Yes, I get that, but I just don't see how those needles could piece armour. I suppose the Seekers could gradually nibble or gnaw their way through, but it would at least take some time, or is this venom highly corrosive?


I honestly have no clue, but there has to be more to seeker swarms that Shepard has never seen or experienced. We know they can bypass Military-Grade Kinetic Barriers because of the events of Paragon Lost, but beyond that, everything is done off-screen.

I find it hard to believe that, in their present form, they could make a whole coloney go dark. As I mentioned before however, this doesn't take into account the fact that Mass Effect typically has open-air building designs (that must cost a fortune to heat).

I also think these guys might have a nastier bite than you give them credit for. Judging from where the Seeker bit Ashley on Horizon, I suspect it might have pierced through the underlay of the armour, rather than going directly for the neck. Admittedly, it's no tank armour, but it's something.

So, Annie, your post doesn't make a lot of sense. If Annie is in the lounge area, which I'm pretty sure she was at the end of your last post, there's no way she would even know anyone new was on the ship. None of the four that just arrived have entered the lounge yet. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

It's fine, since I wasn't entirely clear. I'm just letting you know so you can change it in some capacity.

If I need to draw up section map of the ship for people, I can do that, just tell me.

Awkward question: Are the Collectors or Chaos Marines running comm jamming equipment?

I would appreciate that. When you say airship, I tend to think of a passenger ferry - but your descriptions make me think of something like the layout of an Airplane.

(I'm talking in terms of interior design, not the exterior of the ship)

About Seeker swarms,
Well, if I can't actually experience the supposed abilities of the Seekers, I can't really implement them. Of course, the Seekers could crawl into the gaps of armour.

The Warp is also interfering with the communication on Mars, and before that, there was a dust storm. I never knew about the open-air designs.

I always thought she was bit on the neck? But yeah, there is no mark on the neck, so it does seem that the bug bit through the pink fabric. Well, in the thread's context, bugs biting the armour of something, which is several inches away from the body (I imagine there's quite a bit of space between the Ultramarine's armour and the actual body), that the Seekers' bites won't pose an immediate threat to the Chaos Space Marines. Unless a hole is busted open in the armour, or the Seekers crawl into a gap.



About jamming,
I suppose the Collectors will start jamming, but the Chaos Space Marines are not. The Warp is doing its own jamming for now, but Rem is reestablishing connection with the fleet, regardless of the Warp or Collectors. Short-range communication will still work; I sure won't care about specifics of jamming unless it is mentioned.
