Shawson Reunion: Horizon

Guardian Armors for Shepard (LE3)

Morning's Versatile Hairstyles for Femshep LE3

There has been so much discourse about those characters but as always, I like them! I'm glad Diana Allers and Khalisah Al-Jilani are war assets and I believe it's entirely deserved.

They bring new recruits, donations, ... And they make sure that people don't forget about Earth.

Khalisah has her issues but one good thing about her is she doesn't care about power, she cares about people. So she will ask hard questions, she won't be intimidated, and that's a good thing during the Reaper War.

Meanwhile, Diana asked to join THE ship that was going to get in the middle of intense battles and fights. That takes a lot of guts and I think she doesn't get enough credit for that decision.

And talking about those two always bring the one who is sadly very much absent from ME3: Emily Wong.

bellara asks neve if her dreams are weird now that they're staying in the fade, then says that she thinks her own dreams are weird but she's not sure if it's because they're in the fade or if she's causing them to be weird because she expects sleeping in the fade to affect them.

Thinking about the fact that Miranda Lawson was ostensibly born before biotics were discovered by humanity, and trying to figure out which is worse:

Miranda's birthday being a fabrication - her being grown in a laboratory and aged - and implanted with false memories. Grunt DOES specifically identify her as 'tank-grown', and accelerated aging could be part of that - and most of her childhood we only ever hear about from her. Her 'birthday' being a retcon when she escapes with an infant Oriana.

Or perhaps Miranda WAS one of the very first biotics.

Either because Henry Lawson just started fucking around with eezo in his progeny experiments, or because of an accident, or whatever.

He's rich, powerful, well-connected, and humanity just discovered both eezo and aliens (and thus Asari), and Henry Has an Idea. A LOT of the traits he specifically engineers for in his offspring DO just so happen to be things that are notable about the Asari...powerful biotics, keen intellects, slower aging, all what humans would consider to be 'female'...). Seeing that potential to preserve his legacy AND evolve humanity...

...hell, given that we never see Oriana use biotics, maybe Miranda's WERE an accident. Or an experiment he didn't want to replicate.

Miranda being a biotic who *wasn't* born one. Henry, discovering their potential, and taking advantage of his child's accelerated healing to force her body to grow the same eezo nodules that most human biotics grow in utero. God, that had to have been painful, especially for a child. Probably for weeks on end. And we know that Henry didn't care about her feelings, or her pain. And we know that the collected litany of things that Henry did and engineered Miranda for left her very sterile - maybe that's part of it.
