Part 79 of the walkthrough of Mass Effect: Andromeda for the PC.
Transcript
00:00The Nexus is a place of friendship and cooperation. We're glad you could visit.
00:13Interesting place, isn't it? Full of smiles and handshakes. Not many soldiers.
00:20Even though when politicians make peace, it's we soldiers who keep it.
00:26Given our situation, it's smart to show we truly come in friendship.
00:30Though in these times, you should be prepared for the alternative.
00:34But Namers, I know you, Pathfinder. I am Andrachna, a Heskarl with the Resistance.
00:41A Heskarl?
00:44Centuries ago, Heskarl were special forces. We defended colonies, passing our training down via oral history.
00:52Few remember us today. I came to learn what the Milky Way knows of such things.
00:57I heard your father was part of a similar program. An N7.
01:03What have you learned about the N7 program?
01:06Human soldiers who trained on exotic worlds. Arcturus, Europa, Rio de Janeiro.
01:12They learned to fight in all environments, on little food or sleep. Care for their injured. To lead. Is that accurate?
01:20Wasn't your father one of them?
01:22He was, although things soured when he began AI research. Didn't stop him teaching me and my brother a few tricks.
01:31So, you carry a little of that knowledge with you. As well as your Pathfinder skills.
01:37N7 training would benefit my people. Heskarl training would benefit yours.
01:43Perhaps a few war games. Show me how your skills handle the tests of a Heskarl recruit. Challenge yourself and teach me.
01:52A chance to work with the Angaran best of the best? Absolutely.
01:58Excellent. I'll activate our training beacons. Finding them can be your first test. After that, I look forward to learning.
02:06Pathfinder, thank you for arranging my access to the cultural center.
02:21There's so much to study here.
02:25It will take a lifetime.
02:27I'd enjoy that. All the reading. History, science, culture. Get some snacks. Settle into that corner over there.
02:37No offense, but I'm starting with the Asari.
02:41Oh, sure. But when you get to Elcor Hamlet, I want to know.
02:46I'm Gian Garson, founder of the Initiative. On behalf of the Nexus, I welcome you to the Cultural Center. Please have a look around.
03:00Welcome back. Pathfinder, do you have a moment?
03:04We, uh, need to explain you.
03:07Explain me?
03:08Our new VI over there is meant to describe the role of our Pathfinders, but it just lost all its settings in a crash.
03:17If you could fix them, that would really help us out. Just talk to the VI, and it'll do the rest.
03:25Thanks.
03:26Of course.
03:27The Nexus is a place of friendship and cooperation. We're glad you could visit.
03:40Welcome to the setup for your Pathfinder informational VI.
03:43I am programmed with all relevant data. However, you must identify which information I should prioritize.
03:50First, select your preferred voice and appearance, male or female.
03:55Female, please.
03:58Variable set.
04:00Which aspect of the Pathfinder's role should be highlighted?
04:04Exploration and discovery, or first contact with new species?
04:10Let's go with exploration and discovery.
04:14Variable set.
04:16Next, should I emphasize the role of the Pathfinder team, or their partner AI?
04:23Go with the Pathfinder's team.
04:25Variable set.
04:27Finally, should I provide career advice to future Pathfinders, or in honor of former Pathfinders?
04:35I want you to give career advice.
04:38Setup complete.
04:39Would you like to keep these setups?
04:42It all sounds good to me.
04:44Thank you for choosing this Pathfinder information VI. Implementing changes.
04:49Hello.
04:54Hello.
04:55This display describes our Pathfinders.
04:58The Initiative's Elite Explorers.
05:01Tell me about Pathfinders.
05:04Pathfinders survey distant worlds, and discover promising new outpost sites for the Initiative.
05:10Our colonization efforts wouldn't be possible without them.
05:18How does someone usually become a Pathfinder?
05:20The minimum requirements are...
05:21The minimum requirements are...
05:22Survival training.
05:23Survival training.
