Nick, Chip, and Kura are back to continue talking about their experiences playing Mass Effect: Andromeda. This week, they return to the Nexus and check-in with everyone there now that Eos has been properly settled.

But first, Nick talks about the murder mystery that was one of the tasks to be addressed on Eos. They talk about how Nilken, a turian, was arrested for killing his commander in a sandstorm while the kett were attacking. They review following the trail on Eos and finding the omni-tool recording that indicates Nilken tried to kill his commander and failed because the Kett did kill him. This leads to a discussion of how Nilken should be handled back on the Nexus and how the game does not allow for this to be addressed properly.

Next, they talk about Ryder’s post-Eos call with Addison, who faintly praises the Pathfinder. Nick speculates if Addison is the Udina and the guys get into a discussion about what sort of ambition would drive someone to leave their life to colonize another galaxy. Chip wonders if the Initiative brought enough people. Everyone agrees they do not like Addison but they wonder if she could be redeemed.

They discuss how the immigration queue is starting to bustle now that more cryo pods are awakening to support Eos. They talk about a power issue caused by a Pyjak that gets to join the Tempest crew. They talk about the Jien Garson VI in the cultural exchange center which doesn’t acknowledge that she’s dead, and the Ryder VI that you need to prepare. Nick complains about the pronunciation of Sajax. They discuss the Apex Missions on the mission table and how you only have to worry about equipping Ryder in this game.

Nick brings up Drack’s loyalty quest and how it doesn’t seem to make sense since you confront everyone before you have evidence. They talk about the AVP system for awakening cryo cells and then admire Tann’s upgraded office. They discuss how SAM is able to let Ryder to talk their unconscious sibling.
