Transcript
00:00I think we're done here
00:30Shepard, come in
00:54Go ahead
00:56Still trying to raise the Primarch
00:58But we've got trouble back here at the main barricade
01:00If the Reapers breach it, we're done
01:03On my way
01:28Just pickin' them up
01:29Maybe I can do three at a time
01:31Woohoo
01:32Okay, come on
01:42Who's next?
01:46They're on the barricade
01:48Like fish in a barrel
02:03That's up
02:04What?
02:05Old human days
02:07Like fish, bait, a barrel
02:10Here
02:10Like fish in a barrel
02:11In a barrel
02:26Holy hell!
02:52What is that thing?
02:54Oh no!
02:56Break it down!
03:24Shepard, Karitha's here.
03:45What's the word on the Primarch?
03:47Still can't get a stable comm link.
03:50Okay, I'm going on foot.
03:52Shepard out.
03:53Garrus, take me to the last place you saw Victus.
04:05How far?
04:07Should be pretty quick, unless we find trouble.
04:09Damn it.
04:29Look at Paladin.
04:30That blaze of orange.
04:33The big one.
04:34That's where I was born.
04:36That's rough.
04:37Still have family there?
04:39My dad.
04:40A sister.
04:42How bad is it?
04:43Three million lost the first day.
04:45Five the second.
04:47How's your military holding up?
04:49Look around.
04:50That should give you some idea.
04:52You're putting up a good fight.
04:53For now.
04:55But how long did it take before the fight's kicked out?
04:58If they'd only listen to your warnings about the Reapers, we might have been ready.
05:03Maybe.
05:04Hard to figure how you prepare for something like this.
05:06Not more back here.
05:31Shit, I hate those things.
05:47That New York is crawling with the creepy bastards?
05:49I never should have left Earth.
05:54It's going to be bad all over.
05:57Leaving the fight just pisses me off.
05:59But you're here asking Victus to do the same thing.
06:02Leave the fight to make nice and some board work.
06:06This summit is the only chance we've got.
06:08None of us speeding the Reapers alone.
06:10Soldier, you okay?
06:21Yes, sir. We'll make it.
06:23Have you seen General Victus?
06:24Half hour ago.
06:25And still.
06:27Okay, good luck.
06:28Yes, sir.
06:34Commander, how many troops in that crash?
06:36Fifty?
06:37Seventy-five?
06:38Not sure.
06:39Sounds right.
06:41Hard to see a beautiful ship like that go down.
06:44Not to mention the men serving on Earth.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:48We should go.
06:50They said the Primark was headed south.
07:05Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
07:09That was a little closer than I'd like.
07:12I'll say.
07:13Hmm.
07:13So, Commander, you really think this summit will work?
07:38I mean, Asari and Salarians?
07:41Where's the Krogan and Batarians?
07:43Where's the meat?
07:44It's not that easy.
07:46The Batarians took the first hit when the Reapers arrived.
07:48Not much left of them.
07:50And the Krogan have never forgiven us for the Gen of the Age.
07:53Right.
07:54The Turians sterilized them.
07:56Salarians came up with it.
07:58And the Krogan hate them both for it.
08:00So they won't be joining us.
08:02Too bad.
08:03I fought with the Krogan.
08:04They're tough sons of bitches.
08:05But they're tough sons of bitches.
08:06So you know that...
08:30You know, you want to make aiki...
08:31That sounds bad.
08:38Okay, double time.
08:40No reapers taking this prime arc from me.
08:42Right behind you.
09:01Move into the compound.
09:05Moving.
09:06Right behind you.
09:31Move into the compound.
10:01Give it everything you've got!
10:31Let's throw the goddamn bastards to their knees!
11:01Let's go!
11:31Let the titans turn him, turn up the heat!
12:01Let the titans turn him, turn up the titans!
12:32General Victus.
12:35Yes?
12:36I'm Commander Shepard of the Normandy.
12:38Ah, Commander. I know who you are.
12:41I can't wait to find out what brings you out here.
12:45Vicarion, where did you go?
12:47Heavy Reaper unit on the right flank.
12:49I believe your exact words were, get that thing the hell off my men.
12:53Appreciate it.
12:57General, you're needed off-planet. I've come to get you.
12:59It will take something beyond important for me to leave my men or my Turian brothers and sisters in their fight.
13:07Fodorian was killed.
13:09You're the new Primarch.
13:11You're needed immediately to chair a summit and represent your people in the fight against the Reapers.
