 I was playing through the Stolen Memories pack the other day (as part of my tenth playthrough, but that's another story), and a little thing occured to me.

We never really did learn what was in Keiji Okuda's graybox. Everyone talks about how the secret is dangerous, and how the council would flip their alien lids if they found out, but we're never really told what was in it.

I suspect that it might be a plot point in Mass Effect 3, but it likely won't be that major, considering how not everyone has the DLC. 

So, this thread is just for spitballing ideas about what might have been in the graybox. They can be serious, such as something that would be really bad, or it could be something silly, such as something completely implausible.

Personally, I think it's one of two things:

1. It's results for secret tests where the Alliance did torture and research on every major council race, maybe specifically the turians. You know, find out the most effective way to kill them, or find out the secrets of their government via torture. This might have been done in case humanity ever found itself in a scenario where it would go to war against every council race. Which, given human nature, we probably would. 

The other one is far more sinister:

2. It's a complete collection of Justin Bieber songs.  The alliance would be implicated due to humanity's horrible taste in music.

So, what do you think was in the graybox?

Wow, sure glad this thread doesn't look familiar....
/Sarcasm.

That, and the fact is, we already know; its info on the reapers, and judging from the screens that Keiji-san himself shows Kasumi-chan in DLC itself, its about sovereign. Not a lot of mystery here, its plain as day if you actually look at what's on the screen.

Move along.

Sure, there's a Reaper image, but why would that endanger humanity?

My guess, it's data about TIM once again doing something assinine which could unite the galaxy against us. Probably by sabotaging the Sovereign recovery efforts so humanity could hog the tech, not that he'd actually share that data with anyone but Cerberus. ... Which would make TIM entirely responsible for the Councils attitude in ME 2.

I wonder if it might have anything to do with the Alliance possibly being aware of the Reaper's existence for a lot longer than anyone else. Given the events of the Evolution comics, and the fact Cerberus used to be a part of the Alliance, TIM could have shared this info back then. I doubt the Turians would be understanding of what transpired on Palaven with the Reaper artifact there. Something like that could cause a severe rift between humans and the other council members. (or other species, in general, if the original council wasn't saved.)

Just a thought, nothing more.

Spoilers for ME: Revelation:






99.9% likely it's Dr. Shu Qian finding Sovereign. A little Google search will come up with the answer pretty easily.  Bent Orgy is right, nothing to see here.

Are you kidding? It would prove to the galaxy that humanity had known about their existence all along, and what's more, had been running God knows what kind of tests on one. They'd see it as a threat, not to mention a betrayal. So yes, it could very easily endanger humanity.

As it should; play with fire, get burned.

It contained contingency planning and theoretical wargames for warfare scenarios against all three of the council races, including "preemptive" first-strike planning.

Pretty much every nation has a file like this with plans for just about every other nation. However if they ever got wikileaked it would be taken very offensively. In the context of ME alien races might see these "wild contingency" plans as actual proof of hostile intent. The Salarians might suggest first-striking the Alliance on this basis as per their doctrine.

But no matter. Its now contains slagged molycirc and nothing else

I love how you stated all that like it's fact, when all of it's conjecture. Especially considering Both I and Grey have already said what actually is in there.

Unless you're being sarcastic, in which case; more smileys.
