So yesterday we started reading the MEA codex. Here’s the link to our Discord if you're interested, don’t hesitate to join!
I thought I would make several posts about what we discussed (and by we, I mean @homoryder, @silentstephi, @nerdyholler and me)
I'll start with the characters and some questions or reflections we had.
-Ryder: We were interested in the Alliance's attitude toward the Ryder siblings. Alec's research got him discharged but it also ruined his children's career. @silentstephi said it made it sound like the family was tainted forever, which is a bit wtf. @homoryder was wondering if the Ryders could have eventually overcome it the way Ash did.
-Kallo: I wondered if Parohe Aerospace warned Garson against recruiting him "so fervently" for a reason other than wanting to keep him around.
-Cora: Codex gives us a nice insight into the asari huntresses. The records are sealed for 5000 years, which is... a lot of time as @homoryder pointed out.
It's also worth noting that Cora's superior biotic talents was seen as a liability by the Alliance (to me it means they still don't really know how to handle powerful biotics and don't have good training for them).
I also wonder why Cora’s service number was included in her entry. No other character has information that specific?
-Suvi: @homoryder was the one who caught the part about her being "headhunted by a black-ops organization for a classified biomedical project": it's likely Cerberus wanted her for the Project Lazarus and she said no. Just think about it: we could have had Suvi and Miranda working together!!!
-Liam: his entry gives us a lot of information about, well, law and order. His parents specialized in "interplanetary policy law": I would think it means human law across all planets (colonies included? no idea) while galactic law is linked to Citadel space. Would love to get your opinion on this.
-Ellen: Codex talks about "neuro-integrated wetware", it would mostly mean the brain linked to artificial systems. Thought process would be compared to computer systems.
-SAM: Alec encouraged SAM to write their own entry.

Hi! You don't have to, but I think it'd be cool if we had a Discord for the codex reading party! So we can instantly chat about our findings. :)
Hello!
Yes. I decided not to a few days ago but I changed my mind. I’m going to reblog the MEA Codex Party post with the link to the discord.
Are you excited btw??? :)