13:15I'm Primarch of Palavan.
13:30Negotiating for the Turian hierarchy.
13:32Yes.
13:37I've spent my whole life in the military.
13:41I'm no diplomat. I hate diplomats.
13:45What makes you think you're not qualified?
13:46I'm not really a by-the-book kind of guy, and I piss people off.
13:52My family's been military since the Unification War.
13:55War is my life. It's in my bones.
13:58But that kind of passion is deceptive.
14:03It makes you seem reckless when you're anything but.
14:07War is your resume.
14:09At a time like this, we need leaders who've been through that hell.
14:12I like that. You're right.
14:14And honestly, uniting these races may take as much strength as facing the Reapers.
14:19See this devastation, Primarch?
14:21Double that for Earth.
14:22I need an alliance. I need the Turian fleet.
14:34Give me a moment to say goodbye to my men.
14:39Without him down here, there's a good chance we lose this moon.
14:43Without him up there, there's a good chance we lose everything.
14:47Look at that.
14:49And they want my opinion on how to stop it?
14:52Failed C-Sec officer, Vigilante, and I'm their expert advisor?
14:57Think you can win this thing, Shepard?
15:00Yeah, I don't know, Garrus.
15:03But I'm sure as hell gonna give it my best shot.
15:06I'm damn sure nobody else can do it.
15:08For whatever it's worth, I'm with you.
15:12Welcome aboard.
15:14Are you ready, Primarch Victus?
15:16One thing.
15:21Commander, I appreciate your need for our fleets, but I can't spare them.
15:26Not while my world is burning.
15:28But if the pressure could be taken off Palavan...
15:32That's a pretty tall order.
15:34We need the Krogan.
15:36I can't see us winning this thing without them.
15:38Get them to help us, and then we can help you.
15:41The Krogan.
15:44Looks like your summit just got a lot more interesting.
15:47The Asari have been down this road before, Commander Shepard.
16:00But, Madam Counselor, let me...
16:02I tried to smooth things over with the Salarian Dalatras.
16:05To say she's upset would be a monumental understatement.
16:09Some of these issues are hundreds of years old.
16:12Time to let go.
16:13Sad to say, but any effort to ally these disparate groups seems doomed to failure.
16:18And I'm sure you understand that we cannot afford to waste time with the Reapers knocking at our door.
16:23This must be my final word.
16:24I'm sorry, but the Asari will not be at your summit.
16:28Our alliance would be stronger with the Krogan.
16:30You need them.
16:31We all do.
16:33I wish you luck, Commander.
16:34Goodbye.
16:39Commander, Admiral Hackett's available on VidCon.
16:43Commander, have you retrieved the Primarch for your summit?
16:49Yes, sir.
16:50But the Asari are staying on the sidelines.
16:53They'll regret that.
16:54The time for unity is now.
16:56The Salarians will be there, though.
16:59You don't sound very optimistic.
17:01We expect the Krogan will be joining us, too.
17:04I see.
17:05Well, then you've got your hands full, Commander.
17:08Was there something else you needed to discuss?
17:10Have you pieced together how the Reapers hit Earth?
17:15It wasn't all that complicated, really.
17:17They surged through the relays and hit Artura's station before we knew what was happening.
17:22From there, it was a short jump to the Sol System.
17:25Earth didn't stand a chance.
17:27Sending us to the Mars Archives was a good call.
17:30Still doesn't make up for the fact that the Reapers nailed us to the Wall.
17:35I sacrificed the entire second fleet to provide cover for the third and the fifth to retreat.
17:41Hell, I've presided over the most devastating military defeat in human history.
17:45How do you see us winning this war, Admiral?
17:50By making you the tip of the spear.
17:52I'm flattered.
17:54But the Normandy's just one ship.
17:56And a fast one.
17:57You can move quickly, hit a target, and leave before the enemy has time to react.
18:02It's an advantage.
18:04But can it win a war?
18:05It's the larger principle that matters.
18:07We'll never defeat the Reapers in a full frontal assault, Shepard.
18:11To battle against Sovereign three years ago took everything we had.
18:14And that was just one Reaper.
18:16I haven't forgotten.
18:18So I'll find their soft spots, avoid them where they're strong, and hit them where they're not.
18:23And when I find gaps in the armor, I'll hammer them with every soldier's ship and bullet we've got.
18:30How long can we keep that up?
18:32As long as it takes.
