The 24th episode of the "Marauder Shields" Mass Effect comic. In this one... We visit the Crucible to take a deep breath before the plunge.

Be sure to play this track in the background to upgrade your reading experience: [link] (new link)

This is an ongoing story providing an alternative fan-made ending to the Mass Effect story, with a single game-changing maverick transforming the course of history: Marauder Shields. Be sure to start reading at episode 6. Special thanks to MichelKobayashi, and to my awesome team, my own Normandy! :)

[The Mass Effect universe, its design and characters are owned by BioWare/EA Productions. This is a work of parody and fan-fiction, created under the terms of fair use. Special thanks to BioWare for creating the world we all love and care for! I remain a huge ME & BW fan!]

P.S. This episode was supposed to be published yesterday, but... Life got in the way. And yes, it is intentionally paced to be a slower episode, with a bit more text...

P.S.2. If you're not following me yet, do so at [link] - follow, retweet, share this comic with the world!

P.S.3. Help me spread this series around - retweet, send out links, share this with your friends and post it on your facebook wall! If you can - send a tip about this comic to your favorite gaming media!

P.S.4. Good at doing Mass Effect impressions? Contact Jeff at jeff@koobismo.com - we're looking for voice actors for our project!

Kahlee Sanders. One of the few things I don't like about ME3 was how they got her description wrong.

As Drew Karpyshyn(the guy who created her) describes in the novels: Kahlee Sanders has long dark blonde hair(natural, a genetically recessive trait extremely uncommon in ME's era), and brown eyes.

In ME3: Kahlee Sanders has light blonde hair, and blue eyes.

Damn, just...damn.

This is the first time I read a Marauder Shields panel by listening to the audio book first. I was listening to it while reading this episode, and all I gotta say (apart from the good VAs)...

I am so, sooooo glad that you gave Jacob some character. He's often ratted out for being dull and two-dimensional, but the way you wrote him in this is just....I have not words. Why didn't Jacob get this kind of character development in game!?

Anyway, amazing job as always. I look forward to more of the Marauder Shields project!

Y'know...Jacob doesn't sound right...he sounds like Will Smith.
...but then I picture Will Smith as Jacob...
And everything is all right =3

That buzz... has me terribly worried for the Crucible team.

I'd say Kasumi seems out of character here for wanting to be on another suicide mission, but I actually do buy that she'd want to be there once she was actually put into a position of having to watch from up close. Perhaps knowing she would feel that way was a reason she fought so hard to avoid being a part of the team again.

Wait, wasn't Jacob in the front lines on Earth. Because on your call to him he says that his kill count is through the roof.

He was lying on the call. He feels bad that while everyone else is down on Earth getting fragged, he's just been chilling up in space reading GQ and sipping ice tea or whatever he's been doing.

ETA for Marauder Shields 25? I loved how you addressed the crucible-reaper problem, and i long for new chapters way more than new audiobooks. any update?
