for Mass Effect: A Very Terran (Re)solution2/16/2024 c24 scyfly
good to see this isnt abandoned.
the weird thing is that the drell live on a ruined homeworld, they are a client race of the hanar that took a handful of them off thr planet but abandoned the rest. sound like billions of free slaves no one gives two shit about to you?
on that note you should def work on helping the drell like you did with the quarians. but thats what ive been saying for a few chapters, to create his own faction directly opposing the citadel. humans quarians geth krogan, drell, prob the volus, the vorcha under protective status till they evolved further.
the trap was a bit weird in that you started with the ground pov but the call for airsupport wasnt shown until you came to the spaceship povs. so i was like where the hell is airsupport, how is this possible and then you came hah fooled you.
the fighting itself was a little heavy on the 'and then, but i already and so i moved' making it a little dry

heeeeey, a new chapter! haven't read it yet and probably won't for a hot minute since Imma need to go back and re-read since I've forgotten most of what happens but I'm glad this fic got an update after so long.
I know you said a chapter was in the works but I was honestly starting to get worried after such a long gap between posts. Was pleasantly surprised to see this notif pop into my alerts.

Absolutely loved this chapter! The level of detail you put into your work is absolute perfection! As for the stealth ship design, I quite like the Amun-ra stealth frigate design from The Expanse.

I've been enjoying this story's unusual approach to technology, because you seem well capable of extrapolating what should logically be done with the assets available to the Mass Effect universe. You actually do it in a very interesting and multi-layered way despite your comparatiely big blind spots about some of the real world matters you try to explore in your author notes.
However, this chapter highlights an unfortunate issue in your writing that just made the story much less great than it was until the last one. Basically, unlike the sci fi fantasy mechanics you have thoroughly mastered, you have fallen to the lure of the 'protagonist holds the idiot ball.' Ratyer strongly too.
For all that you wrote a pretty cool and engaging fight with your protagonist there, I couldn't enjoy it in the least because, throughout all of it, I just kept thinking 'man, none of this belongs in a story where the whole plot revolves around the MC having common sense'. Which is to say, you made him stroll into the biggest and baddest base, where the best defended objective was in the entire theatre, without any backup whatsoever. Worse, no one comments on this at any point, despite the otherwise legitimate claim to tactics and strategy that are made in this story, and especially this same chapter.
It's actually very bizarre - the squad combat and ground warfare read actually quite well, but then you had the 'Commander' stroll into the most fortified and important objective without a even one more person to help him. That, I'm afraid, is not just complete tactical incompetence, but something I'd much sooner attribute to deliberate self-sabotage.
I urge you to 'get a five year old's opinion first' in the future, because it would be a shame if the single Mass Effect story I bother following goes the way of the pox bottle.

Hello, happy to see you are back. A great chapter with some loss for the angels (a good thing to push them further). For the next batch of augment the first thing I am thinking of is some kind of small stasis module in the brain, it could be some specific medi-gel with a implant keeping the brain alive (in a coma) even if decapitated. It would explain why the MC want to rush them after the recent loss. Maybe small muscles groups around artery that stop blood flow in case of massive bleeding combined with a secondary artery system to bypass the wounded areas and small nodules capable of releasing very oxigenated medi-gel in all muscle and organ cut from blood flow, letting them continue to work no matter the wounds received in the rest of the body.

Was worried that this was a dead fic, thanks for bashing that idea out of my mind. Thanks for the update, shame the Angels got Akbar'd but won in the end. Hopefully the next chappy is soon(ish)