05:24AI compatibility testing.
05:26And military, or scientific experience.
05:30If you're interested, submit your candidacy to the Pathfinder headquarters.
05:35What?
05:39Tough job.
05:40Do Pathfinders have help?
05:42Each Pathfinder has a team of talented specialists drawn for multiple backgrounds and species.
05:52If you see a Pathfinder on your travels, be sure to say hello.
05:56Don't hesitate to speak with one of our friendly reaching ambassadors.
06:02They're happy to answer any questions you may have, and be eager to learn more about your own culture.
06:22Welcome back.
06:23I'm the founder of the Initiative.
06:25Founder of the Initiative.
06:26On behalf of the Nexus, I welcome you to the Cultural Center.
06:29Please have a look around.
06:34We hope you'll enjoy learning about the rich diversity of people who have arrived from the Milky Way Galaxy.
06:40I don't know about these, Andorra.
07:06I don't know about these, Andorra.
07:07I don't know about these, Andorra.
07:14Residents are still hoarding a lost in the garden.
07:16As sleepers wake from stasis, the Initiative originally requires blood, tissue, and DNA donations.
07:22See a medic if you think you may be eligible.
07:24This is HNS.
07:26Attention, civil disobedience has been reported in hydroponics.
07:31Security is investigating.
07:32I'm sorry, Lana.
07:32They're just trying to boost their morale.
07:33I'm sorry, Lana.
07:34They're just trying to boost their morale.
07:38An animal did this?
07:49Affirmative.
07:49I am able to track it.
07:50I'm sorry Lana. They're just trying to boost their morale.
08:05An animal did this?
08:06Affirmative. I am able to track it.
08:20Attention all personnel. The Angaran diplomatic team has arrived on the...
08:25Pathfinder, maybe you can clear this up.
08:28How can I help?
08:30My friend Jory was on Eos the first go-round. Barely survived. Now they want him to go back.
08:35They're saying the conditions are improved, that... that it's safe now, is it?
08:43You can believe the reports. Eos is becoming a livable and sustainable space.
08:47Going back to reclaim it will help heal your scars.
08:51See, Jory? It's going to be okay.
08:54Thank you, Pathfinder. Uh, I'll do that.
08:58The Cultural Center requests special dietary instructions for Angaran visitors.
09:10A worker was lost to space...
09:18I'm worried about this place if the Kett find you.
09:23Pathfinder, I believe you've found the culprit responsible for the power shortages.
09:28And... be careful out there.
09:31Alert Professor Herrick to come secure it.
09:33Superintendent Keshe reminds everyone, all power grid adjustments must be approved beforehand.
09:52The extra resources from the colonies are really...
09:54Ryder, can you believe this place?
09:57One space station slightly dented?
09:59You should have seen it a year ago. It was more than just dented.
10:04Anyway, thanks for bringing me on.
10:07Tan can't kick me off the station now, and it's been nice...
10:11seeing my granddaughter again.
10:13You really did miss her while you were gone, huh?
10:23I really did.
10:25Keshe can handle herself just fine, but it's still good to be nearby.
10:30Just in case.
10:32Pathfinder, thanks for helping Raj and Zara find actions.
10:36Dara Hortons follow him whole for all I care.
10:39What? How can we be out of those materials?
10:43Good job on the outpost. Maybe Addison will let know.
10:45What do you mean?
10:46She's been pretty upset about not having an initiative outpost established yet.
10:50Understandable, if you ask me.
10:51Understandable, if you ask me.
10:53I'm just glad she's got work to focus on now.
10:57Nothing more for now.
10:58Good luck out there.
10:59A reminder to all personnel, overtime hours remain in effect.
11:08A reminder to all personnel, overtime hours remain in effect.
11:11No, it isn't what we wanted, but what choice do we have? How the hell should I know?
11:36Hello again, Pathfinder.
11:38How are we doing on the viability front?
11:43Aiming for success. It sounds pat, but you're living up to the job.
