Normandy After Noveria

You've finished Noveria! Back on the Normandy, chat with your crew, make tough romance choices, and get ready for your next assignment.

Alright, you've finally made it off Noveria! After riding that tram out of Rift Station, you're officially done with that whole mess. Back on the Normandy, you'll have a chance to debrief with your squadmates.

Before you do anything else, you can optionally chat with the Council. This is a good spot to grab some quick Paragon or Renegade points. Stick to the blue dialogue options for Paragon +2, or the red ones for Renegade +2. Just pick whichever alignment you're going for!

Here's a quick look at the points you can earn:

Now, assuming this is your third major mission (after Therum and Feros) and you've been playing the field with your crewmates like Ashley, Kaidan, and Liara, you might get confronted by your romantic interests. It's a bit awkward, but you'll have to make a choice here. The game wants you to pick who you want to pursue, so make sure you burn the bridges you don't want, so to speak. After that, you're free to wander the Normandy as you please.

While you're on the ship, take the time to talk to everyone. You can snag some useful Codex Entries by chatting with Kaidan, Liara, Garrus, and Wrex. It's also a really good idea to talk to Liara specifically about what went down with Benezia – it adds a lot to the story. And hey, if you want to keep pushing that romance you picked, now's your chance!

Here are the Codex Entries you can pick up:

With all that done, your time on the Normandy is wrapping up for now. Head over to the Galaxy Map. You'll get a new assignment called UNC: The Negotiation, which will unlock the Styx Theta cluster for you to explore. Feel free to tackle that if you want, and after that, it's time to finally set course for Virmire.
