[OOC] Mass Effect: Underworld

[PrivateVentures]

@rivaan I think the problem is more that the situation is dire enough to require dangerous explosives, trending in collateral damage. It's not that we don't think Salissa can handle herself, it's that we don't want her to end up being a red stain on the London underground.

[Mega Birb]

Is Sicaria the only one not panicking and/or in serious danger right now?

[MrDidact]

Aegon's doing alright, right now, he's a bit miffed.

Also, technically Aegon said to blow it on his mark. The bombers may or may not decide to wait for Aegon's word.

I think Sam and I had it that the Cannibals and Marauders didn't actually have guns, since there's no reason Cerberus would keep guns in their pens.

[PrivateVentures]

@MrDidact I'll go back and modify that, then. Sorry, I didn't realize that.

However, if I remember correctly, Cannibals have some kind of mounted arm gun, right?

[MrDidact]

@PrivateVentures They do, but we assume Cerberus would have disconnected those.

But for all we know, Maruaders could have picked up rifles from dead Cerbies and Cannibals might be able to regrow their arm cannons if they eat something.

[PrivateVentures]

@MrDidactOkay, so i removed the explicit mention of the Marauders/Cannibals returning fire. It is now up to interpretation.

How Aegon and Anderson see things is basically my only reliable means of understanding the setting, so I'll work on reading those more closely.

@MrDidact

It's a good thing we didn't leave any wounded Cerberus personnel to be devoured by the oncoming horde or anything, right? ^_^

[PrivateVentures]

@Rithy Except for the prisoners that ran off... Oh dear.

[Rithy]

@PrivateVentures

At least they ran in the opposite way of the husks! ^_^
(and towards out reinforcements, perhaps??!)

Well... except the one that didn't get away!

[PrivateVentures]

@Rithy By the way, the "mines-entryway-compound- BLOW 'EM NOW" was quoted from Anderson. Those are just the only parts Ellis could decipher over the noise.

Ellis didn't say that, he just thought it was funny.

Oh, and if anyone is interested in reading/critiquing (please help me) my first drafts, it's all here: Pens and Swords

@PrivateVentures

I knew something was off with that sentence! It's a minor edit, so I fixed it to be something more fitting! xD

@PrivateVentures

ohhh, and what's that?

@Rithy

Two of those Cannibals probably have guns. Blame Sicaria.

@MrDidact
Yes, but this is Cerberus we're talking about. They do everything after several irrational thoughts.

[PrivateVentures]

@Rithy Just a place I'm putting up unfinished first drafts for peer review. I have trouble formulating full endings, so I'm asking RPG for concept help, and more stories.

EDIT: Love the edit. A perfect response to Ellis' creepy laughter.

@PrivateVentures

As of Mass Effect 3, I'd imagine all Cerberus employees'd have to attend a mandatory crash course in Proper Evil Corporate etiquette lead by these guys:

My Hider

[PrivateVentures]

@Rithy Shhh... Cerberus is technically a secret society. Don't give away all our secrets.

[Mega Birb]

@PrivateVentures

Not since Shepard became a whistleblower.

@Mega Birb

"Yes, while the indoctrination of every scientist we had studying the derelict Reaper was unfortunate, we are confident that our plans to have Shepard hand over the Collector base, which does nothing except create living Reapers, is something we will have abolutely no issue controlling...

Can someone please get Husk-Johnson away from the conference room door? I understand that he was still chairman of this committee when he was Reaperfied, but for god's sake, his only input the last three meetings was to try and rip the face off of Stevens."

[Leos Klien]

Let me know if anyone wants to post, otherwise I'll do my own which will detonate the mines sometime later this week.

[MrDidact]

@Leos Klien I think it's safe to assume there will be a barrage of updates.

I will most likely have Aegon react to the situation. He'll want the team to stand their ground as long as possible.

[Rithy]

@Dervish

You'd think Mass Effect villains never learned :P

Saren: "Oh no, Shepard is gaining on me! What do I do? *Frantically shoots multiple civilians*... wait, I should totally just get myself some Reaper IMPLANTS! What's the worst that could happen to my free will?"
Illusive Man: "Oh no, Shepard is gaining on me! What do I do?" *Frantically blows multiple cigarettes* ... wait, I should totally just get myself some Reaper IMPLANTS! What's the worst that could happen to my free will?"
