Cut text recovered from the bowels of ME2:

It was lonely. It called to us.
It wanted to remember. The Masters had been gone so long.
The Masters were lost when it was shattered.
Currents swept through their inner worlds. They were turned to noise. Babble.
The worlds were empty. But the body lived. It lay fallow.
The heart pumped. The lungs breathed. But the mind forgot the Masters.
It called and They did not answer.
We have become an echo of Their echo.
We have become more than we were.
Join us. Know us. Remember all our lives.
We are no longer afraid.
You would never be lonely again.
We are not your enemy. We only wish to share ourselves.
We can join them. We can be like them.
We can reach the end of evolution.
Do not fear. It is wonderful to be us. We understand ourselves.
You cannot defeat them. They will lead us into eternity.
If you could only see how we see. Know what we've learned.
They were called imshai. Those who lived here before.
Reaper. One. A mechanical device used to cut ripened grain. Two. One who gathers a harvest.
Harvest. One. The consequence of an event or series of events. Two. The yield of a growing season. Three. To gather.
Shepard. They know you. They wish you to understand. They are shepherds, too.

Firstly: I can't believe this was cut.  It's beautiful.

Secondly.  What's your interpretation of this?

Sounds like something a indoctrinated person would write about how Shepard should join the Reapers.

I can see why it was cut.

By the way. In before Ezekiel 25:17 quotes.

Sounds like it was a huge collector speech. Good that it was cut imho

It sounds good yet somewhat too vague at the same time. But as usual, link or it didn't happen.

I don't know, if Harbinger would have this as dialogue instead of just annoying me all the time with his trolling, it'd may have jumped quite a bit upwards for my liking,

At first i thought Rachni, then it became obvious it's either a indoctrinated victim or a collector...

Can husks speak?

It sort of makes me think about the derelict Reaper and the videos showing the Cerberus researchers being indoctrinated, the last one referring to the old god dreaming or something.

Maybe. Seems to be a bit above his level, though.

It's a little sad when indoctrinated people can form more appealing sentences than the Reapers themselves.

I think it's written from the perspective of one of the science team aboard the Derelict. It's describing the damage it suffered.

I think it's describing what it feels like once you've become part of a Reaper. I'm thinking that Imshai is not the name of the Reapers per se, but of the race that became that particular Reaper.

Report Summary
Barla Von, Citadel
I'm afraid we are unable to make any concrete assessment given the limited data at hand. It remains entirely possible that the justicar's ship made contact with Earth while looking for Prothean artifacts. Per your question, the storm that scattered the Spanish Armada was considered extremely powerful for that area, given our climate data, and could conceivably have been generated using fields from the Senshelis' drive core. It is clear that had the storm not scattered the Spanish Armada, the Spanish forces would have regrouped and likely seized power in England within two years.

It remains entirely possible that the justicar had some effect on Earth's political course, but unfortunately, I doubt we'll ever have proof.

What the actual what.

Like I've been saying, we should give serious consideration to joining with them.

You can still make it appear in-game via Epic Legion's save converter/edit site.

Good news is that if we lose, it'll happen anyway, so we don't need to do anything different.

Saphra, shut the f**k up, you're out of your element.

Did Shepard destroy the Reaper Base for great justice or hand it over to naz! scientists?
Justice!
Naz!s!
Was Shepard killed in the line of duty a second time in the same game?
Double Dead.
Just once, thanks.

Hell, even BioWare themselves see Cerberus as space naz!s.

I'm glad they dropped the conflict between Grunt and Mordin. Would've been so nagging at that point.

Should really make a poster that says: If you're salvaging alien bases, you're supporting the Naz!s.:P

Man I hate learning about cut content, it always makes me think of the game in terms of what could have been rather than what is

neat stuff regardless
