Greg Adams

=== Early Career ===
Prior to serving on the first Normandy, Lieutenant Gregory Adams had severed on every class of Alliance starships. His last posting before the events of Mass Effect had been the SSV Tokyo, though in his own words the Tokyo "couldn't hold a candle to the Normandy".

=== Mass Effect ===
Adams was hand picked by then-Captain David Anderson to serve as the Chief Engineer for the SSV Normandy SR-1. As such, he was very familiar with the state-of-the-art IES stealth systems and the experimental Tantalus Drive Core.
When Commander Shepard assumed command of the Normandy during the hunt for Saren, Adams took the newly-recruited Tali'Zorah under his wing. He complimented Shepard on her eye for talent, speculating that if Tali stayed with them for more than a month, she'd know more than he does about the engines. The two of them would often work together to salvage technology.
=== Post Mass Effect ===
Engineer Adams survived the attack that destroyed the Normandy. Afterwards, he was reassigned like most of the rest of the surviving crew. Dr. Chakwas extended the offer from Cerberus to join her on the newly built Normandy SR-2, but he declined due to their earlier run-ins with Cerberus, and the impossibility of them bringing Shepard back from the dead. He would later regret not joining the crew.
=== Mass Effect 3 ===
When the Alliance confiscated the SR-2 when Commander Shepard turned herself into their custody, the Alliance tapped Adams as the obvious choice to investigate the ship and bring her up to the Alliance rules and regulations. Over time, Adams grew suspicious that the on-board VI was in fact an AI- and went about trying to deactivate it, while EDI tried to thwart him without appearing to do so.
When the Reaper's attacked Earth, the Normandy left with the crew that had been on board at the time. During the war, Adams would devise an improvement to the Normandy's drive core thermals by not allowing the core to vent into engineering. After Shepard pardoned and re-recruited Kenneth Donnelly and Gabriella Daniels, Daniels made a breakthrough that was helpful to the Crucible project. Adams also acted as a proponent of synthetic life, despite trying to deactivate EDI earlier.
