While onboard, Jack is interrogated about his experiences with the artifact on Shanxi and the aftermath of it. Saren tells Jack that he is clearly different from Ben and he wants to know why. Ben then tells his story, and Jack just sits there and listens. After Ben is done, Saren then tells the three to prepare themselves as they are about to be the first humans to set foot on Palaven. Upon landing on Palaven, Desolas speaks to the people and Jack notices that he does know how to put on a show.
Later in the evening, Jack and Eva are being led along behind the artifact and are talking about how long it is taking. Eva says that Jack was lucky he was in a coma when coming back from Shanxi, but Jack says he doesn't mind the wait as he wanted to get a closer look at Palaven for a time, and it is impressive, and so is Desolas.
Eva then asks how they even know the artifact is in there, but Jack says he can hear it and Ben, who is behind them, says he can hear it as well. Jack then asks Ben what it is saying, and Ben just says that it commands them to follow and protect it, and to prepare for something.
This conversation isn't lost on Desolas, who is walking just a little behind the three and orders Harper brought to him. Later at Temple Palaven, Jack is watching the "meta-turians" raising the Monolith into the sky and then quotes Clarke's Third Law, which Desolas, who was standing behind him, quotes back word for word.
Jack then turns to Desolas and says that he doesn't know what he is dealing with, but Desolas counters by asking if he does, then tells Jack that the artifact was here for a reason. He has been preparing the Temple for a while now and leads Jack into a backroom lab where they are studying the artifact. Jack, however, notices that it is only a surface analysis and asks why they just don't bring it back into the lab. Desolas says that he would like to but the now presented "Valluvian Priests" won't let him.
Desolas says they can't tell him anything more about it, but Jack can and he noticed back on Arcturus Station that the relic had changed him.
Jack then says, again, that Desolas doesn't know what he has, what he is dealing with, and that it is just too dangerous. Desolas then tells Jack that if he won't cooperate, then perhaps Eva will, but Jack says that she doesn't know anything and won't crack, and neither will he. Jack then pleads with Desolas to end the experiment being a man of science and the lack of results. The guards then lead Jack to an observation room.
Days later, Jack is still sitting in the room doing little but staring at the weird writings all over the walls. He then comes to a revelation and figures out what is going on. As he stands up, Desolas enters and says he discovered the same thing, but Jack then tells him there is something that he needs to know, the truth. Desolas however dismisses him and tells him to behold the future, a legion of perfect turians and destiny is at hand, and it begins now. Jack tells Desolas that he can't do this, but his pleas fall on deaf ears and he orders Jack to be led away to a prison cell.
While Jack is being led to his cell that he will share with Eva, she suddenly appears and floors one of the guards with a swift kick, knocking the gun out of his hand. She then deals with the other one and Jack lays out the first guard with a punch. He and Eva then head off to find Ben, but down the hallway find some "priests" clearing out a hallway. As they are observing them, Saren ambushes them.
Jack then tries to persuade Saren what is really going on. He says that Desolas brought the artifact here for a reason and that he has been duped. He says that he has read the history of the temple on the wall, despite Saren saying that no one has been able to read them, to which Jack counters that he can, and so can the "priests".
Then they look through the hole that the "priests" dug and find another Monolith inside the temple. Saren is in shock and Jack explains what will happen and how eventually the entire turian people will be converted. Saren tells Jack to shut up so he can think, then Ben shows up and explains that the artifact wants all to be like him. Saren then reaches for his communicator and after contacting Palaven Command, declares an unsecured bioweapon emergency.
Saren then goes to where Desolas is inspecting his no longer docile troops, and after seeing his brother getting thrown around, orders his guards to open fire. Jack joins the fight leading the way through the "meta-turians" for Ben and Eva. He then asks them to help, and Eva tells Jack to help her as this isn't their fight. Jack and Eva discuss what the prospects are for Ben, and while Eva is hopeful, Jack isn't so hopeful as he knows there is no place or any place far enough away to help him.
Eva then says there is one thing they haven't tried and pulls her gun and shoots the Monolith. Ben, working on instructions from the Monolith, tackles Eva and knocks her into a wall. Desolas then corners them both and after pulling a gun on Jack, tells him that he is going to do what he should have done a long time ago.
However, before Desolas can pull the trigger, Ben tackles Desolas, knocking him into the artifact, and knocking out everyone in the room. Jack regains consciousness some time later, and picks up Eva and apologizes for his actions and that the artifact made him lose sight of what really mattered.
As he carries Eva out, she tells him to leave her behind and save Ben, but Jack tells her that he is dead, sacrificing himself to prevent Desolas from making more victims. As he carries Eva out, he notices Saren also regaining conscious and tells him to warn his people and while he would like to stick around to see the results, he has to take care of his own.
Sometime later, while Jack is sitting in a chair watching the memorial service for Ben and Eva, he comments that Desolas was right and that the stars looked welcoming, warm, teeming with places to explore, full of knowledge, and riches to be had.
He also recognizes that humanity will not always be welcome and starts recording a manifesto. A dark time is coming for humanity and humanity will be tested, and while they may not know who is doing the testing or why, humanity must meet the challenges as they have met every other one. They will succeed because to do anything else would be inhuman. He will watch the dark places and illuminate them and that there is technology and tools that they not only can, but must master in order to survive.
