- What an explosive start to a game. Never expected a game to hit nearly as hard as The Last of Us in the first 30 minutes… but here we are.
Thank you for watching!

Dang girl respect! You took that hard. Had me crying for you and your team. Thank you for being you.
Yeah, this game is emotional and I love when people show their feelings. I'm glad there wasn't a camera on me when I played this for the first time back in the day haha
Holy shit, that’s by far the best reaction to that opening I’ve seen. God that hit hard with the added context of being a servicewoman. Subscribed!
from the standpoint of someone that has watch millions of hours of gamers on youtube.....i 100% agree with you....she totally hit me hard too...like right in the gut....great content maker, this one is
Her personal experience gave us one of the most raw and genuine reactions to this opening. Some people cry because it just sucks losing everything at the beginning of this game but she got ptsd from the real world gripping us with real emotion.
i agree totally... you actually felt her pain in a way.@@danielm4436
bearing witness to shephards untimely death and being rejuvenated through the lazarus project has left a lasting impression on me.
i see shephard as a clone (souless) even though it may have his likeness. it's something wicked the illusive man has cooked up.
just something i wanted to share.
Ok, I usually already get pretty emotional with these damn games, but watching this and hearing your personal experiences/inputs got me in a unique emotional situation. Got me crying for a bit.
I'm sorry you and others had to go through that, I hope things are better now.
I feel you on that intro. I’m also a vet, combat engineer. Served from 2001-2021. It does hit you in the feels. This has become my favorite game though, I’ve probably done close to 20 complete playthroughs since it released. That being said, I don’t know why, the Mass Effect trilogy has become my go to game. It’s been good for me and I hope it will be for you too.
You mean you are a old horny fck who writes pointless personal annecdotes to try to get into some teenagers pants over internet lmao
I’ll be honest, I normally watch your RDR2 play through exclusively, but for some reason I decided to watch this.
First let me say thank you for your service. I never served and I regret it for many reasons. I have the upmost respect for all service men and women. Saying thank you will never be enough to show my gratitude.
Next I want to say that I’m glad you show your humanity with your videos. These may just be video games we play, but they can conjure real emotions as we relate these fictional worlds and characters with real world experiences.
You are a badass and I commend you for having the strength to show empathy for the people you love. Society may look at crying as weakness, but we know better. It’s easier to put on a mask to hide how we feel, but it takes true strength to show how you really feel. I’m sure I’m one of many that wish we could sit with you and hear your full story and give you a hug when you are saddened by it. Much love. Much respect.
Now that was an emotional rollercoaster worthy of Mass Effect! From sadness in the beginning to joy and hope in the end!🤗
If you did the mission for Admiral Kohaku in ME1, you found Kohaku dead in a Cerberus facility, killed by Cerberus test subjects. Also, if you had questioned Miranda a little about Wilson instead of agreeing he was crooked right off the bat, she says a very amusing voice line. Jacob asks Miranda if she thinks Wilson was really capable of betraying them and Miranda says very deadpan, "Not anymore."
Famous "still dont know how ME dialogue wheel works" situation
For future reference: the left side of the dialogue wheel is for additional information and usually does not advance the conversation. It is highly advised you exhaust all options on the left side before continuing by choosing on the right side. You missed a few with Illusive Man and could have found out more about what happened to your previous crew but it's definitely not a big loss. Just means it will be more of a surprise as you progress in the story :)
This! 👆
commenting for visibility.
^This ... always try to get all the questions out of the way on the left side ...as you can miss crucial information and at times even miss critcal choices
during the conversation at the end with the illusive man about the team, you can get a whole side branch of questions regarding your old squad mates and their current status or reasons for unavailability
I started watching her around part three of her playthrough and I've come back to watch the earlier ones. I'm honestly worried of watching her go through the Omega 4 relay, because as of part 8, her tendency to ignore the left side has so far put her two crew members down before she even gets control back after the initial cutscene.
It's honestly shocking how people go through an entire game without understanding this
I have gone through this moment in the game so many times, I have seen others do it so many times, but it has never evoked such strong emotions as when watching your playthrough
I can always gauge how well someone will handle ME3 by how they handle the ME2 intro emotionally.
idk... I can do ME2 intro like a rock... but that tower... with him? That takes effort to not cry.
