Part 78 of the walkthrough of Mass Effect: Andromeda for the PC.
Transcript
00:00Oh
00:30There's a power short here, we could scan the area.
01:00The use of firearms on the Nexus is against initiative regulation.
01:26I scan to assess the nature of the damage.
01:32Meaning all living beings are just a big buffet to steal from.
01:36Many species do the same, only the most primitive do it by force.
01:42Hello, Pathfinder. A moment.
01:45What can I do for you, Doctor?
01:47I have a math problem. Some vital equations that only a mind like Sam's could solve.
01:52They concern strange transmission patterns in the Scourge. Perhaps random noise, perhaps not.
02:00Sam likes new experiences. It'll be an opportunity to encounter math homework.
02:04Given the complexity and the security implications, I recommend transferring the equations directly into Sam node.
02:12I have them on an optical storage disk for you.
02:14I'll see if I have time.
02:16Thank you, Pathfinder. Please thank Sam as well.
02:20...
02:26...
02:30...
02:34...
02:40...
02:44Let's go.
03:14Let's go.
03:44Let's go.
04:14Let's go.
04:44Welcome, Ambassador. The Angara's first formal visit will be one for the history books.
04:50I wonder what they'll say.
04:52I was just explaining to the Ambassador that armed guards aren't necessary here.
04:56Is something wrong, Ambassador?
04:59Please walk with me, Pathfinder.
05:01So much life.
05:09All different. All united.
05:12The way it could have been.
05:14Seventy-five years ago, we were scattered, struggling to rebuild after the Scourge.
05:21Then, the Kett arrived.
05:23Alien life. It was monumental.
05:28But then they deceived and enslaved us.
05:32So, I hope you understand my precautions.
05:36Your people have endured much, Ambassador. I'd be cautious, too.
05:43Yet all this, your initiative, is proof there's a better way.
05:47I want to believe in this Alliance, Pathfinder.
05:50The Moshai says you're trustworthy.
05:53Please, help me trust in you.
05:56Everything you see, we're willing to share.
06:00Knowledge, technology, support.
06:03What's the price?
06:04Whatever you're willing to give.
06:08They'll surrender their weapons to your militia, if that's satisfactory.
06:12Thank you. We won't disappoint you, Ambassador.
06:16Pavos at Jav Terevon, Pathfinder.
06:19Welcome to Andromeda.
06:20Another power saunt.
06:39I appreciate it.
06:41Pathfinder, I'm glad you could stop by.
06:44How did you get this job?
06:48I was a sociologist in the Milky Way.
06:51While there were plenty of cultures to study, the books on them had all been written.
06:55There was nothing new I could add.
06:58So, when I heard about the initiative, I signed up right away.
07:02The idea of meeting new people, seeing how they've evolved, adapted to life's challenges, I couldn't resist.
07:12What goes on here?
07:14The Cultural Center is a place where new races we've met can visit and exchange ideas.
07:19They can learn more about the Milky Way species, while we foster an air of cooperation and understanding.
07:26You've already brought us our first visitors by making contact with the Angara.
07:33Have you heard anything about the Ket?
07:36Unfortunately, yes.
07:38Now, that's a species we won't be inviting here anytime soon.
07:42I'd hoped our encounters would be peaceful, but I suppose that was too much to ask.
07:47What do you think of the Angara?
08:00What do you think of the Angara?
08:14I'm thrilled to meet a new culture.
08:17They're cautious, but I understand why.
08:20If someone showed up on our doorstep in the Milky Way, we'd be skeptical, too.
08:24I hope we can win them over, cement a friendship.
08:28I suppose that's on you, Pathfinder.
08:30Thanks.
08:34Of course.
08:36In the meantime, have a look around.
08:39And when you have a second, check back with me on a favor I'd like to ask.
08:43You are looking at an image of the Milky Way, the original system of the colonists now arriving in Andromeda.
08:53Home to countless lifeforms, the Milky Way is a galaxy where friendship and peace are held in the highest regard.
09:01Those arriving in Andromeda bring with them this spirit of enlightenment.
