[GMV] "The Flight" a Tempest Tribute / Mass Effect Andromeda
I'm a little late, but in my defense I was preparing THIS, and since it's my first REAL game music video it took me a while to put it together, but I have to say I'm satisfied with the result. I've been wanting to make a video like this for a long time. All those GB of recordings from the PlayStation weren't in vain. 🥹

Here we are.
Upon entering the orbit of Eos SAM spotted an anomaly that the standard sensors of the Initiative never detected. It could be a signal from an atmospheric control device like the one my father activated on Habitat 7, but before we make mistakes we need to investigate further.
Landing was not easy at all.
The planet's surface is constantly lashed by sandstorms and the air is saturated with radiation. We had to wait the opening of a safe passage before starting the descent, but we still suffered a lot of turbulence. We stopped near Site 1: Promise. A name that has unfortunately been disillusioned.
It is like entering a ghost town. There is an unnatural silence.
The entire planet is a desert and desolate land, incompatible with life, and yet they had to try. They tried in every way, but in the end they had to give up. The luckiest were evacuated, the others… slaughtered by kett, burned by radiation, or overwhelmed by hunger and dehydration.
The outpost is protected thanks to energy pylons that delimit its perimeter and filter the most harmful radiation, but they deteriorate quickly - we deduced this from the serial number - several of them had to be changed. The huge circular purifier for the production of drinking water was completely deformed and destroyed by storms, making it completely unusable. The kett that patrol the planet wasted no time: they kept the first settlers under control from afar, observed them, studied them, waiting for the right moment to strike and then attacked them by surprise. They had no escape.
It was the first time that the Initiative came into contact with them.
Greetings to First Contact! This is a real declaration of war!
This was the fate of Site 2: Resilience. Again, a name that almost sounds like a hoax. Massacred, by a Fiend, a genetically modified beast that the kett carry around as if it were a tank. Killed, before they could even get started. Exterminated, like insects.
This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
We all knew it wasn't going to be easy, that there would be problems.
Heck! We left everything we knew and that was "normal" for us to face the unknown and the adventure. We weren't so naive to think we wouldn't encounter hostile races. The Batarians have never been exactly friendly, with anyone, and even the Turians, with the First Contact War, should have prepared us for a possible confrontation with an unknown race. But in the Milky Way we had the Council and the Alliance covering our backs. And now? What are we? Families, with children, simple civilians, technicians and scientists, we set out to discover new worlds and go beyond borders, not to conquer and fight. We are explorers, not soldiers! We are trained to defend ourselves, not to attack. But if there is no possibility of dialogue with these new aliens (and I see no room for improvement in the future), perhaps we will have to reconsider our priorities.
Speaking of priorities: we were able to reactivate the generator and thanks to the settlement's antenna we were able to locate the origin of the signal. We will leave tomorrow morning at dawn, as soon as we have finished exploring the area, gathering information and useful stuff for the next trip. It's getting dark and I don't think it's a good idea to venture outside the protective shield perimeter at night.
The good news is that we managed to get a ride: a Nomad ND1, 6-wheel drive, kinetic barriers, life support and a shield capable of protecting us from radiation. I can't wait to try it out to see if it can keep up with the good old Mako M35!
Tempest. Pathfinder's quarters. On the way to Eos.
🎶 Whatever it Takes - Imagine Dragons
As we can't use mass relays for the shifts between a system to another, like we'd have done in the Milky Way, in the Andromeda Galaxy we have to rely only on ours spaceships engines. Travel times are getting longer, but fortunately the Tempest is the fastest and most agile ship of the Initiative, so we are able to reach Habitat 1 in less than a week. We probably would have been able to get there sooner if Kallo hadn't had to make numerous evasive maneuvers to escape the Scourge's offshoots along the way.
In about 26 hours we will reach the Pytheas system and by then it shouldn't take long to reach the planet.
In these days I have had the opportunity to explore the ship from stern to bow and every corner has managed to enchant me. There is really everything you need to analyze and study all that Andromeda will offer us: flora, fauna, artifacts, new technologies! I even have a private cabin! (I've already said this, right?)
