SALARIAN SANTA Fan Art from ‘The Spirit of Redemption’ - Epic Expanded Universe Mass Effect Fanfic~!
“I know that a lot of you are very far from home and from your family right now, but … something remarkable has happened.” Liara paused, a faint smile coming over her face. “Someone has bypassed security to be here with us this evening. No, no, don’t go for your guns…This is a friend to everyone, I’m told. And I’m feeling very trusting today”
…
…Liara took them to what was usually an observation deck. Today, however, it had been decorated with thousands of sparkling lights, all hanging down like a tent from a rafter high above. Curtains of light, around a tall tree—in a pot, apparently—also festooned with lights. Under the tree … and around it… and all over the room …were packages wrapped in paper and ribbons. And beside the tree, Lilitu Shepard and Garrus Vakarian were waiting, smiles on their faces. Their presence was enough to make Amara, Kaius, Elissa, and Alain scream and run for their parents in joy.
To their right, however, was a short figure in red furry pants, a red furry shirt, a red furry hat… with a big white beard. The hat was precariously perched, however, on Kirrahe’s very salarian aural horns, just above his big, wide eyes. “Ho, ho, ho,” Santa Kirrahe said, as if reading it off a script. “Have you all been good boys and girls this year?”
It was a secret only a few people in the galaxy were actually privy to, but when EDI had created clones of her processes and databanks for transfer into other Normandy-class ships, she had additionally added personality matrices that were not of Cerberus creation. EDI had postulated that the adaptive intelligence of a human would be a valuable asset to her ‘daughters’ and further postulated that a randomizing element would add variability to the other AIs, making their functionalities and responses more difficult for the Reapers or the Collectors to predict. In essence, she wanted to ensure that her progeny could evolve and adapt to different circumstances better than if they only possessed her own traits and characteristics. Lacking any other source, she employed specialized personality templates that she had created some time previously.
These personality templates were, in fact, ones that the AI had made in an effort to understand humans better. Since the human with whom she had the most interaction with was Jeff Moreau, she’d used him as the point of origin for all her matrices. In a very real sense, the crippled helmsman now had a literal fleet of daughters. All of which he kept tabs on with a sort of beaming, semi-proprietary pride.
Any number of turian and human captains had, over the past several years, sent memos up the line, asking if there was any way to scrub the odd behavioral patterns and “borderline sense of humor” from their AIs, but to remove any element of the personality matrix in a stable AI risked destabilizing it; a risk no one was willing to take.
Shepard was, personally, just glad that she had the original EDI and Joker aboard her ship.

From ‘The Spirit of Redemption’ Post-ME3 Postulated Expanded Universe Fanfic |
If Tolkien were a Mass Effect Fan…..
I honestly believe that if Tolkien was a Mass Effect fan and wrote fan fiction, it would be ‘The Spirit of Redemption’ because the author has developed languages and culturally-specific attitudes and sayings for the various races.
“Turian and Asari are works in progress, but I actually have studied linguistics, and am formulating grammatical rules. Everyone always wants to compare my stuff to Taviss. *shrug* I’d prefer a comparison to Tolkien, who generated elvish out of Old English and Old Norse, primarily, just as turian is generated out of Latin, for me.” — The ‘Spirit of Redemption’ author on the languages she has created in her story.
Nikola Tesla - (1856–1943) American physicist, electrical engineer, and inventor, recognized as one of the outstanding pioneers in the electric power field. And one major hottie.
