Part 29 of the walkthrough of Mass Effect 3 for the PC.
Transcript
00:00Who are we to choose who lives or dies? That's not what we do. We help our patients, all of them.
00:09That's a nice sentiment, but it won't help when we run out of supplies. I've seen this happen in combat before.
00:15And we will run out of supplies. Have you seen the projections the administration center made?
00:20I have. The situation is going to get worse. What's your point?
00:23We can't deny the facts. If we prioritize them, some of our patients are in a much better position to survive.
00:30If we take care of them first and ration our supplies, we can save some now and enable ourselves to save more later.
00:37We cannot do that. We swore an oath to help the sick regardless of their economic situations or their places in society.
00:44Who are we to choose who lives or dies? That's not what we do. We help our patients, all of them.
00:49That's a nice sentiment, but it won't help when we run out of supplies. I've seen this happen in combat before.
00:54And we will run out of supplies. Have you seen the projections the administration center made?
01:00We're fighting right now to protect the people you're talking about. If you let these people die, that fight is for nothing.
01:07It's not that simple. If we aren't careful about this now, we'll end up losing everyone.
01:12Then we'll find a way. Look, we have more fortunate patients, right?
01:16Yes. And I hate to say it, but the fortunate ones have far better survival logs.
01:22And more credits. So we ask them for donations. To get more supplies. For those without credits.
01:27What? Are you saying what I think you're saying? That's... You know, that actually might work.
01:34Okay.
01:57Spectre status recognized. Please select a destination. One moment, please.
02:19Now arriving at wards level, purgatory.
02:22Grimmy, you do not understand. The code of the ancients is the collected wisdom of our people.
02:34With overwhelming sadness, it was lost when the Kuna fell.
02:40Without it, we lack the guidance we need.
02:44With certainty, we need the wisdom of our ancestors in these trying times.
02:52How's the head?
02:58Good. Concussion's almost gone.
03:00Good. When I heard you were injured.
03:02That was stupid. I should have ducked when that wall came down.
03:07Something good has come out of all this, though. Got new equipment.
03:10Send me a set of Vortex armor. Man, summoning supplies sure messed that one up.
03:15Oh. I heard those are pretty good.
03:17It's great. I'd only be safer instead of tank.
03:21It's why Vortex gear costs more than I make in a year.
03:23No, the problem is that our people are terrible at making war.
03:36The library and Tasha have a secret attack on the bridge of the Hunters.
03:54The defining war is on the art of battle.
03:56But the Nimbus cluster has already fallen, and our people are here dancing instead of fighting.
04:00Look who's here.
04:13The Blue Suns, Blood Pack, and Eclipse are in my pocket.
04:16I'll send them to war when you're ready for them.
04:19Is there anything on your mind?
04:22Are the Blood Pack falling in line?
04:24With Gryll in charge, we're all systems go.
04:29It's his voice, but my words.
04:32Couldn't have asked for a better puppet.
04:34The Blood Pack have committed 2,000 Vorcha to the cause.
04:38They'll make up the bulk of the army.
04:41Is Darner Vos cooperating with you now?
04:43Getting General Arraka off the Blue Suns' back did the trick.
04:48Vos still thinks he'll be getting me on mine, idiot.
04:51But he's committed his veteran soldiers to me.
04:54In turn, I commit them to you.
04:58What have we gained by having the Eclipse at our disposal?
05:02A ton of mechs and elite troopers for stealth operations.
05:08Sane has turned out to be more mouthful than Jonas Sederis ever was.
05:13My control of the Eclipse runs even deeper than I expected.
05:17You surprised me by taking such agency in the matter.
05:21What exactly have I acquired?
05:24An army that's willing to fight dirty.
05:26To do the things your respectable militaries won't do.
05:29Eclipse mechs and Vorcha legions are excellent candidates for vanguards in any ground offensive.
05:35Well worth the little song and dance I had to perform, I'm sure.
05:41Whatever you say, Arya.
05:43Don't be a stranger.
05:44Ugh, this sucks.
05:56What have you got there?
05:59Duty roster for the students.
06:01It's what I do for fun now.
06:03They've got us spread out across Alliance units.
06:05Reinforcing barriers, modding ammo, that kind of thing.
06:09How are they holding up?
06:11They're fine.
06:12They're not the ones reading duty rosters while on shore leave.
06:16Complaint if you like, but I think military life suits you.
06:19Hey, running back to the Alliance was your lifelong dream, not mine.
06:24Come on, money of combat, free room and board, and people you can depend on.
06:28Yeah, yeah, maybe your little suicide squad taught me something about teamwork.
06:35Speaking of which, thanks.
06:38My guys are handling the support stuff well.
06:41Still see some action, but they're not on the front lines.
06:44They've saved a lot of lives.
06:46It'd be a hell of a lot more fun with you.
06:48You find bigger fights.
06:50But the little shits are useless without me.
06:53I gotta stick with them.
06:55Cause I'm dependable now, apparently.
06:57I blame you for this, Shepard.
07:03Come on.
07:05What?
07:07The duty roster's to win.