@@kennethmorgan8795 I cried how bad it was xD
@@diamondgaming63good for you I guess
I'm only about 12 and a half minutes into your vid, but I just wanted to give you a vitual hug. I always enjoy watching people play through my favorite ME game for the first time, to see their reaction to the WTF moment at the beginning of the game, but I've never thought about how hard this could hit for people who have been in those sorts of situations like you have. You had me crying and seeing this gaming moment in a way that I never have before. Thank you for having the courage to post this. And thank you for all that you do.
damn girl, thats relived trauma, take care of yourself. hope you are doing fine
Mass Effect 2 is one of the best sequels ever made 😍. I can't wait to see your reaction to the story and epic scenes 🥲! Your reaction to the intro was already amazing 😭...
ME2 also has incredible cast for voicing the characters.
The beginning of ME2 is a mindblowing and emotional one 😭... I was so shocked to see it the first time.
Welcome back Eralia. That is one of the most emotional starts to video game going. Bless you, I could see how much effect that had on you! One quick tip - once you have cleared an area, slow down, make sure that you look around carefully or you might miss 'enhancements'. You have gotten off to great start.
Ah, yes; the "evacuation" of Kabul. One of the biggest military blunders I've ever witnessed.
People keep saying, “I didn’t know this was a horror game. “
It’s always been a horror game. It’s usually subdued horror.
Virtual hug to you for that emotional roller coaster of an episode. I was eagerly awaiting this part for a while. Great job as always!
You got some incredible feels for this game. It makes me appreciate life even more so I wish you the best 💪
I've been waiting for this! I get really board watching ME1 plays, but when I saw you playing it, I made sure to subscribe for this moment ...and a moment near the end of the 3rd quarter, and of course some moments in ME3. But this is the first!
Mass Effect is known for the hard feels. Even some of the biggest funny scenes are laugh-till-you-cry moments. My recommendation is to have a full tissue box on hand at all times.
Thank you for your service! By far the best reaction to this intro that I've seen...2nd best was from a person who's got a fear of being spaced.
I like to micromanage my squad leveling, especially with ME2 and ME3. With ME2, there are warp detonations. You have to prime and detonate those, so having points in the right squad member skills to make the most of those is beneficial since they offer damage multipliers. This is even more true with a larger number of cross-class combos in ME3.
She doesn't know how to use her powers or the cover system so it would just be a waste of time.
Don't know if this will help or not, but I'm a Desert Storm vet (Air Force medical corps), and I had much the same reaction to the opening as you had. Whether they intended it or not, the writers for ME2 and ME3 did a very good job of portraying the sense of duty and camaraderie, the "no man left behind" sentiment of the military, as well as the effects that those things can have amongst soldiers during a war. It's all very well done and anyone can feel it, but only veterans can know how close to the real thing the writers and actors truly got.
Oh, and if you're interested in such information: Miranda's face and voice are actress Yvonne Strahovski, who was in the tv shows Chuck, Dexter, and 24.
Off to a terrific start!
It's always interesting to see what resonates most with different individuals. The opening of ME2 always hits hard -- losing the Normandy *and* Shepard in the first ten minutes! But I think you're the first I've seen to really focus on the scene itself, the chaos and noise and sheer disorientation of an emergency evacuation under fire. I play this game once or twice a year (yeah, it's that good), and I'll see that opening through new eyes from now on; thanks for sharing the experience!
About the Dark Horse comic recap: if you're importing a Mass Effect 1 character, it will include all the decisions from your save file, but it can also be used to start a "fresh" ME2 playthrough without playing ME1 at all -- the comic will let you *make* the major choices the way you'd like. It's a nice feature -- and it's only slightly annoying that it was originally paid DLC.
A couple of quick, non-spoilery, hopefully non-back-seat-y notes on game mechanics (things that are in the tutorial, but may not be clear) -- you'll probably have figured all of this out by the time you read this comment... but just in case:
"Sprint," "Enter Cover," "Leave Cover," and "Vault Over Cover into A Hail of Bullets" are all on the *same key*, affectionately known as the "Do the Thing" button or the "Shepard! No! You dummy! OMG! And... now we're dead!" button. What the button does is entirely context dependent. Or it's a random mishap generator. You be the judge!
