Mass Effect: Retribution: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* [[And I Must Scream]]: One of the main plot elements of the book is Reaper indoctrination. Of course this is in [[Incredibly Lame Pun|effect]].

* [[Badass]]

** For those unaware, N7 is a designation for special forces in the Alliance military, and only the biggest human badasses can even attempt to qualify to become an N7.

* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|What happens to Grayson when he's implanted with Reaper tech.}}

* [[Continuity Nod]]: The friendly elcor ambassador from the first game, Calyn, makes a brief appearance while having lunch with Anderson. He's still complaining about the volus ambassador Din Korlak.

* [[Cuffs Off, Rub Wrists]]: Averted. {{spoiler|Kai Leng is ''bleeding'' by the time he manages to get out of his restraints from where Anderson tied him up.}}

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. Grayson ''tries'' to do this, [[And I Must Scream|but the Reapers won't let him]].}}

* [[Faking Amnesia]]: When a rescue squad recovers a kidnapped character and asks for his name, he is unable to answer and claims that amnesia is the cause. {{spoiler|As it turns out, he, Grayson, has been implanted with alien tech by Cerberus, allowing his body to be remote-controlled by the [[Cosmic Horror|Reapers]]. The claim of amnesia was used by the Reapers to avoid the question as they were at that time unable to learn his name by reading his mind. It works horrifyingly well.}}

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: {{spoiler|Grayson}}, but not by choice.

* [[Humorless Aliens]]: Anderson, while having lunch with Calyn, jokes about attacking Din Korlak (Calyn's office mate, about whom he had been complaining) and "watching the butterball roll out the door". Calyn finds this joke disturbing, and notes that he's unsettled by humanity's sense of humour.

* [[Mauve Shirt]]: {{spoiler|Liselle}}

* [[Raging Stiffie]]: Happens to poor {{spoiler|Nick}} not thirty pages into the book, who probably advances [[Hot for Teacher|one trope]] and narrowly subverts [[Jizzed in My Pants|another]] while he's at it.

* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: {{spoiler|Liselle is murdered by Kai Leng in order to cast suspicion upon Grayson. Considering that she was Aria's daughter, Aria is pissed when she arrives at the crime scene.}}

* [[Tragic Monster]]: Grayson
