Litres of tears shed waiting for this DLC?

You can see the Reapers at the Mass Relay! Dont you see them? They are yellowish in color!

Maybe the numbers are how many Reapers have PASSED TROUGH the Relay and you have to shut down the Relay before even more Reapers come!

It's official earth is effed:O

Okay, i think this might fly - bear with me...

Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) 990510 was discovered in May 1999. This was the remnant of a huge cosmic explosion way deep in space. See http://www.eso.org/p...mages/eso9926g/
Additionally, The explosion that caused this GRB represents the most powerful explosion in the known universe...

Now, according to the Astronomy and Astrophysics Journal of June 21, 1999, The Galactic Co-ordinates of GRB 990510 is: 304.942

Possible link?

I have all the anwsers here

That's.. very specific, gavccu. But very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

My post from the other thread, since it's relevant here:

Fiery Phoenix wrote...

If the countdown is the number of minutes until the Reaper invasion (i.e. ME3's release date), then that would translate to 211 days. However, because there are 365 days in a year, subtracting 211 from 365 yields 154 days, which in turn translates to approximately 5.13 months. 5.13 months into 2011 winds up being May 3-4th, which is Tuesday-Wednesday. That is, the official release date of Arrival.

Of course, this is just some wild speculation. I hope it comes out before then.

Also, while very interesting, Gav, I doubt they would go so deep as to consider the velocity of the Milky Way and other astrophysical phenomena.

That is an ingenious premise, no really.

You could play it and get an excellent introduction of the Arrival through an epic subplot dealing with the Reapers. But if you don't buy it, there is only a minor story change in ME3 (unlike LOTSE, how is BioWare going to manage that?).

It could definitely be a link in my opinion.  That's one of the most interesting anomalies in space and would be cool to tie it into Mass Effect and Reapers.

WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN MASON?!

i am also intrigued by this speculation.

My thoughts:

30h 49m 42s

or:

How many Reapers have passed through the relay and Shepard must shut down the relay to prevent the Reapers access to the rest of the galaxy. That would leave them isolated to earth (Ultimate Sacrifice achievement) and ME3 would be ready to begin.

[azerSheppard]

The DLC is named "The Arrival" right? Isn't that an obvious refference to the reapers? And should this last DLC be bridging ME2 and ME3? And the last thing we see is the Reapers arrive, maybe they found another way to jump into the milky way?

I don't know how the female prisoner fits into that though.

[intersect]

How much of each resource you must planet-scan before ME3 release in order to save earth?

In all seriousness, maybe it's a distance? They've finally detected the reaper fleet and that's how many light years away the reapers are. Since the Milky way is roughly 100,000 light years in diameter, 304942 would put them quite a bit into dark space.

[The real truth]

It could be the number of Mass relays.

The time before the Reapers come.

If the latter is true, then Earth really is doomed. But you'd think that the reapers probably have a way of getting around without them or discovering one hidden elsewhere - Earth maybe? *takes off tinfoil hat*

I don't think they needed to go out that far.

[The real truth]

The time in which you must complete the main story of Mass effect 2 for a good ending in Mass effect 3

The time in which you must complete the main story of Mass effect 3.

30 hr 49 min 42 s


Mass effect 1/2/3 under that time.

It could refer to a death toll of some sort.
I don't think the number refers to size of the reaper fleet but if it does we shall all be screwed, especially if the reapers have more than one of this guy:

[King Gigglez]

30 49 42, 03 March 42 = 24 March 24 is the release date XD just watch that be the case

[ashwind]

The number of reapers Shepard gets to kill

Based on the bolded concept we could be finding out within the next 12 hours.... egads I hope so.

I bet you are right, gavccu its too big of a coincidence for it just to be random numbers that just happen to be the coordinates to grb 990510.  Maybe this is where the reapers will enter the galaxy.  On a diferent note I don't think shutting down a mass relay would do much to stop the reapers, they are millions or billions of years more advanced than us, they may have found a way to bend the laws of relativity so that they could travel faster than light.  Also, remember that you can do a mass relay jump, without using a mass relay shepard did it to avoid that collector vessal that was coming back online.

[Made Nightwing]

Well, It's either Ashley William's phone number *Bow Chicka Bow Wow*, or the number of aneyrysms that fans are going to have while waiting for the truth to be revealed.

[Doctor Solus]

Seeing as how someone pointed out the galaxy is about 100k ly in diameter, then 304 942 is approximatively the circumference.

He doesn't do a Mass Relay jump, hu uses a conventional FTL (Faster Than Light) jump. That is fast enough to get you f*ckin' far away, fast, but not to travel on a galactic, or universal scale. That you have the Mass Relays for. They remove all mass in a straight line so that ships can travel through at virtually unlimited speed.

Although, it would be theoretically possible for the reapers to build that kind of technology onto them selves. Or it is possible that not even the reapers have that kind of knowledge, and that the relays were built limited like they are, by those who created the reapers.