"Sprinting Into Cover" is a thing -- if you sprint straight into a wall or other cover-providing-object, you'll automatically enter cover without an additional press of the "Do the Thing" button. This is mostly very handy. But it also means that "Sprinting Past Cover" isn't a thing... if you sprint too close to a wall or what have you, you'll stick to it like Velcro, often in plain view of whatever you were sprinting away from. Hijinks ensue! (The judges may award extra points if, in the process of detaching yourself from the obstruction, you accidentally vault over it, landing in an even worse situation!)
The procedure for activating a companion's power is (1) bring up power menu (which pauses the action); (2) aim reticule at target; (3) click a power to select it; (4) release the power menu (which allows action to resume). If you change your mind during step (3), you can click the power again and chose a different one (or nothing). The click-on, click-off behavior is mostly fine... except that players will sometimes try to double-click powers, which has the effect of Mysteriously Doing Nothing. Hijinks fail to ensue.
Looking forward to a fun and unique playthrough!
One of the best openings to a game I've ever played, I always come back to this. It takes the one thing that made you feel strong and safe in the first game and tore it to pieces in a way that shows just how much more dangerous the enemy is in this game. Thanks for including the raw reaction, too - couldn't have been easy. The beginning of Mass Effect 3 did this and then some.
I started watching this playthrough as like “oh fun another playthrough of me2” I never realized the impact the beginning scene can have on veterans. I never thought of it in that way but seeing your reaction and you sharing your experience with your friends really gives me a new appreciation for this scene. Thank you for your service. Can’t wait to watch the series and hear more perspectives from you.
The beginning reaction with your perspective was truly something to witness. I can not wait to watch you play this game and the rest! Such an incredible beginning reaction!
You should prepare yourself emotionally before even trying to play Mass Effect 3.
Spoilers🥱
@@mikeyb0121I'm serious!
Honestly she should finish playing ME2 before that
@@crazypriest4274no way
Just dont pick the bad endings and she'll be fine
The intro to this game is one that has always stuck with me. Despite it being a sci-fi game, it manages to be such a realistic and potent example of both heroism and unexpected tragedy. I don't have the personal connection to that theme that you do, but even without it I remember a shiver running down my spine from the pure shock and emotion of watching the ship get destroyed, and when the music kicks in as Shepherd struggles to breath as she falls into the planet's atmosphere I definitely felt super emotional.
I think it was the biggest emotional impact a game had ever had on me until I played The Last of Us. I knew just from the into that ME2 was going to go down as an all time favorite game for me, and it's still in my top 5. Looking forward to seeing you experience it all.
BTW the dialogue about why the Quarians hate Cerberus is fully explained in the Mass Effect books, specifically the second one. The first 2 are fantastic reads! The first deals with Anderson and his backstory with Saren. The 2nd deals more with Cerberus.
I love to see people expirience Mass Effect 2 for the first time, but this was something special.
Mass Effect 2 is my favorite of the bunch. That opening scene hits HARD and the game is just great from start to finish
Watching you experience that the first time, reminded me how I was emotionally blown away, with goosebumps and everything, back when I originally played it. I cant wait to see your reactions on how the story unfolds and which route you take. - Ad astra, per aspera - the quote all ME fans know :)
When is this ever said in Mass Effect I don't remember Latin ever being in it?
@@thehebsquatch7780 check the final scenes of ME3, the ceremony. Wont say more, cause it could be counted as a spoiler. If you dont want to load a save, there are enough videos about that part on yt :)
only with the good ending mod. you see the ad astra, per aspera. so every mass effect fan on console or on pc without the mod don't know this quote from mass effect.@@MissSeleste
I was expecting the intro to hit hard - it's a brutal surprise for anyone who has gone through ME1 and doesn't know it's coming. But adding your personal experiences to it - wow. Respect to you for leaving that in the video, and thanks for your service.
Holy shit. Understandably THE most raw reaction to the gut punch opening of ME2. I've played it multiple times, and sat here crying along with you. 😭
I did not expect how the first 10-15 minutes would unfold. God damn that poked me in places I never thought would get poked.
