Think of the transition of from ME1 to ME2.Paragon Fury said:Yes, I know Cerberus brings Shepard back to life. That doesn't equate to Shepard owing them anything. Except maybe a few well-placed slugs.
Shepard saves the day, then realizing there are more out their still, marches out. And you know what?
Dude has NOTHING
There are no more leads and no obvious next step. There are hundreds, maybe thousands more Reapers out there and you don't know what they are up to. You don't know if Sovereign was the only "failsafe" the Reapers had thought of. You don't know if the Reapers had a "plan B" or other means of returning. You have nothing...
ME2 accurately relays this sentiment in the intro...when it shows you wandering around...in the same section of space...for 4 days.

Now put yourself in Shephard's shoes. You have no idea what your gonna do and neither does the Council, which is why they have been so hush hush about this. The Reapers could show up the very next day, and you'd be powerless.
All of a sudden this guy comes out of nowhere. He knows about the Reapers. He has a ridiculous amount of resources available. The fact that he actually resurrected someone from the dead shows his capabilities. And he wants to assist you.
Whats the problem?
Shephard is working with them because they can offer valuable assistance given the present situation.
Circumstances change though, and so will the way they both treat eachother.
The Alliance gave you Kaiden and Ashley.
Now how did those two compare to the other teammates you picked up? *cough* Wrex*

Yes...cause as I said earlier, Shepard has plenty of leads on the Reaper situation...he should instead pick up where he left off...using the most advanced ship in Council possession to go scouting...for FOUR DAYS.Paragon Fury said:I don't even need to play the game to deal you that Collector's attacks on the humans are a pittance compared to what they, and the Reapers, have in store for the entire galaxy.
Theres a difference between an alliance and a truce.Paragon Fury said:And remember, you're a SPECTRE - you took an oath defend all life in the galaxy, not just humanity. You're part of something bigger than the Alliance and humanity - working with someone who wants nothing more to than to see all other races bowing to the heels of humanity, or simply crushed in our wake and who only is interested in you because you can do that, is kind of the anti-thesis of what your job is supposed to be.

Yeah, he should have totally flashed his badge. Cerberus would have no choice then but to let him commandeer a ship and provide instructions back to the Citadel. But not before they volunteer to put on restraints and be taken prisoner....Paragon Fury said:So, no, a Paragon wouldn't work with Cerberus. Since your still a SPECTRE, you can still can when and where you please
You could also do it under the banner of "Winnie the Pooh".Paragon Fury said:- and you could easily continue the hunt for the Collectors under the banner of the Conciul or the Alliance as easily as you could under Cerberus.
Putting aside how the whole "hush" on the Reapers means severely limiting your organizations resources... do you remember what the "official" channels produced last time?Paragon Fury said:Hell, I don't even see what advantages Cerberus has over the other two - the other two have just extensive, if not more extensive intelligence networks, massive resources, and you could probably recruit a far superior, and less psychotic band of heroes from the "official" channels than you could from Cerberus's pool.
