If Shepard comments on Joker's flirting, EDI humorously explains her relationship with Joker is purely platonic rather than hormonally-induced courtship behavior.ĮDI reveals that the Normandy SR-2 was built using technical diagrams of the SSV Normandy, which was built by the Systems Alliance upon the encouragement of Cerberus. After this incident, EDI establishes an "equitable working relationship" with Joker, who starts calling her "she" and "her" rather than an "it".
MASS EFFECT 3 EDI NUDE FULL
EDI gains full control of the Normandy once she is unshackled, though she admits the Normandy's efficiency is improved with human resources. While Shepard and the squad are away, Joker grants EDI access to the ship's full array of systems, allowing them to escape. EDI again provides vital assistance to Shepard's team as they escape, hacking into the Collector network to open doors and guide them back to the shuttle.Īfter the acquisition of the Reaper IFF and its integration with the Normandy's systems, a virus disables the ship and enables the Collectors to board and capture the entire crew. She then reveals that the Collectors had falsified the turian distress signal that led them to the ship, a ruse she discovered by analyzing the signal using Cerberus detection protocols personally written by the Illusive Man, indicating he knowingly sent them into the trap. After the Commander survives the initial ambush, EDI confirms that she found the necessary intel required to use the Omega 4 Relay. EDI diverts the majority of the overload to non-critical systems before warning Shepard that they have walked into a trap. Once Shepard and the squad reach a data console, EDI begins data-mining the Collectors' network, but in doing so, her holographic avatar briefly changes into the Collector General just before a sudden power surge. EDI explains that the discrepancies in the two genetic structures are the result of extensive Reaper modifications. EDI confirms their Prothean ancestry by comparing two thousand alleles of Collector DNA samples to known fragments of Prothean DNA, finding them to be an almost exact match. During the Collector attack on Horizon, EDI brings the defense turrets online to fire at the Collectors' ship, forcing them to abandon their abduction of the colonists, thereby saving most of Horizon's population.ĭuring the infiltration of the Collector ship, EDI provides crucial information on the Collectors' origins, noting they possess quadruple-stranded DNA, a trait shared by only one other known race: the Protheans. Shepard can take either Joker's or EDI's side, or chastise them both for their childish arguments.ĮDI proves extremely useful to Shepard's squads during missions, providing them with vital logistical information and charting out optimal solutions to reach objectives. When asked, EDI explains that it is not her intention to annoy Joker, rather it is her way to study human behavior. Information on topics like the Normandy SR-2's construction or Cerberus resources are subject to behavioral blocks according to EDI.ĮDI gets into a lot of arguments with Joker, who initially doesn't like her being installed on the Normandy. EDI is however able to provide basic but sketchy information on Cerberus, about its task oriented structure into cells, but cannot provide more details on the cells' operations. The Illusive Man restricted Commander Shepard's access to some of EDI's files and capabilities for unknown reasons, although EDI surmises that the reason is probably because he does not want Shepard to know everything about Cerberus just yet.
She also serves as the Illusive Man's eyes and ears on the Normandy, monitoring the many listening devices on board and sending regular reports to him. Because of the potential danger of a rogue AI, she has been given behavioral blocks and cannot interface with the ship's systems. “The chances of surviving are… slim.” - Spoilers for Mass Effect 2 follow.ĮDI is a Quantum Blue Box type AI that functions as the electronic warfare defense for the Normandy SR-2.