1:35:14 That giddy little scream when seeing the Normandy again brought back so many memories
YES FINALLY!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER!!!! GO ERALIA!! ENJOY THIS WHILE WILD RIDE!!!! (and prepare to cry ;)
I just wanna say thank you for your service. Lile you I lost so many fellow soldiers in battle I know exactly how you felt watching the intro.love you so much
I've just found your channel and this is my first video of yours I'm watching just wanted to say thank you for your service
You know what separates pros from the rookies? How fast they read the text showing up at the prologue 😂 Every one gets anxiety after failing to read any of the previous games intro text
I'm really enjoying your Mass Effect content. I watched your Until Dawn play through and then ME1. Digging the vibe. And I have laughed out loud for minutes straight after you scream and duck off camera. Just cute as a monkey with a puppy. Becoming a big fan here. Can't wait to watch more.
The music in the comic recap….it kills me every time. There’s so much nostalgia wrapped up in that music for me. I played Mass Effect when it first released and it quickly became my favorite game of all time. The story was awesome, and while the gameplay wasn’t perfect, it was still a really fun game to play. So anytime I hear that music, I’m instantly back to when I first played, a time when my parents were still alive and I wasn’t a useless, disabled cripple weighing my wife down by being in so much daily pain that I can’t do anything.
Sorry….I didn’t mean for that to get that….dark. Nostalgia just kills me, I love it and hate it at the same time. You had me tearing up for not just that nostalgia, but for you and what you were going through Eralia. I’m sorry the opening scene hit you with something so difficult in real life. My absolute respect goes to anyone who has served.
You have the most visceral response to any reviewer I have seen. When I saw the Normandy destroyed back in ‘10 I was dumbfounded, then you get surprised for the SR2…had a big ass grin on my face!!
Your reaction is why this game is so good, the fact you second guess your choices is as well.
I relate so much to the instant reaction of "Is she an option?" At the Miranda close up.
I love watching people play this game for the first time.
The shock from the opening, and the joy of the reveals of characters from ME1 is fantastic.
I remember watching the intro cutscenes for ME2 and the destruction of the Normandy in breathless silence, but had never shed any tears.. boy was it different this time💔thank you for your service Eralia. I look forward to watching your playthrough, and seeing the story unfold through your unique perspective- what decisions will you make with your military mind? Strategy and choice of tactics will be interesting to watch. Again, hats off for your service, and God Bless🇺🇸
So happy to see you continuing the series! :D This is going to be a wild ride!
For story and gameplay, this is one of my favorite games of all time. Excited for the journey with you.
The original Mass Effect was exclusive to the XBox. When ME2 came out, it supported the PlayStation and PC play, so the interactive comic was there to allow PS and PC players with no ME1 character to import to make the decisions from ME1. Well, some of them, anyway. If you did not import a character, it would pause and let you make the choices as you read it. With an imported character, it just tells the story using your imported choices.
I guess you remembered how fast the opening text of the first Mass Effect game went by, because you were reading the opening text to this one like a woman possessed. And still didn't quite make it.
Also, as a little tip; you're going to want to slow things down a little and really look around carefully. Unlike the first game, credits are hard to come by and you're going to want everything you can find. And you've already missed some here.
My heart is with you and the friends you've lost...
Hey! We all get emotional when games we are playing or movies we're watching (books, songs, news...) hit us in the memories. Don't you dare apologize for having feelings again! ;) Stay human.
Career US Army Veteran here - 1980 to 2001. I went in as me, I came out different, as most do, no matter how long you served. So many things will affect you, some massively. You adapt and watching your reactions here, you are doing fine. You have seen things, you know things, yet here you are putting yourself out there, emotions be damned. You and many like you are who we need in our military. I am waiting for my call up. I know it is coming.
1:17:25 This is such a "visit little sister at her first job at mcdonalds and being all proud to watch her take no shit from a rude customer"-vibe.
Yes, every now and then memories of past events come back at the most unusual moments, triggered by the most unusual triggers.
I can understand you very well.
I just got done watching your ME1 stream series and wanted to give you context (in case you never find it by playing)!
In ME1, Cerberus was involved with a ton of different experiments and side quests in off shoot worlds. Rear Admiral Kahoku (the first alliance guy in the citadel who gives you a side quest right after becoming a Spectre) has a questline that leads you down a narrative wormhole that points to Cerberus. I'm pretty sure that off-shoot world you visited where other scientists were experimenting on Thorian Creepers was a Cerberus base.
