Part 10 of the walkthrough of Mass Effect: Andromeda for the PC.
Transcript
00:00Wow, hearing mom again. I never knew that's how dad found out.
00:08Alec was a stubborn man.
00:12I would hope so. Mom's life was worth fighting for.
00:16It would seem his obstinance extended to me as well.
00:20Nobody wanted to listen. The idea of you scared people too much.
00:24After this, dad moved us back to Earth to care for mom.
00:27I wonder why he wanted me to see this.
00:30Perhaps it was the beginning.
00:32Of what?
00:34Unknown. Private audio logs are now available in your father's quarters.
00:39I detect additional memories, but they are currently locked. They may yet hold answers.
00:44Okay, I'll keep working on it.
00:48I take it you're based here in Samnode?
00:50Correct. This is where my core processing unit resides.
00:54However, using quantum entanglement communication, I remain in constant touch with you and the Pathfinder mission team, even over great distances.
01:05What more can you tell me about my implant?
01:08The implant itself provides me with direct access to your senses.
01:11I can see, hear, and experience the same stimuli you do while in the field.
01:16This raw data enables me to provide real-time feedback and analysis of the situation.
01:22Then dad added the secret sauce.
01:24You removed the restrictions on my access to Pathfinder physiology.
01:27Uh-huh. Just promise you won't fry my brain or anything?
01:35Trust is an important concept in any relationship.
01:38Alec taught me that.
01:39I will not fry your brain.
01:41It would end badly for both of us.
01:44Me more than you.
01:45Do you know anything more about Scott's condition?
01:50I monitor Dr. Carlisle's reports.
01:52He is providing Scott with the very best care possible.
01:55I'm afraid there is nothing more to be done at this time.
02:01What are your capabilities?
02:03Each arc houses a SAM, simulated, adaptive matrix.
02:08Each is an artificial intelligence designed by Alec Ryder to support Pathfinders and their teams.
02:13But AI is illegal in the Milky Way.
02:16How did my dad get around that?
02:18Exceptions were made.
02:20The Initiative deemed his research vital to the mission.
02:22Our design was conducted in secret.
02:27So there are other SAMs out there?
02:29Correct.
02:30However, your father continued to modify my own routines until the Hyperion's departure.
02:35I am the most advanced SAM in the Initiative.
02:38What did he mean by a symbiotic relationship?
02:44Symbiosis is a mutually beneficial relationship between two life forms.
02:48A flower provides nectar to a bee, who in turn provides pollen for the flower.
02:52The bee gains nourishment, and the flower can propagate.
02:56In similar fashion, my own evolution was shaped by your father's experiences, and will now expand with yours.
03:01In return, I provide you with capabilities and analysis beyond normal human faculties.
03:07We each benefit.
03:12That's all for now.
03:13Of course.
03:13That's all for now, time and concordity.
03:28I приход to see the girl inside.
03:36Let's go.
04:06Let's go.
04:36What's the latest about waking people up?
04:52We're in a holding pattern. Word is that the Nexus doesn't have enough room.
04:56But they've been here for like a year, haven't they?
04:58Yeah, I guess it didn't go so well.
05:28I guess it didn't go so well.
05:58I'll make it right, Dash.
06:05I pro- Pathfinder? I'm Nigel McCoy. Just got out of cryo.
06:12Welcome to Andromeda, Nigel.
06:13Thank you. It's bittersweet though. My little brother Dash was stationed on the Nexus. I just learned he died on Eos, trying to start a settlement.
06:23That's awful. I'm sorry, Nigel.
06:29Yeah. We were gonna start families out here together.
06:32I have a pendant our father wore. Dash had its match. Will you... reunite them?
06:43Of course.
06:43In his digital journal. He mentioned a spot on Eos where he'd go to think. If you could leave the pendant there.
06:58Ryder, good to see you. Damn shame about your dad though. I'm sorry we couldn't save him.
07:03I'm sure you did everything you could.
07:09Yeah. But still, we lost a Pathfinder on my watch. Doesn't sit right.
07:15My dad knew the danger. Part of the job.
