Tela Vasir - Shadow Broker DLC, Mass Effect 2 - Cosplay. Commander Shepard, Hahne Kedar armor - Mass Effect 3. Jack, Subject Zero, loyalty outfit - Mass. Outfitted with extremely dense Atlas Heavy Armor, the strongest ship armor created by the citadel community, and powerful Omnicore Shielding, Shield ships are near-indestructable. All this heavy defense slows the ship almost to the level of a carrier but the ship makes up for it with its armament. I activated a keyboard app on Tela's Tool and adjusted the audio settings to my armor. And with a thought of biotic power I crushed the tracker on my own Tool to scrap. Omapflash windows 7. Within ten seconds, Tela's Omni-Tool sprang to life, the Shadow Broker's modulated growl coming from the speaker.

The asari world ofIllium isn't exactly the kind of place you go to for a vacation. Dueto the high intensity heat on the surface, many of the colonies areestablished in arcology skyscrapers to make it livable, so good luckrelaxing and going to the beach. In fact, the planet's greatersignificance in the galaxy is as an entrepol between the lawlesschaos of the Terminus Systems and the Asari Republics. It's also aplace meant for asari elites, complete with palatial estates full ofluxury and some of the best surveillance around. Their prime commerceis either biotic-oriented pharmaceuticals, or information brokeringfor high-end corporate maneuvering.
Me3explorer. You get to chase down Tela Vasir in a taxi that luckily handles far better than the derided Mako from the first game, making this a fun little sequence. Although gameplay in Lair of the Shadow Broker really excels during the battle on the exterior of the Shadow Broker's ship. Using biotic powers to fling the Shadow Broker's agents into the air. Two words: Tech Armor. Although I do want to give a special mention to the Vanguard simply because of the Tela Vasir fight in shadowbroker. It is a lot of fun as a Vanguard. In Mass Effect 3 it's the sentinel again. Because this time I can stack Tech Armor with Barrier and spec my throws to have no cool down when the set off a biotic explosion.
And Jack and I wereshowing up to look for a needle in a haystack.
It didn't go well.
Despite my pull asthe head of a very young but ambitious weapons development company, Iwasn't given the time of day. Other information brokers had waitinglines going as far back as twenty years and you needed a form ofmembership with them. Some just flat out didn't like my bullheadedshort-term approach to business and saw me as a major financialliability. There was even one who threw in a barb that my choice ofbusiness dress was gaudy and uncoordinated. Ouch.
It was at a smallcafe where we were grabbing a drink where we caught a lucky break.
'Do these girlsever not think their shit doesn't smell?' Jack spat, nursing somegreen fizzling soda.
'What do youexpect? They think in terms of centuries and decades, not years andmonths. Playing the long game is their whole thing. Plus it makesthem more demanding of their clientele and staff.' I mentioned,taking small sips from a cup of some local soup. Tastes like anespecially peppery lobster bisque curiously enough.
'Oh yeah, sureI'll take the time aside to rack up fifteen different Masters degreesand get right to kissing your ass for money.' she rolled her eyes.A moment later though she drew her attention back to me. 'I mean,no offense blue. You're not like these others. I-'
I waved my hand andgave a small smile, 'Don't worry I know what you mean, Jack.' Shesmiled back and went back to her soft drink.
Now was myopportunity. I had to tell her the truth.
'Uhh Jack. Thereis something I have been meaning to tell you.' she turned to lookat me, her expression curious with a mix of cold defense. 'Therehas been something about me that I think you need to know.' My lipsstarted to get dry. Dammit why is this getting so hard? Just tell heryou're some interdimensional visitor from another world already ripthe band-aid off! Tell the closest thing to a long-time friend thisbig bombshell that might fundamentally alter your relationshipforever.
'You have a crushon me. Yeah, I noticed, blue. You aren't exactly subtle about it andI told you already, not interested.' Jack replied.
