00:00I would like to welcome our Salarian and Asari pilgrims to the Nexus.
00:24You've had a long journey, but we're thrilled that your Orcs have finally arrived.
00:29We ask for patience as we find homes for everyone.
00:34To those who doubted the future, the proof stands before you.
00:38The Asari and Salarians live, and so does the dream.
00:45Ah, there's the hero who made it possible, Pathfinder Rider.
00:50Do you have any words for us?
00:52Like Director Tan said, the dream lives.
01:02If we all pull together, this can work.
01:05Exactly what I would have said.
01:07In fact, I think I did.
01:08We all owe Rider a debt of gratitude.
01:11In the meantime, please enjoy whatever comforts the Nexus can offer a weary traveler.
01:18Excuse me.
01:20You're the one who saved us.
01:24I am.
01:26I don't know what else to say.
01:28I'd be dead if it weren't for you.
01:31We all would.
01:32Now we have a future.
01:34A bright future.
01:35You've been through a tough time, but it gets better.
01:38There's plenty of good in Helios.
01:39I can't wait to find it.
01:51I just got the new...
01:53Wait.
01:54Wait.
02:00It could be worse.
02:01It could be worse.
02:09Aurem, the Vortex.
02:16Consumption of alcohol in public spaces is strictly prohibited.
02:21Free for an interview?
02:26I'd like to know more about the Angara.
02:29It's not often a first contact goes so smoothly.
02:31At least the Angara are more peaceful than the Kett.
02:35There's high hopes for this alliance.
02:39The Angara are survivors, and they're willing to help.
02:42They'll be great allies.
02:44The Angara soldier who joined your team has a few fans already,
02:48but everyone's talking about Aya.
02:50Green plants, flowing water.
02:52Our leaders have discussed whether we should send colonists there.
02:58If the Angara say yes, I don't see why not.
03:02I wonder who gets to make that call.
03:03The Angara don't have much of a government left.
03:07Okay, that's...
03:09Colonist registration is up since last episode, as is morale.
03:13Tan sent this for you.
03:15Inspiring, huh?
03:18What? That's ridiculous. Why would he say that?
03:22Maybe he thought he was being honest.
03:23We could send him a gift.
03:24He was being an ass.
03:33Any sort of stuff that he thought of?
03:35Me, or ...
03:49thôi.
03:50We could tell him.
03:50Unless they want to make that call.
03:52Don't hurt.
03:53We could pay him.
03:54I could defeat him.
03:55I...
03:55They could pray.
03:56I wish he was and he more像.
10:29The Asari Arc has been recovered in deep space after nearly being destroyed during a Kett assault.
10:34The Lucenia was mostly evacuated by the time initiative forces intercepted the Arc in the Valet system.
10:40This, after the Asari Pathfinder, this after the Asari Pathfinder was killed while attempting negotiations with the Kett.
10:46New Pathfinder Sarissa Theris credited her human counterpart for the Arc's rescue.
10:51Somehow we had enough power to keep the FTL burning.
10:54Another cache of Cascade, another cache of the H.
11:24Let's go.
11:54Let's go.
12:25Ryder made a sentimental choice saving those Krogan. She looked at them and thought of you.
12:30Ryder's her own person. Just admit you don't like Krogan.
12:35Ahem. The Pathfinder.
12:38Ryder, we were just discussing your encounter with the Archon.
12:42It's true. I had to leave some Salarians behind, Director Tan. I'm sorry about that.
12:47Noted. Though it is good to see Ark Porcero reunited with the Nexus.
12:52Yet I have to question what we've gained provoking the Archon like this.
12:56He had a map showing the location of Meridian.
13:01Now we have it. And a short window to get there. It's the control center for the terraforming network.
13:08If we get that working, all our problems are solved.
13:11Based on what data? This is all alien science.
13:16The Vault on Aya suggests that Meridian is the key.
13:19While I appreciate what you've done for our strike teams, we're not equipped for a war with the Ket.
13:23They'll be defending Meridian with everything they've got.
13:28This is how we beat them. The Archon doesn't know how to bring Meridian online.
