I supposed that’s where Feron (the Drell) comes in, to kind of counter this innocent/Lolita vibe Liara has in her look, posture, and most of her dialogue. After that, the character seemed fairly naive in her dealings with the peoples she encountered on Omega (the place her search for Shepard has taken her). It was the clever sexual innuendo and sexy poses she’s pulling throughout the issue that gave it away. Within the first few panels, I gathered that Liara T’Soni must be the famed blue alien I kept hearing about that the game pushes you to have relations with. I know, I’m hanging my head in nerd shame right now, but I bring it up because this might be the reason I was left with the following question: Did I just get the end of the game spoiled for me? I say “supposedly” because I haven’t finished ME yet. Supposedly picking up sometime after the story of the game Mass Effect and before its upcoming sequel Mass Effect 2, Redemption follows Liara T’Soni on her search for Commander Shepard (or his body, at least in this issue).

But Shepard’s enemies are searching for something, too. Now, Shepard’s friends – including the intrepid Asari, Dr. Commander Shepard, one of the few elite agents known as Spectres, was lost in a mysterious attack on the Normandy. But tragedy struck one of Earth’s greatest heroes just weeks after rescuing the galactic capital, the Citadel, from a devastating strike. Welcomed into the Citadel Council, the people of Earth have proven adroit and adaptive – to the consternation of some longer-established species.

In the generation since discovering the mass relay near Pluto, humanity has used the ancient device to make its presence felt in the cosmos.