'That's not thething!' I blurted out.
'I am actually-'
'Variza T'Som!'A third voice bellowed from across the cafe.
I turned towards thesource of the shout, scrunched up in anger. Who the hell had thespine to interrupt this conversation?
A dark green asariapparently. My frustration dissipated immediately. She quickly satdown at our table, her face noticeably giddy.
'I never thoughtI'd see you again and officially thank you for what you did back onFeros!' she said, holding out a hand to me.
'Oh right, theThorian. Shiala right?' I shook her hand lightly while trying tosmile through gritted teeth.
'Yeah. Thank thegoddess I bumped into you. ExoGeni has been making some interestingstrides in their research after that incident, half of which wouldn'thave been possible if you didn't save as many colonists as youcould.'
'Still makes myskin crawl that that giant thing was mind-controlling people andcranked out clones of you to defend itself.' Jack replied, rubbingher arms nervously.
'Speaking ofwhich, the uhhh,' I did a quick gesture pointing at Shiala's greenskin.
'Oh right,aftereffect of that plant monster messing with me. I'm..oddlypopular now because of it.' she mused, looking at her right handwistfully.
'So, what exactlyare you doing here now? Shouldn't you be busy with security orworking on some R&D project or something?' I asked.
'Well that's thething. I've been meaning to get in contact with Commander Shepardafter things winded down from the battle of the Citadel and haven'tbeen able to. I wanted a way to thank him and his crew for what theytried to do on Zhu's Hope, yet here are two members of his old crewright here.' Shiala explained.
Jack and I tradedlooks.
'Can you help usfind a certain information trafficker?'
Shiala's contacts atExoGeni paid off. Feron was currently living at a temporary penthousein Nos Astra, Illium's capital city. Made plenty of sense since theplace was full of surveillance to both cover his tracks and cribinformation for his employers. I made sure Jack violated somespeeding laws getting us there, we already lost a day or so gettingto Illium anyway.
After reaching thelanding pad and suiting up with armor and weapons ready, concealedand with safeties on of course, we were introduced to a prettygrizzly sight. The doors were torn off their hinges with blasterfire, several plate glass windows shattered. The only light sourcebeing the bright neon signs of nearby buildings and the occasionalshuttle lights casting dark shadows across the interior.
I turned to Jack.'I'll take point. This new armor design should be able to tank mostof what an infiltrator might have on him.'
'Your funeral,blue.' she quipped, readying her pistol and watching my six.
I stepped throughthe threshold and noticed something about the windows. No shards onthe floor; they were blown out from the inside. The living room wasclear.
I motioned to Jack,'Look for signs of a struggle.'
She moved up andstarted scanning the area. I slowly continued to what appeared to beFeron's bedroom. Sheets thrown off and personal belongings scatteredor broken. It was also where I saw a figure in the dark aggressivelyopening up a dresser drawer, desperately searching for somethingimportant.
'Don't move.' Ispoke firmly, readying my pistol and taking a firing stance. Thefigure froze.
'Back away fromthe dresser and head towards me. Slowly.' The figure slowlycomplied. Hands up; actions slow and deliberate.
She then turned onher heel and quickly drew a pistol from a hip holster and firedseveral rounds. My shields resisted them and my armor caught severalof the blows, all while I focused my pistol and disarmed my opponentwith a single pull of the trigger. Four bangs, four flashes of thebarrels, and the flying visage of the pistol through the air happenedwithin roughly two seconds. I knew there was a reason why I installedrecoil dampeners in the arm guards.
'Alright, gimmeone good reason why I shouldn't put one in your skull right now?' Idemanded, keeping my distance while focusing my gun on my would-beassailant's head.
The hotheadedwarrior stepped into the neon light. She was an asari. Purple-skinnedand wearing some pretty impressive dark blue armor.
'Asari captainTela Vasir, Council's Special Operations Tactics and Reconnaissance'she replied.