13:32He can't control the technology. I can.
13:36Vaults, maybe. We don't know if Meridian works the same way.
13:39And attacking the Ket, only to find out you're wrong?
13:43Then there's this Sam of yours.
13:45We took a chance letting AI get involved.
13:48Frankly, I'm uncomfortable with just how involved it's become.
13:52I can't support your plan, Ryder.
13:54Then I will.
13:57And so will I.
14:00I agree.
14:02Ryder deserves a chance to try.
14:05I applaud the gesture. But you answer to me. I hope you understand.
14:10We hear you loud and clear.
14:13Good. That will be all.
14:19Why am I surprised?
14:20I don't exactly have a plan B.
14:23There may be a way.
14:26Pathfinder, apologies.
14:28There was an urgent message for you.
14:30They said your brother is awake.
14:32What?
14:33Go. We'll talk later.
14:34In the tech lab.
14:35Scott.
14:50Scott.
14:51You lied about Dad.
14:53You told me he was alive.
14:56Oh, Scott.
15:01Why?
15:01You were in a coma.
15:06I couldn't bring myself to tell you, Scott. Not like that.
15:11So wait until I wake up to hit me with it.
15:14That was better?
15:15I figured at least I'd be here for you when it happened.
15:18Come here.
15:22It's just you and me now, sis.
15:24I know.
15:25But Mom and Dad believed in us.
15:28We can do this.
15:30What's this rumor I'm hearing?
15:32You're the Pathfinder.
15:34Dad's parting gift.
15:35As soon as I get my gear, we'll...
15:39Careful.
15:43No way are you fit for duty, sir.
15:45You need a chance to mend.
15:48Yeah, says who.
15:51The Pathfinder, that's who.
15:53Time to rest up.
15:54That's an order, Specialist Rider.
15:58Bullying rank already.
16:00Better hope I never tell anyone about that year you only ate paste.
16:03Was it first grade, or second?
16:09You can keep talking if you'd like.
16:11Just no arm wrestling.
16:16Rider, this is Pathfinder Ricks.
16:18We have some ideas about Meridian.
16:20Come by the tech lab as soon as possible.
16:23Will do.
16:25Hey.
16:27You feeling out of the loop, I imagine?
16:30A little.
16:30Though I've heard bits and pieces of things from Harry and the med techs.
16:33Sounds pretty serious.
16:38Some speed bumps along the way, but nothing we can't handle.
16:41Uh-huh.
16:42What kind of speed bumps?
16:44There's a race of aliens called the Ket.
16:47They're led by a scary nutjob named Archon who wants to turn all of us into them.
16:50We both want Meridian, which is the heart of an alien terraforming network trying to activate.
16:56We do that, maybe we live.
16:58Look at my big sister being all proactive.
17:02Meanwhile, I'm mastering the art of peeing in a plastic jar.
17:05You should also know, Dad was keeping some secrets from us.
17:12Like what?
17:14Turns out Sam is even smarter than anyone knew.
17:17And Dad juiced his connection to Sam.
17:19It's a lot more powerful than other Pathfinders.
17:21So is mine.
17:23I guess Rank has its privileges.
17:25What was Dad up to?
17:26Dad encrypted some of his memories in Sam.
17:32I've started unlocking them.
17:34What were they?
17:35You and I were there.
17:37So was Mom.
17:38You actually saw her?
17:40It was at the hospital the day she died.
17:43And that reunion dinner she wanted us at so badly.
17:47Right.
17:48Dad was his usual talkative self.
17:50But there was something else.
17:52I saw Dad talk with a benefactor in the Milky Way.
17:55Some initiative bigwig I'd never heard of.
17:58That's news to me.
18:00Yeah.
18:00I'm still hoping I can figure out what it all means.
18:07I thought maybe we could talk about Mom and Dad.
18:10Sure.
18:10What about them?
18:14Thought you might want to know how Dad died.
18:16I was going to ask you.
18:18Habitat 7.
18:20There was this alien terraforming machine that had us stranded.
18:24Dad figured it out and shut it down.
18:27That saved us our ass.
