Transcript
00:00Oh
00:30This one serves as our voice.
00:49We cannot sing.
00:54Not in these low spaces.
00:58Your musics are colorless.
01:03We've filled you with enough plasma to pop a tank.
01:07This vessel is at the edge.
01:11Yet she struggles.
01:14You cannot see her magnificence.
01:19We are breathing on the embers.
01:25We are the mother.
01:28We sing for those left behind.
01:32The children you thought silenced.
01:36We are Rachni.
01:39How are you speaking through her?
01:41Our kind sing through touchings of thought.
01:45We pluck the strings and the other understands.
01:50She is weak to urging.
01:52She has colors we have no names for.
01:56But she is ending.
01:58Her music is bittersweet.
02:01It is beautiful.
02:03The children we birthed were stolen from us.
02:07Before they could learn to sing.
02:09They are lost to silence.
02:12End their suffering.
02:14They cannot be saved.
02:16They will only cause harm as they are.
02:21I don't understand.
02:23Why are your children killing people?
02:25These needle men.
02:27They stole our eggs from us.
02:30They sought to turn our children into beasts of war.
02:34Claws with no songs of their own.
02:37Our elders are comfortable with silence.
02:41Children know only fear if no one sings to them.
02:45Fear has shattered their minds.
02:48I understand.
02:50A child left alone in a closet until she is sixteen would not be sane.
02:55If you're sure they can't be saved.
03:00It is lamentable.
03:03But necessary.
03:05Do what you must.
03:08Before you deal with our children.
03:11We stand before you.
03:13What will you sing?
03:15Will you release us?
03:18Are we to fade away once more?
03:22The Ragnar were a threat to the galaxy.
03:25Those tanks are filled with acid.
03:27If she gets out of hand, they dissolve her.
03:29They made a mistake.
03:31They let the Krogan go too far.
03:33This is a chance for us to atone.
03:35She has done nothing to us.
03:37Your companions hear the truth.
03:40You have the power to free us.
03:43Or return our people to the silence of memory.
03:49If I let you live, would you attack other races again?
03:53No.
03:54We...
03:55I...
03:56Do not know what happened in the war.
03:59We only heard discordance.
04:01Songs the color of oily shadows.
04:06We would seek a hidden place to teach our children harmony.
04:11If they understand, perhaps we would return.
04:17Are you a survivor from the war?
04:20A clone?
04:21We do not know.
04:23We were only an egg, hearing mother cry in our dreams.
04:28A tome from space hushed one voice after another.
04:32It forced the singers to resonate with its own sour yellow note.
04:38Then we awoke in this place.
04:41The last echo of those who came out from the singing planet.
04:47The sky is silent.
04:49I won't destroy your entire race.
04:56You'll go free.
04:58You...
04:59Will give us the chance to compose anew?
05:03We will remember.
05:05We will sing of your forgiveness to our children.
05:19Spider-Man 4-3-3-2-1-0-1.
05:43I don't know.
06:13Are you here to secure the situation?
06:40How are you holding up?
06:43You must listen to me.
06:44If we do not contain our mistake, they will drop bombs from the battle stations.
06:49You understand?
06:50You let these things out?
06:53Uh, I am only following the orders.
06:56Binary Helix found an egg.
06:59It was on a derelict ship, thousands of years drifting.
07:02This was Rachni ship.
07:04Inside they find many eggs in cryogenic suspension.
07:08A thousand-year-old egg hatched?
07:11Yes.
07:12Very tough to be so long frozen.
07:15That it survived the centuries.
07:17This is miraculous.
07:18Binary Helix planned to clone Rachni.
07:22Must produce them.
07:24Create an army.
07:25But when they get here, they find this egg is not a common Rachni.
07:29It is a queen.
07:31After she lays eggs, they move her to Rift Station.
07:35They are thinking that without her, they can raise the babies to be obedient.
07:38Hold on.
07:41Don't you need a male to get eggs?
07:43Queens are born carrying the genetic code of their fathers.
07:47Eggs are carried away from the colony to hatch alone.
07:52Queens can lay eggs in hours and have a colony in days.
07:56This is how they spread so quickly.
08:00Separating them from their mother didn't work.
08:04This was exactly the wrong thing to do.
08:06I am thinking that without a queen, Rachni do not develop properly.
08:12Her mind is shaping theirs.
08:14These Rachni are uncontrollable.
08:18This is fascinating, but we don't have time to chat.
08:21These Rachni are beyond saving.
08:23It is a sad thing, but they must be euthanized.
08:28I am thinking that the Neutron Purge must be set off.
08:32I'm not familiar with the Purge system.
08:34It creates bursts of neutron radiation.
08:38Kills everything within the station.
08:40Things beyond get genetic damage a varying degree.
08:44Once the Purge is armed, we'll have to fight our way out.
08:47Give us a minute to patch up and rearm.
08:50Sure, sure.
08:51I wait here.
08:52I am not so much good for searching now, yes?
08:56Ha!
08:57Mother always say I would meet a bad end.
09:00I need information on the Neutron Purge.
09:26The Neutron Purge is a fail-safe system installed within the isolation tube area.
09:32In the event of irretrievable containment loss, it is used to resolve the situation.
09:37Activate the Neutron Purge.
09:39I'm sorry, but I can't do that without proper code authorization.
09:44Who would have the code?
09:46Director of Operations, Yaroslav Tartakovsky, or any executive officer of Binary Helix.
09:52We're moving on.
09:55Logging you out, Commander.
10:06I am feeling not so well.
10:09How do we set off the Purge?
10:12Arming controls are nearby.
10:14All you do is insert the key.
10:17Then I will give Nera this truck...
10:18This truck...
10:28And?
10:33Arggh!
10:33Arggh!
10:35Arggh!
10:44Online. How can I help you?
10:57Activate the neutron purge.
10:59I'm sorry, but I can't do that without proper code authorization.
11:04Code input. 875-020079. Code Omega. Local execution.
11:10Verified. Code Omega execution in 120 seconds.
11:40Code Omega.
12:10Code Omega.
12:40Code Omega.
12:47Code Omega.
12:58What's our next move, Commander? Head for the Mew Relay?
13:02The Mew Relay could link to dozens of systems. Unless we know exactly where Saren's going, we'd just be wasting our time.
13:08The Commander is right. We cannot rush off blind. We still need to learn more about Saren.
13:13Who put you in charge? Did the Commander resign when I wasn't looking?
13:17We're all on the same team here, Williams. She's just trying to help.
13:21Sorry, Commander.
13:22This is a tough mission. We're all on edge. Everyone go get some rest. Brew dismissed.
13:29Novaria report is away, Commander. You want me to patch it through to the Council?
13:34Patch him through, Joker.
13:35I'm setting up the link now, Commander.
13:37Is this report accurate, Commander? You found Rachni on Novaria?
13:40And then release the Queen. Do you have any idea what you've done?
13:44How many generations until they overrun the galaxy?
13:49This Queen is different. She understands why her kind had to be wiped out last time around.
13:55I hope you're right, Shepard. Our children's children will pay the price if you're not.
14:00We'll be waiting for your next report, Commander.
14:14An old lady chegou.
14:16Parkhouse.
14:17On starry
14:31Parkhouse.
