00:00up on the ceiling more holding containers there must be hundreds of them how many do you think
00:12are full too many i detect no signs of life in the pot shepherd it is probable the victims
00:17inside died when the ship lost primary power
00:20so
00:50now what's this
01:08commander you gotta hear this on a hunch i asked ed to run an analysis on this ship
01:12i compared the em profile against data recorded by the original normandy two years ago
01:17they are an exact match the same ship dogging me for two years
01:22way beyond coincidence something doesn't add up commander watch your back
01:46so
01:50fascinating they could take every human in the terminus systems and not have enough to fill
01:56these pods only one conclusion collectors targeting earth not if we stop them
02:11so
02:25There. Control panel on the platform.
02:42Where are the bodies of the Collector crew?
02:45Careful, Shepard. Something doesn't feel right about this.
02:48E.D., I'm setting up a bridge between you and the Collector ship. See if you can get anything useful from the data banks.
03:04Data mine in progress, Shepard.
03:05Ah, that can't be good.
03:28Everyone's all right, Joker. What just happened?
03:31Major power search. Everything went dark, but we're back up now.
03:34I managed to divert the majority of the overload to non-critical systems.
03:38Shepard, it was not a malfunction. This was a trap.
03:52We need a little help here, E.D.
03:54I am having trouble maintaining connection. There's someone else in the system.
04:04Connection re-established. I need to finish the download before I can override any systems.
04:17Then you'd better get it done fast, E.D.
04:18Hostiles coming. Suggest we prepare.
04:20Now let's finish you off.
04:38Our power is matched.
04:42E.D., our power is matched.
04:45E.D., our power is matched.
04:47E.D., our power is matched.
04:49E.D.
04:50I am simultaneously fighting collector firewalls in over 8,000 nodes. I am tasked to capacity.
05:14E.D., our power is matched.
05:32Oh!
05:48Shepard, you must manually re-establish my link to the command console.
06:02I have regained control of the platform, Shepard.
06:17I knew you wouldn't let us down, Edie.
06:19I always work at optimal capacity.
06:22Did you get what we needed?
06:25I found data that would help us successfully navigate the Omega-4 relay.
06:31I have also found a Turing distress call that served as the lure for this trap.
06:36The collectors were sourced. It is unusual.
06:39Seems logical to me that they would have sent the initial message as bait.
06:42No, it is unusual because Turing emergency channels have secondary encryption.
06:47It is corrupted in the message.
06:49It is not possible that the elusive man would believe the distress call was genuine.
06:53Why are you so sure?
06:55I found the anomaly with Cerberus detection protocols.
06:58He wrote them.
07:00He knew it was a trap?
07:01Why would he send us into a trap?
07:03We don't have time to throw Blaine around.
07:05We'll question him when we're out.
07:07Behavior within norms for Cerberus.
07:09Not unexpected.
07:10No.
07:11The command is right.
07:12There must be some other explanation.
07:14Uh, Commander?
07:15We got another problem.
07:16The collector ship is powering up.
07:18You need to get out of there before their weapons come online.
07:21I'm not losing another Normandy.
07:22I do not have full control of their systems.
07:25I will do what I can.
07:27Sending coordinates for shuttle extraction.
07:29Come on.
07:30Let's move.
07:31Around the corner.
07:50Take the door on your right.
07:52Take the door on your right.
08:12Enemies in front!
08:14Hey!
08:16Let's go get!
08:21Assuming direct control.
08:27Direct intervention is necessary.
08:29Found that one.
08:29Oh my god!
08:59Oh, I've got one.
09:06Intervention is necessary.
09:15One down.
09:18Heavy fire imminent.
09:25One down.
09:29One down.
09:32One down.
09:33One down.
09:34One down.
09:35One down.
09:36One down.
09:37One down.
09:38One down.
09:39Next.
09:41Just you from line.
09:43I'm not going to die.
10:13Let's go.
10:43I am opening a door on the far side of the room.
11:04Mount that one!
11:13We've been spotted!
11:18Get effective at that. Recommend something else.
11:22There we go!
11:32Ineffective attack. Recommend something else.
11:38There we go!
11:43Ineffective attack. Recommend something else.
11:47Ineffective attack. Recommend something else.
12:17We've got a problem here.
12:23A temporary setback on Firewall 3217.
12:26Rerouting commands through Firewall 7164.
12:30E.D., we've got a problem here.
12:41A temporary setback on firewall 3217.
12:44Rerouting commands through firewall 7164.
12:48Understood!
12:49I have successfully opened a door on the opposite wall.
12:53I will keep it open as long as I can.
12:59Neutralize all hostiles.
