 6,667 discounted. Meanwhile, Nihlus is surprised to see

Arterius, a fellow Spectre, at the train platform. Saren tells Nihlus he's got everything under control,
but
when Nihlus turns his back, Saren kills him and leaves, ordering the geth to destroy the colony with
explosives. He approaches the Prothean Beacon, which reacts by lifting him off the ground. Biotic
ability is either exceedingly rare or nonexistent in the Andromeda galaxy, even in the Heleus Cluster
where eezo exists in abundance. Neither the angara nor the kett, the two living intelligent species
encountered so far in Andromeda, possessed any biotics or knowledge of it prior to the arrival of the
Andromeda Initiative. After discovering that asari prisoners could naturally manipulate gravity, the
kett occupying the Heleus Cluster made adding biotics into their genome a priority. No kett currently
exhibit biotic abilities, but their research notes show they are making progress. - If Shepard destroys
the
Reapers, Admiral Hackett tells how life in the galaxy will rebuild and persevere. Rasa infiltrates the
Citadel in disguise. She is able to get a head start on Wrex due to the krogan being waylaid by C-
Sec, who suspect he's carrying contraband. Leng tells her over the radio that he would've dealt with
Wrex instead of delaying him but Rasa smugly reminds him that's why she's on the mission and he's
not. As she takes a cab to the 700 Block, Kell Residences, Leng asks what if the krogan arrives
before her. Rasa vaguely hints that he won't. 2155 CE- Jeff "Joker" Moreau is born. The year is 2183.
An injured Tali'Zorah nar Rayya limps her way into a clinic on the Citadel, calling for help but
receiving no assistance in return. She collapses at the hands of a doctor, musing to herself how her
Pilgrimage had gone horribly wrong. Aboard Saren's transport, Jack is once again strapped into an
interrogation chair. Jack assumes that he will be studied and if the turians were to let him go, he'll
show them what a human is really made of. Desolas counters by saying they know all they need to
know about human biology from studying the human corpses on Shanxi, but that's not what they are
interested in. Desolas continues by saying that it is Jack himself they are interested in now. Harper
then says that if that's true, then he asks them to release Eva. Desolas refuses and explains that they
need Eva as a baseline to understand what is different about Jack. Desolas then points at Ben and
says he is different, and that Harper was affected by the artifact, like Ben, but Jack is very unlike
Ben, so he is curious why. Eva, now awake, tells Desolas that it was because of something he did and
that
he's the one who turned Ben into a monster. Desolas says that he has done nothing, and then asks
Ben to speak for himself, while he still can. Later, as Desolas is back on his feet, Saren tries to
communicate with him. Desolas asks where he is, and he says right behind him, although it is merely
a
communications device. He tells Desolas that he is calling from a safe distance and that he is sorry
that
he can’t be there, but Desolas will understand in a minute. Desolas says that he doesn’t understand
much of anything as he feels his mind going. Saren tells him that this is how it works. Saren says that
he doesn’t know why he wasn’t affected, but guesses it had something to do with indirect contact.
Saren
continues that no matter the reason, he had to act while Desolas was still inside with the “meta-
turians” and the Monoliths to protect the turian people, as he would have wanted. Confused, Desolas
asks Saren what he is talking about. Saren answers by saying again that he is sorry but he has a duty
to
Palaven, like him, but some secrets were meant to stay buried, until the turians were ready to
understand them. Saren tells Desolas that he will mourn him, and avenge him. Just then the temple
explodes in a fireball with crowds of cheering turians in the foreground.

ground for ExoGeni to study its abilities. Shepard disables the force fields that the geth have set up
by
knocking the geth dropship off the headquarters and returns to the Skyway group. Jeong has

Jack says that it is his to give and says that he thought it would cheer Eva up. As the two start

Jack counters that they, and he, can't wait any longer. He mentions that he has been having visions
and
headaches since he woke up. Eva asks about what and Jack says it was about darkness, the future,
and
that
it is all tied to that artifact. He mentions that is why he is going, to figure out what is going on. Eva,
however, asks where they can go, as they don't know where it was taken. She says that they could
have

