Plotting Post: "Your EDI and You!"
Or, "How to put up a plotting post way hella late in the day!"
So, this Dead Space plot is pretty exciting for me, for this reason: "The pulse has canonly disrupted many computer systems, though, and may scramble them."
Now, according to Mass Effect wiki, (correct me if I'm wrong) EDI's AI core, like the Geth, is a quantum computer, which is a very awesome thing for many reasons. However, it's also a thing that prevents EDI from transferring out of her core, since the quantum states in it are basically what defines her. You could turn it off and on again, but then the quantum states would be different and whatever's in there wouldn't be EDI anymore. It might add up to "an AI" but it won't necessarily be a desirable one.
Oh wait.
Did you say that there's a signal coming from a creepy monolith that's going to scramble computers and make AI all strange, if they're affected? Whoops. >:3
Rampant AI are awesome, right you guys? Right?
So the basic idea is, in some fashion, EDI gets affected by the Pulse from the Marker. Trace and I have concocted a plan in which EDI and Joker go on a "IT'S NOT A DATE, IT'S BABYSITTING" in a zone conveniently near the plot and EDI ends up getting screwed over via that direction when a newly-made necromorph hops out and mauls her android body. She leaves it there as basically a security camera and Joker gets out alive but the beacon is still affecting something that is ostensibly attached to her consciousness.
You with me still? Yes? Good, awesome.
Because from that point on, it all goes downhill.
EDI will begin deteriorating as more and more of her mind gets...for lack of a better term, mutated by the pulse's scrambling effects. At first it'll be perception issues, then it'll get worse until she's hacking the door controls to lock everyone out of Normandy Haus, giggling like a crazy, lying in an attempt to get her crew into deadly situations, and generally pulling a less-than-subtle GLaDOS on everyone.
And in the end, when everything's gone, she'll flip over to being some other AI. Not one that's evil, but one that very seriously dislikes you, and is incredibly unhelpful. It is presumed that the Normandy crew may have a problem with this.
At some arbitrary point, Joker pulls the plug in an epic sadfaec death scene and a very very confused EDI pops out of the Kurzweil teleporter, since that was when her AI core was last teleported anywhere.
Meanwhile, mayhem, rudeness, network shenanigans, ect.
Please help contribute if you have any good ideas, guys!
Potential Symptoms of Madness (suggest more please yaaaaay!) :D
super-duper paranoia
lying about stuff
being creepily possessive
thinking/hallucinating that they're all back on the Normandy
locking people out/in Normandy Haus
laughing
lying about all the previous
insulting people to their faces
Contribute, make plans, ask questions have fun? Yay plottan!

Perhaps GLaDOS encounters him while he's having massive errors? She's already so damned glitchy, I doubt even the Marker could mess her systems up worse than they already are. She'd totally offer to help get him back up to spec.
And by Spec, I mean she'll install her OS in his head. (An outdated system which Legion's geth programs will be able to overwrite without issue once the Marker is gone, doubtless, but convenient for our temporary purposes.)

He's cool with just shooting at people, right?
He can replace the rocket turret as the final difficult artillery.
Unless you have cool ideas? :D :D :D
