Mass Effect: Glorious Shotgun Princess (ME/Exalted)

That too. Humanity to a Exalted of all other species should be a species that gives the signal that despite not being as advanced as many of them, their is no way in hell humans could have managed to name so many visible objects in their sky after the gods and Gaia! Nothing to as of the fact that pretty everyone of the gods, devas, demons, ghosts, Elementals, and Fair Folk likely have names that can be found in at least one human language, or obeys the grammar and spelling convention of at least one human language. Once it's random chance. Twice, just coincidence. three times, their has to be something going on. Humanity has managed to hit the mark at least over a hundred times on some way.
... or things are being translated.
 
Remember how in Mass Effect nobody actually speaks each others languages and all of it is just being autotranslated by their omnitools?

Remember how omnitools are Eezotech?

Remember how the Reapers have backdoors into all Eezotech?

...oh gods, Autobot made a more competent and powerful version of Discworld's Auditors for the ME setting.:eek:
He doesn't need Auditors. He has The Design. Which is basically "physics, the progammable computer" and it runs the entire galaxy. It's the reason almost all sentient life in the galaxy is compatible with Exaltation, after all, since it is deliberatly manipulating evolution on every world to produce Exaltation-compatible beings.

Oh, right. Don't I feel silly.

...oh gods, Autobot accidentally made a more competent and powerful version of Discworld's Auditors for the ME setting.:eek:

:p
 
Boot jets flare as Jane carries them through the hotel, smashing through floors and glass fixtures. They leave debris and holes in their wake, and glass shards pelt Jane along the back from Morinth's own biotic sphere.

Acceleration ceases momentarily. Jane lets Morinth smash into the ceiling of the hotel room, gathering gold along her fist before punching the asari in the stomach and sending her through the far wall.

On the room's bed, underneath the framed picture of the naked krogan, a turian raises his cup. "Still not what I ordered, but it's got my attention."
 
"Why hello thar! I'm Bobo, Iri's cousin from out east! Who wants coffee?"
 
Soooo, am I (or someone else who ain't so lazy) gonna have to post that one particular Tali video clip for times like this?

Its the Azure hotel, same place where Jane and Vasir had a throwdown and where the same turian got to see Tali take a couple of shots at Wuffle's hole, with the same reaction.

Dude's got patience.
He's got a 'Buy 10, get the 11th free' deal.

Just like Joker.
 
Boot jets flare as Jane carries them through the hotel, smashing through floors and glass fixtures. They leave debris and holes in their wake, and glass shards pelt Jane along the back from Morinth's own biotic sphere.

Acceleration ceases momentarily. Jane lets Morinth smash into the ceiling of the hotel room, gathering gold along her fist before punching the asari in the stomach and sending her through the far wall.

On the room's bed, underneath the framed picture of the naked krogan, a turian raises his cup. "Still not what I ordered, but it's got my attention."

Jane mutters a swear and flies through the hole, fists first and into a wall of crackling blue force before she's hit in the face by a flying bed. Grunting, she headbutts it and smashes it in two, carrying herself through the debris. Stepping through the cloud of broken bed frame, she leaps. Rockets on her elbow flare and she carries herself fist first into Morinth's shield.

The resulting blast clears the room. Walls and ceiling disintegrate, tossed into the air from the shockwave and revealing the open Illium sky. "Just fucking die," Morinth growls. She reaches through the shield, grabbing Jane by the throat, and swings her over her head to slam her face first into the floor.

A pulse of blue sends Jane flying across the room, dragging a trench in the floor where her head was planted. The asari roars. Anything not bolted down lifts off the ground. Windows shatter into sand. The air crackles with electricity as she gathers a bolt of pure force between her hands.

And then her hand explodes. The echo of the gunshot follows the eruption of blood and flesh as she screams, the bolt disappearing, the debris crashing to the ground.

She turns to the open window, just as the figure crosses the distance between the two towers, and a blue armored turian slams his fist into Morinth's face.
 
The turian removes the helmet as Shepard watches Morinth fly through the hole in the wall. As the black faceplate hits the ground, her eyes go wide. The plates around her head shift and retract, retreating into the collar, and she locks eyes with the blue irises of her sudden companion. "Garrus?"

Garrus Vakarian grins, cracking his knuckles and rolling his neck. "Good to see you too, Shepard." His mandibles twitch, as the wall cracks and pulverizes, clouds of torn apart metal and cement rising into the air. "Goto mentioned that we're probably similar about now, except our powers come from different sources. I'll explain later."

The walls give way. Surrounded by a nimbus of blue light, Morinth rises into the air. Abandoned skycars, chunks of wall, panes of glass orbit her. "So," Jane says, "That's a problem."

Garrus grins. His mandibles twitch. "Not a big one, really. It's amazing what they keep on Omega. Did you know that in Upstation Sector, this guy had a Maw?"

There is a shriek. Bursting from the roof of the hotel, a Thresher Maw screams as it flies through the air, slamming into Morinth's shields as her eyes go wide and she yelps, holding back the tentacled beast with the sum total of her power.

Maws are wild beasts. Berserk worms which feed on pray in an orgy of violence. So it is natural that Morinth didn't understand why the beast held still while Shepard ran up its back and punched her in the face.

It's a good thing that SWLiHN is probably going to be unwilling to even go near the pus from Autobot's robocancer, because if she was willing to interface with Reapertech she could probably use those backdoors to hit the entire galaxy with Mind Spider Curse.
 
Just to point out:

Shepard has a specialty.

Ride: Garrus

Well, eventually he's going to get to a high enough essence to eat the Mako, giving Shepard an appropriate mount.
...wait, isn't Auto-kun in the process of turning the Normandy into Neo Yu Shan though? :blinks:

Ok, so how does the manifestation of "Heaven" one rides into battle look like?
 
I couldn't even get on the forums at all yesterday for w/e reason. now back to the fic.

I don't laugh out loud at work too often, as people tend to look at me funny. But when I read the line "this guy had a Maw" I couldn't help myself. I laughed and my boss is like wtf man. I shrugged and then felt slightly nauseated when I read shepards Ride specialty. Damn you gregg...this fic is too good to stop reading though.

*blinks* I did not realize that Lunars can eat inanimate objects to take their forms (called "Heart's Blood" or something, right?), but I cannot say that I am surprised.
