He claims he was right in saying it was an honor fighting with the Commander again if they have shared camaraderie. Kirrahe manages to limp a considerable distance in pursuit before collapsing at a door. If Kirrahe is alive but Thane Krios is dead or never spoke with Shepard before the attack, then Kai Leng attempts to kill the councilor but instead shoots a cloaked Kirrahe at point blank. We look forward to returning the favor.ĭuring the Cerberus attack on the Citadel, Kai Leng threatens the salarian councilor's life. You were there for us in our hour of need.
To that end, I wanted to reiterate that STG will be there to help when the need arises, regardless of the political climate. It seems fate has decided our meetings coincide with galactic threats. An unnamed soldier, in Kirrahe's stead, also attempts to cover Shepard but does not survive.įollowing the mission on Sur'Kesh, Major Kirrahe sends Commander Shepard an e-mail, again promising his support against the Reapers.Ĭommander, it was a pleasure seeing you again on Sur'Kesh, even if the circumstances were less than ideal. If Kirrahe did not survive Virmire, Lieutenant Tolan takes his place at the beginning of the mission. When the Cerberus troops are defeated, Kirrahe stays behind to protect Shepard's flank while the Commander proceeds to the Species Observation Area. Demolishing a wave of troops with a Scorpion pistol, Kirrahe expresses his pleasure at getting to work with the Commander again before covering Shepard's team in the firefight. During the fighting, Shepard encounters Kirrahe in a skirmish with Cerberus troops. When Commander Shepard descends down the facility to extract the only remaining female krogan, Cerberus launches a surprise attack, attempting to prevent Shepard from acquiring the krogan. If Javik is present, Kirrahe repeatedly assumes Javik is a genetically modified drell or turian for use in some psychological tactic, rather than an actual living Prothean. If Garrus and/or Liara is present, he greets them enthusiastically, remarking that the Reapers have a way of bringing them together. He promises Shepard that regardless of what the politicians decide, he would gladly support retaking Earth.
If Kirrahe is spoken to before entering the base, he mentions that it was he who found the krogan females on Tuchanka and brought them to Sur'Kesh. Now promoted to Major, he is present at an STG facility that runs experiments on female krogan, loitering near the elevator entrance of the base. If Kirrahe survived the events on Virmire in 2183, he is on Sur'Kesh during the Reaper invasion in 2186. He hopes he and Shepard might have the opportunity to work together again in the future. Kirrahe and his surviving men can be found in the engineering section, sympathetic to Shepard's loss Kirrahe says they will get off when the Normandy next makes port and find their way home. However, with Shadow Team's help, Kirrahe can escape with Shepard aboard the Normandy. Either Ashley or Kaidan takes over command of the salarians after his death and coordinate the attack from then on. Without help from Shepard's team, Kirrahe is killed by the geth air support midway through the operation. Aegohr Team provides fire support to Mannovai Team and manages to evade the geth flyers that forces them to hunker down, then later spearheads the attack on the second AA gun. While Kirrahe takes personal command of Mannovai Team, Aegohr Team is given to either Kaidan or Ashley.
Shepard can assist Kirrahe's assault along the way by sabotaging geth positions and listening to how the salarian attack is progressing over radio chatter. In it, he explains that though they are covert operatives rather than heavy troopers, they are still part of a proud tradition – "We would be legends, but the records are sealed." Kirrahe hears some dissent amongst his men and gives them an inspirational speech. In light of this, he names his teams after key salarian settlements (Aegohr, Mannovai and Jaëto) to remind his men what they are fighting for. He is personally involved, leading three teams of his salarian officers (along with either Ashley Williams or Kaidan Alenko) to draw out the geth, knowing they would take heavy losses. Kirrahe develops a plan to destroy the facility, with the help of Shepard's crew: to place an improvised nuclear bomb at a critical part of the base. He is suspicious of Wrex (if Wrex was allowed to join the crew), describing the salarians' intervention in krogan evolution as 'a mistake', but allows Commander Shepard to deal with Wrex's anger. “This mission just got a lot more complicated.” - Spoilers for Mass Effect follow.Īfter discovering Saren's krogan breeding facility on Virmire, Kirrahe sends a message to the Council asking for a fleet to help destroy it, but a communications disruption results in a garbled message, and as a result only the SSV Normandy is sent to investigate.
