just read again... nice thing to get the day started (it's 5:40am here atm)... ^^

Once again you deliver a thought provoking topic, JShepppp. This post reminds me of the "I hate Liara" posts because they forget no matter how poorly you treat her, she's the only reason Shep's alive. Well, one of the only reasons. How to rephrase this? If she wasn't there, Shep would be a Reaper husk. There.

Thanks. I actually didn't realize that - you're right, she saved Shep from the Collectors and had the role to become the Shadow Broker, both pivotal things (i.e. otherwise the Broker would probably be a third faction of sorts), and this might have given her the plotshield she has.

Just reread this. Still think it's funny and that an animated cartoon of it should be made.

Something about ME characters running around wearing nothing but protective carrots makes me laugh.

It also occurred to me that the Quarians are more rampantly stupid than even the Reapers. Without having to recount the events of the Morning War, there's yet another reason: The Geth's Dyson Sphere analogue.

Basically, the Quarians only had to wait a little longer for the Geth to COMPLETELY VACATE RANNOCH. Legion tells Shepard about the Dyson Sphere analogue on board the Normandy, the same ship Tali is on. Tali comes to regard Legion very highly, since we learn that they sent some IMs after the suicide mission. In all the time between them, Tali never ONCE asked what the Geth's had planned for the future, and that Legion NEVER brought up the subject of the giant space computer?

On the other hand, I don't know the exact time frame the space computer was being built on. A few years? A few hundred?

Just my thoughts.

Thanks! As for making a cartoon - I don't have the skills at all, but if someone on these forums wants to do it and has the time, that would be interesting.

True. The only downside I can see is that if the Quarians wanted to kill the Geth rather than retake their homeworld it'd be difficult if the Geth continued to self-evolve and create their Dyson sphere. But we are shown that they really just want their homeworld back and nothing else, so if they had waited - or just even TALKED to the Geth - things might've been different. They were portrayed as dismayingly idiotic.

I wonder what would happen if Tali were to go back and tell the Admiralty about the Dyson analogue? Would she just be making a target of it?

On a related note, is debris we find upon entering the Tikkun system the remains of the Geth's giant space pentium?

I don't think they built the sphere yet, but I think as long as the Geth left Rannoch the Quarians wouldn't care. Nobody really seems to explicitly care about synthetics becoming too powerful in ME, which might be why the Catalyst (who does care) seems very out of place.

I don't know what you mean by pentium (sorry) but if you mean the Dyson sphere, I personally don't think they started building it. Though I could be wrong, of course.

 Great read!  I really enjoyed the humor.  There were a few typos such as "power to hold tens of thousands of Rapers under its thumb".  

On second thought, don't fix that.

Shepard and everyone else in the game completely forgot about the Conduit on Ilos when they were trying to get to the Citadel. That probably would have been a better plan then "fight through the entire Reaper ground army and hope that the gigantic beam will teleport you to the Citadel", but I'm no millitary strategist.

Totally unbelievable catch.  I never thought of that.   Why haven’t we seen this mentioned everywhere?

Yeah, it's glossed over a lot. A small mention somewhere that the Reapers destroyed it (Codex, random convo, etc.) would go a long way to resolving that plot hole.