09:05They look forward to making your acquaintance.
09:07They're happy to answer any questions you may have, and eager to learn more about your own culture.
09:17Welcome back.
09:19Hello there, neighbor.
09:20I'm Gian Garson, the founder of the Andromeda Initiative.
09:24I thought you might like to hear more about our plans.
09:30Okay.
09:31Great.
09:33If you're seeing this, it means our Pathfinders have done their job
09:36and made new friends in the galaxy.
09:39Welcome to the Nexus.
09:40But I want to put your mind at ease.
09:43Seeing our Arcs arriving in your neighborhood probably raised some concerns.
09:47I'm happy to address them.
09:53What are you planning to do in this galaxy?
09:56Great question.
09:57I'd be worried about that, too.
09:59I can assure you, we have no hostile intentions whatsoever.
10:03We're pilgrims who simply want to live in peace.
10:06We're eager to learn about new cultures, new ideas, and share our own with you.
10:11But we understand trust needs to be earned, no matter what galaxy you're in.
10:17And the initiative looks forward to doing just that.
10:19Why did you leave the Milky Way?
10:27I get that question a lot.
10:30Many of us have a deep curiosity that needs to know what else is out there.
10:35Our own Milky Way is just one tiny speck in a universe full of mysteries.
10:41And speaking for myself, the thought of exploring those mysteries in Andromeda
10:46was a call to adventure I could not resist.
10:52Thank you for taking the time to listen.
10:55On behalf of my fellow Milky Way travelers,
10:58we couldn't be more excited about what the future holds for all of us.
11:03Any news?
11:04Reports indicate everyone is safe.
11:06This is Ark Hyperion,
11:10one of several ships that made the long voyage from the Milky Way galaxy to Andromeda.
11:15The thousands of colonists aboard have come in peace,
11:18united by their dream of a better life in your beautiful galaxy.
11:22You need not fear their arrival.
11:24We are all citizens of the universe,
11:27eager to be your friend.
11:28The nexus is a place to ship...
11:33Hello there.
11:34I'm a human being.
11:35If you'd like to know more about my people,
11:37just ask.
11:40Okay.
11:41Good to hear.
11:42Humanity is a diverse species.
11:44You may notice different skin colors
11:45or religious beliefs among our people.
11:48Yet we don't let those differences come between us.
11:50We'd rather celebrate our diversity
11:52rather than fight over it.
11:57Where do you come from?
11:58Humans come from a planet called Earth.
12:01It's a beautiful blue world
12:03with everything from oceans to jungles,
12:05snowy mountain peaks to deserts.
12:07It's also an oasis of biological diversity.
12:11Scientists calculate Earth contains
12:13nearly 9 million unique animal and plant species.
12:20What's human history like?
12:23Humanity is a young people
12:24compared to many of the other Milky Way races.
12:26We didn't discover spaceflight until much later.
12:30But what we lack in age,
12:32we make up for with enthusiasm
12:33and a pioneer spirit.
12:36We'd like to think we can teach
12:37our fellow travelers a few new tricks.
12:39I'm glad you stopped by.
12:44Next time you see a human,
12:46ask about ice cream.
12:47It's one of the many great things
12:49we bring to Andromeda.
12:52Don't hesitate to speak
12:53with one of our friendly peace ambassadors.
12:55This is an image of the citadel,
12:58considered the seat of government
13:00for many civilized races
13:01in the Milky Way galaxy.
13:03Here, the council deliberates
13:05on matters of state.
13:06It is a champion of the common citizen,
13:09eager to help those in need.
13:11As with all political institutions
13:13in the Milky Way,
13:14conflict is rare.
13:16Peace and cooperation
13:17are the rule of the day.
13:19to the cultural center.
13:20Please have a look around.
13:25Hi there.
13:26Thanks for stopping by.
13:28I'm a drogen.
13:29Are you interested in hearing
13:30more about my people?
13:33Okay.
13:35Of course you are.
13:36We might look scary,
13:37but don't let that worry.
13:39It comes from living
13:40on a harsh world.