13:00E.D., where we boarded.
13:05We must be getting close to the end.
13:14We can use this.
13:27Edit for combat.
13:28Kill that one.
13:38Assuming control.
13:42Focus on Shepard.
13:44We are the harbinger of your destiny.
13:51Relax!
13:51Let's die!
14:12Let's die!
14:17Let's die!
14:33Incoming!
14:36We are assuming control.
14:37We are the enemy.
14:39Go B.
14:39Let's die!
14:39Let's die!
14:39Let's die!
14:40Let's die!
14:41Let's die!
14:42Let's die!
14:42Let's die!
15:01Come on!
15:02Commander, I hate to rush you, but those weapons are about to come online.
15:24Might want to double-time it, you know, so we can leave before they blow the Normandy in half.
15:32Commander, I have to kill you.
16:02Commander, we have to go.
16:09You earned the man. Everybody on to the Normandy. Move!
16:17We're out of time, Commander. We have to go!
16:24You earned the man. Everybody on to the Normandy. Move!
16:32Let's drive in, people!
16:39We're forced.
16:41We can't dodge this guy forever, Edie. Get us the hell out of here!
16:47Specify your destination, Mr. Foro.
16:57Anywhere that's not here!
17:01Get out of here!
17:02Specify a destination, Mr. Foro.
17:06Anywhere that's not here!
17:08Errico, engage in Mass Effect Core.
17:31Call coming in from the Elusive Man, Commander.
17:58I figure you've got a few words for him, too.
18:01Shepard, looks like Edie extracted some interesting data before the Collector ship came back online.
18:18Cut the act. You set us up, and you better have a damn good reason for it.
18:24We needed information on the Omega-4 relay.
18:28That required direct access to Collector data. It was too good an opportunity to pass up.
18:33Agreed. But I don't like surprises. Especially when my ass is on the line.
18:38I put you at risk, yes. But without that information, we don't reach the Collector homeworld. And you and every other human may as well be dead.
18:45It was a trial. But I was confident in your abilities. And don't forget Edie. The Collector's couldn't have anticipated her.
18:53You could've told me the plan. You say I'm important, but you sure try hard to get me killed.
18:58I needed the Collectors to believe they had the upper hand. Telling you could've tipped them off in any number of ways.
19:05Besides, I wouldn't have sent you in if I didn't think you could succeed.
19:11Just tell me it was worth the trouble.
19:13It was. Edie confirmed our suspicions.
19:16The Reapers and Collector ships use an advanced Identify Friend-Foe system that the relays recognize.
19:25All we need to do is get our hands on one of those IFFs.
19:28I'm guessing you have a plan.
19:30We have a science team working on a Derelict Reaper right now. I need you to go and pick up its IFF.
19:36Where did you find a Derelict Reaper?
19:39An Alliance science team recently determined that the Great Rift on the planet Klendigan is actually an impact crater from a mass accelerator weapon.
19:54A very old mass accelerator. I sent a team to find either the weapon or its target. They found both.
20:01The weapon was defunct, but it helped us plot the flight path of the intended target. A 37 million year old derelict Reaper. We found it damaged and trapped in the gravity of a brown dwarf.
20:12Aren't brown dwarfs basically stars that didn't quite make it?
20:15Simply put, but accurate. They're gas giants that don't quite have the masses of stars. Expect gale force winds and extremely high temperatures.
20:24The Reaper has a mass effect field that keeps it in orbit, likely an automated response to the external threats. It's stable, but I won't call it safe.
20:33I saw what Sovereign did to the Citadel fleet. Hard to imagine anything could stop something that powerful.
20:38This vessel is a relic from a battle waged while mammals took their first steps on Earth. There's no trace of the species that took the shot. Perhaps it was their one moment of defiance before being wiped out.
20:51I get the feeling this isn't going to be a simple swing by and pick up our package.
20:57We lost contact with Dr. Chandana's team shortly after they boarded. Initial reconnaissance revealed no clues and it was too risky to commit more resources.
21:06But now we need that IFF. I'll forward the coordinates to Joker. In the meantime, I suggest you tell your crew I didn't risk their lives unnecessarily. It will make things easier going forward.
21:21Edie, tell the crew to assemble. We've got a lot to talk about.
21:25Of course, Shepard.
21:27D وأ, it's alsoוגly.
21:34I'm only a little bit frustrated.
21:35I'm sorry.
21:36I'm sorry.
21:37I'm sorry.
21:39I'm sorry…
21:42I'm sorry.
21:43I'm sorry.
21:45I'm sorry.
21:46I'm sorry.
21:48I'm sorry.
21:51I'm sorry.
