Only 300? His bones must be helium. Someone in the 6-7 foot range wearing armor should be closer to 400-500 pounds at least. Remember: as size squares, volume cubes. Meaning the weight difference between someone who's 5'5" and someone who's 6'5" is actually pretty drastic.

Weight also depends on the size of the frame. I once weighed less at 6'2" than I did at 6'0".

And last I checked turians are descended from birds, or at least have avian ancestors, so turian bones may very well be partially hollow. Add to that the very stark difference in technology between today and 2183 and I can totally believe Garrus is only barely breaking 300 lbs fully armored.

...See what the between-chapter wait does to us, Stryp?
Ah well, at least we're not going as hiatus-induced crazy as the RWBY fans are. I frequent a RWBY thread on SB, and a lot of them are very slowly going nuts as the wait eats at them more and more...

I gave you lunatics an 3000 word update three days ago. 3000 words! Sweet tapdancing Jeebus, have some patience!

~pant, pant~

I've already blocked out the next 12 scenes. I spent my 'day off' yesterday doing the write-up for Kyoko and trying to salvage things in the Shinji Ikari Raising Project Quest. Asuka is seriously behind in the Baka Stakes, and Rei just declared she's going to unleash 'emotional blitzkrieg' on Shinji, with kisses.

On this front, Asuka's going to have a bit of a collapse, but she's got people to catch her this time. Rei's going to have a very uncomfortable moment, and go take it out on a deserving target. This may lead to things she didn't expect. This is all dependent on me having time to write, however. Work is busy. Many bad guys to blow up.

To reassure everyone, this post does not indicate I'm really angry or anything. This is mostly comedic ranting. But do keep the off-topic to a dull roar. This is not a GreggHL fic, and it's unlikely the ME cast will drop in. A&T has plenty of things to speculate about on its own: Yui's sanity, Kaworu's intentions, and hey, remember when Gendo ordered increased Section 2 surveillance of the Fifth Child?

Don't listen to the crazies, Stryp. If they are so starved for fanfiction, they can try constantly churning out words themselves. :p

Yeah, well, you try being ~bedridden for two months and see what it does to your supply of fanfiction. I need every word i can get. It's ridiculous.

Also what would happen if Third Impact started just as the Reapers started attacking Earth?

Harbi: So... you just liquified everyone?
Rei: Yes.
Harbi: So that the human race can live on in some other form?
Rei: Yes.
bHarbi: I can't put my tentacle on it, but that sounds somehow familiar...

My guess is that Kelly, Tali and ME1!Liara would be the first to form connections with the children initially,

Don't forget Kasumi. Yes, those are definitely the "softies" among the squad/crew. Well, Tali to a degree. She can actually be somewhat harsh and definitely self-certain in ME 1; it's just compared to the squad in ME 2, well...

Hm, Liara. I wonder if a mindmeld would count as an AT-Field breakthrough...

As if asari weren't OP enough already ;)

I think we're forgetting something. Samara would see Asuka with all her problems and get reminded of where anger lead one of her daughters. She'd probably be likely to take a mentor standpoint with Asuka helping her to focus her anger until it relationship escalated from a mentor/student into a mother/daughter one (imagine Asuka timidly hugging and referring to Samara as 'Mama' and try not to daww. I dare ya.)

Hm. Samara. A justicar. Probably not bound to an oath to Shepard in this scenario.

Gendo is so, so dead.

If an Eva is built pretty much from scratch, having eezo nodes built-in from the start wouldn't be especially challenging. :p

And where would GEHIRN find the element zero necessary for that? :p

In Mass Effect 3, you enter the Geth Consensus and see a geth unit pick up the sniper rifle you can give Legion in ME2. It is very heavily implied that at least some of his runtimes fought in the Morning War.

Well, sure, at least some of the runtimes have. But there might have been new ones created in the meanwhile.

(also: Geth War. Morning War is a geth propaganda term! :p )

Wait. Blitzkrieg against the German? That's not how it's supposed to happen!

*nonetheless gets out blue fan flag and waves* :p

No, actually, need to look that up again.

Oh, and we still don't know what person Ritsuko called, do we? My money's on Kaji. The next day, Ritsuko can release Hiraki from the quarantine. Who better to covertly arrange matters than the resident triple agent? Also, the only one who would answer "Your apartment?" and then just go there, I think. Hm, maybe Misato as well, but we have too many PoVs from Misato for that to be the case.

I decide not to check SV for a couple days, miss two chapters, and then get suckerpunched with feels.

Why do I bother with this thread?

Asuka raising project?
Hmmm.... I can definitely use a sea of dirac plot point.... every chapter a new "parent" for a other Asuka.... end it in a Crisis of Infinite Asuka's type event?
Dammit I already have a story in the works! Why did you have to drop this plot bunny on me!

I prefer the idea of Gendo getting arrested by Garrus...

"Ikari Gendo, I am arresting you for attempted ecocide in contravention of Article 4 of the Citadel Conventions, parental neglect under Section 14.6 of the Hierarchy Criminal Code, and ugly facial hair in contravention of my personal taste. You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say will be taken down in evidence and altered into a confession."

"What is the meaning of this!?"

"Means you're fucking nicked, sunshine. Take him away, Bubin."

"Insincere Warning: Mind Your Head."

"OW!!!"

"Feigned Concern: I Told You To Mind Your Head."

That was beautiful. I will now entertain myself imagining such a scene playing out...

Wait a minute, how would Garrus be able to arrest him? He'd be too busy doing "calibrations" on the positron cannon.
 
Naw naw, you must use the superior Mass Effect:Human Revolution.

Adam Jensen and Garrus Vakarian! Multi-verse super cops!
