Got a few questions on the keepers. Read thru the forums an wiki and have not seen them asnwered. Also I have only played the 3 games ,no DLC, have not read the books or comics either. So I apoligize if these questions have been aswered elswhere.
What we know.
Reapers finish their harvesting or destroying and return to dark space.
Young or new species, races start to advance.
One eventually finds the relays and citadel.
Discover keepers
Keepers help new species settle in.
Keepers will " suicide " if scanned or captured
How long did the Asari study the keepers and citadel before just giving up and enacting law not to bother Keepers? Salarians came next. Do you think an inquisitive and inteligent race like the salarians would just accept " keepers run citadel, you dont need to know, leave keepers alone"? Could you imagine Mordin not wanting to study it?
What if new species does not want to depend on keepers though? In the real world, humans would not. Not understanding how or why something that you use works is a military weakness. Flaw that enemy can use against you.(which happens in game!!) Use the keepers until you researched and studied the relays and citadel enough till you understand the technology . Surely after thousands and thousands of cycles one race could understand the tech. Already discovered faster than light travel before finding relays so any race that discovers citadel is fairly advanced Or is that what reapers wait for? When a species gets close to understanding how citadel and or relays work, keepers send signal and cycle starts again.
Where do keepers get the resources to fix and repair citadel? Where does their food come from? Steal from races that are on citadel? Some un-mentioned contract with citadel species to supply it? Stockpile of materials? What happens in between cycles, if no new race has found the citadel? Go dormant or continue to do maintainance?
What happens to all buildings and infrastructure from the last cycle? Destroyed, left alone or maintained? How do keepers know what species will find citadel next. How do they prepare? What will new species look like, 2 legs or 4? Oxygen breathing, methane? High or low gravity worlds? ( luckily every major race hunanoid! Yea right!!)
Are there no cameras on the citadel? You cant watch keepers, where they go what they do? You could discover the secrets of the citadel by just planting a small camera on one or two. We have almost invisible cameras now, what about in 200 yrs. Surely keepers dont melt if you touch one to attach camera? Besides the camera , no one has tried to physically watch and follow a keeper?
What happens if there is war between a race that controls citadel and others that want to? What if all keepers killed in the war, either by the attacking force or by citadel force that knows its losing and kills them out of spite?. Will citadel tumble out of orbit? Close arms and remain inactive untill enough keepers are bred/ grown? If so where do get resources to grow that many back (like above)?
Too many questions to not be explained. Especially when you have so many other codex entries.
Keeper questions?