11:50I have info on a specific sleeper I'd like brought out of Cryo.
11:54I want to avoid that entirely. For reasons.
11:58Reasons? That's it?
12:00Look, you're the Pathfinder. If you've a request for your extended team, that's a request you can make.
12:06Access the sleeper records through Brekka's console. It's none of my business. Until you make it a problem for me. Understood?
12:14Understood?
12:22Pathfinder.
12:26How has the Nexus reacted to the foothold I've established?
12:28People are eager to help. The shortages are obvious, but you're turning it to inspiration.
12:34Havaral is a draw for the research-minded, despite there being so little established.
12:39It remains unusual despite the corrected vault.
12:43It may yet be a surprising producer. We shall see.
12:46There's so much beneath Vold. Some are calling it beautiful, but not when I'm around. Poetry remains off-limits.
12:58Director Addison.
13:00Goodbye, Pathfinder.
13:01Come on with me.
13:03Come on, go.
13:20Greg.
13:24Yes, he is!
13:26Let's go.
13:56Let's go.
14:26Let's go.
14:56Let's go.
15:26Let's go.
15:56Let's go.
16:26I have a specific person I want brought out of Cryo.
16:33Name and designation if available.
16:38Let's keep this between us. Here's the info.
16:42Deployment will begin shortly. Is there anything else, Pathfinder?
16:50Why do some colonists have a number letter designation?
16:52All initiative members do. In a CV file somewhere, anyway. It isn't relevant when everyone is doing everything.
17:01I suppose it's like caring about a middle name. Do you not know yours?
17:06I wasn't aware I had one.
17:10Hmm. You were in select company even before you were made Pathfinder.
17:17Sarah Ryder Pathfinder. Specialist designation A03 Malapa. Hmm.
17:24Something interesting.
17:28An A and low odds. Hmm. Someone's an early adopter.
17:35Another time.
17:37Pathfinder.
17:37A reminder to all personnel. Overtime hours remain in effect.
17:53Pathfinder.
17:54I guess this is your place now.
18:08Everything we achieve will be seen here.
18:10The Angara have nothing to fear from the people of the Milky Way.
18:20Congratulations are in order.
18:22Peaceful contact with the Angara.
18:24It's everything the initiative stands for.
18:27It was amazing.
18:29A culture we'd never met before.
18:31In a brand new galaxy.
18:32I was just glad to be part of it.
18:34It's a moment to savor.
18:36In the Milky Way, first contact was a rare event.
18:40I hope rescuing the Moshe leads to stronger ties between our people.
18:44Did you have some other business?
18:49Any more information you can give me on the missing arcs?
18:52No. And that is the distressing part.
18:55The Asari, Turian, and Salarian arcs are completely unaccounted for.
19:00If they're the same problems with the Scourge that we did, I fear the worst.
19:05Should you find any clues, please investigate.
19:08Without the other arcs, the promise of the initiative can never be fulfilled.
19:18That's all. Thanks for your time.
19:20I'm here to serve.
19:22This is how all those worlds look from the Nexus.
19:35We forget how beautiful they are.
19:42Hi, Ryder.
19:43Hydroponics reports oxygen production is nominal.
20:07Hydroponics reports oxygen production is nominal.
20:39I can't.
20:40What if I...
20:42You know, offend them.
20:45Screw up everything our diplomats have done.
20:47Hey, Ryder, I'd like a moment.
20:49Yes?
20:50Lieutenant Sayaks, right?
20:52That's me.
20:54I'm putting together Apex strike teams to protect the people and assets you're setting up out there.
20:58We don't have a good sense of what we're up against, and could benefit from your experience.
21:02I'll have Sam upload our insights on the Ket, Remnant, and Outlaw forces we've encountered.
21:11Thanks.
21:12You'll see.
21:14Apex will make a difference.
21:15Apex will make a difference.
21:45Apex will make a difference.
22:15Coming back.