'Blue, we have abit of a problem.' Jack declared from a room adjacent.
'Oh I'm aware.'I muttered under my breath.
'I was sent hereto investigate a disturbance. Shots being fired, furniture thrownout, signs of a struggle.' Tela replied. 'Something that you'reactively infringing upon.'
I smiled slightly.'So you were digging through Feron's unmentionables looking forevidence about a shooting?'
'Might have been alover's quarrel. Never rule out any possibility.' She repliedquickly.
'Seriously, blue,things just got complicated.' Jack projected again.
Yeah, it did.
'Well, at leastyou can kill two birds with one stone now, right Tela?' I replied,holding up my Omni-Tool.
Tela slowly smiled.
'Well, good toknow you still have some common sense after all, Miss T'Som.'
'Yeah..I do.'Then I shot Tela in the face, her body falling over in a crumpledpile.
Just in time forJack to show up looking utterly shocked.
'Variza, what thefuck!?' she yelled.
'You just killed aSpectre!' Another voice declared from nearby.
Tela Vasir Armory
'She was theShadow Broker's contact and was looking for information on Feron.Clearly that means he was on to something. Trust me, I know what I'mtalking abo-' I stopped mid-sentence, the fact that there was nowthree people in the room finally registering.
I turned and sawLiara T'Soni, wearing a practical flexible white and blue suit ofarmor with long coat, holding a pistol to Jack's back.
'Goddess..you'remaking contact with the Shadow Broker as well?' Liara asked. 'Wait,she was working for him? We were looking for Feron because he claimedto have a contact with a middleman for the Shadow Broker.'
'Check herOmni-Tool, chances are you'll find a blocked contact with the infoyou need.' I replied casually.
'Wait a minute..Variza?' Liara gasped in recognition, slowly releasing Jack fromcaptivity.
'Yeah, it's me.'I said as I removed Tela's Omni-Tool. I then tossed the Tool to Jack.
'See what you cando with it, I'm gonna keep searching for signs of Feron.' Igestured to her.
Jack gave me a quickthumbs-up and began to tinker. Which left me and Liara alone..near afresh corpse. It's weird how despite being in a new world in thesomewhat distant future I somehow manage to find new levels ofawkward situation.
'So..I guess theCrucible Project is coming along nicely?' I asked while searchingbetween couch cushions.
'Technically it'sa joint venture between the Alliance, the Turian Navy andrepresentatives of the Quarian Flotilla Fleet, I'm just on hand asconsultant. I've been actually trying to negotiate with some of thewealthy asari elite to assist in the funding of the project. TheHephaestus Initiative was just a stopgap after all if you knowanything about quantitative easing.' She rattled off in a clinicaltone.
'Wait, isn't thatbasically an economic nuclear button?' I replied to her laststatement, looking back in surprise. She didn't seem to get it. 'Youknow..basically make galactic credits worthless?'
'Well, the Councilwas so swayed by what you and Shepard pulled off at the Citadel theywere willing to deal with something that devastating after they dealtwith the Reapers.'
'Oh..wellthat's..practical of them.' I managed to choke out.
'Alright I got abig question.' Jack finally interjected, thank you you beautifullytactless tough girl, 'how come I'm the one trying to crack aSpectre's Omni-Tool when there are literally two centuries-old bluewomen with way more experience than me sitting right here!?' Shebarked.
'Good point, Jack.Variza, you get to work on the Tool, the two of us will search therest of Feron's place. Should be a pretty basic code break if she wasplanning on getting in contact with the Broker.' Liara mentioned.Jack chucked the Tool at me with a grin on her face.
'Yeah smart assget to it.' she added.
'Yeah..justa..simple code break..' I muttered under my breath looking at theglowing orange tool of floating icons, bits of plastic, and nothingeven remotely looking like a simple DOS screen.