Long and short, they were heavily involved in a lot of SHADY scientific projects all throughout the 1st game, so when you start the 2nd one, you're very much supposed to wonder if you're a big pawn, but you already are picking up on that. So anyway! Shady, freaky, sciency, untrustworthy. You get it haha
I like that you play aggressive. Lots of people walk through the fights at the start until they figure out it's best to rush to cover.
Also, use the ammo power. It burns the enemy and does extra damage to armour. Anything with armour tends to be pretty strong, so getting through it faster is always good.
Best opening of the 3 games for sure and the last mission is pretty fantastic, but I still think ME1 is the best overall game and ME3 was the best combat experience of the 3.
AND I really advise against auto levelling anything, you want to tailor your squad mates to best enhance your abilities.
The wildest part about that opening, is that if her suit hadn't been damaged, Shepard could have easily survived that for a time.
Hope you enjoy and have fun, this series has amazing stories, and it further goes into the mental aspect of things as well. Addedum: Your missing a fair amount of dialouge, the options on the left if they are not colored red/blue are further questions and interactions. I'd recommend checking those out before ever selecting options on the right, as it typically advances the story.
i normally i skip dialogue on the left if i don’t care what they have to say :) sometimes i want them to elaborate, sometimes i don’t!
Copy that, looking forward to seeing the rest of your playthrough, hope you have a good run. Stay Frosty @@eralia
The Genesis Interactive Comic will allow you to make all the major decisions of ME1 and dive right into ME2, by the way. With such a broadly branching game, it's a neat tool to use if you are interested in seeing some of the changes that would happen in ME2 with different decisions from ME1.
I LOVE YOU! :D I do not know who you are and I found this video by accident. ME2 was my first game in this series way back and it is my favorite episode of the trilogy. I cannot wait to see what are your choices and how do you react to people and stuff. Thank you for playing and sharing all fo this with us! I am thinking to replay the whole series and I will do that some day. Mass Effect is part of my soul. For me this is more than just a game. If somebody I meet will say that they like or love Mass Effect, then they will get all my attention and will be my favorite person from all the people there might be. :D
Thank you for sharing such a personal and emotional reaction to the intro. Without giving away any spoilers, prepare yourself for the ending, it's even more traumatizing than the intro. As is the dlc Project Overlord. Emotionally gut wrenching.
Tip: I'm guessing after 5 days now you've figured this out, but as a vanguard biotic charge is your best friend! It restores your barrier/shields (50% initially, upgradable to 100%) and it's definitely your most powerful biotic power, and your best lifesaver. Pair it with a shotgun and your incendiary ammo (which stays active permanently once activated per each mission) and you will obliterate enemies. For ME3, vanguard also gives you a really good melee biotic power that makes the perfect 1-2 punch with biotic charge and brings melee combat in as a more viable option. Melee is available in ME2, but definitely weaker. Look for build recommendations on CZcams if you're interested in learning more, there are tons of them available and they do a good job explaining the different powers and abilities for each class.
Lastly, good luck and enjoy the game! It's quite possibly one of the best games ever made, especially the story.
Your reaction to the opening was powerful. I think it speaks to how good this game is that it can evoke that reaction from someone with lived experience, where a lesser game might have you going "pfft, thats not what its like." Still, I hope you're taking care of yourself emotionally while playing through these; that kind of resonance can be cathartic but it can also be damaging if you're not prepared.
(Takes off therapist hat, puts on sapphic gamer hat.) Alas! Miranda is straight. Just like all the other female characters in this game that were clearly designed specifically by sadists to be attractive to me personally. (Jack. Kasumi. Tali. Stop making lesbian-nip characters and then making them straight, Bioware devs 15 years ago!)
ETA: Also, yeah, ME2 is WAY harder than 1, or at least that was my experience. I died a LOT early on before I found a couple of severely OP guns.
Play and make your decisions.
One of the other funs things seeing others play beloved games, is to see their unique experiences, takes and consequences.
I’m a new subscriber and love your content.
First of all, thank you for serving which raises my respect above and beyond. Blessing to you and your family.
No flippancy, but as much as upsetting as the ME2 intro was to you, BioWare’s writers and storytellers raised that bar in ME3, so please be prepared.
Looking forward to binging on the rest of your content. If/when you can (or are interested in), since you love Mass Effect, you might consider the Dragon Age series.
