Meh. Seriously not a fan of this Shepherd, why be so loyal to those who forced you at gun point? It's illogical for someone named logical... First major pothole in the first half of your first chapter...

It's just amazing. I can't express how much I love mass effect. And this randition of the first game is something else.
The most important thing in mass effect is characters and their development. And you did it great. In many parts better than the game.
The way you incorporated all three variants of Shepard's past is brilliant.

I'm commander Shepard, and this is my favorite fic on citadel.

Damn. Pulp fiction reference is awesome! Just f*cking awesome!

Yo! I started reading the story and I like it alot.
I saw there are alot od OSaBC stories written. is there any partucual reading order recommended?

Brilliant insight into Joker. Kudos!

And on this note, it becomes pointless to read further as it's clear that the author doesn't know what they're doing. A suspicion was formed at the start of the chapter with clear Mary Sew-like image of the heroine but thanks for affirming it so fast. Bye. %)

An interesting start. However, I'd say that the Senator would not believe in how perfect Anderson put Sara to be for a moment. And should probably ask. "Hm. Now, off the record. Which are the problems she bringing?" Or something to the effect.

You just have to have faith Arthur! Getting some real Tahiti vibes from TiM

Damn POGs, always ruining the best laid plans.

The background makes the lack of stronger human racism absurd to the nth degree. And the fact that the shadowy elites that have guided humanity since it took to the stars are corrupted by the reapers is kind of an insurmountable obstacle

Good job portraying your Shep as an ignorant and stunningly idealistic street rat. Little bit strange considering what she's seen, but oh well. Still waiting for this 'super grimdark SA that is like the Imperium of Man' that was mentioned. Nothing yet that modern western nations haven't gotten up to.

This romance stuff comes across as...hamfisted.

Bookmark number one

Yes, it is time to read OSABC again. Pray there are more stellar updates in the follow ups and supplements when I get there.
