This to be read with a sense of humour? Bioware needs to include heroic Maurauder Shield's statue in expansion dlc!

[dorktainian]

I sense you are strong in the Farce........ 

[Abreu Road]

I actually liked your theory.

I believe Bioware will retcon to something like that on Extended Cut.

I did notice the slightly odd arrangement of colours. . . which is why the first time I heard about Indoc Theory, I thought it was intentional---since red is always associated with renegade and blue with paragon, it would be like the hue selection tricking you in-game---since I wouldn't consider following the Illusive Man's example and suddenly become dictator of the Reapers a paragon action.

Then I considered Bioware very sly for sneaking that in, and then I got angry because it means they expected me to pay for the real ending in DLC down the road. . . but that was only about a week or two after the game came out

Other than that, I'm not quite sure what to make of it.

It all makes sense now. Because EARTH IS MARS! We got its moon!

Exactly. Jessica accidentally let slip something she shouldn't have (twice!), and then tried to backpedal from it by going completely vague.

Thanks for the picture of Halong Bay, at least.

Mars was mostly destroyed, and with the gravitational well gone, its moon Deimos was hurtled along toward Earth. It ultimately became stuck in Earth's gravity well, becoming Earth's second moon

Nice try OP, but Deimos has a mean radius of about 6km and is essentially a captured asteroid. There's no way it would be able to show as a disc of the size it appears in the end scene of ME3.

It very close.

No.

[MikeC99]

Finally! Someone who gets it!!! Please please finish the story!! No wait - can we do Chinese whispers for this? Come on - THAT would be awesome!!

Sincerely - that was fun. We need more fun.

"..." "Yes, I know."

cheers

Again "lots of speculation" is just asking for trouble when closing out a trilogy.

For something that small, it would have to be within the atmospheric envelope of Earth to show that large. Also, it's not actually a spheroid, so it wouldn't show as a disc, anyhow.

Now, if you'd picked a moon from another planet, one of the gas giant satellites, perhaps, I'd be willing to consider that that.

Of course, as we all know, though, can accomplish anything.

No, it's the small one (but closer), and the gigantic draw of dark energy via gravity did the rest.

Now, if you'd picked a moon from another planet, one of the gas giant satellites, perhaps, I'd be willing to consider that that.

But, I admit, it is possible that my theory is incorrect on that point; it just fits in the solar configuration at that time. It can't be any of Neptune's moons, Uranus is probably too far… so Saturn and Jupiter are possibilities, and of those, Jupiter would be the more logical one but I'm not sure whether the cycle fits.

If we assume that the smaller moon is actually Luna, then the newer is roughly the same size or somewhat larger, given proximity. Of Jupiter's moons, Io, Europa and Ganymede would fit the bill, but Io looks different. Ganymede is a good candidate at about 5000 km diameter. However, that would throw my timeline off by a few hours, BUT…

…That actually makes sense because it's either early evening or morning in Vietnam in the end shot; it could be that it's actually 12 hours later than I thought it might be.

So, I accept that the moon could also be Ganymede (or Europa, but the physics are a little trickier). Thanks for the thoughtful reply, you clearly get it. I've edited to reflect that Ganymede also fits the physics, and could be a more viable and appealing prospect.

Thank you, you're too kind (although slightly incorrect)! I've got extra internets now, is there a charity for this? -.-

I read the title in Grunt's voice

[TheCrakFox]

At first I was entertained, but then I realised it makes no less sense than the actual ending, so then I got sad.

Is there a bats**t insanity stage of Mass Effect 3 ending grief, by the way?

The second moon is Ganymede. It was pushed there by the relay shockwave.

I wrote some more serious ideas about the Clarification, using some of the ideas I presented here.

This thread's a bit funnier, though.

Bump, because it's that time of the month. The time where Jupiter is aligned, that is.

Today's been kinda bleak, let's add some hum…Serious Analysis.

[Reptilian Rob]

So basically the Starchild is the Collector General in super uber hivemind form?

Oh god, this keeps getting more and more confusing.

I appreciate your analysis and think it's got some interesting concepts. I have to say, given the information (vague as it has been thus far), I respectfully disagree with most of your conclusions, although you made a strong attempt to answer so much of the confusion and, at first glace, conflicting images we were shown at the ending. At this point I can't and won't say with any certainty that any possibility is ruled out at this point, so who knows. It was a good read, thanks.