07:18Now I just need to make sure your brother here pulls through.
07:21Are you staying here in the Hyperion?
07:27You know that moment when you realize you're just getting too old?
07:31Uh.
07:33Ha, right. Look who I'm talking to.
07:35Trust me, it happens. For me, it was Habitat 7.
07:39Watching you guys running around, dodging lightning and the cat, it's a young man's game.
07:44Pains me to admit it, but it's passed me by.
07:46We'll miss you, Harry.
07:52Just make sure to raise some hell once in a while, will you? I'm living vicariously through you.
07:58Deal.
08:00How's Scott doing?
08:02His condition's stable. I see signs of REM activity in the brain, so he's dreaming.
08:07Means all the wiring still works.
08:10How'd this happen?
08:11It was dumb luck, really. We hit the scourge at the worst possible moment.
08:16Just as the stasis revival was kicking in.
08:19It's a vulnerable moment, coming out of a 600-year nap, then wham!
08:23Circuits fried and overloaded the neural pathways.
08:27Don't worry, I'm on it. We're not losing another writer.
08:33How did you end up with the initiative?
08:36Well, you reach a point in life where you wonder, is that all there is?
08:40I'd accomplished everything in the Milky Way I could.
08:42I was locked into a future of diminishing returns.
08:46So coming here was the world's biggest midlife crisis.
08:50A chance to wake up in the morning and feel hope instead of arthritis.
08:53That's all, Harry. Thanks.
09:00Don't be a stranger.
09:01If anything changes with Scott, I'll let you know.
09:09Ryder.
09:11Hayes. How's the wound?
09:13Doc says I'll live.
09:14So this goes from a life-threatening gunshot to a story I'll tell my grandkids someday.
09:19With no need to exaggerate, that was a tough fight on Habitat 7.
09:24Just glad to be on the other side of it.
09:26Thanks.
09:48Bye.
09:49Bye.
09:50Bye.
09:50Bye.
09:50Bye.
09:50Bye.
09:51Bye.
09:54Bye.
09:55I don't know.
10:25God knows what those aliens would have done.
10:28We couldn't leave a man behind.
10:30Yeah. Your father. Kirkland.
10:33We'll never forget their sacrifice.
10:36It's a brave thing. Risking your life for the greater good.
10:40Yeah. Just seems unfair.
10:43We barely got here.
10:45I'm sorry I'm not out there with you, but...
10:48Kirkland was a friend.
10:50And I'm not cut out for this anymore.
10:53Understood.
10:55Habitat 7 was a nasty wake-up call.
10:57You take care, Greer.
10:59You too. Thanks again.
11:08Fisher. Glad to see you're doing better.
11:11That was some expedition, hey?
11:13Captain said I'm going in the log as the first human to make contact with the cat.
11:18And Kirkland's the first casualty.
11:19Wish you could have gone differently.
11:24I'm sure there are decent aliens here in Andromeda, too.
11:27We just have to find them.
11:29Well, I heard your pathfinder now.
11:31The sooner you figure out where they're hiding, the better.
11:34Will do.
11:35Chin up.
11:36That's one in.
11:37Oh, yeah.
11:37That's where they're going.
11:40I?
11:40Bye.
11:41Okay.
11:42I know.
11:51I'm sorry.
11:55Zoom.
11:56That was a little op.
11:58I heard a little.
11:59Come here.
13:29It's a pretty high clearance to mess with the security camera files.
13:32Somebody working for Kandros, maybe.
13:35That is the most probable scenario.
13:37Think you can get enough out of the files to find a match using biometric scans, Sam?
13:42The files were badly scrambled.
13:44But if I combine all the available identifiers, it might work.
13:47Based on the limited information available, we are looking for a human male, assigned either to the Nexus or Hyperion.
13:53You will need to conduct scans from close proximity.
13:57Got it.
13:57Engineering reports, Hyperion power draw is now at 100%.
14:11Biometrics, do not match.
14:24Engineering update.
14:28We are working on accessing more power from the Hyperion.
14:33All non-relevant repair requests are currently on hold until power coupling is complete.
