Thanks Brain 
I wondered how Shepard survived his own death. I mean, isn't it that you have just four minutes to revive someone before brain got damaged too much? Shepard was in space for more than just four minutes and even entered a planet's athmosphere. In that case the corpse burned - not much was left than broken bones and maybe parts of soft tissue protected by armor.
So how did Shepard's mind survive? "Greybox" sounds like a possible solution. Kasumi and her partner got one, maybe that's a hint on how Shepard survived.
Whatever, mystery stays a mystery for today - will go to bed now, so gn8 everyone.
Lol. I'm just imagining a 'James Bond' kind of Shepard... Now I just killed the image of Jon-Mal being a space cowboy. Anyway. Yes. I agree, he must have some kind of grey box or something to keep his mind intact, or maybe ME2 Shepard's a fake with a massively advanced AI imprinted onto a bio-organic brain? Honestly, I think that's the more plausible solution, but I think ME3 might overrule me. But remember what Miranda's recordings say? 'Damage is far worse than originally fear, but I'm assured that '
SALVAGING' the subject is possible.'. 'Salvage'? Not 'Reconstruction'? Notice the different turn of phrase? Miranda probably already gathered at that point that Shepard was impossible to revive and trued to salvage his corpse and pull a 'Frankensten', putting new parts in a dead body and making a 'new' Shepard from the remains of the original.
Maybe he had a mission before hand that would require him to install a greybox (and maybe if that were the case, he'd be able to produce more evidence about the Reapers being a truth rather than a figment of his imagination. Athough it's a pretty powerful imaginary enemy considering that it blew up half of the city when it lands - Lol. Aha... Bad humour...
Anyway. I imagine that being a SF, Shepard would have at least had some experience with undercover work, or trained for it at one point, especially if they are an inflitrator class - whose job on and off the Battlefield is pretty much 'Infiltrate'. There's so many possiblities. And If he had one... I'm not sure he'd want Ashley prying in it.
Ashley: Shepard, You have a greybox?
Shepard: ... Nooo.
Ashley: They're illegal, Jonathan-Mal.
Shepard: Uh - One, they're used by spies, and Two: Seriously? My full name? Was that meant to sound menacing?
Ashley: Fine, were you a spy at one point?
Shepard: I can't answer that.
Ashley: Hypothetically then.
Shepard: Alright, Hypothetically, lets say I was.
Ashley: And would you have a greybox installed?
Shepard: Under those circumstances, if I were ever killed or captured, the device is designed to store and block the memories relating to what my captors my have been after.
Ashley: Hypothetically speaking. Would you still have it?
Shepard: Removing such a... deeply embedded implant would be dangerous to the subject, possibly even causing brain-death. Something which is not very fun.
Ashley: So if it were installed, you would still have it? Hypothetically.
Shepard: Yes, I'd imagine so.
Ashley: And it would still be inside your head since Cerberus tried to rebuild you to as close as orignal as possible.
Shepard: I suppose.
Ashley: I see...
Shepard: ... I feel this is going to become uncomfortable.
Ashley: Are there memories of me naked in that thing? <_<
Shepard: .... 
Ashley: 
Shepard: 
Ashley: Run Jon. While you still can.
Shepard: *bolts. Ash bolts after him swearing.*
