Part 114 of the walkthrough of Mass Effect: Andromeda for the PC.
Transcript
00:00Well, well, look at you. I'm good at reading people. Want me to guess who you are?
00:09Shoot.
00:10A pathfinder.
00:12Impressive.
00:14How do you know?
00:16I cheated. I run salvage to Kadara. Word travels fast there. Should've heard what the collective is saying about you.
00:25Well, now I'm curious.
00:26I will repeat it. For your sake.
00:30What's your take on Elodin?
00:33If the Worm or the gang leaders don't kill you, the heat in Ataraxia will. I don't know how anyone can live here.
00:41Somehow, they make it work.
00:44Barely. At least once a trip, an escaped slave or ex-cultist tries to bribe me for a ride out of here.
00:51Except the Krogan. I've seen new T'Chanka. We'd all be lucky to have a setup like theirs.
01:00You said you run salvage to Kadara? How does that work?
01:03The scavengers come from Hell's Promise to sell me their scraps. I pay them next to nothing.
01:09Charming. Then what?
01:11I haul my loot to Kadara and sell to the merchants.
01:15Sloane takes her cut, naturally, but mostly I make a killing.
01:19Sometimes I even buy water from Aenea and sell it at a premium in the flophouse. It's a solid life.
01:27If you say so.
01:29You must deal with the scavengers a lot.
01:32No more than I have to.
01:34Slavery, cannibalism, gang leader worship. It's enough to make my skin crawl.
01:39I plan to keep my distance.
01:44Smart. But it's not just the gang leaders. The ones in the Paradise are dangerous, too.
01:51This is supposed to be a neutral zone. But I don't trust the scavengers to follow the rules.
01:59Got info on someone named Isabel Halsey?
02:02What am I? Your personal database?
02:04Come on. You're the only one here who doesn't want to kill me. Just help me out.
02:11Fine, fine. I've never met her, but I heard a few scavengers talking.
02:17Mention a cave out in the dunes. Something about Isabel's time being limited.
02:22This is the nav point. Just watch out. That's a bad area.
02:27All of Eloden is a bad area.
02:30Good point.
02:30Ever work with a guy named Reyes?
02:36Reyes? He's one of my buyers, actually. You know him?
02:39We've met.
02:41I'm not surprised. Reyes knows everyone. Some a little too well.
02:48Take it easy.
02:50Always do.
02:50You're Aenea.
03:01That's right. You've heard of me.
03:03Word gets round.
03:05You thrive on Eloden, which is supposed to be uninhabitable.
03:11True. I have made something of a paradise here. No fighting, no violence.
03:18Outside the gates, you're on your own. But in here, you're safe.
03:22Anyone violates the peace, they have to answer to me.
03:29Being able to maintain control here must be difficult.
03:32These people need me. They need what I sell, so they behave or they're out.
03:37Now what can I get you? How can I help? Just let me know.
03:41I'm supposed to meet a Krogan here named Strux?
03:46Look around. If my customers have names, I don't know them. It's better that way.
03:53You have a pretty good attitude for a place like this.
03:55I've got nothing to complain about. I'm rich and no one messes with me.
04:00Most powerful woman on Eloden.
04:02Yeah?
04:03I don't mean to brag, but absolutely.
04:08What else is here?
04:10I'm a businesswoman, not a tour guide, but I'll tell you what I know if it suits me.
04:16You get along with the Krogan?
04:18Everyone comes to Eloden with the dream of leaving. Except me and the Krogan.
04:23They built their colony into a sinkhole. Smart. Keeps it cool enough for them, I guess.
04:29They have their own water?
04:30Unfortunately for them, no. But Mordor and I get along well. So far.
04:37Who lives on this planet?
04:39Desperate folks, mostly. Misfits, some. Those that can't get along in the regular world.
04:46Or people willing to make a profit off that desperation.
04:50Like you?
04:52Careful, sweetheart. You want to keep me on your good side.
04:55There's a place they call the Flophouse. Eastish of here. Den of murder and misery. You should pay it a call.
05:04What can you tell me about that derelict ship?
05:07Ah, you came here to get killed, did ya?
05:09Scavengers are trying to pull it apart, is all I know.
05:12I don't go near their claims. They shoot on sight.
05:15What can I buy?
05:21I don't know. What do you have to trade?
05:23Mostly I sell water. But you should go out to the tanks if you want that.
05:27Is there anywhere else on the planet to... I don't know... find water?
05:32Not really. And if I don't like the look of you or you get on my bad side, then no water for you.
05:37I don't know.
06:08Not really.
06:31I don't know.
06:34I don't know.