The next fiveminutes were beyond annoying. Tapping, swiping, poking and proddingall to no avail, all while Jack and Liara poured over Feron'spenthouse. Then I got a terrible idea as I caught a glimpse of my ownOmni-Tool in my peripheral vision.
I can't figure outhow to crack Tela's Omni-Tool and dig into her contact info on theBroker, but I can rip off the tracker on my own Tool and goad theBroker into calling the Tool himself. Assuming that the trackerwasn't also keeping tabs on me and the others, which I am slow tobelieve since we haven't been utterly swarmed by his personal deathsquad the minute I put down Tela, it would be the perfect way to atleast narrow down or even play personal psychology with the Brokerand get information.
But it would alsodoom my company to his agenda and leave me with nothing before theReapers show up. It was another longshot of a Hail Mary.
And it's the bestidea I got.
'I think I mighthave cracked this guys, anything on your end?' I called out, myeyes darting back and forth between the Tools.
'Yeah, we found avid chit hidden behind the monitor. Labeled as 'Contingency,' soI think that's worth a watch.' Jack replied.
I took a deepbreath. 'Alright..I got a way to get some info, but you're notgonna like it.' I activated a keyboard app on Tela's Tool andadjusted the audio settings to my armor.
And with a thoughtof biotic power I crushed the tracker on my own Tool to scrap.
Within ten seconds,Tela's Omni-Tool sprang to life, the Shadow Broker's modulated growlcoming from the speaker.
'Tela Vasir, itappears that Miss T'Som has chosen poorly. Send your forces toeliminate her immediately and bring her Omni-Tool to my base. I havealready begun acquiring her company.'
I put up a hand tosilence Liara and Jack and began typing into the Tool.
She is in theroom with me, I'll handle it. Which rendezvous point should I use?
'Myoutpost on Hagalaz. I shall forward you our new coordinates for youto dock safely through the storm. I expect you soon.'
Thenthe Tool went silent.
'Liara,planet Hagalaz ring any bells to you?' I replied, cutting off theaudio feedback.
Tela Vasir Armored
'It'sa garden world in the Sowlio system I think.' Liara mentions.
'Good,some coordinates are gonna pop up soon, copy them and we gotourselves a destination.' I said with a smile, tossing her theorange glowing device.
'Alright,'Liara commented with a skeptical eyebrow raised. There was a briefmoment of silence, 'And what about the red alert message saying'Dead Switch Activated, Kill on Sight?'
Ididn't even have time to declare 'oh shit' before the bullets androckets started flying.
Playing Mass Effect 2 I had this profound feeling of being overdressed the whole time.Much like when I was little and my mom would make me wear a jacket and tie for our family christmas parties every year. All my cousins would show up in like a sweatshirt and jeans. Everyone made funna me for being all dressed up, every year!
In ME 1 everyone wore body armor so I figured, 'okay. everyone's doing it, I guess I have to also.' But why in ME2 (when other crew members get to wear regular 'futurey' clothing) are we still trapped in head to toe, full body armor?
I understand that it saves Bioware having to make that many more models to fit to a male and female shepard. I also understand a soldier, sentinel etc wearing this armor. Nevertheless I feel that if Miranda can prance around in latex, and Jack can just wear like. what. suspenders?- that it's safe to say biotics and such should be able to wear lighter armor, so we can vary up the styles of our character.
In short: It's clear from the type of people we have in our group, that it doesn't take full body armor to save the day. So why force us to wear it?
To quote my friend Serge from Beverly Hills Cop Three, I feel my (armor) should adhere to 'the three P's: Protection, prestige, and pretty!' I wanna look good when I'm saving the universe, dammit!
Tela Vasir Armor Of God
Heck, getting new clothing/armor in an rpg is always a huge part of the fun.Tela Vasir
I know that this is a slightly different style of rpg, but I think a lot of us would still appreciate not having to be in full battle gear, if our class isn't a heavy armor-type of class.Any thoughts?
