Part 42 of the walkthrough of Mass Effect 2 for the PC.
Transcript
00:00Special report on the Taurus.
00:30I need minimal heat increase.
00:41And speed.
00:43I have extremely high performance.
00:51I need a 100% safe move.
00:53Shepard, it's good to see you again.
00:56So, what can I do for you?
00:59How's your own work going?
01:01Everyone needs information, Shepard.
01:04You want to know why I don't drop everything to join you?
01:08I need to get that data.
01:10It should be about friendship, or trust.
01:12But that's not the way it works on Ilium.
01:15Let me know when you hacked those terminals.
01:17Give me that, and I can talk to you.
01:20If it'll help you, I'll take care of it.
01:22When you hacked one, a server will open somewhere nearby for a short time.
01:27You can download data from there, if you hurry.
01:30Thank you, Shepard.
01:31This may help me pay a great debt.
01:35I'll talk to you later, Liara.
01:37Ilium is the gateway to the Traverse.
01:42But is that gate open too wide?
01:46Investment think tanks are noting concerns that new technological discoveries may offset the market balance and cost field workers.
01:52You should try it my way. Look at how the wind's blowing.
02:10I-
02:11I-
02:12Well, I guess it's not like I attacked those colonies.
02:3125. Sell at 25.
02:34No, no, no. You're not hearing me. I wanna buy it up. Buy it all up.
02:39Come on, come on. Give me something.
02:45Do you have anything flashier?
02:48I want something that says,
02:50I own this room.
02:53I own you.
02:55I'll see what we can do, sir.
03:03This is a recall notice.
03:04All users of Koros brand medical ratios are able to discontinue treatment immediately.
03:10Please return your system.
03:11Listen, I know the data is vital to the Korosa family.
03:14Asana Dantius didn't give us time to pass.
03:17Paying your personal defense from supports underarls
03:28and Koros, remotelyT Drives and Des insistently face gak as not.
03:35Me too-
03:36I have no idea you're dealing with.
03:38My prospect to ask them at the controls alone.
03:40I lost a check.
03:41Probably not the place for a team.
03:42What?
03:42Is it easy growing up pureblood? I did some stupid things to get away from the taunts.
03:46Stupid drug users you're laughing at. I might have been one of them.
03:50Did you get the star charts?
03:52Yeah. I had to deal with Irinia though. I feel like I need a shower.
03:56What do you expect? She's a pureblood. They're all like that.
04:06You know Irinia won't even talk to the non-Asari customers.
04:09It's like she's turned pureblood into her religion or something.
04:17Okay, listen. Give Thax a full refund. Do you hear me?
04:21He knows. I don't know how. It doesn't matter. Credit him a full refund now!
04:25And then get your ass someplace safe!
04:28What about you? Go to try and make it as a commando?
04:38Why not? Every Asari has biotics. Might as well use them, right?
04:42Damn, not the hell of a sniper rifle. If you say so.
04:46It's just... we're looking for weapons. Shouldn't you be taking this seriously?
05:04Hey, I'm 60 years old. I didn't mean...
05:06Okay, look. I'll take another look at the contract. Maybe it needs to be reclassified.
05:08Shepard, this is Liara. I've got the data. Come see me when you've got a moment.
05:12Trust me. The goods coming in from the terminus systems are great for business.
05:16I don't know. Some of them seem dangerous.
05:18And come to the fish dog food shack. Tasty fair and skewers under five credits for unlimited time only.
05:22Or for the common order.
05:24Time of trading. Shunko raised fair and steward.
05:26I mean, I mean... okay, look. I'll take another look at the contract.
05:28Maybe it needs to be reclassified.
05:30Shepard, this is Liara. I've got the data. Come see me when you've got a moment.
05:34Trust me. The goods coming in from the terminus systems are great for business.
05:38I don't know. Some of them seem dangerous.
05:40And come to the fish dog food shack. Tasty fair and skewers under five credits for unlimited time only.
05:44Time of trading. Shunko raised fair and steaks. Turian and Florian food options are also available.
05:51It's fun for the whole family. Come to the fish dog food shack.
05:56The division of Elkos Combine.
06:06Ilium sees many human refugees, terminus orphans, and former slaves abandoned by Batarian raiders.
