I recently learned about cut phrase from the final sentence of the Harbinger, after
"That which you know as Reapers are your salvation through destruction." he said.
"You will surrender your potential against the growing void."
"We return, and you will rise!"
I learned this from the subtitle file.
When you consider that the motives of the Reapers more than the destruction, if they want to help, let such a horrible way, you have to fight until the moment while you can win, but the fight to the death does not make sense. If you see that the resistance will not lead to victory, it is logical to surrender and accept the gift of greatness.
To go beyond life and death, to become someone out of time, to find the ultimate meaning of existence.
I would like to see in one of the endings Mass Effect 3 Human-Reaper said by metallic voice of Shepard:
"The cycle can not be broken."
Because it would be symbolic. Shepard realizes that resistance is no longer possible, we can not win, Reapers can not be stopped and have only way - to surrender and accept the gift of the Reapers.
Reapers are not empty AI they have motives deeper than global destruction.
When millions are processed into jellies, creates a unified consciousness, but consciousness is aware of himself as a representative of the destroyed race. Accepting motives of the Reapers.
- Sovereign: "We are each a nation. Independent, free of all weakness."
For example, all religions talk about life after death, the soul abandons the body, moving to another state of being.
People believe that their life will not end after bodily death. People believe that their soul is immortal.
But nobody can find the material immortality - the bodily immortality.
Therefore, everyone scared to die, nobody knows whether there is in reality a different life.
Perhaps in the distant past Reapers did not wanted to die and have created a way to keep your consciousness in this reality, in the form of an indestructible material form, free of all weakness.
Their body has become the machine, but the consciousness remains the same.
The consciousness of living beings.
I sincerely believe that the Reapers are not ancient Skynet.
All once begins.
And in the heyday race Reapers, when they were not metal monsters, they too were not alone. Must have been other races.
Everything has a beginning, but everything has an end.
Occurred an event which prompted the Reapers to become such - the flesh in the metal. Everyone should understand that no one, on their own, do not agree to be processed into jelly, and then become a monster, but it was a necessary measure. Otherwise death.
But in those days, Reapers have not destroyed other races. Other races may have found other ways to survive after the cataclysm. They were "beings of light ". They did not turn into metal monsters, they are transformed, moved to a new level of life.
After many years of Reapers began to justify themselves, by what they have. They thought it was a weal, they not only saved themselves, now they top of evolution, now they gods.
They decided that the gods could decide the fate of others.
They will choose a worthy, to bring them closer to the gods.
"Beings of light " decided that they will be watching, but never will not interfere in the affairs of mortals.
Here's a story.
I see several possible endings of Mass Effect:
- Heavy losses, there is no chance of winning, Shepard takes the side of the Reapers, as Saren he does it to save lives. Humanity becomes the new Reaper, people are no more, but they will be one of those who step to a new level of evolution. The Cycle can not be broken.
- The Allies came to the rescue, but their strength is not enough, Reapers can not be stopped, they are indestructible. And at a time, when light of hope is almost extinguished, come those who always watched, but never interfered in the course of events. I'm talking about the "beings of light", those about who were in the vision of volus on planet Klenkory.
I told you, I think, incredible story where all actions have meaning. It was much harder than it seems that evil is not absolute, that every evil have a motives. That is not so obvious as it seems at first glance.
Retour en haut
We'll see what happens.
