The fun thing about Cerberus is that you can just insert asshole behavior, and it fits so well :)

>Also, Gryph and Zoner took out TIM? Wow.

My mental image has Ginny Shepard being the one that kicked down his door. Probably because I want to do that so badly in ME3.

Going back to Mass Effect 2 for a bit, I can't do the final leg of the suicide mission without Miranda in my squad, simply because at the end, she lays a burn upon TIM so epic that it should've been written in purple type.

"Yeah, one of you is pretty much fucked."

I keep flashing back to that one scene in Hot Shots! where the writer practically clubs the audience over the head with the fact that one of the pilots (callsign "Dead Meat", and it goes downhill from there) is about to die.

This. I suspect that Tali will be returning to her fleet with the location of the Halo as her prize, and the Quarians will have a home again... one that they might have built in the first place, given the mysterious biocompatibility.

But, yes, I can imagine a significant faction of quarians would be interested in occupying and colonizing it. There's still the attendant troubles with settlement that can only be remedied with their home planet to consider however, the faction of society that wants to retake Rannoch from the Geth, and the faction that feels it is appropriate to wander as a fleet of nomads for e'er more. But those lot can, I dunno, join up with the freespacers.

I like to imagine there's a reasonably sized freespacer expat community of quarians, even if they get tired of explaining how the Migrant Fleet is different.

LoL. I'll respond to the other post here. Yeaaap, Kei showing up was pretty intense. In a way, Exile is like the old Incredible Hulk TV show; Only this time, the Hulk is chasing Bruce banner between farming jobs.

It really has a lot more in common with The Incredible Hulk's spiritual ancestor, The Fugitive.

What, an episode every 12-14 hours is too slow for you? I made people wait two or three days for some parts of Manhunt, and they've been waiting several years for the end of Rogue Squadron: Project Supernova. (Yeah, by the way, guys, really sorry about that. I completely lost the thread midway through the big dogfight scene and just... yeah. I'll get back to it, I swear.)

But seriously, I didn't expect a pace this fast, and so far it's been right in the sweet spot where I am hungry for more, yet it is a pleasant surprise when more suddenly appears. I was dubious at first as I normally like to read stories in one monolithic chunk, but this seems to be working pretty well.

Thanks for all your hard work, and that of the Suspects.

I think of it as two dining experiences:

The monolithic sculptures of narrative that we've previously had remind me of those fine, long Indian/Nepalese dinners where a large thali is placed in front of me, replete with a balanced assortment of meats, grains, lentils, sauces and other tasty morsels. I can leisurely enjoy each gastronomic combination without having to get up to the buffet table or even reach across the table for another plate. It's all there in front of me, and I can enjoy it all at once, or a bit at a time.

On the other hand, the release rate of these Star-Crossed installments brings to mind the traditional celebratory Chinese banquet, where the first course of soup arrives after 20 minutes, followed by a platter of sliced salumi (15 minutes later), then a casserole of stewed sea cucumber and abalone with shiitake (10 minutes later), followed by crispy walnut prawns and broiled quail (5 minutes apart), which are both a precursor to roast Peking duck with mantou buns (10 minutes later), then braised pork spareribs (7 minutes) and twice-fried velveted beef (10 minutes) -- and finally, whole steamed fish with golden-fried rice (there is no room on the table). Even before the prior offering gets a complete revolution on the lazy Susan, the servers return to tip the scales with another heaping platter. But amidst the precariously stacked platters and the chaotic mixed reach of diners (trying to clear the prior dish to make room for the next one), everyone is thoroughly enjoying themselves and are loving it every step of the way.

So, yeah. Keep it coming.

And now I'm hungry again,
-T.Z.
