As soon as he is finished, he tells Liara to unleash her biotics to disable the communications in the room, preventing any of the Broker's hired guns from learning their location. Liara keeps him talking while Feron downloads all of the information on the Broker's dealings. Upon entry, they see what seems to be a shadowy hologram of the Broker. But before they could go retrieve Shepard, Feron first goes to go to the Broker's command center to determine what he's getting from the Collectors. The two infiltrate the Broker's main base on Alingon, where Feron passes off Liara as his prisoner. The drell defends that he never stopped working for the Broker, which they can use to their advantage in tracking Tazzik. Liara accuses Feron of still working for the Shadow Broker. Tazzik is then able to flee Omega, with Shepard's body. Unfortunately, he misses Tazzik's ship, alerting the Suns to their presence. Liara is half of mind to simply rush, but Feron thinks of a better idea with a nearby turret. After learning the location where the Blue Suns would be bringing the body, Feron spots Tazzik, the Broker's personal enforcer. But because of recent events, he is willing to help her.įeron brings Liara back to the Afterlife Club, where the queen of Omega, Aria T'Loak resides. After the meeting, Feron reveals to Liara that he has been ordered to lead her away from Shepard. The pair is brought to meet with the Illusive Man who reveals the Shadow Broker is working with the Collectors. Among the Cerberus agents is Miranda Lawson. They then run into agents of Cerberus, a pro-human extremist group, who claim that they are after Shepard too. Suddenly, an unknown sniper guns down the mercenaries, giving the two an opening to escape. Unfortunately, they are ambushed by the Blue Suns, sent by the Shadow Broker to delay Liara. Nonetheless, Liara insists on finding Shepard. However, he tells her that the Commander is neither dead nor alive. I also got to make a contribution to the character roster with the guards Joppa and Delwian - about the closest approach to comic relief that we made in the series.“I said get back!” - Spoilers for Mass Effect: Redemption follow.įeron is hired by Liara T'Soni to help her find Commander Shepard. Not to be confused with the old Cleveland newspaper! The name of Feron’s ship, the Plain Dealer, is one of my contributions to the series. This was the first issue not to get a snap-reprinting, as retailers had had time to adjust orders after the first two issues sold out. “I’m getting tired of having my friend described as merchandise.” - Liara My suggestion involved the “hall of mirrors” we see here - the semi-transparent screens all about - which would throw some interesting… well, shadows! The Shadow Broker presented a visual challenge, because - as readers of the issue learn - it’s not clear who and what it is we’re looking at. It also allowed me to play on the more paranoid aspects of the Shadow Broker’s operation: with information so compartmentalized, a character like Feron could operate without the Broker’s underlings knowing he shouldn’t be there. Still, we were able to show some real estate that hadn’t been seen while we continued to connect the dots, bringing Liara closer to those who stole Shepard’s body.Īlignon was already established as a world with a huge magnetic field, disrupting signals a perfect location if you want to prevent unauthorized communications. With this issue shipping more than a month after the release of Mass Effect 2, I expected many of the hardcore fans of the game would have completed their first runthroughs by its release. With the third issue of Redemption, the action moved away from Omega and into space, heading toward the Shadow Broker’s base on Alignon.
