Suicide Mission

I haven't played Mass Effect 2 for a while now, not for a few months, but my GOD I just want to tell the world how FUCKING AWESOME it is when you complete the Suicide Mission without dying. It makes you feel like you are literally Jesus. (Well, you did come back from the dead...)

As a bit of context for non-ME players, you have to assemble a team to fight the Collectors, a race of ancient bug folk who are abducting human colonies (note:- colonies not colonists) by paralysing all the people with tiny robots called Seeker Swarms, then just taking them. You, as Commander Shepard, fly your ship (the Normandy) through the Omega-4 relay, which no ship has ever returned from, get battered about in a debris field, crash land, send a tech expert (Legion the Geth Infiltrator on my playthrough) through some hot vents to open a path for you, whilst a strategist (Miranda Lawson on my playthrough) creates a distraction team. Then, with the distraction team still distracting, you have to go on a "Long Walk" through the middle of the base where the Seeker Swarms nest. IMPOSSIBLE, you may think, but nay! Using a biotic expert (Hello Samara) means they can't get to you. Then you find your abducted crewmembers, who are in the middle of being melted down into goop and processed into the central chamber. So you send someone to take them back to the ship (Mordin is the best choice here). Then, while everyone else holds the line, you and your party (in my case Kasumi and Tali) go to the central chamber, take down a Human-Reaper larva, and blow the station to hell!

NO FUCKING CASUALTIES.

Anyway, I didn't want to rant about how awesome that mission is, soundtrack and all. I just wanted to update people with the fact I'm still revising for my retake, and still enjoying life as it comes :) After a VERY stressful period caused by the break-up of a friendship due to a certain person's cowishness, it's nice to have really good times :D
