Mass Effect: Andromeda Annihilation is the third prequel novel to the game Mass Effect: Andromeda, concerning the Quarian Ark, the Keelah Si'yah and the Sleepwalkers; a group of specialists responsible for maintaining the ships systems during the long journey to Andromeda.Thirty years and hundreds of lightyears before the Nexus and the ark Hyperion would arrive in the Heleus Cluster, disaster had already struck the Initiative.Aboard the Keelah Si'yah 20,000 souls from across six different species lay asleep in their cryopods, dreaming of a new galaxy and a new life. But the dream is about become a nightmare for the members of the ship's "Sleepwalker" team and potentially all those aboard.Senna'Nir and the rest of the remaining members of Sleepwalker Team Blue-7 are prematurely awaken by the ship's VI "K". Having detected an abnormity, the VI has pulled them out of stasis to investigate and what the team discovers horrifies them. A deadly pathogen has been set loose aboard the Keelah Si'yah taking the lives of several of the passengers. And worst, the virus has the ability to infect multiple species.As the Sleepwalkers try to solve the mystery behind the plague, the ship's systems begin to malfunction and it becomes increasingly clear that this was no accident. If any of them hopes to see the new galaxy and find a new home, the members of Blue-7 must hurry to find a cure and save the ship while facing panicked colonists, mad infected, and the possibility the ones responsible for it all may still be on board... | |

The Ghost | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: The ship has more than one Pathfinder in stasis (due to the low numbers, some species have to double-up), but with the situation as it is, none of them are woken up both to protect them from viral infection and from the SAMs from potentially being affected by the ship's malfunctions. We at least get some details about the quarian Pathfinder, but nothing about the others. | |

Lowered Recruiting Standards: Early on, it's mentioned that the Keelah Si'yah didn't screen its intake too heavily, since they were willing to take anyone they could get. The end result is a lot of criminals, maniacs, religious fanatics, assholes, and the captain being a complete nutjob. | |

Ditto Aliens: Used for racism, when the sleepwalker team finds a panicked batarian running free, and Irrit automatically assumes that as a batarian he must be responsible, even as he's vomitting up a flood. Borbala snarls if she thinks all batarians look alike. Irrit's immediate response? "Yes." | |

Mythology Gag: Among the Keelah Si'yah's cargo manifest is a collection of rare and expensive fish. And, as happened all too often to fish in Mass Effect 2, they die. Borbala sings a modified version of Pirates of Penzance's "Pirate King", modified for batarians. No word on her feelings for patter songs. | |

Always Chaotic Evil | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_4832a3bb | comment |
The perception of batarians as Always Chaotic Evil comes into play multiple times (it doesn’t help that the main batarian character is a former leader of organized crime and another looks down on non-batarians). The second even lost an ex-wife to an attack on Camala, though this time the attackers were the Reapers. | |

Full-Circle Revolution: Qetsi's explicit goal. The point of her virus is to dethrone the Council races — you know, the ones who each got their own Ark, while the drell, hanar, quarians, batarians, volus and elcor are all packed on this one — and give everyone else a chance to take over. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Once, a bunch of salarians played a prank on Qetsi that nearly got her killed, so on joining the Initiative, she decided to engineer a virus to kill off the salarians there. And the humans, turians and asari for good measure. Slightly justified by the fact she is insane. | |

Contrasting Sequel Main Character | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_517d2eb8 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Senna, who like Tali is a quarian with dead parents and an aptitude for mechanics. That's where the similarities really end. Senna is pretty much the exact opposite of Tali. He's not driven by parental issues, he's not particularly devoted to the Migrant Fleet or taking back Rannoch, and he's got nothing against geth or AI in general even when he has far more reason than most quarians to genuinely dislike them. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Nearly every major character has some level of prejudice. The most bigoted characters, Borbala and Qetsi, are on the giving end and the receiving end. The quarians hate AI so much, after what happened with the geth, that their Pathfinder's SAM is noted to be shackled, unlike everyone else's, so it will never become a true AI (and the fact their Pathfinder is an anti-AI hardliner won't help this). | |

Sequel Hook: Just at the very end, as everyone who's left goes into stasis, the Keelah Si'yah receives an incoming message from Andromeda, but no one's awake to receive it. Which is all the more odd since the ship is thirty years out from Heleus, long before anyone on the Nexus or the Arks should be awake to send a message. | |

Saved by Canon: A line toward the very end at least confirms that whatever's going to happen to the Keelah Si'yah and its crew in Andromeda, Senna at least will live for some years. And there's the Keelah itself, since anyone who got to the end of Andromeda knows it got there in the end... though what happens to it after is still a mystery. | |

| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_76933235 | comment |
Depopulation Bomb: The virus is revealed to be this. It was made by Qetsi, who engineered it to kill a large amount of humans, asari, turians and salarians to alter the power structure in Andromeda so the races on her Ark, including her race the quarians, could dominate the new society. However, things went awry as the virus was supposed to be harmless to those races but mutated to be deadly to all but Qetsi because it was released early, and the worm meant to incubate it went wrong. | |