This is not just to survive, but so they can better humanity. Eventually humanity will take its rightful place in the stars. A woman who called herself " Rasa " wanted to join Cerberus and was granted a meeting with the Illusive Man himself. He asked her why she wanted to join, and she replied that a man once said the pro-human group stood for something: she wanted to stand for something too. Fist agreed to hand over the Broker's secrets in exchange for asylum.
However, the agents discovered that Fist had instead chosen to ally with Saren Arterius. Rasa chose to let Fist go to discover more about his connection to Saren while keeping his files.
The Illusive Man expressed worry that Fist may sell Cerberus out, but Rasa was confident that the Broker's bounty hunter, Urdnot Wrex , would silence him before that could happen, tying up loose ends.
Approximately a month after the geth attack on the Citadel , the Illusive Man held a holo-meeting with operative Rasa discussing infiltration plans and her obsession with Commander Shepard. He was unperturbed by difficulties stemming from the recent shakeups, though he had noticed the changing nature of participants in the galactic stage. He revealed to his underling that the attack on the Citadel wasn't just orchestrated by Saren Arterius as the Council would want the public to believe, and that Shepard died.
His agent wanted to help investigate the latter but he prohibited it, telling her he already had other people looking into the matter. The Illusive Man reminded her that everyone on Cerberus had a purpose when Rasa began to protest, and assigned her to another task that he deemed to be the most important one in her life. He also sent in the Blue Suns to act in case his agents failed. He earlier tried to start a holo dialogue with her in the office of the recently-slain Dr.
Angersol, offering contrite words for his group's past abuses against her, but the biotic wouldn't hear anything he has to say. The mission to capture Subject Zero was slightly botched when the Blue Suns decided to ransom her instead of handing her over.
Rasa and Leng reported the development and after hearing stern admonitions they each received a new set of orders. The Illusive Man summoned Leng to report to him personally while Rasa was to assist Miranda Lawson on a mission to retrieve Shepard's classified files. The mission was a success, although Rasa's cover was blown. The Illusive Man agreed with Miranda's assessment that Rasa's field work days are over.
In light of recent events, he also decided to deprioritize the ongoing clone project and allowed Miranda to continue using it merely for testing.
The Illusive Man is later informed by Miranda that Rasa is becoming untrustworthy, as she knows too much about Project Lazarus. The Illusive Man then recommends cutting their losses if Rasa has become a liability, not minding the resources Cerberus spent on developing her.
In , Rasa steals the clone before it is terminated and escapes the Lazarus Station. Miranda personally reports to the Illusive Man, informing him that Rasa's shuttle was on course for the Arcturus system and that she is preparing to pursue her. However, the Illusive Man orders her to forget Rasa, believing her inconsequential compared to the coming of the Reapers and reviving Commander Shepard. After the attack on the Citadel , the Illusive Man became suspicious about the claim it was a geth armada, knowing that no ordinary geth attack could have been so successful.
He knew that word of what had really happened would eventually filter back to him, but in the meantime, he had greater concerns.
Though he acknowledged Commander Shepard 's role in creating humanity's new place in the galaxy, the Illusive Man also knew the suspicion and mistrust of the other races would soon close off the political channels that Shepard had opened, and decided to push ahead with his work in the Ascension Project.
When Paul Grayson reported to the Illusive Man, he gently confronted Paul about his addiction to red sand , but agreed Gillian needed to be pursued and authorized an attack on the Migrant Fleet itself. When the strike team, including Paul and the quarian Golo , failed to report back, the Illusive Man assumed they had died in the attempt as his vast web of informants did not stretch to the Migrant Fleet. He was surprised, therefore, to get a communique from Paul, and even more surprised when Paul calmly announced he was leaving Cerberus forever.
He held the threat of revelation over the Illusive Man's head, and used it to get an assurance that Kahlee Sanders would be left alone. The Illusive Man was forced to agree for the sake of Cerberus' other projects. The Illusive Man eventually learned the truth about the Reapers and the threat they posed to the galaxy as a whole.
That plot summary is not written very well at all Raven It wasn't my intention to do a full recap of the entire miniseries here, I just wanted to give him the basics. The details about Saren and his brother, the temple, the experiments, etc. FallenAngelEyes Oh, no not you. I meant the wiki. Yours was much better. Its not a Prothean Relic but instead a Reaper Artifact.

User Info: mzing User Info: Phoenixmon2. We have to do the best that we are capable of. It is our sacred human responsibility. Anything less is unforgivable. Very true. I dunno, it just seemed to be that one instant, when he's impaled by the glass shard, his eyes light up right before dimming and I could've sworn they had the same pattern as TIM's eyes. It's entirely possible I'm seeing things though :p I'll have to see if I can find the scene on Youtube TIM's eyes are meant to look similar to the Paragon symbol, Saren's are just his eyes glowing deep blue.
User Info: CrazyMammoth. I don't think there is any special meaning behind his eyes. The books make it clear that he has gone under the knife countless times, they are probably just a regular old cybernetic upgrade.
