The first animation is of Liara, a researcher, working at her desk in the Normandy.
With partial inspiration from the Lofi Girl, this composition features a chill work setting, interfaces referencing the in-game environment, and the appearance of the info drone Glyph.
The second animation is of Garrus calibrating at his console with Tali, a moment of two friends sharing a quiet moment dotted with some chatting and friendly banter here and there.
The third and final animation is of the Reapers descending on Earth, taking inspiration from the Mass Effect 3: Take Earth Back Cinematic Trailer to depict an ominous scene amidst an otherwise joyful, vibrant setting.