Although Reapers will eventually reach higher speed than the Normandy, their initial movements are

suggested that you conduct a mission while Reapers are in your system. Note that sending a
scanning pulse will momentarily decrease your speed slightly. For the next 50,000 years, the
Collectors would periodically travel to the Terminus Systems and make efforts to acquire seemingly

exchange for their advanced technology. Whether the Collectors were always acting as directed by
the
Reapers during this time is unknown and the reasons for these transactions were never revealed by
the

finally reach the Citadel, the human councilor insisting that Earth is being attacked the most and
therefore need more help, the Council suggests using Earth as a distraction while the other species
regroup and build their own defenses. To make matters worse, they also seem skeptical of Shepard's
idea of building the Prothean device, because if it worked then the Protheans would still be alive.
Liara explains that there is a missing component to building the Prothean weapon, and they have to
find it. Shortly after, Shepard is assigned a mission to rescue the Turian councilor from a moon of
Palaven being attacked by the Reapers to gain an ally in an incoming war summit that will decide the
use of the Council forces. - As they exit the facility, the Normandy crew is attacked by Geth forces
led by Saren, who Shepard discovers is being indoctrinated by the Reapers. With no time left, and
both Kaidan and Ashley in trouble, Shepard is forced to choose between his two hot human
companions. Only one makes it back to the Normandy. Infiltrators fuse Soldier power with Tech
ingenuity, switching between short and long-range combat while stunning and disabling foes in the
process. Almost any talent combination is effective. Use Shotgun, Sniper, and Tactical Armor for a
robust offensive Infiltrator, or Sniper, Electronics (for Damping), and Decryption (for Sabotage) to
incapacitate enemies before picking them off. Khar'shan

outside Temple Palaven holding torches, waiting to enter. Meanwhile, Jack Harper pleads with Saren
to listen to him. Harper says that Desolas doesn’t know what he has, but he does. He tells Saren not
to let the other turians into the temple, but Saren remarks that Jack has seen what Desolas wanted
him to see and says to put him with the other one, rather than back into the observation room. As
Jack is led out, he tries one last time to convince Saren to not go through with what Desolas has
planned, but Saren refuses to listen. Saren just stares as Jack is being led away; for him, being the
brother of a famous general may be the path to career success, but he has never followed in the
footsteps of others. Saren earned his coveted spot on Desolas’ staff by himself. His colleagues
continually stated that there wasn’t a situation that he’s encountered that he couldn’t handle. Little
did Saren realize that he would find one, working for his brother. The Normandy's crash site is
available automatically from the Cerberus Network as free DLC. When the DLC is installed, after

With Squad Orders, you can tell your squad who to attack or where to position themselves. You can
control the location and ability of your teammates, issuing commands to move your squad around
the battlefield, and deciding which weapons and skills they use. Non-standard interior wiring, Once
the choice has been made, Shepard brings reinforcements in, only to be confronted by Saren. He tries
to make the commander join his cause but Shepard refuses, fighting Saren off. Saren gets away and
the team board the Normandy, escaping Virmire as the nuke destroys the facility, killing either
Kaidan or Ashley depending on Shepard's decisions. Artificial muscle fibers controlled by the
Kestrel armor system's central processor allow for both gross motor movements and precision
support of the hands. This steadies aim in a manner compatible with most firearm autotargeting
systems. Additional capacitors for shield generation are installed on the ulnar side of the forearm.
One of the biggest changes from Mass Effect to Mass Effect 2 is the size of the squad to select from:
it effectively doubles from 6 to 12 if all DLC or Legendary Edition is installed, otherwise it is 10.
This allows more options, but unlike in Mass Effect, some squadmates will be required on certain
missions. “The chances of surviving are… slim.” — Spoilers for Mass Effect 2 follow. Later at
General Williams's headquarters, Williams tells Jack that the Alliance is withdrawing to Arcturus
Station because no one has the will to fight the turians anymore. Jack counters that his group, and
Williams, still have the will to fight and will fight. Williams then says that Jack is the only one who
can figure out what the turians are doing. Jack says that they are going into places that were never
settled, or have been abandoned for a while. The turians are conducing search patterns, looking for
something, but Alliance Command says that there is nothing they have found, but since the turians
are still looking, then there must be something. Jack says that they can finish the job in twenty hours,
and Eva requests the APC out front. Engineers are Mass Effect’s support class, and almost every
talent is worth investing in. Basic Armor is a necessity since the Engineer has low defense.
Electronics unlocks Overload, which damages enemy shields. Hacking is worth a few points to
reduce cooldown, and Damping increases tech mine power, while Decryption deactivates enemy
weapons and strengthens your tech mines. In Mass Effect 3, when not on any mission, Shepard can

antipersonnel machine guns and ability to shrug off damage from anything short of a heavy weapon
makes it a fearsome opponent. Heavy loss of life is to be expected in any unprepared encounter with
this unit. Saren tells Desolas that he is worried about where his “bugs” have been burrowing and that
he came to tell him something. Saren says that some have been rooting around in the lower levels of
the temple clearing the rubble from the collapsed levels. Desolas just responds with a “[s]o?” He tries
to calm Saren by reminding him that the “meta-turians” worship the Monolith and just want to
improve its resting place. He says that if Saren wants to chase a mirage, he is free to do so as Desolas
has more important issues to attend. Unsatisfied with his brother's input, Saren says “right”, then
turns and walks out. The beacons and the Eletania ruins suggest that, like the asari, the Protheans
were comfortable with the notion of transferring data to an individual's mind. They invested heavily
in their scientific research, a policy that eventually paid off, if too late to save their own species. To

