‘Arrival’ Set to be Final Mass Effect 2 DLC

Well it looks like the recent update to the Playstation 3 version of Mass Effect 2 has revealed what is to be the final downloadable content. The update details three new trophies, one of which awards you for, “[Rescuing] Dr. Amanda Kenson without attracting hostile attention.” Obviously this will ultimately lead up to the events of Mass Effect 3, however, a recent Cerberus Daily News mentioned the same doctor, draw your own conclusions after reading the post below.

Historians and astronomers alike are abuzz tonight over a new paper published by Dr. Amanda Kenson of the University of Arcturus. Her team claims that by testing the dust trapped in the gravity wells around a mass relay, and comparing its composition to that of dust clouds in the same system, scientists can create a timeline of when the relay passed through the dust. Her conclusion? “Only a small fraction of the mass effect relays date back 50,000 years,” she writes, “The majority are far older, indicating they were created by a species predating even the Protheans.” Dr. Aurana T’Meles of the University of Serrice met the information with skepticism: “While Dr. Kenson’s methods appear sound, the asari tried a similar procedure centuries ago and discounted it. What civilization could have spanned the galaxy for not thousands, but millions of years? If this were the case, we should have found mountains of evidence of their passing. Where is this species now?

This seems to be the first challenge to conventional thinking of the Prothean race being the only predecessor, which we all know after the events of Mass Effect 2, are not true. So here’s to hopefully finding something out during this next expansion.