18:29Then all hell broke loose.
18:31My helmet got smashed.
18:32I couldn't breathe.
18:34I was suffocating.
18:35Then Dad gave me his helmet.
18:38He sacrificed himself?
18:41Only one of us could make it.
18:42And he didn't hesitate.
18:44He was a hero.
18:46All those stories about him being an N7.
18:48Kicking ass in the military.
18:50I always thought they were exaggerating.
18:52You should have seen him in action.
18:54Taking out Kett left and right.
18:56It was amazing.
18:57Dad, the bad-ass one-man army.
19:00Pretty good way to remember him.
19:05What do you remember about how they met?
19:07Well, she was in the Alliance, researching early biotic implants.
19:11That's about the time she met Dad.
19:13He was on Earth for N7 training, I think.
19:16He says he swooped in and swept her off her feet.
19:19Had a whole bad-boy-in-uniform vibe that was irresistible.
19:23Dad?
19:24I guess it worked.
19:26They got married.
19:27Then the first contact war started, and he was sent off to fight.
19:31After that, we were born.
19:33And Dad was posted to the Citadel as an attaché.
19:36What do you remember about Mom's biotic research?
19:42Mostly that it's the thing that finally killed her.
19:45Biotics weren't unknown back then.
19:47So were the dangers.
19:49All sorts of rare diseases hit people working around Izo.
19:52Mom was trying to design implants to help people harness their abilities.
19:57She was a pioneer.
19:57And she actually gave it to him.
20:02What do you remember about growing up on the Citadel?
20:05Big space station, chock full of all sorts of aliens.
20:09Scary at first, but pretty soon I was playing laser tag with Turian and Salarian kids.
20:16Looking back on it, maybe that's why I'm here.
20:18The Citadel showed me life has no limit on possibilities.
20:22It made me ask, what else is out there?
20:24What else is out there?
20:26You still think about Mom?
20:37Yeah.
20:38Especially now.
20:40I wonder what she'd say if she could see us.
20:42Dad talked about her before we went on our first mission.
20:46Really?
20:46After she died, Dad seemed to shut down.
20:49He hadn't talked about her in years.
20:50He loved her.
20:53I think he was just lost.
20:54We all were.
20:56Feeling homesick at all?
21:02Still trying to get my sea legs, but I think about what might have been, if everything hadn't gotten screwed up.
21:08What do you think would be different?
21:13Well, while you were looking for Prothean artifacts, I was standing watch over a Mass Effect relay.
21:18Hell of a thing to stare at every day.
21:20I'd dream about what was on the other side, the adventures I would have, the things I would accomplish.
21:27But when everything got screwed up, well, I guess I'll never know.
21:34Screwed up how?
21:36Start with Mom dying.
21:38I never cried so hard.
21:39And Dad?
21:40He was never the same after that.
21:43He put so much into Sam to save her, but...
21:46Well, AI's as illegal as it gets in the Milky Way.
21:50After the Alliance kicked him out for it, everything changed.
21:54Suddenly being Alec Ryder's kid was a black mark.
21:58You and I were never going to live that down.
22:00Well, I'll let you take it easy then.
22:07Yeah, you wouldn't believe how slammed I am.
22:09Got a nap, then doze a bit, then try to catch up on sleep?
22:13It'll get better.
22:15Not before you find that meridian.
22:17I want in.
22:18I'll take pictures.
22:25This is not going to die.
22:27Thanks.
22:29Thanks.
22:30I'm trying to understand this.
22:44Nakmor board of triumphs after a challenge for her title as Krogan Overlord.
22:48Following their exile from the Nexus,
22:50Jorgul Strux claimed he was the rightful Krogan leader in Helios.
22:54The mortar retained her title,
22:55defeating Strux in open combat in front of a roaring crowd on Elidip.
22:59This is HNS.
23:01This place is amazing.
23:03This place is amazing.
23:03So, I have a few minutes left.
23:06I've got a few minutes left.
23:11I want to get ready.
23:16I'm just going to get ready.
23:20I want to get ready.
23:25I'm going to get ready.
23:28I'm going to get ready.
