Camera begins in QEC room as Kaidan ends a call; we follow him through the science lab, he nods at several crewmembers engaged in experiments, past the offices and boardroom and into the CIC.

0.06:     [VO]  JOKER: It’s weird, without her here.

0.10:     [VO]  GARRUS: Yeah. Yeah, it is.

Camera leaves Kaidan, strafes left behind the galaxy map: we see Traynor at her workstation, more crewmembers at other stations.

0.14:     [VO] JOKER: Where to, Captain?

0.16:     [VO] GARRUS: Ha. Ah… You know what, Joker?

Camera swings around port side of the CIC and up towards the cockpit, where we see Garrus standing behind Joker’s chair on his left, looking out the front viewscreens, right hand on the headrest. Camera hovers a couple feet behind and to the right.

0.21:          GARRUS: Let’s go to Omega.

Joker begins tapping on his controls.

0.23:          JOKER: Aye aye, sir: one trip to the Sahrabarik system, comin’ right up.

Camera curves right and down, so we’re looking up at Garrus from about the level of Joker’s hands. Joker in the bottom-left of the frame, Garrus in top-right.

0.28:          JOKER: You ready for this?

Garrus doesn’t respond immediately, still looking straight ahead. We see his hand tighten briefly on the headrest, then:

0.34:          GARRUS: Take us out.

0.35-0.39:

Cut to starfield, Mass Effect logo fades in then out again as the Normandy, the Austerlitz, and the Alarei fly by, wiping to:

0.39-0.41:

A dark mass relay flares to life with a blinding burst of light.

0.41-0.43:

A door lock goes from red to green and it slides open: Tali rushes in, frantically typing on her omnitool.

0.43-0.46:

A bright blue shockwave of electricity clears, and we see Shepard standing in defensive position in front of Garrus amidst the ruins of a city, who is holding Viatrix and half-turning back, shielding her.

0.46-0.48:

The Illusive Man takes a drag on his cigar, looking out at the supergiant outside his office; Shepard comes to stand a couple feet away from him, arms crossed, leaning back on a hip: they look at each other.

0.48-0.50:

Daro’Xen and Anderson on either side of a geth prime in a dark warehouse; Xen is kneeling, omnitool on, and Anderson has two limbs in casts.

0.50-0.51:

A Kodiak shuttle flies off into a dark and partially cloudy sky as a brunette in Alliance uniform watches it go. Camera is at her left shoulder.

0.51-0.57:

Shepard and Garrus stand back-to-back on a platform (Ontarom, Firebase Dagger), fighting off geth: Garrus has the Widow, Shepard has the Locust. Camera swirls around them as they fight – Garrus takes a shot, fires an overload; Shepard reloads, fires off an incinerate, unloads the SMG into whatever’s in front of her.

0.57-0.59:

Garrus and Aelianus stand in sparsely furnished quarters, a low table between them: Garrus steps forward and points angrily at Aelianus; Aelianus steps back, mandibles flaring, hands rising slightly.

0.59-1.01:

Shepard stands on a dais in the middle of an amphitheatre, lifting her arms, as the dimly-seen attendees stand and applaud.

1.01-1.04:

Bakara stands on a great stone platform, looking out over the Tuchanka horizon, baby just barely visible in her arms. Camera sees her from the back.

1.04-1.06:

Thick jungle, fuzzy drone footage: we see, from the front, half a dozen human men and women in dark brown and yellow armour with red circles, slicing through foliage with omniblades, guns held close and at the ready.

1.06-1.07:

Lincoln points at Hackett in the witness chair. Camera is from defense table position.

1.07-1.10:

Bakara leans forward over a boardroom table, slams her hand down onto it then points at Valern, who is sitting across the table from her. Other visible councillors: Sparatus (to Bakara’s right), Ari’ka (to Sparatus’ right; only half in frame), Balak, Tevos, and Din Korlack along the side to Bakara’s left; Irdryllyn, Valern, and Bekkam (only partially in frame) along the right side of the frame.

1.10-1.21:

Shepard, in full armour, stands on a desolate plain, nothing but gray rock as far as the eye can see: the sky is light purple, and far off in the distance is an enormous black rift. Camera is behind her and to her left, at about waist or shoulder-height.

1.21-1.27:

Garrus and Shepard kissing in the Citadel apartment, eyes closed, Shepard’s hands on the sides of his face: the air around them begins to glow. Camera is focused on torso or shoulders-up, turns a slow half-circle around them.

1.27-1.29:

A figure on a stage, shrouded in flaring electricity, bright enough that the other people on the stage are only shadows, and the figure right in front of them is a silhouette. Camera is in the audience, house right, a dozen rows back from the stage.

1.29-1.31:

Tali walks among her crew and several geth mobile platforms in a small laboratory, omnitool lit; she confers with a geth, beckons a crewmember over.

1.31-1.37:

Zaeed leaps back against a building, Jessie clutched to his chest; camera moves past him as he swings out to fire. We see Liara and Jack standing a few feet apart: they fire off simultaneous biotic attacks that send a half-dozen Minos operatives flying. James and Tali run up between them, shotguns in hand, then stagger as a Harvester rears up out of the dust.

1.37-1.43:

Garrus, in black stealth armour, leaps from a broken wall onto a gunship. He slams his omnitool against it and jumps off. Shepard, also in black armour, streaks out from the left side of the frame and hits him full on. The gunship sparks and falls out of frame to the left; camera follows Shep and Garrus as he throws her further. She skids to a halt, his guns in her hands, and he finishes in a three-point landing.

1.43-1.46:

Starfield, three massive space stations looming out of the darkness: single horizontal rings with curving vertical spikes (five on top, five on the bottom, offset by one). Normandy comes out of FTL flight and approaches them.

1.46-1.48:

Shepard and Javik, looking up at a massive, not-quite-visible underwater ruin through glass. Camera is behind them, near the ground, so we get a true idea of how big this thing is – i.e., Leviathan-sized.

1.48-1.52:

Shepard stalks through the Presidium, flinging her hands out and tossing people telekinetically to the side. Camera is ahead of her, near the ground. [parallel to shot of Saren in ME1]

1.52-1.56:

Starfield: Normandy enters the frame, flying right-to-left, then engages tactical cloak and shimmers out of sight.

1.56-2.00:

Nondescript blue background, black ground; silhouette of Shepard, Viatrix, and Garrus from the back, standing and holding hands—then crew fades in alongside.

2.00-2.01:

Full frame: bright green eyes, dark eyelashes, pale skin; they swirl blue-white and glow.

2.01-end:

Cut to black; ME logo and EOTA title fade in then out.
