With everyone on my ship happy and focused, Jacob giving me bro-hugs, and me getting anxious for the sweet Turian loving, I decide to head to the derelict Reaper and find an IFF that let us go through that scary red relay.
I take Garrus and Thane with me and we start investigating what happened to Cerberus’s science team. Unsurprisingly they all went crazy. And died. Or something. They’re all dead. I wasn’t really expecting to find a survivor. And if I did find one, I’d probably have to kill them for some reason.
We continue through the ship when we are attacked by piles and piles of husks. Goddamn fucking husks. I would say that I wish I could kill every husk ever, but I think I fucking do. I guess I wish it wasn’t such a pain in the ass to do it.
We work our way through the ship when a couple of husks are shot by something that was not me. Uuuh, Garrus? No? Thane? Also no? Well…that’s strange. OOOOH PALLADIUM!
Further into the ship there’s a bunch of those spikes that turn people into husks. Garrus says something like, my people call them Dragon Teeth and I’m a little annoyed that they have a name for something on this ship that the council and a bunch of other people insist doesn’t exist. How did that name come about?
Somewhere on this ship scouring adventure, I find out from Joker that the reaper’s magic effect fields are keeping us from getting back to the Normandy and we need to go blow up the ship’s generator and then get off the ship quick before it plummets into the system’s crappy sun or whatever. We’re suddenly hurrying and panicked about doing this, when I am wondering if we are still going to get that IFF? I didn’t come here just for a fun escape mission, I had a reason for it.
We start working our way towards the ship’s mass effect generator, shooting piles of husks along the way. And the occasional giant scion with their goofy sideways heads. As we enter one room, two husks pop up behind me and are suddenly shot by our mysterious sniper again. We look up and see a Geth, with a sniper rifle in a chunk of N7 armor. He says my name and then darts off like a fucking leprechaun. The hell?
Garrus and Thane seem equally confused but before we can have a discussion about this jesus fucking christ, there’s more goddamn husks to kill.
We’ve almost made it to the generator when I come across the IFF just sitting on a terminal. Well that’s fucking convenient. I thought we were gonna have to find another Reaper and try this all again, but there it is just waiting for me like a little present.
I have no reason to be suspicious!
In the next room is the Geth again and a shit load of husks. He gets uh…”knocked out?” I don’t know what the appropriate term would be. Shut down? Sleep mode? At any rate, we’re stuck shooting all the husks while also trying to shoot the generator. We finally blow it up and are ready to book it back to the Normandy, except that the issue of discussing that Geth is forced upon us. I say let’s take him, because I like anyone that’ll shoot one of these fucking husks. Garrus is, of course, wary and untrusting. It’s so adorable how he worries.
We grab the Geth and hurry off this damn reaper.
Joker pulls the Normandy around to the platform we are sprinting off of. Garrus shoots the husks that are chasing us, while Thane and I heave the Geth towards the ship and he floats right into the airlock.
“OOOH! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT? PERFECT SHOT!”
No one cares though and Garrus and Thane are already leaping into the ship themselves. I guess I’ll jump in there too.
I give the husks the finger as we speed off, and take the Geth to my magic table.