06:12Shepard, it's good to see you again.
06:16Thank you for getting me that system data.
06:19Here, it's not much. But hopefully it will help you on your mission.
06:24Do you remember the Shadow Broker?
06:26With the data you got me, I may be able to find information caches from his agents.
06:31I've got a lot on my plate. Remind me who the Shadow Broker is?
06:37He's the most powerful and dangerous information broker in the galaxy.
06:41No one knows who he is. Given his resources, there's speculation he may actually be a group operating under one name.
06:48Are you on the run from the Shadow Broker? I can help you.
06:53Actually, it would be more accurate to say that the Shadow Broker is on the run from me.
06:58We crossed paths not long after you died. Since then, I've been working to take him down.
07:03With this data, I'm a step closer.
07:05You can't come with me because you're after the Shadow Broker? What if I help you find him?
07:13I'm sorry, Shepard. The galaxy doesn't work that way. I need to find leads, trace information. I need to work. I can't do that on the Normandy. I wish I could.
07:26I've never seen you ready to execute someone in cold blood. What did the Shadow Broker do to you?
07:32I was on a job with a friend. The Shadow Broker's people caught us. My friend didn't escape. I don't know if he's dead or being interrogated.
07:41But I need to find him. I owe him my life. And I need to make the Shadow Broker pay for what he did.
07:53Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
07:55Thanks, Shepard. I will. Now. Is there anything else I can help you with?
08:02I'm looking for Thane Krios. He's supposed to be here on Ilium.
08:06The assassin? Yes. He arrived here a few days ago. My sources tell me he may be targeting a corporate executive, Nisana Dantius.
08:15He contacted a woman named Serena. Serena has an office in the cargo transfer levels. Perhaps she can tell you where Krios is.
08:24Thanks for the help. That's all I needed to know.
08:27Of course. If there's anything else I can help you with, let me know.
08:32I'll talk to you later, Liara.
08:35I'll talk to you later, Liara.
08:39Coming up later today, we release our annual list of Ilium's ten richest people. Are the heavens still bright and sorry blue? Or have the Volus finally rolled to the top?
08:52And don't miss our look at the fashion faux pas at the commerce awards in the last week. All this is more on financial entertainment daily.
09:00Listen, I know the data is vital to the Kurosa family. Nisana Dantius didn't give us time to pack.
09:06Serena?
09:11Who wants to know?
09:13Name's Shepard. Liara Tassoni said you might have information on Thane Krios.
09:18Tanna, cover for me. Over here.
09:26Yeah, I know who Thane Krios is. I might have passed him some information, but I didn't hire him. What do you want to know?
09:33Maybe you could help me find him?
09:35I can tell you, but you won't stop him. When he contacted me, I checked up on him. The man never gives up on a job.
09:42I ran security for Nisana Dantius. Then I found out she was having people killed to cover up her dirty secrets. She fired me when I confronted her. Her loss. I might have been good enough to stop Thane from taking her down.
09:58If you work there, you must have an idea what his opposition will be.
10:01Eclipse Mercs. High-tech killer. Undisciplined, but very well-equipped. They don't much care who they kill, as long as they're paid for it. Thane has quite a reception waiting for him. I told him all I knew. He didn't seem worried.
10:17Why does that name sound familiar?
10:19She was a representative on the Citadel a few years ago.
10:22Right. She had me kill her sister, the slaver.
10:25I thought that was just a rumor. Well, you know what she's capable of then. She has even more power here in Nos Astra. She uses it to keep her friends in check, and her enemies dead.
10:38So where do I find Thane?
10:40The Dantius Towers. Penthouse level of Tower One.
10:55There's a second tower, still under construction. If Thane is smart, he'll go in from there.
11:01It doesn't sound like Nasana's just gonna let me in.
11:06She's as smart as she is paranoid. No one's getting in or out of there without a fight. I can get you in, but you'll only get one shot. You'd better be ready.
11:14Do you know anything else about Thane? Not much. He did say that he's not doing the hit for money. Nobody hired him.
11:22I wanted to know who I was helping, and he said he's doing this job on his own. That he had to restore the balance of his life. I don't know. Maybe he's crazy.
11:31If he takes down Nasana, I don't care why he does it.