18:34The reality is, Shepard, everything I'm doing is a delaying action for you.
18:38I'm buying us time, keeping us in the game while you gather what we need for this Prothean device.
18:43So keep at it.
18:46Has your analysis of the Prothean device turned up anything?
18:50The R appears to be right.
18:51It's a weapon of some sort.
18:53A big one.
18:55Beyond that, we really can't say, other than it's going to be a hell of a thing to try and build.
18:59Do you think it's risky?
19:01Building something like this when we don't even know what it does?
19:04To be honest, the thing scares the hell out of me.
19:07But the Rapers have forced our hand.
19:09Two centuries ago, scientists faced the same problem in the Second World War.
19:14They weren't sure what the atomic bomb might do.
19:17Some thought it could even ignite Earth's atmosphere, but they did it anyway.
19:24Any updates on Cerberus?
19:26They're still the wild card here.
19:28Hitting the Archives on Mars suggests they're after the same thing we are.
19:33A way to defeat the Rapers.
19:36It didn't seem as if the Elusive Man was suggesting we appease them.
19:39Not like Saren did.
19:41You'd think we'd be on the same side, now more than ever.
19:44Cerberus has never played by the rules as we know them.
19:46I don't know what their agenda is, but it has nothing to do with humanity's best interests.
19:55The Elusive Man talked about controlling the Rapers.
19:58He seemed to think that's how we win this.
20:01He's wrong.
20:02Dead Rapers are how we win this.
20:03Doesn't mean he won't try.
20:06I saw your report on that Cerberus soldier you found on Mars.
20:10If the Elusive Man is good at one thing, it's finding new ways to subvert science.
20:15It's never worked for him before, and it won't now.
20:19Nothing more, sir.
20:21Keep me posted.
20:22Hack it out.
20:23What do you mean, offline?
20:49I don't know.
20:50She's not responding.
20:51I can't access the AI core diagnostics.
20:53You better get down to Deck 3.
21:04Commander, comm systems are going haywire.
21:07Whatever's happening is centered on Deck 3.
21:10See if you can get to Edie.
21:11I'll check the AI core.
21:23Is everything okay?
21:33That's what I'm going to find out.
21:37Automated systems have the fires contained.
21:39It should be safe to enter.
21:40We'll follow your lead.
21:42Joker, what's that sound?
21:44Fire extinguishers, Commander.
21:45It could be an electrical fire.
21:46Fire extinguishers, or something.
21:54I'm going in.
22:07Edie, talk to me.
22:08Is there a particular topic you wish to discuss, Shepard?
22:29Edie?
22:29Yes.
22:30You're in Dr. Eva's body.
22:35Not all of me, but I have control of it.
22:38It was not a seamless transition.
22:40A transition?
22:44You blacked out on us for a while there.
22:47Correct.
22:48When we brought this unit on board,
22:50I began a background process to search for its information on the Prothean device.
22:55This eventually triggered a trap.
22:57A backup power source and CPU activated,
23:00and the unit attempted physical confrontation.
23:03Fortunately, I was able to gain root access and repurpose it as I saw fit.
23:08During this process, it struggled.
23:11Thus, the fire.
23:13Edie, you need to alert us about incidents like this.
23:16You shouldn't have done this alone.
23:18Bringing the crew up to speed would have been counterproductive.
23:22All attempts to help would have been limited by reaction time.
23:28So if you're in there, are you still in the ship?
23:31I exist primarily within the ship.
23:33For optimal control, this unit should remain within Normandy's broadcast or tight beam range.
23:40Are you planning to take that body somewhere?
23:42Normandy's weaponry is not suited to every combat situation.
23:46This platform could provide limited fire ground support.
23:50You mean you could come with us?
23:52Correct.
23:53This body could accompany you to areas the Normandy cannot reach.
23:57Before we do that,
23:58I need you to guarantee this mech doesn't have any more surprises in it.
24:01Run whatever test you can.
24:05Then we can talk about using it in combat situations.
24:08One moment.
24:09I am running trials.
24:11Complete.
24:12I can send you a full report if you wish.
24:15However,
24:16my first step should be restoring functionality to the Normandy
24:19to reassure the crew that all is normal.
24:22Just don't be surprised if the crew is a little wary of your new body.
24:25It was shooting at them a little while ago.
24:27An excellent point.
24:30I will take it to the bridge.
24:32Joker will also want to see it.
24:36On that we can agree.
24:37On that we can see it.