07:09Right now, you're on shore leave.
07:21Shepard, everybody knows you can't dance.
07:27I might miss halfway.
07:42Yeah, this place is so clean and squeaks.
07:45Anyhow, thanks for the drink.
07:47But why'd you drag me out of here?
07:49You, uh, still got that machine frame?
07:52Yeah.
07:53Looking for work.
07:54Might as well.
07:56What you got?
07:57What?
07:57I'm curious.
08:07What material is your face made from?
08:09The surface is a flexible biomimetic nanomaterial over a metallic skull.
08:18The skin uses sheer thickening technology to help protect the central processing unit in the head.
08:23If the skin is struck or shot, it solidifies to absorb the impact.
08:28It also is capable of limited self-healing.
08:31What about the hair?
08:32It is of similar construction.
08:34For defense, I have set it to cohere into a solid piece.
08:38However, for infiltration purposes, it can be parted into individual strands.
08:42If it has recently been exposed to water, I generally can't do a thing with it.
08:47Look at this.
09:08All it took was a Cerberus attack on the Citadel to get folks around here to pay attention to the war.
09:13How is this any different from normal?
09:15Can't you see the desperation?
09:18This isn't happy dancing.
09:19This is forget-my-problems dancing.
09:21Look at the arms.
09:22If a guy waves his arms like that, he's worrying about a lot more than looking stupid on the dance floor.
09:27That's surprisingly observant.
09:30I've had time to watch a lot of dancing from the sidelines.
09:33Speaking of which...
09:34Dancing?
09:36Watching from the sidelines.
09:38What do you think about me and Edie?
09:42Why not?
09:43Because I could break a bone just from some light over-the-clothes action?
09:48That's always a risk.
09:49But then so are the Reapers.
09:51Yeah, I wasn't planning on dating Harbinger.
09:54You know what I mean.
09:55If we all ended up dead this time tomorrow, what would you regret?
10:01Getting a shattered pelvis.
10:03And a broken heart.
10:05Such a stupid idea.
10:06If you could be out there right now on the dance floor, would you be waving your arms?
10:12Yeah.
10:13Sounds like you've got bigger things to worry about than looking stupid.
10:17Yeah, guess I do.
10:20Now, if you'll excuse me...
10:22You know what I mean.
10:45Yeah.
10:45Spectre status recognized.
11:12Please select the destination.

12:07Coming up, looting and rioting in the Kevlar Verge, the cause reports of Reiknay, a race that's classified as extinct for millennia.
12:16ANN's war coverage continues with battle space.
12:19Coming up next, from across the Milky Way, visit the Alliance News Network.
12:25The Silicon Council inducted new agents into special tasks and reconnaissance today.
12:29Among the inductees, Lieutenant Commander Ashley Williams, who is now the second human specter, tower insiders say this was a symbol that was meant to placate humans.
12:39Fear Earth could be abandoned in the Galactic War.
12:41A second or private ceremony will soon be held for specters who will operate undercover.
12:46From across the Milky Way, visit the Alliance News Network.
12:59One moment, please.
13:29Now arriving at docking bay E-24. Emergency civilian housing.
13:39The galaxy needs to understand what these refugees have been through. Can't you let me in?
13:45Wait, aren't you Commander Shepard?
13:47Solek Vass, documentary maker.
13:49Please, maybe you can help.
13:50I'm trying to document the stories of the refugees coming to the Citadel.
13:53Their loss, their sacrifices, their moments of bravery.
13:56Something holding you back?
13:58C-Sec won't allow me on the docks.
13:59They said I'd be disruptive.
14:01But you could catch a few quick shots for me.
14:04There are lots of refugees on the rest of the Citadel.
14:07It won't have the same impact as seeing crowds trapped on the docks.
14:10We all need to help each other.
14:12I want this documentary to shock people into action.
14:15Good idea.
14:16The galaxy should see what these refugees have been through.
14:19Thank you, Commander.
14:20That's exactly what I'm hoping for.
14:22If you could just take a few shots with your Omni-Tool in the refugee camp.
14:25I'll be here when you're done.
14:26I can't really use that.
14:36Could you try again, please?
14:44Yes.
14:45That's just what this documentary needs.
14:47I think we might need a different subject.
15:10What are you doing here?
15:22I'm waiting.
15:23Waiting?
15:24Waiting for who?
15:26Oh, for my parents.
15:27They put me on the rescue transport and said to wait for them here.
15:30They'll come find me as soon as they can.
15:32I guess this is the same on this place.
15:37Look, if anyone bothers you, let me in the council.
15:41I'll take care of them, okay?
15:42Sure thing, sir.
15:43Thanks.
15:47Great shot, Commander.
15:52I'm sorry, but that's not my way in mind.
15:59Son of a bitch.
16:02I think it needs to be more about the refugees.
16:09Excellent.
16:09That will really get people's attention.
16:11Thank you, Commander.
16:12That should be enough footage.
16:13Son of a bitch.
16:14Don't meet me again with the Ray-Bard.
16:20Listen, please.