I also got to know the crew. If we need to work together for the good of us all we must do it well, as a team, and the best way to do this is to get to know each other.
First of all I need to know the on board crew: the pilot, the mechanic, the scientist, the doctor. They are essential support figures, without which it would not be possible to complete any mission. They keep the Tempest ready for the action and 100% efficient and take care of analyzing the samples we bring on board, they maintain active communications with the Nexus and they take care of coordinating the informations between my team and those of the leaders of the Initiative.
Gil tried to explain to me in the most elementary words possible how the engine works, which reproduces the ODSY of the arks on a smaller scale. Something related to the static energy accumulated while traveling and used to recharge the ship itself. I do not know. He tried hard, but I've never been good with technicalities. I prefer practice to theory.
Kallo, on the other hand, told me some curious anecdotes about his creation. He was part of the team in charge of designing and building the Tempest in the Milky Way and he left with her aboard the Nexus to follow her footsteps, while the rest of the group stayed behind. In a certain way it's like if he is a living legacy of the past. Couldn't have nothing better, after all, he was the testing pilot, he practiced with her a lot so he knows how she works.
The most curious thing, which both confirmed to me, is that the Tempest's cloacking system is based from the technical specifications of the Normandy SR-1's IES stealth system, but I know for sure that those projects are covered by military secrecy, so I don't understand how the Initiative could get their hands on them. Maybe my father has something to do with it? Maybe some of his old contacts in the N7? What else are you hiding from me, old man? AH! Damn! I wish I had you here now so I can choke you with my hands!
I still hold a grudge against my father for what he did to me.
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to him for saving my life, but I also wish he hadn't burdened me with this HUGE responsibility. Fortunately, SAM has shown himself to be an excellent support several times, often also emotional, in certain ways, while not being able to show any emotion. Even if he's very sophisticated, he's still an AI, but sharing my father's body and mind for years has allowed him to share with me thoughts able to clarify many of my doubts about him and the relationship he had with us: me, Scott and even mum.
The more time passes, the more I feel I can do it!
This sense of oppression is gradually fading, and I must also thank the rest of my team for this.
Lexi now demands that I have a psychoanalysis session every day, arguing that it's essential to deal with mourn, and I, even if reluctantly, let her do it, because I am sure that my tangled mind is an interesting subject of study for her.
With Suvi we had some interesting scientific discussions, she showed me the results of the researches conducted so far by the Nexus and she passed me all the data of what we know so far about the Scourge. She is ... strange ... I thought I was strange, but she manages to be extremely intelligent and at the same time tremendously naive. She is convinced that behind the creation of the cosmos there is the hand of a god. Well, who am I to contradict her? Everyone is free to believe in what they want, as long as it doesn't interfere with their work.
Liam and Cora are helping me with the reports to send to the Nexus and together we analyze strategies and tactics to use to better prepare ourselves for what we have to face on Eos. Liam's experience with the Crisis Unit is proving particularly useful in this context of uncertainty, where anything that can go wrong surely will. And Cora, well, I understand why dad chose her as his second-in-command: she was part of a team of Asari Commando, Thessia's military and biotic combat excellence, backed by centuries of tactics and experience.
And then there is Vetra.
To have a smuggler's past she is very honest and crystal clear. I enjoy spending time with her. She is a tough girl who grew up alone, away from Palaven and the rest of the turian hierarchy (and I don't know how bad that can be), with a younger sister to raise, Sid. She told me what happened to the Nexus in the months before the arrival of the Hyperion: the clash with the Scourge, the chaos, the mutiny, the expulsion of the exiles, the failure of the first outposts. But she also told me amusing anecdotes, such as when she began retrieving special components for Kesh in the Milky Way - once, twice, three, four times - until she found out about the existence of the Andromeda Initiative and joined her in this undertaking, hoping for a better future - like many of us.
Sometimes, if I need to let off steam, I go to see her down in the hangar and she is willing to listen to me and my problems. On the contrary, she does not really like talking about herself, I have understood this by now, but I know how to be very patient, as well as very curious, and I am sure that sooner or later she too will confide in me. For the moment, I'm just happy to gossip with her about Addison's and Tann's.