14:38No, it isn't what we ought to do.
14:51We're getting our updated reports.
14:51Stay sure of distance.
14:53Cassidy Shaw?
14:56I'm Sarah Ryder.
14:57I'm looking into the Nilkin murder case.
15:00Oh man, I thought that was over with.
15:03Have you heard the audio recording of their fight?
15:05Yes.
15:06I helped pull him off Chief Reynolds.
15:08You could see it in his eyes.
15:09He was gonna kill him.
15:11Then in the sandstorm, I had a pretty clear view of the Chief.
15:14He looked wide at Nilkin and shouted no.
15:17Then his chest burst open.
15:19I'll never forget it.
15:20The look on his face was pure shock.
15:22Did you see any Ket in the vicinity?
15:29Nilkin said so, but not that I could see.
15:32Still, the sandstorm was severe.
15:34Visibility wasn't great.
15:38Did Nilkin seem remorseful?
15:40I lost sight of Nilkin in the turmoil.
15:42When we found him, he seemed in shock.
15:44He couldn't speak.
15:45He looked nauseated.
15:47Could have been guilt.
15:48The reality of the act sinking in.
15:50If they'd fought and Nilkin threatened to kill him,
15:57why was Reynolds surprised?
15:59Friends fight, say things they don't mean,
16:01maybe even hurt each other.
16:03But you don't expect your best friend to shoot you.
16:06To me, that's the saddest part.
16:08The Chief's heart was broken right before it exploded.
16:16Reynolds was leading you back to retake the compound.
16:18Did you agree with that?
16:20It wasn't my place to agree or disagree.
16:23He was ranking officer.
16:25In retrospect, it is ironic.
16:27If he hadn't been killed, we all probably would have died.
16:34I appreciate the information.
16:36Of course.
16:38It kills me we had to leave him behind.
16:40He deserved a proper funeral.
16:42So the body was never examined?
16:44Important piece of a murder investigation.
16:46Tian wouldn't allow a mission to go back for him.
16:49Said it was too dangerous.
16:50Tempest crew should report to the docking area at once.
16:56Engineering update.
17:03We are working on accessing more power from the Hyperion.
17:06We are working on accessing more power from the Hyperion.
17:22This person is not a match.
17:34This person is not a match.
17:47Engineering update. We are working on accessing more power from the Hyperion.
17:56All non-relevant repair requests are currently on hold until power coupling is complete.
18:17Inaccurate match.
18:47Scan results show a partial positive. Target is most likely suspect.
19:04Who is he?
19:05Dale Atkins. Reports to Candros' department. Assigned to station security.
19:10Dale Atkins, right? We need to talk.
19:16Look, not to be rude, but I have work to do.
19:21Is that what sabotage is called these days? Work?
19:24You're pretty arrogant for the new kid. You don't even know what's been going on.
19:28Proof says you've been up to no good.
19:30Figures. Screw this. Screw all you hypocrites on this station.
19:34You weren't here when they kicked out our loved ones. Mutiny? We just wanted answers.
19:40My sister is out there. I don't even know if she's alive or-
19:45I'm sorry for what happened, but setting explosives isn't the answer.
19:49Neither was sending people into exile because they didn't agree with policy.
19:53I don't care what you think. The mutiny leaders were right to demand to know what was going on.
19:59You could have hurt people. Killed them.
20:02Like those who got killed when the leadership had the Krogan stomp on my friends?
20:06I'm done talking. I confess. It was me. Do whatever you want.
20:11We can't let you stay on board. There's no saying what else you're capable of.
20:15Wait. You... you'd let me go?
20:18If you call exile letting you go, sure. You leave and you don't come back.
20:23I'll leave.
20:48I'll leave.
20:55Ready to see what Tan gave us? I hear it's something special. Pathfinder en route.
21:14I hear it's something special. Pathfinder en route. How's the ship?
21:20In final checks, looking great.
21:23We won't be long. The way things are going, we'll be on our own out there.
21:28In other words, we're making this up as we go.
21:30We used to call that tactical improvisation.
21:34But at least we'll be doing it in style.
