Mass Effect 2 'Probing Uranus' Easter egg

EDI's got a thing or two to say about that. ;)

"Really, Commander?"
"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong"

[Gab]

Uranus has been depleted because of the massive exploration by probes

[nobandfan]

*“Say it.”*
“Really commander?”
*“SAY IT!!!”*
Sigh. “Probing Uranus.”

I was half asleep when I did this.When EDI said, "Really commander?" I thought she was referring to the number of probes I had left (because I only had like 3 or 4 out of 30 left), and I accidentally hit a spot that had a really low resource reading. So I thought she was berating me for using up a perfectly good probe for nothing.

...And then she said, "Probing Uranus."
I'll tell you, I was wide awake after that.

[Suyamu]

that's not an easter egg, it's the sole reason for the probing system to exist. ;)

[DeltaD]

I feel like the probing system was based entirely around this joke.

[Savage--]

"Depleted"

Clearly this place has been probed extensively already.

[Lark]

This never gets old. Now that the legendary edition is coming out, we can probe Uranus in a higher resolution!

“Astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. Its now called Urectum.”
Prof. Hubert J Farnsworth.

[AKKodiak]

And from the codex: "Today, Uranus is the largest producer of He-3 in Alliance space."

I just finished the first Mass Effect the other night and started my Mass Effect 2 file yesterday. Thanks for pointing this out. I'm going to probe Uranus so hard.
*Immaturity intensifies*

EDI: "Really, Commander?"
Shepard: "Do it EDI. We must probe this gigantic round orb for SCIENCE! The fate of the galaxy, and my prostate, hangs in the balance!"
EDI: *sigh* "Probing Uranus."
Shepard: "Hehehehehehehe!" 

[goldensentinel]

Joker: "I love you so much commander."
Shepard: "Told you I could get her to say it."

[hwangmihee]

EDI sounds so disgusted when she says " Really, Commander?" it made my day! :D

[johnnyvaughan]

My favorite part is how the first time, EDIs like "Really" but the second time she's like "I have to say it or Shepard won't stop" then the third time, she's like "Okay, I'm ignoring this"

[PerfectAlibi]

And thus they changed the name to Urectum, so that no one could make that joke ever again! ^^

[TheStarcraftJACKAL]

EDI: Really, Commander?
Shepard: Hey, we'll bang, ok?

[Chino]

No thanks, EDI...that's why Chakwas is around.

[DmonHiro]

I love how dissappointed EDI sounds when she says "Probing Uranus".

[Syryu]

I'd say this was a waste of resources but I'm too busy laughing my ass off