06:36Let's go.
07:06Let's go.
07:36Let's go.
08:06Hey, hey. Welcome, welcome. Come this way. Follow me.
08:15That's a fancy ship, all right? You'll find lots of deals inside.
08:19Just talk to my boss. Come on, this way.
08:21Automated protocols activated. Deploying forward station.
08:30Keep levels increasing.
08:36Mining.
08:37Nice. That thing got new parts?
08:55What? You gonna follow me out there and steal it?
08:58Yeah. I am.
09:28I don't know.
09:34I think it's actually happening.
09:35Yeah.
09:36I am.
09:36I am.
09:37I am.
09:37I am.
09:38Ambient temperature is normal.
10:08This is a special place.
10:23How's it going?
10:24Need something?
10:26What can I buy?
10:31I can't buy a new one.
10:38I can't buy a new one.
10:43I can't buy a new one.
10:48Okay.
11:18Let's go.
11:48Let's go.
12:18Let's go.
12:48Let's go.
13:18Let's go.
13:48Let's go.
14:18Let's go.
14:48Let's go.
15:18Let's go.
15:48Temperature levels are climbing, Pathfinder.
15:52Let's go.
16:22Why would anyone near the end of their life take a chance joining the Initiative?
16:28Why would anyone at the start of theirs join up with strangers like us?
16:33Besides, who says I'm old?
16:36Who says I'm dying?
16:37I don't think I said I'm deaf?
16:39I don't think I said I'm deaf.
16:43Now you're saying I'm deaf?
16:45I don't think I said that.
16:47I don't think I said that.
16:49You did?
16:49I'm certain I didn't.
16:51Well, I am old, but I got a lot of living, but I got a lot of living left.
16:55I'm old, but I'm old, but I'm, you're taking a lot of living, but I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
17:08You're approaching the refuge of Dirk Barrett.
17:22We are not hostile.
17:25Repeat, not hostile.
17:26Now, please do not shoot.
17:28Don't trust everything you hear out here, kid.
17:41Pathfinder, I'm Dirk Barrett.
17:43I speak for everyone you see here.
17:45Glad you're hearing me out instead of shooting me in the face.
17:51It never really hurts to listen.
17:53I agree.
17:54Most of the people who live here don't, as I'm sure you've noticed.
17:58They kill anything that moves, including each other.
18:01Long-term prospects for survival, zero.
18:05Me?
18:06I haven't lost my mind.
18:08I don't want to die.
18:09Neither do these people.
18:11That's why I need your help.
18:17Well, I am the Pathfinder, and I'm pretty sure my job description includes help people survive in Helios.
18:24So, shoot.
18:25What do you need?
18:26First, we need to move.
18:27This shelter is small and can't be fortified.
18:30Another gang has taken over base about 20 clicks from here.
18:34Beautiful setup they don't know how to use.
18:37Idiots taking apart the walls for scrap.
18:40If you can help us clear them out, I think we'll be good.
18:43I'll see what I can do.
18:47Thanks, Pathfinder.
18:48Anything else you need to know, just ask.
18:50You and your crew aren't as violent as the other scavengers here.
18:56From the start, Elodin was about how much firepower you had.
19:00Got firepower, you can take what you want.
19:03Resulted in lots of people using their guns to get bigger guns.
19:08Eventually, I had to step back and think about what I really wanted out here, and how to get there.
19:13Turns out I wasn't the only one.
19:18Why did you come to Elodin?
19:20Seemed like a good idea at the time.
19:22Yeah, I know.
19:23Not the smartest move.
19:25Kadara bothered some people.
19:27Sloane muscling her way into Angara territory.
19:30I guess some of us wanted to start with a clean slate.
19:34Too bad I got shit on so fast.
19:39If you manage to get a fortified base, what then?
19:42Trade, hopefully.
19:43We know the Kroken are out here.
19:45Once we're set up, we'll try to make contact.
19:47Maybe if we're really successful, the other exiles will come around and join us.
19:52I just know that anarchy is unlikely to get us very far.
19:55We need people working towards the same goal.
20:02I like your optimism.
20:03That's the stuff we need to really make it work out here.
20:06Yeah, well, I'm a romantic at heart.
20:09What can I say?
20:10I'm not stupid.
20:12I know it's not gonna be painless.
20:14But, as they say, if you're gonna die, better die trying.
20:21Nothing else right now.
20:22I'll head out.
20:23Alright.
20:24We'll keep you.
20:25Life support is back online.
20:29This heat is unbearable.
20:31I detect a considerable temperature drop in shaded areas.
20:38I detect a considerable temperature drop in shaded areas.