13:42We're a species
13:43that knows how to thrive,
13:44even under the worst conditions.
13:49Where do you come from?
13:51An ugly rock,
13:52told T'Chanka.
13:54No sense lying.
13:55It's not a planet
13:55most people want to visit.
13:57We had predators,
13:58nasty weather,
13:59and not much else.
14:01But it gave us our identity,
14:03forced us to adapt and evolve.
14:06Everything about us
14:07is built for survival.
14:09How many species do you know
14:11that have a pair of spare lungs
14:12just in case?
14:14Or four testicles?
14:15What's Krogan history like?
14:20Colorful, you might say.
14:22Growing up in our neighborhood,
14:23only the toughest survived.
14:25That usually meant
14:26to a lot of fighting.
14:28You'll hear stories,
14:29so no sense covering it up.
14:31We once had a great society,
14:33but I'm ashamed to say
14:34we squandered it.
14:36It's why a lot of Krogan
14:37are here in Andropa the Pound.
14:39They're the smart ones,
14:40the ones looking for peace
14:42and a fresh start.
14:43Thanks for chatting.
14:47We're all looking forward
14:48to meeting our new neighbors.
14:52The Nexus is a place
14:54of friendship and cooperation.
14:56We're glad you could visit.
14:57In the year 2157,
15:07human explorers
15:08chanced upon a galactic gateway,
15:10leading to their first encounter
15:12with the Turians.
15:13Hostility.
15:15However,
15:16the governing body
15:17in the Milky Way,
15:18the Citadel,
15:18quickly intervened.
15:20They brokered a truce
15:21between Turians
15:22and humanity.
15:23Their antagonism faded,
15:25and within a few decades,
15:26the two species
15:27were allies.
15:28This outcome illustrates
15:30how Milky Way races
15:31believe a peaceful solution
15:33can be found
15:33to even the most
15:34intractable disagreements.
15:39Don't hesitate to speak
15:40with one of our friendly
15:41peace ambassadors.
15:42It was nearly 3,000 years ago
15:45when the Krogan
15:46and Salarians first met.
15:48War and ignorance
15:49had decimated
15:50the Krogan homeworld.
15:52The Salarians uplifted them,
15:54rescuing the Krogan
15:55from likely extinction.
15:57The Salarians gave them
15:58technology
15:59and a new planet
16:00where they could thrive.
16:01In return,
16:02the Krogan defeated
16:03a hostile race
16:04threatening galactic peace.
16:06Theirs is a complicated
16:07relationship,
16:09but one showing
16:09how species who disagree
16:11still coexist
16:12in the Milky Way.
16:13...rich diversity
16:14of people
16:14who have arrived
16:15from the Milky Way galaxy.
16:17It's an honor to meet you,
16:21citizen of Andromeda.
16:22My people are the Turians.
16:24It will be a privilege
16:25to tell you about them.
16:28Okay.
16:29Turians are a highly
16:31disciplined race
16:32who value service to others.
16:34No one places
16:34personal needs
16:35ahead of the greater whole.
16:37Public works
16:38serve as a focal point
16:39of our society.
16:41We believe it's our duty
16:42to better our species.
16:43Where do you come from?
16:48Turians live on a planet
16:49known as Paladin.
16:51The atmosphere's
16:51weak magnetic field
16:52shaped our evolution
16:54into the lifeform
16:55you see today.
16:56Our signature carapace,
16:58the hard exterior shell
17:00you see on Turians,
17:01is actually metal.
17:03It protects us
17:03from the intense rays
17:04of Paladin's sun.
17:09What's Turian history like?
17:11The history of my people
17:12is proof
17:13that peace
17:14eventually wins out.
17:16Disagreements
17:16among species
17:17turned into
17:18lasting friendships.
17:20When Turians
17:21first met humans,
17:22there was a misunderstanding
17:23between us
17:24that could have had
17:25disastrous consequences.
17:27But with patience
17:28and restraint,
17:30humans and Turians
17:31eventually joined together
17:32in a mutually
17:33beneficial partnership.
17:35We look forward
17:36to doing the same
17:37in Andromeda.
