I just stumbled out of bed at like 6:30 in the morning and I'm still feeling kind of... meta, I guess.

The Miranda reveal was kind of surprising, but made everything else make a lot more sense in retrospective. Nicely done.

Kind of automatically trying to match up the plot points from the source here. That'll be Admiral Kahoku, stuff from the second game, and... that poisoning attempt done by Earthborn Shepards's old gang?

Also, Gryph and Zoner took out TIM? Wow.

"We're the important characters, you didn't even have a name until one scene ago."

(I tend to do many fourth-wall breaking comments like that while playing Mass Effect. Just my last playthrough, on Virmire when Shepard said "Stay sharp and do your best work and we'll all get through this alive", I felt compelled to add, "Except you, Kaiden.")