Prothean vision is now complete. During the debrief, Liara touches Shepard's mind to interpret it
fully. The vision was a distress call intended to warn the Protheans about the Reapers. Liara realises
that the landmarks in the vision are on Ilos, a planet she has studied as part of her Prothean research.
Ilos had been impossible to reach because it was only accessible through the Mu Relay, which is why
Saren needed the Relay's location from Noveria. After the debrief, Joker has a message for Shepard
from the Council: they're putting together a massive multi-species effort to face Saren. The next
wave includes a Geth Destroyer - don't let it get close with that flamethrower thing. There is no
difference in the number of enemies whether you go left or right, although the Rocket Troopers in
one of the later waves like to get up on the staircase/ramps and shoot down at you so keep that in
mind when picking your cover. Keep watching your flanks as the geth severely outnumber you and
keep moving around to your flanks. Keep to cover as much as you can, and keep destroying geth.
FANDOM APPS Like in Mass Effect 2, squadmates still suffer a damage penalty with weapons, but
squadmates still don't suffer from recoil, meaning that squadmates can equip weapons with piercing
and damage increasing mods rather than worrying about recoil or stability mods. Squadmate
accuracy does appear to be improved by taking cover, but scope mods on weapons do not appear to
have any effect. 8,000 credits. Legendary Edition: North of Illium, just above the third ring
When the Reapers last attacked about 50,000 years ago, their genocide of the Protheans lasted for
centuries. Ilos' personnel hid in cryogenic stasis, watched over by Vigil. However, as his energy
reserves ran low, he followed a contingency plan by shutting off pods of non-essential personnel to
conserve energy, hoping that when the time was right, he could safely open the pods. In the end,
Vigil managed to save a dozen scientists. The few remaining Protheans on Ilos traveled to the Citadel
through the Conduit—a small prototype mass relay, built by the Protheans, enabling a one-way link
from Ilos to the Relay Monument in Citadel Presidium. The survivors altered the signal that the
keepers respond to and prevented them from activating the relay to dark space. Thessia Dual layer

way your ship faces before entering: the Normandy will enter the system at such a point that the
ship's FRONT will face towards the CENTRAL STAR, and the ship will be facing the same
direction it does on the cluster map. This can be used to great advantage if you know about a point
of interest near the edge of the star system - fly out of the system (to the cluster map), and with a
tiny engine burst, orient yourself in the appropriate direction. When you click on "Enter system", you
will be near the point of interest and can retrieve it before Reapers even reappear. Gateway Personal

and the leader of the Salarian Union. Wrex (or his brother Wreav if he died) shows no interest in
aiding the Turians, since the Reapers are moving on the Krogan homeworld of Tuchanka, and refuses
to help until a cure is created for the genophage. The Salarian leader is reluctantly convinced to
reveal details of a Salarian base where Mordin Solus' former student has managed to cure the
genophage on infestile Krogan females. 48,000 BCE - Though they knew of the Reapers' existence
and had begun preparations to fend off against them, the Protheans are caught off-guard by the
massive army of Reapers that arrive to the Milky Way through the Citadel. Having united the empire
under the Prothean culture, the Reapers easily toppled the ruling body first, causing the rest of the
empire to slowly crumble over the next couple of centuries, where the Protheans are methodically
wiped out. As they are walking, Desolas explains that while they can’t find the mechanism that binds
the “priests” to the Monolith, they know enough to say they are bound to it. He remarks that the
bond is strong, transcendental, and because of it, the “priests” will do anything and everything to
protect it; and if he brings others to it, they will do anything and everything for him. Jack then cuts
in, telling Desolas there is something that he needs to know. Jack has just figured out the truth about
the Monolith himself. However, Desolas dismisses it by saying that the time for the truth is in the
past, and tells Jack to behold the future. He tells Jack to imagine a legion of perfect turians. They are
physically perfect, never need to rest, and they will never yield. He finishes by saying that the time
for equality among races is now in the past and that destiny is at hand. And it begins tonight ...
November 7, 2023 - Mass Effect fans and devs use N7 day to send a message to BioWare following
layoffs. If you’re wondering which Mass Effect class to choose and how to best create your Shepard,
you’re in the right place. The Mass Effect trilogy is an epic space saga focused on Commander
Shepard and their (hopefully) loyal squadmates’ war against the Reaper threat. Intricacy and choice
drive the trilogy, and while figuring out how the games work is part of the experience, it can be
overwhelming at first. With graphical enhancements, combat and UI improvements, additional
character customization options, and more, a lot of attention has been paid to the first game in the
series. Released in 2007, there's still a nostalgic charm to the classic RPG that started it all, but it's
hard to ignore how dated Mass Effect feels by today's standards. From all of the changes and
improvements detailed so far when it comes to the first game, there's plenty to get excited about, but
what's most apparent is just how BioWare seems to balance bringing the original Mass Effect more in
line with Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, while still maintaining the classic parts of the game's
DNA that fans remember.
If you want to master every available weapon in the game, play as a Soldier. They can use heavy
armor, which allows them to storm into battle with great protection while mixing up close, medium,