16:20We just need more food.
16:22I can give you the location of some ruins.
16:24I don't believe it.
16:24Prothean ruins.
16:25On Gay Hidim in the Hades Nexus.
16:27If you could get past the Reaper patrols,
16:29I'm sure you'd find something valuable.
16:31That's got to be worth something.
16:33About time?
16:33Please, my family is starving.
16:50Alliance forces struck back at Soberus
16:53with a daring attack
16:54that dissingles a Cerberus fighter base on Alharic.
17:01I need support.
17:05Someone sabotaged the Medigel dispensers,
17:07and I've got some idiot preaching about Cerberus down here.
17:10No, I've contacted C-Sec.
17:11They said it's not a priority,
17:12and it doesn't matter.
17:13What matters is that I've got Turian soldiers dying
17:16for lack of medication.
17:21After obtaining a cure to the Genophage,
17:24crewmen leaders have announced an alliance
17:26with the Turian military
17:27against the repression of the Troopi-Sat.
17:31Now, I'm going to the military commander.
17:34Absolutely, please.
17:35Welcome to Batarian State Arms.
17:43Batarian State Arms,
17:44defending the hegemony.
17:47Thank you for your patronage.
17:49Crest is okay.
17:50No infection so far.
17:52Can I talk to him?
17:53Only if it's important, commander.
17:55He's hurt bad.
17:56Take down the sedative a bit, but hurry.
17:58I peg his survival at 50-50.
18:03Are you Gorek?
18:08Go away.
18:10Nothing to say.
18:12Not even what a terrorist is doing on the Citadel?
18:16Get away from me, human.
18:19He didn't answer my question.
18:24Your alliance wiped out my world.
18:26Blew up a relay that turned my planet
18:28into ash.
18:30And I got that people on it.
18:32Families.
18:34Struck back.
18:38For them.
18:42The alliance destroyed the alpha relay
18:44because the Reapers were about to come through.
18:46Easy for you to say that now,
18:48then.
18:54You want to punish me?
18:56Unplug the sedative.
18:58Let me join my family.
19:16I'm done here.
19:21Good.
19:22He'll cough himself to death
19:23without a sedative.
19:25No.
19:26Wait.
19:30Oh.
19:32Just take it easy.
19:34There.
19:35Cerberus wants our help.
19:52And if Cerberus is good enough for Commander Shepard,
19:56it should be good enough for us.
19:58Oh, for the love of...
20:00Oh, for the love of...
20:02Commander Shepard, it's me, Conrad Verner.
20:05Wow, it's great to see you again.
20:07I joined Cerberus, too.
20:09Conrad, Cerberus just tried to kill the Council.
20:13I'm not working with them.
20:15Oh, no.
20:18I screwed up again, didn't I?
20:22Just...
20:22I'm sorry if I ever accused you of pointing a gun at me
20:25when you didn't actually do that.
20:27I was really stressed out.
20:29What can you tell me about your Cerberus contacts?
20:33Not much.
20:34They wanted me to help recruit people
20:35near the medical station.
20:36Which was sabotaged while you had everyone distract them.
20:41Oh.
20:41Oh, wait.
20:43Wait.
20:43Wait.
20:44No.
20:46I'll deal with it.
20:47Just don't...
20:48do anything.
20:52Okay.
20:53But I might be able to help you with...
20:55whatever you're doing now that isn't Cerberus.
20:59Conrad,
21:00I'm building an ancient Prothean dark energy device
21:03to stop the Reapers.
21:04Can you help with that?
21:06Well, I did write my doctoral dissertation
21:09on xenotechnology and dark energy integration.
21:13Really?
21:14Yes.
21:15In fact, I may be able to find
21:16some ancient tech schematics
21:18that could help you with construction.
21:20Hang on.
21:20I have an old contact.
21:23Ah, come on, Hassel.
21:24Help me out.
21:25Sorry.
21:26The war has him scared.
21:28Hassel?
21:30Gavin Hassel, the tech researcher?
21:32I did him a favor once.
21:33Tell him this is for me.
21:34I had no idea you two knew each other.
21:38Small universe.
21:40Okay.
21:40He's forwarding the schematics over.
21:47Oh, no.
21:49It's in an ancient Asari dialect.
21:51We'd need a lot of ancient Asari writing to translate.
21:53Would this collection of Asari matriarch writings help?
21:59Uh, yes.
22:00Yes, it would.
22:01Okay.
22:02It's auto-translating.
22:03Let's see.
22:04Oh, no.
22:05The technology falls under an existing patent.
22:08I can't actually access the schematics
22:10without a license from...
22:11Let's see.
22:13Elkos Combine?
22:13Combine?
22:17How did you even?
22:19Well, this is great.
22:24Okay.
22:25Here you go.
22:26Hope this helps you build that dark energy device.
22:30Anyway, good luck fixing the Meta-gel dispensers.
22:33I'll just be here.
22:35Not touching anything.
22:36Okay.
22:36Let's go.
22:36Let's go.
22:36Let's go.
22:36Let's go.
22:36Let's go.