Shameful Strip | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_8591611a | comment |
Shameful Strip: A fatal variant. Qetsi was made to walk nude through the ship to "infect" people with the cure of the virus she had made. This kills her because she’s only immune to her tailored virus, not regular infections, and she also had to walk through environments tailored for non-quarians and thus harmful to quarians. | |

Villain with Good Publicity: The book ends with the origin of the virus noted in the ship's logs as "unknown" and it's likely that almost no one knows about Qetsi and Malak's involvement due to the potential backlash if her actions and motives behind them are discovered. Its likely history will only remember Qetsi for her death in spreading the cure...the cure for the virus she had created and was naturally immune to. | |

Not only was she naturally immune which is used to create the retrovirus, but to distribute it, she is forced to walk naked through the entire ship and make physical contact with them. | |

Scary Dogmatic Aliens: Subverted. Ysses violated the quarantine protocol, infected Yorrik and helped spread the virus. The hanar cult following Kholai who exalt the Day of Extinguishment – a heretical branch of the hanar state religion - relish the multi-species plague and failure of the Keelah Si’yah as the will of the Enkindlers. The ultimate subversion is that they – especially Ysses - were unwitting pawns in Captain Qetsi’s master plan, and Qetsi was a non-religious individual motivated by political gains and a personal grudge. | |

Did Not Think This Through: Qetsi wanted to use her bioweapon to reduce the numbers of the Council races so the other races could rule instead, but she didn’t have a plan to resolve the issues of these races, such as the krogan’s warlike nature or the batarians' strict caste system. Furthermore, she didn’t plan for any potential inhabitants of the Andromeda galaxy. If Qetsi's plan had succeeded, the virus would’ve left the most numerous and powerful Milky Way races depleted, making everyone much easier prey for the kett in Mass Effect: Andromeda. | |

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: The volus are an alien race whose hats are being a Proud Merchant Race and capitalism. Irit’s father is a volus communist. The batarian characters also explain how there is more to them than the popular negative stereotypes. Borbala even quit being a crime lord because of this, wanting to try and shake off her species' extremely negative reputation and make art, or music. Senna is about the only quarian who doesn't despise any and all AI, and even hides one in secret because he knows if he told any of his people they'd smash her with a hammer, and then smash him for good measure. | |

Xenofiction | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_dd8deee1 | comment |
Xenofiction: The first example in the Mass Effect franchise. Except for the prologue, every character is an alien and there are no human characters in the story save for memories and flashbacks and the POV human character in the prologue is murdered by the alien Big Bad. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: It is mentioned that the events of the original Mass Effect resulted in an influx of refugees from Noveria and Virmire. The events of those respective in-game missions take Shepard through a corporate and military setting, respectively, and in both areas there are few, if any, living civilians, certainly not enough for an "influx". Indeed, the whole point of Virmire was it wasn't settled by any major population, which was how Saren was able to hide his giant lab-fortress on it without anyone noticing. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Senna refers to Liat as "grandmother", but unless his parents waited a hell of a long time to have him, it's an utter implausibility (she's noted to have been old when the quarians lost Rannoch, which was three hundred years ago). | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Borbala was once a ruthless crime-lord, who was overthrown by her own children, who drilled out one of her eyes and sold her. That's not what pisses her off, it's the fact they let her live. She raised them better than that! Ultimately, subverted, however, in that this isn't why they turned on her. | |

Jerkass: Borbala, as would be expected from a former batarian crime lord. Also, Irrit Non, who contributes little to the problem by being short-tempered, thin-skinned, flat-out racist and just generally rude and unhelpful. | |

Fantastic Caste System | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_edcc813f | comment |
Fantastic Caste System: The batarian system is explored a little. The aristos are at the top, everyone and everything is beneath them. There's intellectual, merchants, military and finally slaves at the absolute bottom. Calling a batarian a member of a lower caste than they have is a grievous insult. Calling someone a member of the intellectual caste is not a compliment. One batarian mentions it is possible, if difficult, to advance upwards. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Qetsi is Punched Across the Room by Yorrik after he learns Qetsi made the virus they are all suffering from or being killed by. The male characters also don't hold back against female opponents. | |

Empathy Doll Shot | |
| Mass Effect Annihilation / int_f67171cc | comment |
Empathy Doll Shot: Averted. There is a doll involved, but its held in the death grip of a quarian child’s corpse, and the corpse is shown for all to see in the arms of the child’s grieving mother. | |
