Glorious Shotgun Princess (ME/Exalted) Thread #2

Also Lytek announced this a year after they started reincarnating in creation again. He'd known about it longer but he wanted to polish up the Exaltations before informing anyone. Chejop Kejak was PISSED.
And let's not forget that when he came to have a word with Lytek about that memo, he found Lytek's office guarded by six Celestial Lions and a pair of Lesser Elemental Dragons who only let him in after an invasive body search.

That probably didn't do anything good for his blood pressure.
 
Put simply, Lytek got payback for the Sidereals manhandling him during the Usurpation. He sent a memo, a full year after the Solar Exaltations returned so he could polish them up and send them out. Every god that Kejak had pissed off in the past few millenia sent a guard to Lytek. Every friend who Lytek- who is a pretty nice guy- contributed to security for him.

Lytek is a bureaucrat. But he's a nice one. And Kejak is an asshole.

Regarding some points made a few pages ago, I actually don't think that Javik will attack Shepard once they meet.

Why? Because at this point, someone (Vessae/Librarian, probably) has given him a crash course in human society, and recent events. Some of those had to have included Shepard, and possibly some footage of her battles. Humans were only in the galactic comunity for about 40-ish years by this point, and if Javik has heard/seen Shepard, he knows that she only Exalted recently.

Therefore, he knows that the Great Curse hasn't kicked in yet, and she is therefore not corrupted.

Granted, it's highly unlikely that everything will be 100% positive between them, but I doubt that their meeting will be the disaster fest everyone envisions.
Shepard's coming to basically take back Eden Prime, though. She's showing up with soldiers, is going to go all glowy, and probably try to intimidate Javik.

Javik will then, as is fitting, punch her through a shuttle. Because one does not get into a dick fighting competition with a Prothean Dawn.

I fully expect the words "just whip it out and compare already!" to be used sometime in the next snippet...or two.
"You all had better duck! Because I'm about to turn left, and I don't want to smack you with my dick!"

Primitives like other, lesser races cannot compete with the sheer sophisticated dickery of prothean power. Even the salarians have not a tenth of the concentrated arrogances of your standard prothean civilian.

Harbinger was careful to remove all traces of it from the Collectors, because frankly? The protheans annoyed the hell out of him.

Yeah, that really doesn't seem like it's in-character for her. This is the same Shepard that talked Saren into killing himself. One look at the Reaper corpses is likely to give Javik some major credit with her, which means that we'll have to wait until another day for "aggressive negotiations". I can also see both Shepard and Garrus being quite pleased to learn what Javik's training charms can do. The militaries of the galaxy are badass already, what do you think they'll be like with Tiger-Warrior supersoldiers?
Yeah. It breaks SoD IMVHO if Shepard doesn't first talks to Javik, then observes him for a bit of time and only then tries to be agressive.
 
The doors to the cockpit open, and Kaidan walks in to find Joker with a bowl of popcorn in his lap and a screen open, hearing the sounds of grunts and yells from the speakers. "Aren't we supposed to be launching soon?"

Joker shushes him, hunched over the screen. "So, you and Liara?"

Kaidan rolls his eyes. "Yes. We're room mates. And yes, you heard about that?"

Joker snickers. "No. Just guessed."

Kaidan rubs the bridge of his nose. He hears more grunts, more yells. "Joker, please tell me you're not watching porn in the cockpit?"

"Better than that." Joker leans to the side, giving Kaidan a view. "The new meat slab got the bright idea of asking Commander Punchsplode to spar with him. Either he's got more balls than Wrex, or he's going to be Chakwas' new favorite. Popcorn!" He tosses a handful back, crunching with a smile. "Get in my mouth now!"
 
Wait..Jane is being thrashed in close combat by Vega!? :eek:
 
EarthScorpion said:
Yes... but dance, I think was in the sense of a "boxer's shuffle" or "wanna dance, pretty boy?".
And here I was hoping it would be more along the lines of "both of you, dance like you want to win". :(

The reapers must be defeated by synchronised dance.
Complete with james screwing up in practice and shepard kicking him. through several walls
He survives because his vital organs have been replaced by solid muscle
I wish I could like this more than once.

They have to be wearing 80's one piece workout suits...it is a requirement for defeating Space Monsters

On Topic: I can't wait to see how well Shep learns to "dance"...and then smack Vega through the Hammerhead.

Sidereals Exalt only when they are destined to, as opposed to the Solars who Exalt in a moment of sheer epic or Lunars who have to survive an impossible situation. In a sense they are pretty much born as Sidereals and unknowingly live with that potential until the moment they Exalt.

However, through out their lives, they find themselves drawn to anything related to their destiny, and in the case of Kal'Reegar being a Chosen of Journeys, that was possibly living a nomadic lifestyle. The brilliant bit is that it is thanks to Quarian Culture that what should have been seen as obvious, especially Kasumi and the SB Readers, it was never picked on. He was right there the entire time in front of everyone, but no one thought about it.

Though now I have to wonder, were the Reegar brought about solely to bring back the Chosen of Journeys?
Or that the Geth Rebellions were engineered to bring about a culture that would bring back the Chosen of Journeys?

Once again, my tendency to misread words has bitten me in the ass. I read Amyana as Ayamani.

So, Shepard's Limit Break might lead to Reeification. Now, think about Rei, with all the powers of a Solar Exalted.

You may now commence screaming/running for your lives.
Just remember to avoid the vents...
 
Let me get my word of god on :3. All of this will be explained in the story.

1. Admiral Leviathan is still alive, and in Creation being a mopey Orca.

2. Shepard and Garrus are not lunar mates. You can tell, as their relationship is still very relaxed, and they have not either a) slept together or b) fought. Jane's Lunar mate is still in Creation. Garrus' Solar mate is still in the ME galaxy. So we could see hot Garrus on Martin Sheen action.

Maybe.

3. Leviathan, the Reaper, is named both from the memories of previous Zeniths- who, lacking Lytek to properly scrub do have memories of Amaya and Leviathan- and also due to the connotation of size. Leviathan is actually Oberashti, the Shogun of Genocide.