Technology Aegis Pack Vigil unveils a startling revelation. The Citadel is actually a trap; a huge mass
relay linking to dark space, outside of the galaxy, where the Reapers are waiting. The keepers are
presumed to be one of the earliest races to be indoctrinated by the Reapers, who set them the task of
maintaining the Citadel and activating the Citadel Relay when Sovereign signals them. It is also
revealed that Sovereign is the vanguard of the Reapers. After every Reaper attack, they leave behind
one of their kind to act as a vanguard and to monitor the development of the galaxy's races. Once the
galaxy's races are sufficiently advanced, the vanguard will activate the Citadel Relay and usher in the
next genocide. ANALYSIS: November 7, 2023 - Bioware is Teasing the Next Mass Effect With

trigger, and he lunges at her, despite Jack telling him not to, and knocks Eva into a wall, leaving a lot
of blood around her head. Ben falls to the ground asking what he just did, and Desolas enters telling
him exactly what he was supposed to, protect the Monolith, and that he may be the only person here
who does what he is told. Desolas then turns to Saren, who also enters the room, and shows his
amazement toward this technology. Eva’s shots didn’t even scratch the Monolith and it probably
would have taken an orbital bombardment to do that. Saren tells Desolas that they have to get out of
there as the temple isn’t secure and that he’s called outside help. Before he can finish, Desolas tells
him that it’s nonsense as they are pacifying the “meta-turians” and tells Saren to recall the outside
forces. He continues by saying that he can still be successful; he just needs to adjust the experiment.
In one of the lower levels, two guards are leading Jack to a cell, who is still pleading with them to
take him back to Desolas before it is too late. The guards, however, say that Desolas has had enough
of him, and so have they. Just then Eva drops from the top of the cell, connecting with both feet on
the head of one of the turians. She then knocks the gun out of the hand of the other, and then
knocks him out, while Jack lands a punch on the first one, knocking him out. As they grab the
guard’s guns, Eva tells Jack that it was nice of him to show up as she’s been waiting to do that for
days. She then asks where Ben is and Jack says that he doubts he is in the room with the Monolith,
but he did see some “priests” down the hall. Southwest of the Mass Relay, between the fifth and
sixth ring Enraged at Nyreen's loss, Aria charges the Cerberus troops guarding Afterlife, unleashing

Shepard wipe out all the remaining Cerberus troops and Adjutants in Afterlife. In the hanger, Eva
asks why the General is giving them his shuttle. Jack says that it is his to give and says that he
thought it would cheer Eva up. As the two start climbing the boarding ramp, Eva is mentioning that
he hasn't flown something half as nice when Jack collapses on the ramp. Eva rushes to his side and
says that she know it was too soon to go anywhere. Jack counters that they, and he, can't wait any
longer. He mentions that he has been having visions and headaches since he woke up. Eva asks about
what and Jack says it was about darkness, the future, and that it is all tied to that artifact. He
mentions that is why he is going, to figure out what is going on. Eva, however, asks where they can
go, as they don't know where it was taken. She says that they could have taken to Palaven, but they
can't go there now. Jack then counters by telling her that they have to go to Illium. A unique attribute
of Prothean physiology is an experiential exchange system based on physical touch. By touching
something or someone, a Prothean could recall its experiences. This system can transfer complex
ideas, with a Prothean being capable of learning a new skill or foreign language with a single touch.
This sensory mechanism arose because the Protheans evolved as hunters and needed to be
thoroughly aware of their environment. This is similar to the idea of psychometry. Rodam
Expeditions Some non-sapient creatures have been known to develop biotic abilities. The amount of
element zero in Thessia's environment has given rise to many species beyond the asari that display
biotic abilities. These include both native species such as the manal as well as non-native species
such as varren. Biotic abilities in varren make them short-tempered, often leading to their abuse and
abandonment. Among these are Eezo, a biotic varren owned by Jack. A similar situation has occurred
on Eingana, where eezo contamination from derelict warships caused many native animal species to
develop biotic powers. Biotic ability has also been observed in the kirik, an insectoid species from
the planet Ekram. Completing side quests and exploring planets also contributes to your Effective
Military Strength, the score that determines your Mass Effect 3 ending, and speaking with your
