#mass effect comics

Local Man forgets the "proposal" part of marriage. More at 11.

Dialogue Prompt #18: "I had a dream about you."

"Do you think dreams have meaning?"

She looked up from her datapad to find him looking down at her. She didn't answer right away; she'd never really given her dreams much deep thought. Most of her dreams didn't really bear thinking about.

"Yeah," she said slowly. Reluctantly. She'd rather keep pretending that dreams were just neurons firing randomly in the brain, but they were always honest with each other.

"I think dreams are our brains' way of communicating to us directly, in our own language. I think that's why explaining them to other people can be so hard. They'd have to be fluent in our... brain language. To really understand."

He looked at her thoughtfully for the briefest moment before continuing.

"I had a dream about you."

Recently I've been delving into the Mass Effect comics, and I was pretty dismayed to learn that there's absolutely no Table of Contents as well as a majority of the stories being out of order. So, I thought I'd share this resource on the best order for reading each story along with the games. This was from a lovely thread on reddit which I'll also link below!
