            'The team had bought a few more months of development, but Watamaniuk and Hudson knew that even with extra time they needed to make a few trims to the story. "It's not how much work you've done, it's how much work you have left to do," Watamaniuk told the team in a meeting at which the scope of the game was discussed. After much deliberation, what was known as the first "CAT" or catalyst mission, where the player would meet a Prothean alien for the first time, was removed from the overarching plot. The mission would later be completed as post-release content, but to many on the team it was a heartbreaking loss.
            
            Of course no decission on a game like Mass Effect is made in isolation. The removal of the Prothean mission had a domino effect on other elements of the story. In the original plot a key mission would take place on the planet Thessia, the Asari home world. Part of that mission was to involve the Illusive Man kidnapping the Prothean and extracting information from him. But due to the character's removal from the main story, the designers needed to change around the Thessia mission so the Illusive Man picks up the Prothean data in another way.'
            --Chp.9, p.4, The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3, Geoff Keighley
