They flew to AC at sublight, they might have just been frozen for the journey.

Am I the only one who's finding it suspiciously interesting that this chain of news has been going for like a week now? I don't think this has happened before.

It's happened plenty of times. There was the Ghost Ship saga. Taetrus seemed neverending.

Didn't Garvug run for quite a while as well?

Not to mention the zombie president. Wonder how that's working out for them.

Wait descendants are these people the original colonists? Which makes them immortal or something? or am I reading this wrong?

Seriously WTF. The descendants on earth would have to be at least 120 years old.

... which is well within the 150 year life expectancy of humans at that point. Plus the being frozen for some of that time.

I enjoy reading the accompanying commentary to the articles on the CDN site, since they're (mostly) from the perspective of in-universe characters. They're also often quite funny.

Well you have to think this is assuming they were children when they travelled, very unliekly. They would be near if not over 150 years by now.

Actually, Shepard says they are lucky to live to be 150.

Oh, yeah.  The first story was on 3/28/10.  The final story? 12/27/10.  Around 40 entries in total.  Taetrus had even more entries: around 60, starting on 2/23/10 and ending on 12/20/10

Alpha Centauri's got nothing on those, with its measly 5 entries at this point.

As noted, that's if they're lucky.  Also, that figure applies to the humans who've been part of galactic civilization post-contact with the Citadel.  It's really not that hard: they did not have FTL.  The Charon Relay had not been discovered, nor had the prothean cache that led to said relay. The amount of subjective time that's passed for them is way less than the ~110 years since their departure.

I've always wondered if Zombie-president was a nod to Cerberus intervention with the Lazarus project.

It seems like just the sort of thing Cerberus would try and get away with. 'The President's dead. We don't trust his vice-president to take Humanity in the right direction. Let's maintain a farce until we revive him in secret.'

And revive him with upgrades, no doubt. Cerberus control chip for those... crucial decisions?

I'd love to see that colony in ME3.

[klossen4]

they are the forerunners and in me3 we learn we are the next evolution.

Did their family members stop breeding then when the colonists went on the expedition?

[D.Sharrah]

“Some closure today in the case of the lost colonists of the Manswell Expedition: after educating the colonists on the state of galactic affairs, Alliance personnel asked the group where they wished to live. Nearly half of them voted to stay on the planet, with one of them saying "Everything has changed so much that I don't see how I could ever go back. Mass relays? The Citadel? Robot wars? I wouldn't know what to make of any of that. I feel like a caveman seeing New York for the first time." Others were eager to rejoin galactic life. "I just discovered one of my descendents is still alive," another colonist explained. "How weird will that be, going back to see him?" An Alliance sociologist said they will help the colonists assimilate into modern life if they choose to return to Earth. "Follow-up interviews and seeing how they adjust should be fascinating," she said.”



Looks like today may be the final entry for this story...I guess we will have to wait and see for sure. Definetly interesting. This is just one of the reasons that I love BIOWARE! They continue to an amazing job coming up with such cool ways to expand the universe.

With all the reporting on garvug they did I'm kinda hoping general partinax makes an appearance in ME3. He had some cool quotes.

Partinax was on Taetrus, not Garvug.
