Come to think of it, something was off...about him.

[Lenimph]

That kid reminded me of the little girl from Aliens... hiding in the air ducts and such.

Seems like the begginning of indoctrination, to me.

Kids, female aliens, FemShep on the cover of the CE, same-sex romances....Really do love BioWare!
As for the kid, he was so cute...I think he was real, just scared and crawled away. I hope we see him again, though.

Maybe at the end of the game.

[Oblivious]

I too came to the conclusion that Shepard is suffering indoctrination side effects from Arrival. Maybe at the end, depending on how much you explored that plot, he will be able to resist indoctrination or will fight it. I am really REALLY hoping that Shepard's background plays a role

[The-Person]

Would be interesting if the kid showed up every now and again.

[dafatcat]

It felt pretty cheap and forced in my opinion.

[S Atomeha]

yea thinking about it.. when Anderson comes in and the kid disappears you don't hear anyone in the ducts like you did when Shepard goes to investigate it.

[blackashes411]

Is it safe to assume that Shepard and Anderson were escaping from some Alliance Government building?

I may be looking way too into this, but ...... if this^ was true, it does raise some eyebrows finding a kid there, in an Alliance building of all places. >.>

Glad to see I'm not the only one who felt there was something off about that scene. It was sad, and tugged at the heartstrings, but at the same time there was a very eerie undertone. While I'm not sure indoctrination will actually happen, I wouldn't be surprised if the Reapers are messing with Shepard. S/he did get a nice blast from Object Rho after all, and spent two days sedated and surrounded by indoctrinees.

Or I'm just so shocked that there was actually a kid that I feel I have to justify it. Either one works.

isn't shepard supposed to be at a trial?

[Comsky159]

Ever since I heard Clint Mansell was doing the soundtrack, I knew ME3 was going to do something a lot more intimate with Shepard's character. This scene was just a work of art and has particular metaphorical meaning for a player choosing the colonist background. I've always liked the classic image of a hero shaped by pain and loss, who struggled alone through despair to become exceptional and it seems like we're really getting the opportunity to see this image clearly for the first time.
Subtly and beautifully done.

Bioware, I love you.

technically a United States Postal Office is a federal buildiing. But Shepard was supposed to be on trial so maybe it's a court room. Or maybe it's like NYC where, since everything is built vertically, there are multiple functions to any building like a bank who also has a dentist on a different floor and a physician on an additional floor

[TheCrakFox]

The kid being an illusion would explain why Anderson didn't seem to notice or care.

[Quinnzel]

Probably just Shep beginning to be indoctrinated. Reapers playing off his fear of everyone dying. Or it could just be a kid. Kids get scared too ya know, especially when gigantic space cthulus tear up the place.

[DoNotIngest]

Yes, I got a really eerie feeling when he dissapeared, too... And how Anderson doesn't notice him, good point... Creaped me the hell out.


Now i'm sitting in a dark, window-filled room, alone, in the middle of the night, with that eyes-are-watching-me feeling. Greeeeat =(

[Comsky159]

It's not indoctrination.

I don't know how you could possibly justify that, it's not like he's sympathising with the reapers (which is the whole point of the process). Whether you see it as a hallucination, or reality, I think this has to be through Shepard's eyes/mind alone.

This is what has me wondering. I know Anderson is a professional soldier, but I find it hard to believe even he wouldn't try to rescue a kid. If this is the work of the Reapers. Good on them, for doing more then simply assuming direct control of our squadmates. Indoctrination is suppose to be subtle and this fits the bill in that regard.

Well, you said it yourself, it's a process, a gradual one at that: FORCIBLY turning those against the Reapers into allies of their own. From the Arrival DLC, Dr. Kenson WANTED to stop the reapers in the first place, but failed to fight of the indoctrination. Something similar MIGHT be happening with Shepard.

The game just started when the kid scene came on, at that point Shepard couldn't possibly have gone all "I LOVE YOU REAPERZZZZZ", clearly. But the kid might be a sign of this possibly happening.

Honestly, given how Sheppard can take any form that the player chooses, I'm pretty sure that kid was not a piece of his imagination.

At the beginning of the demo, Shep and Anderson walked from the top of one building to the top of another - it's perfectly conceivable that the next building isn't a government building.  And, of course, there's no reason for Shep or Anderson to have started out the demo at a government building either.  We don't know how much in game time had elapsed since the trial scene, or what Shep and Anderson had done in the meantime.

Anyway, I'm sure the kid had a perfectly logical reason to be there, if there was, in fact, a kid.  And I think there was.

Well, the kid never came out of the vent.  If he's real, I don't think Anderson could see him from that angle.

The music made that scene awesome..

However I think it was an illusion.
