@Omega4RelayResident: Perhaps you missed my last post on the previous page.We can communicate directly with a future species.Here's how:
Side Quest : Time Capsule - Part 3There is a Cerberus Daily News Report that speaks of an unknown alien race that has managed to find a way to become virtually ageless and retain their personalities:
08/11/2010 - Alien AI-Controlled Ship Makes Contact in Salarian Space
“Alarms rang throughout the salarian system of Antilin yesterday when an alien ship bearing a strong AI signature triggered fears of a geth attack. Renko Turwin, Director of Near-Orbital Security, explained:
"When evidence of powerful AI heuristics was detected onboard, our security forces thought it was the vanguard of a geth invasion. However,we consulted quarian scientific advisors who assured us that the signals
failed to match any known geth signature." According to Turwin, the biggest surprise came next: "The ship's intelligence then communicated with us. It asked us to calculate the value of Pi to the first quadrillion digits. Some 20 questions followed after that, all of them beyond our realm of expertise. We're currently awaiting advice from
outside consultants before proceeding. As yet, the ship matches no known alien species."”
It is later discovered that it houses an entire community of a sentient alien species.Who has managed to find a way to cheat death, retain their personalities - mind will and emotions:
08/19/2010 - MIT Exo-Biologist Claims Astonishing Antilin "Ghost Ship" Discovery “The scientific community is abuzz today after the latest report from MIT exo-biologist Jordan Detweiler was filed last night from the Antilin System, where he's currently investigating a mysterious "ghost ship."
Claiming a breakthrough, Detweiler writes, "What I've discovered is nothing short of astonishing: This so-called derelict ship isn't derelict at all. It appears that an alien race has downloaded its consciousness to a massive array of quantum computers on board the vessel. It's my belief these aliens now reside entirely in a virtual
world and have been there for at least 8,000 years." Detweiler estimates the population of the virtual world numbers close to one billion individuals.
He explains: "The ship's AI is something of a caretaker to these people, or even a god depending on how you look at it. More importantly,the AI is now requesting our help. It says a power failure is imminent and threatens the entire virtual civilization."
The Reaction:
08/21/2010 - Opinions Mixed After Discovery of "Ghost Ship" Virtual Civilization “Opinions were plentiful this week after MIT's Jordan Detweiler stunned the scientific world when he revealed the existence of a virtual alien civilization residing in a derelict "ghost ship". Niran Patalung, a Buddhist scholar at the Center for Religious Studies in Bangkok, said, "I'm struck by the parallels to ancient human beliefs in
reincarnation.Clearly, life does not end for these aliens when they 'die.' Their souls, if you will, simply re-inhabit other virtual personalities and continue living." Thomas Copeland, spokesman for an Earth-based atheist
group, disagreed: "That's true until you pull the plug. Then what? All these 'souls' just wink out, that's what. Those who would latch onto this incident as proof of some higher level of existence are simply projecting their own wishful thinking onto digital noise." Mr. Patalung replied: "One man's noise is another man's music. Perhaps in his next life, Mr. Copeland will be less tone-deaf."
The Decision:
08/27/2010 - Alien "Ghost Ship" Saga Ends Under Veil of Secrecy “The saga of the alien "ghost ship" has come to a surprising end. Earlier today, reports surfaced that the Citadel Council was prepared to rule against saving the ship, fearing its AI system was sophisticated enough
to pose a "security threat of unknown dimensions." In response, chief scientist Jordan Detweiler inserted himself into the virtual alien world to warn its citizens of their civilization's imminent end. He returned one minute later -- apparently equal to half a year within the accelerated timeline of the alien world -- bringing a treaty offer from
its inhabitants. At that point, details turn sketchy. One inside source claims the virtual aliens offered scientific advancements "far beyond anything we have" in return for assistance. A veil of secrecy was immediately erected, with Citadel intelligence agencies classifying the matter as top-secret. Rumors now have Jordan Detweiler embarking on a Council-sanctioned mission into the virtual world to make diplomatic contact.”
So we know that the Citadel Council has some radical technology that has nothing to do with the Reapers planned design.And this is the conclusion:
09/26/2010 - Volunteers Step Forward to Swap Places with Virtual Aliens“Deadlocked Council deliberations over the fate of Ambassador Sygan ended today with a surprising twist: the Council will grant asylum to the virtual alien emissary in the body of a volunteer, allowing famed MIT
exobiologist Dr. Jordan Detweiler to return to his own body. Ambassador Sygan will transfer her consciousness into the volunteer's body, while the volunteer's consciousness is downloaded into a computer.Upon hearing
this decision, some 400 individuals from various races have volunteered to "swap places" with aliens inside the virtual world who wish to re-join the physical universe. One asari volunteer regarded this as "an
amazing opportunity to explore a new realm of existence," while a salarian volunteer said, "I'm doing it because I'm tired of our universe. It's a mess."
And here in lies a way for Commander Shepard and Co. to survive the Reaper War.If worse comes to worse... There is a text from the video game
Out-lander that is appropriate here:
30,000 Years Ago
Fall back through time
Become the ancient hero
Let his spirits, dark and light
Arm you in this final battle
Imprisoned by a hero, a soul waiting through the ages.
His time has come again -- and so has theirs...
Commander Shepard in the distant future uses this technology as it was used in his time.The future alien races recognises how much of an assest he can be to them, but he tells them what Bruce Willis says
to Billy Bob Thortons character in Armageddon:
"You brought me here b/c somebody told you that I was the best Spectre.But i'm only the best because I work with the best."
His teammates who survived join him in this New Galaxy, to do all within their power to defeat the Reapers for good...
