Aria's Advisor (Mass Effect SI)

Reader mode
No, you can't blame her.

But let's be honest, until she opens up, the only reason someone is attracted to her is either physical looks or the mystery she represents.

So if we throw out the physical, Tali is much more attractive than Miranda because of her attitude.

Of course, when we add in the physical, everything changes again. Certain people would prefer Miranda, certain people would prefer Tali. I don't prefer either of them, it just so happens.

I am more of an Ashley guy.
 
If that's the concept asari set off so many uncanny valley alarms it's not funny. psychic chtulloid she devils.
 
Yup... which is why Liselle is trying to tease me with her clothed bottom, so that I don't focus either the skin color or the head-tentacles. Trying to seduce a human with those head-tentacles only ends badly, and Liselle knows that.

We'll see how well it works.
 
And while some human deviants may love that, using that to try to seduce a human is really on a chance, whereas emphasizing the bottom regions is more of a safe bet.

Actually, that might be why more people like Tali.

Hmmm....

    • Uh.... I'mma agree with Thagguy.


    Not sure I wanted this to go there, but... well... whatever gets you going.

    Agreed.

    On the other hand:


    Chapter 5.3 (Snip 4 Part 1)



    "No, I am not coming back to the Flotilla today. Shepard's funeral is tomorrow, and I need to be here for that."

    Anto makes no indication he heard out of politeness, but I slow my pace a little, ambling off our straight-line path, more off to the side of the path. Anto doesn't hesitate in altering his course to follow me, and directs me to a bench, carefully close to the conversation, but just far enough away that we aren't suspicious.

    Personally, I'd wanted to have a bench slightly farther away, but he's probably got more experience in eavesdropping than I do, hence why I let him sit closer to the quarian.

    "Yes, I know that I've been outside of the Fleet for a long time, but this is my last task! Admiral 'Zorah, please, just let me finish this!"

    Tali?

    I turn my fact towards Anto and quirk an eyebrow. Anto replies with a nod, and he leans back, seeming to relax. His fingers twitch slightly as they brush his right gauntlet, and I make sure to make no reaction to the gesture, though my eyes flick up to meet his to confirm that I saw it.

    "Admiral, I will be able to convince your daughter to return to the Flotilla. Trust me, this is my job, after all."

    So… not Tali. Still, a font of information.

    The conversation goes on for another few minutes, until the quarian either hangs up or finally notices that her external speakers are on. She stays for a little while later, though, and Anto suddenly turns to me and asks a few questions about something called smashball.

    "Uh, sorry, I don't really know much about smashball." I say, confused. "I'm more of a hockey or rugby guy."

    "Hockey, eh?" Anto returns, thoughtful as he turns away from the quarian, making all the obvious signs that he is deep in conversation. "So what's your favorite team?"

    "Ah, well, you see, I was raised on the old hockey leagues," I bullshit, finally understanding his goal here. "So while I'll say that I'm an Oilers fan, and I'll root for the Flames occasionally, I'm not even sure if those teams exist anymore. The old, real early twenty-first century seasons were the only ones that I had the chance to see, you know."

    "Don't worry man, I understand. All I ever saw before I got out was select games of the batarian smashball glory days, so that all we saw was the batarians crushing everyone."

    "Damn, so you don't know if they survived?" I reply, feeling a little dejected.

    "I never said that!" Anto chuckles, pointing over to a news-screen that was currently displaying sports results. My eyes shoot over to it, and I give out a satisfied fist-pump when I see that the Oilers are being discussed as the third-best team in the league.

    Fuck yes!

    "Hell, I think the championship game is supposed to be on in a hour or so."

    "What."

    "Yeah. The Oilers aren't playing in it though. It's the Vanouver Canucks versus the Seattle Metropolitans, I think."

    "Seattle has a hockey team?" I gape. It's about FUCKING TIME we got a team!

    "Yeah, though I don't really know anything about hockey, so I can't say how good they are. 'Suppose the fact they're in the finals says something about that."

    "Anto, do you know any good bars around here that will have the game on?" I demand, desperate.

    "As a matter of fact, I do." Anto smirks, as we head off.

    • I just thought of a good way to convince aria about the reapers. THe chipher in sheperds head. It means only she is really capable of understanding prothein beacons.

    What about that Asari on Feros? The one that gave Sheppard the cipher. If Xeno Major finds her then can't they get a copy of the cipher?

    That's probably a good idea, but Aria may not trust anyone enough to do the 'embrace eternity' thing with them.

    Recruit someone who knows no to little about Aria's operations but is willing to help her, or just recruit that Asari.

    Nope, we know of a certain green Asari that at least had it in her mind, who copied it over to Shepard. Point Aria to her, then to the Temple of Athame. ^_^

    That was actually where I was heading. I don't think Liara has the Cipher either. So Nick should be saying 'BTW, there's this Asari on Feros that knows how to understand Protheans thanks to melding with a creature that had a 'Prothean cipher template'. Don't you have these repositories that you can't get everything out of because you don't fully understand it?'

    Get Liara to get/use the Cipher on the Martian researchers and the Asari homeworld prothean experts.
     
    The Asari on Feros is only resisting her indoctrination because of the low level telepathy Thorian victims have left over from when it controlled them. I'd say keep her with the colony as much as possible.

    That seems totally made up and counter to canon. Like Nightblade mentioned, if she survived she goes to that main Asari world to try to get cured of her spore problem.

    Regardless, the SI will definitely need the Cipher, it's just too valuable after all...

    This is true. So the very first thing he will probably do when he thinks of the Cypher is to check to see if Benezia's assistant survived. Then get some Asari (any Asari willing, damn it!) to go grab the cypher and start sharing it to the two Prothean archives to dig up information ASAP.
     
    Yeah but she can head to Illium and be fine. It happens in mass effect 2. I never said that the indocturnation wasn't their or that it wasn't being stopped. I was saying she could leave feros.