If memory serves that you said you were still active duty, please be safe in your duties and again, hope to see more new content as well as your previous videos.
🥰
Man I love this game. It’s my personal favorite of the trilogy.
Oh yeah, a new first-playthrough series. It's all coming together. Cheers and good luck!
I always shout at the collectors "Stop blowing holes in my ship!" 😂😂😂
"Why is the rum always gone?"
1:34:32
Normandy SR-1 is like the F-14 Tomcat
Normandy SR-2 is like the F-22 Raptor when it’s let off the leash
Much love, as always. Im looking forward to binging this ❤
Welcome back aboard to the Normandy Commander.
You inspired me to start this series. Part 2 is my favorite. I'm on my third play through. 😂
Losing the Normandy is traumatic enough for us keyboard warriors, let alone anyone who's had to deal with that kind of situation in real life. Mad respect. I'm glad by the end of it you were as excited for the new Normandy as I was first time I saw it.
What always hit me was that moment at 11:20 when, just before being spaced, the last thing Shepard does is hit the launch button to safely eject Joker's escape pod.
It's good to be home, huh Commander?
Yaaay I'm so happy you're enjoying the game so far! It's my favourite of the series 😊
1:37:10 but it's creepier when edge/safari start showing the same history and websites logged in (including ones with banking credentials) as chrome
Much respect for you this scene I knew it was going to hit you hard
This is the first video I see from you, but your reaction to the intro was sure enough for me to look forward to the rest of your content, you earned a sub from me, keep up the good work
Damn! Most intense reaction to the intro I've seen! Thanks for sharing. Also, I can tell by your play style = vanguard haha.
Just picked up your playthrough, I wanted to see your reaction to ME2's beginning before heading back to the first entry in the series. Your reaction was such a wonderful tribute to all the amazing people who put this game together - and to all those who worked on the remaster, and silly jokers like me too, who feel in love with it years ago.
♥
The music is iconic
I usually use people's reactions to the beginning of ME2 to decide if I want to follow their Let's Play. I definitely have a new series to watch now. 😁
1:29:23 Codex … yep, I know, it’s another reading session - but you get access to some of the more or less official history.
Just to give you a friendly warning. I will NOT, i repeat, will NOT be spoiling anything for you but, however many tissues you have on hand right now. Do yourself a favor and get more, trust me. Especially when you play the third game. This trilogy willing have you ugly crying by the end. Get. More. Tissues. Trust me.
that's how I felt when I saw the new Normandy. Granted that was over a decade ago, so yea. I hope you enjoy the rest of the game.
Saved Wrex, saved Ashley, sacrificed the council. All correct responses.
Miranda Lawson is voiced by (and modeled after) Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski. The Illusive Man is voiced by Martin Sheen.
You kept Ash alive..? You got me with you, soldier!
Glad I found your channel. Looking forward to the rest of the journey.
I’ve been sooooo looking forward to this!!!🙌🏼
Best game ever, for sure, and best trilogy ever too. A story to remember.
Definitely emotionally prepare yourself as best as you can before you get to Mass Effect 3. It will hurt greatly. Thank you for your service btw :). I am sorry for what you and others had to endure in Afghanistan
Great Start, eralia! The new Normandy is in good hands----but get your crew in shape---there's some mean battles ahead. Good Luck
ME2 is one of the most epic mass effect titles i've ever played. If you love ME1 you will be blown away with this one! Good luck commander! Also ME3 is awesome as well.
One of these days I (or someone) needs to compile a collection of streamers trying to get through the opening crawl before it disappears. This was a top-5 attempt for sure though.
I still have yet to see anyone finish reading the intro it before it disappears. LOL You came oh so close though. Thanks for another awesome stream Eralia!
Mass Effect 2 is definitely the Empire Strikes Back of the series. Darker, grittier, better produced, and better than both the titles that came before it and after.
Although at the time it was really irritating to lose all the RPG mechanics from the first game, and have the gameplay turned into Gears of War... in SPAAAAAACE! Wish they'd remake the trilogy and give 2 and 3 the love they deserve.
'Udina' might be his name, but he wil now and forever be 'Urchin Watsiznuts' in all my playthroughs and conversations.
Cerberus was the group who killed Admiral Kohohu. They also were messing with trying building a super army with Rachni and Thorians in secret bases.