17:40The pleasure of meeting you
17:42has been mine.
17:43one that I hope
17:44other Tyrians
17:45will soon enjoy.
17:47The Nexus
17:48is a place of friendship
17:49and cooperation.
17:51We're glad you could visit.
17:52Welcome, native of Andromeda.
17:54My people are known as Asari.
17:56It would be my pleasure
17:57to tell you about our kind.
17:58Asari is a place of friendship.
17:59I hope you can find out
18:00that you can find out
18:01where you are.
18:01Okay.
18:02Very well.
18:03Asari are the oldest
18:04civilized race
18:05in the Milky Way galaxy.
18:07Among my people,
18:08diplomacy and cooperation
18:10are prized
18:10over war or conflict.
18:14Where do you come from?
18:16Asari come from a planet
18:18known as Thessian,
18:19which many consider
18:20the crown jewel
18:21of the Milky Way.
18:22It's a thriving world
18:23blessed with prosperity
18:24and peace
18:25and the center
18:26of the largest economy
18:27in the galaxy.
18:29With the high concentration
18:30of Element Zero
18:31on Thessia,
18:32Asari evolved
18:33powerful biotic abilities.
18:36It is considered
18:36a hallmark
18:37of our species.
18:41What's Asari history like?
18:44Thousands of years ago,
18:45we played an important role
18:46in founding
18:47the Citadel Council,
18:48the seat of government
18:49for our home galaxy.
18:51In the ensuing centuries,
18:53Asari placed great value
18:54on cooperation
18:55and collaboration.
18:56Many species look to us
18:58for leadership and guidance.
19:00Due to our lifespan,
19:01sometimes reaching
19:021,000 years of age,
19:04we are patient
19:04in our decisions
19:05and prefer long-term solutions
19:07over short-term gains.
19:12Farewell.
19:13We look forward
19:14to forging new bonds
19:15with our friends
19:16in Andromeda.
19:17The wisdom you share
19:18is our reward.
19:19Don't hesitate to speak
19:25with one of our
19:25friendly peace ambassadors.
19:26Greetings,
19:27inhabitant of Andromeda.
19:28I'm a Salarian.
19:29I'd be pleased
19:30to tell you more
19:30about our species.
19:31They have,
19:32and eager to learn
19:33more about your own
19:34co-opies.
19:34Okay.
19:35Salarians are considered
19:36among the brightest
19:37scientific minds
19:38of the Milky Way.
19:39We're known for our
19:40quick-thinking,
19:41technological savvy,
19:42and intellectual powers
19:43of deduction.
19:46Where do you come from?
19:47Salarians originate
19:49from a world
19:50known as Surkash,
19:51its tropical planet
19:52covered with oceans
19:53and rainforests.
19:54As an amphibious species,
19:56we're at home
19:56in Surkash's lush jungles,
19:58but with our
19:58technological advancements,
19:59we can adapt
20:00to nearly any environment.
20:02We look forward
20:02to studying the wonders
20:03of Andromeda
20:04and the rich diversity
20:05our galaxy has to offer.
20:09What's Salarian history like?
20:12Cooperating with the Asari,
20:13we were the second species
20:14in the Milky Way
20:15to help form
20:16a galactic government,
20:16the Citadel Council.
20:19From time to time,
20:20we also guided
20:20other species,
20:21such as the Croban,
20:22to better channel
20:23their natural gifts
20:24towards worthy pursuits.
20:27It's our belief
20:27that the careful application
20:28of science and intellect
20:29is the key to improving
20:31the quality of life for all.
20:35It's been my pleasure.
20:36Rest assured,
20:37the people of Andromeda
20:38have nothing to fear
20:39from Salarians.
20:39This is an outpost
20:45for Milky Way colonists
20:47arriving in your galaxy.
20:49They come seeking
20:50a fresh start in Andromeda,
20:52yearning only for a land
20:53they can call home.
20:55If you encounter an outpost,
20:56feel free to drop by
20:57and say hello.
20:59Your new neighbors
21:00are eager to make friends.
