I got it!
I put the pieces of the puzzle together. Here's my theory;
Object Rho, which you have to pick up, is not the object from the latest comic (Evolution), but rather something related to Mass/Volume. Rho is the greek letter and it symbolizes Volumetric Mass. So yes, it refers to the Mass Effect technology from the series.
I'm thinking it's the key that would activate the dark switch in the mass relays. The ultimate sacrifice would be activating the relays' dark switch, which either destroys the relays or turns them into a weapon (What the heck do you know, they're giant mass accelerators...How could they not be used as weapons?); Perhaps this weapon sends some kind of EMP or waves that disable and destroy any and all tech, including...You guessed it, The Reapers.
Perhaps the ultimate sacrifice could be something like; Give the galaxy a chance and destroy the relays, but segregating/dissolving the galactic community (Paragon), or turn them into weapons, which would leave the Reapers a chance to annihilate entirely the galactic community, but also perhaps give everyone the upper hand...Perhaps still, even then, it would destroy any and all technology. (Renegade)
Well reasoned and sensible speculation.