11:35You're just offering your help? No strings attached?
11:38You're going to look for Thane. Nasana's mercenaries will try to stop you. At the least, you'll distract her guards. Take a little fire, give Thane a clear shot.
11:47I didn't hire him to kill Nasana, but I won't shed any tears when she gets what's coming to her.
11:54Let's go then.
11:55Good. I'm tired of this crap. We'll go tonight, as soon as the shift workers clear out of Tower Two.
12:22The towers are heavily guarded, and you'll find more resistance closer to the Pentos.
12:46So, this assassin, you planning to stop him?
12:49I'm just here to make sure he survives.
12:50There they are, the Dantius Towers.
13:03You'll have to get up to the second tower and cross the bridge to the Penthouse.
13:06Her mercs will fight you every step, but it's your best chance.
13:09Why don't we just save time and take the shuttle up?
13:12She's got mercs with rockets just waiting for you to try.
13:14You get maybe halfway up before they shot you down.
13:17Besides, your assassin won't go in that way.
13:19Best to go in low.
13:20All right.
13:23Let's do this.
13:24Hold on.
13:25Don't linger too long.
13:46We'll be here to greet you soon enough.
13:51Good luck, Shepard.
13:52doen't linger too long, but you tell me species are enough to keep with the knights behind here.
13:56I'll never go too long.
13:57You're making that move because you're good enough to.'
13:58I guess myaguya, you're coming up and never sighs.
13:58I could' to quickly get you with the knights.
14:10I'll ready.
14:12You're waiting for you.
14:14Go ahead.
14:15I miss you.
14:15I think we got them all!
14:45I think we got them all!
15:15Let's go.
15:45Help.
15:48He's still alive.
15:50I can't feel my legs.
15:51My chest is killing me.
15:53Who did this to you? And why?
15:55We're just night workers.
15:58Nasana sent them after us.
16:00She sent the mechs to round us up, but we didn't hear.
16:04They just started shooting.
16:06They just attacked you?
16:07Yes. They were too slow.
16:10It was horrible.
16:11Everyone screaming.
16:12The mechs said there was no time.
16:15Nasana wanted us out of the way.
16:17Immediately.
16:19Then...
16:20The dogs...
16:23He's not going to make it if we don't help him.
16:26I cannot breathe.
16:28Please, help me.
16:32My chest is...
16:34Here.
16:35That should ease the pain and keep you alive until help arrives.
16:40That helps.
16:42Take your time.
16:45I think I'm better.
16:48Find the other workers.
16:50Help them.
16:52I need to get up to the penthouse.
16:53Any suggestions?
16:55Take the service elevator to the upper floors.
16:58The bridge between the towers isn't finished, but if you're careful, watch out for the mercs.
17:02They're everywhere.
17:03Any idea how many mercs Nasana's got?
17:07A lot.
17:08Dozens of them were wandering around here all day.
17:11You'll find more the further up you go.
17:13Why would Nasana kill her own workers?
17:16To her were expendable.
17:18But...
17:18I didn't realize she was that ruthless.
17:21My friends.
17:22Co-workers.
17:24Slaughtered.
17:25They were jumping off ledges to escape the dogs.
17:27I'll do what I can.
17:39Let's get moving.
17:45Need some cover!
17:46Come on!
17:57One less!
18:12One less to worry about!
18:22One less to worry about!
18:26Get some shot, ready!
18:50Hitting up with a warp!
18:51Oh!
18:52Oh!
18:52Oh!
18:53Oh!
18:53Oh!
18:53Oh!
18:53Oh!
18:54Oh!
18:54Oh!
18:54Oh!
18:55Oh!
18:55Oh!
18:56I'm taking cover!
19:06They're going heavy!
19:26Get down!
19:39Get down!
19:41Come on, that's where I think I'm going.
19:43I'm going to catch him.
19:46I'm going to catch him.
19:49Be careful!
19:53You're going to kill him.
19:56You're going to kill him.
19:58I'm going to kill him.
20:00You're going to kill him.
20:03That's why we're here.
20:06Take it!
20:09Back assistance engaged.
20:12Keep going.
20:14There we go!
20:17There we go!
20:19There we go!
20:29Nice work!
