I'm just imagining the horror some people will have if they win and get to go home, but stick around because time in their universe is frozen while they're here.
Platinum
except that'll stop once they vanish, so they'll meander on home a month or two later and find out that they've been straight up gone
Platinum
for however they lagged around in the Legionverse after Chronoblivion's handled
6LilacMimeLions
can the up write shepard a note for those few days she was technically awol pls
Platinum
think of the guys who were in the middle of a pitched firefight who just vanished.
Platinum
I think they'll forgive Shep when she rolls in with a small army, tho
6LilacMimeLions
still technically awol
6LilacMimeLions
at least it wasn't working with terrorists this time
Platinum
Trie
Platinum
True
Platinum
We need to get more America/Shepard threads going, 'cause if they could get a good conversation going about things, there might be a mutually beneficial arrangement to be made.
6LilacMimeLions
uh she's not so sure she wants judges interacting with
6LilacMimeLions
um
6LilacMimeLions
anyone
6LilacMimeLions
but yes, more threads
6LilacMimeLions
is she in eye for an eye
6LilacMimeLions
"SURRENDER OR DIE"
"beeny!"
"sorry, force of habit"
Platinum
look, a little discipline never hurt anyone shepard
Platinum
Nah, I'd rather not have America try to arrest the Spectre.
Platinum
Besides, she already said she'd be on Colu 'cause Wash pissed her off.
Platinum
But, yeah, after it's all over, like.
America: So you said you had some useful technology?
Shepard: Y...eah?
America: I've got an army. You have tech and a robot issue. Let's talk.
6LilacMimeLions
there are absolutely no rules in mass effect against uplift/selling high tech to other civilizations
Platinum
Rich knows about this
Platinum
But I don't think anyone else does
Platinum
But America's got multiple hard drives in her room, filled with stuff on medical technology, terraforming, radiation neutralization tech, etc.
6LilacMimeLions
oh yeah cortana has just been stuffing herself full of science
Platinum
Cortana probably knows, too, come to think of it.
Platinum
I think she'd notice that much data getting copied.
6LilacMimeLions
based on some convos they've had cortana would have known to pay attention
6LilacMimeLions
shepard would be copying tech except she doesn't have her omni-tool
Platinum
look, america's world is a radioactive hellhole and if she can stealacquire some knowledge to fix that and put Mega-City One into a bargaining position with the rest of the Mega Cities, she will.
6LilacMimeLions
instead she's just gonna ask brainy to come outsmart the reapers
Platinum
America's gonna walk out with the hard drives and a display pad and let Tek-Division figure out how to convert files.
6LilacMimeLions
but yeah shepard could put her in touch with the salarians (and some of the more monetarily-motivated asari)
6LilacMimeLions
the turians would get along pretty well with her but if she wants environmental tech the salarians and the asari are better bets
6LilacMimeLions
the turians mostly build weapons
Platinum
As long as people are willing to listen to her and not whine about their perception of her politics, she's perfectly capable of being diplomatic.
6LilacMimeLions
the salarians are relentlessly curious pragmatists and the asari only pretend to moral superiority
Platinum
Also, nothing says 'diplomatic' like "I have the authority to drag in a few hundred warships to help with this 'Reaper' problem"
6LilacMimeLions
the sad part is the reapers will have to attack before anyone listens to shepard
Platinum
nah, but considering shep's world has a bunch of, like.
Platinum
rail gun pistols
Platinum
i think they'd be willing to chat with the turians, too
6LilacMimeLions
they're all based on the mass effect so they have to make sure it works in america's universe, too
Platinum
"Well, this didn't work. Got anything else?"
Platinum
idk if the mass effect would work or not. Dredd's a sci-fi comic, everything works on handwavium
6LilacMimeLions
it would, it's totally applied bullshittium
Platinum
I mean, we're supposed to believe that Lawgivers fire gyrojet rounds propelled by rocket fuel
6LilacMimeLions
you run an electric current through this exotic matter they call "element zero" and it changes the mass of an object
Platinum
I think the two most ridiculous weapons I've seen from Dredd haven't been the Lawgivers, but the stub guns and whatever the Sovs were using in the first Lunar War.
Platinum
Stub guns fire laser beams that cut through absolutely anything, but they tend to overheat and explode
Platinum
And the Sovs had guns that could fire through walls and armor and people, and explode at a certain point.
6LilacMimeLions
yeah if it's comics physics there's no reason mass effect stuff wouldn't work
Platinum
it is absolutely comics physics
6LilacMimeLions
the thing about the reapers is, they're only prepared to fight civilizations whose tech is based on their own
6LilacMimeLions
so if shepard starts pulling in a bunch of different universes they won't have as much of an advantage
Platinum
idk if the Turians would be hot about those guns, but America'd offer them anyway
6LilacMimeLions
shepard's just like...pls don't arm the turians better than us
6LilacMimeLions
the alliance can't produce the same volume as the turians, but since america's only trying to equip one (large, granted) city on one planet, that's less of an issue
6LilacMimeLions
(when they made first contact, humans had the second biggest military fleet in the galaxy, despite having no one to fight)
6LilacMimeLions
(the council was like "SHIT DON'T PISS THEM OFF")
Platinum
sounds like a good idea to me
Platinum
America's just like
Platinum
Well, Shepard, your mass effect guns are piss useless for law enforcement, but they'll do fine for our military.
6LilacMimeLions
yeah i honestly have no idea how c-sec actually does its thing
6LilacMimeLions
since the guns are super super extra lethal
Platinum
Maybe crooks usually surrender whenever you drop their personal shields?
6LilacMimeLions
i didn't actually get the sense that random street thugs could afford shields
Roll Fizzlebeef
I just had the horrible idea of Shepard borrowing a couple of Proton Packs and crossing the streams to blow up Harbinger.
6LilacMimeLions
...hey, she'll try it
6LilacMimeLions
maybe juice up the power source because it's kinda unwieldy
6LilacMimeLions
impressive for 200 years ago though!
6LilacMimeLions
"hey tali, can you make this cooler?" "absolutely"
Platinum
but cooler can't be made without the big gete star
CJ
... god damn it, I was loving this right up until then
Platinum
sru
Platinum
*sry
CJ
Not because a DBZ reference, but because it's wrong
Platinum
I got my nerd all up in your sci-fi crossover
CJ
The Big Gete Star only made metal cooler, Plat, Cooler existed before then
Platinum
but the big gete star allows him to cheat memes, how can this be?
