aww! thanks for the positive review. Its always nice to know your work is appricated I am, however shockingly inconsistant when it comes to adding chapters so sorry in advance. haha. That's alright take your time, good work cannot be rushed besides you must also have tons of other stuff to do your fans understand that. Not to do with the fact im making it up as i go along? actully thats a lie. I do "Know" where its going, and the devil in me wants to skip to the space battles, but unfortunatly something called bloody "Character deveolpment" is slowing me down. I want stuff exploding damn it!

I swear, Blue, Blue, Blue could become a meme if it was from an actual Mass Effect game.
Finally read chapters 19-24. Some good highlights:
-The dialogue between Rhyder, Finn, Anya, and Mia is still funny banter. -Cook, the convict's flashback/subplot was damn good. Well paced and well told.
Don't have time to post a lengthier review at the moment. When I get back I'll finish chapter 25 for sure.

Well, there's nothing ever wrong with things blowing up, that's for certain. ;D
I may be a philistine, but I like my stories to have some degree of action. Explosions help, a lot.

I've Added music to the first 10 (ish) chapters.
Oh, and its a coincidence that I use the Metroid Prime 2 soundtrack a lot. I just like it, nothing to do with the word "echoes" in the title.

Absolutely fantastic choices! The Metroid series is my absolute favorite series music-wise, followed by Zelda, System Shock 2, the StarCraft series, and The Elder Scrolls.
Also, sent you a friend invitation on YouTube.

U CalifornuaTD? yeah, Ive always felt that the Prime series music fits eerily well with mass effect. i also use a lot of zelda when playing elder scrolls.

Yeah, that's me.
Also, the music from the original Marathon goes pretty well too.

Oh, no. Hardly at all.
Well, come to think of it, I have around seven fanfics (heh, I'm such a dork) in the process of being written and I have only one I know for sure that's been fully planned out, and that's WarCraft: The Crimson Tome.
I'm pretty confident that I can break even just by improvising most of the material in my stories as they go along. I've done it with RPs I've DMed, and everyone else seemed to like it.
This sort of thing can either make or break something, and it's always nice to have SOME degree of planning. But the thing about planning is, the longer time goes on, the bigger chance of changes you want to make to the plot arise.

sorry that the next chapter is taking so long. Just got a new job and its sucking my spare time up like a black hole.
Anyhow, i thought i might post a couple of odds and ends. mostly because it makes me feel a little better actully typing this stuff down. and because i love to be a tease.
Anyhow the next chapter contains the words "Squeeky chair", "Relinquished", and "Illusive man",
oh, and the sentence: "That is NOT MY NAME!!!! We have been waiting for longer than your limited minds could possibly comprehend! We shall save you ALL from the cruel chaos of organic evolution!"

Sounds like quite a tease! Wonder what all this could mean.
In the meantime, I should REALLY continue with Cyan Steel.
