Mass Effect 2: I’m Fashionably Late—Part One

hullbreachnormandyYou may have been a fan of my last thread, Mass Effect 1: I’m The Last One To The Party. Or perhaps you’re just tuning in. If so, maybe you’d like to check it out so you can watch this lady fall in love with one of the most addictive and popular gaming franchises in existence now. That said, onto rolling out my journey through the next installment! I’m seriously nervous, as I’ve gotten way too attached to some characters, and I don’t know what awaits me. Spoiler alerts galore if you haven’t played the game etc etc.

I had heard that you were able to transfer your character somehow between games, but didn’t quite believe it. Even though that concept is far from the realm of impossible to execute, it was just a little too good to be true as I had become quite attached to Anika Shepard.

As I see my custom avatar load, I’m so thrilled, I literally jump for joy and perhaps even do a small victory dance. Okay, I do, I really do a dance while I receive equally horrified and amused looks from my husband. Level 50 hurrah! She looks the spitting image, yet better, of my Mass Effect 1 image. Graphics on the steady rise I see, excellent.

I’m going to get back around to the whole, Citadel Council official stance, covering up the Reaper attack issue B.S. soon enough. I mean, did I call it or what, I knew they would securely have their heads up their asses sooner than I’d need a haircut. Also, obviously, there’s some ominous figures here stewing, not council, that I’m sure I will meet soon enough.

The intro unfolds, I’m on the Normandy as it drops out of FTL. This has something to do with this BS mission I was sent on to clean up/cover up the rest of the Geth concern. Hmmm, an unidentified vessel on scanners, that can’t mean trouble. Oh great, it’s not Geth. Why can’t we outrun it? Oh dear lord…this doesn’t look good-I’m sure we can just-uh-UH-ITS TEARING THROUGH OUR SHIP LIKE TISSUE PAPER NOOOOOOOOO.

Okay, I just need to calm down, bigger issues at hand than the Normandy itself, ship’s on fire, people are getting deaded all over the place and there’s a gaping hole in the hull open to space above the navigation center. Most everyone seems to be evacuating alright, but I need to go get Joker-the-glass-boned-wonder out of the cockpit.

I make it there through fire, past the giant gap in the hull open to space which is large enough to fit three Makos through (which looks really cool, but also hurts my heart to see in my beloved Normandy) and pick him up, undoubtedly breaking several of his bones in the process, but better broken than dead. He’s even more upset about the Normandy than I am, almost refusing to go but really dude, you gotta survive.

Alright, to the escape pod we go. Damnit! They’re shooting at us again, I mean, guys we’re dead, we are so over with, don’t you think it’s a bit overkill?! Joker is in the pod, but now because of the additional attack, I’m hanging on by a thread and then suddenly I lose my grip and-and-fly into open space-and-….I’m tumbling….grasping at my airmask…my suit is leaking air, if I could just comm a shuttle or maybe…but I’m still falling, and writhing with decompression and…..there are not enough ellipsis to describe my pause.
DID I JUST DIE?!

Really though.

Get ahold of yourself I’m sure it’s just…

Nope, I’m dead.

OH MY GOD I’M DEAD.

They tore my ship apart, and then killed Anika.

Me: “I think…I just died, unless…”
Husband: “No, you definitely just died.”
Me:”But…”
Husband: ::pats my back:: “It’s going to be okay.”
Me: “But…”
Husband: “Do you need a minute? Here, have some wine.”
Me: ::nods silently::

I will end it there for now. Veteran Mass Effect-ors, you know what’s next, waiting for me right around the corner.
