What is this? It's a crab.

What I was indirectly hinting at the effects, these warps are only in 3 other frames in that movie including one with Collectors, forgot which was the third :P

So what might this mean?

Idk, maybe that the Reapers tried to indoctrinate Javik and he doesn't realize it?


I find it incredibly intriguing that everyone could be intoctrinated. Trust no one!:bandit:

Why wouldn't everyone be indoctrinated? It could be fun! Posted Image Lots of indoctrination for everyone!

But seriously, if indoctrination in fact works by means of electromagnetic fields (and not only nanides :P) then the great number of Reapers makes the field very strong and long-range.

You should post it in some of the Pro-Ending threads (or did you actually do it?)
I'd be glad to read your theory about the Citadel but unfortunately the link you gave doesn't work...

What theory about the citadel? That it's actually a giant pine cone? 

Also, it's good to see you around here again!

Nah. He believes the same philosophy the Reapers do but is against them. When he talks with Shepard about Legion he states that there is no room in the Galaxy for both the perfection of Synthetics and the chaos of Organics. He's clearly for the chaos.

Unrelated, but someone told me, not sure how true it is, but it sounds funny. But supposedly When Casey Hudson walked into a coffee shop or something like that, somebody stood up and yelled "indoctrinated presence detected" and ran out...am I the only one who would have loved to see that?



Ok, THAT is absolutely golden!

Well, if the reapers attempted to indoctrinate Javik and failed, that would lend a lot of credibility to Javik's rather extreme opinions and viewpoints. I dont think thats the case, in fact, I propose the opposite.

Javik specifically states he had nothing to do with the Crucible whatsoever. Perhaps his distance from anything related to the Crucible kept him safe from the forces that were indoctrinating people.

He was a soldier and definately had contact with Reaper tech.

Right, but if our theory that the Crucible is a reaper trap is correct, then it stands to reason that anyone involved with it is more subject to indoctrination.

From what he stated to Shepard he was more than that. He was the Avatar of his cycle. All of his squad became indoctrinated and he isn't? Riiiiiight that sounds convincing.
More likely the Reapers played the long game, learning their tactics if new would arise, maybe a gentle nudge here and there to his orders without him noticing.
Remember Victory also called Javik "Commander" - he really is the embodiment of Shep in his cycle.

I suppose that's feasible, but if that's the case then why is Javik such an anti-synthetic extremist? I cant think of anything he did that would nudge Shepard any closer to fulfilling the Reaper's goals.

Maybe Shep will have to do the same as Javik and get in one of those so-far-unused cryo pods on the Normandy, and try to save the next cycle. Posted Image

Not the ending I'm hoping for, but I certainly think it's possible.

Javik killed his crewmates. BioWare wouldn't incorporate slaughtering the Normandy's crew in EC.
 
On the other hand, if Shepard is indoctrinated...

Man, if they did that they'd have an even bigger fan backlash they do now I bet. Chaos.

If Shep would do what Javik says he would end up with a pretty small army at the end. His imperialism is actually very well suited for the Reapers. Think of it, TIM and Saren both were strongly committed to their respective species and were transformed into quite useful tools.
And with the ability to read and convey thoughts through touch he is a perfect agent in this cycle.

Also he is that important that even the VI on Thessia knows of him... sounds like a prime target for indoctrination. Also just look at the flashbacks, he is standing right under a Reaper most of the time, intermittent by a squadmate flung around, Collectors, closeups of him looking distressed always followed by the Reaper.

Thanks. Good to see you too! I'm having fun (and some hard times) with the Memorial Wall ! I'm playing also Overlord and Arrival since they're important to understand the IT...

Edit: Also the Theory about people being "unnatural calm" in the Citadel. Sounds very interesting. The Citadel as indoc device seems very plausible...

Javik had only known war with the reapers, he was born into it, from his perspective killing the crew was the only option he could see, Shepard has twice had the chance to turn the indoctrinated, Saren and TIM, both sworn emenies, the crew are not sworn enemies, this may give Shepard the chance to turn them if the need arises.

Agree. It'd be gruesome. Anyway, this would definately fill the definition of "a memorable ending that everyone is talking about after the fact." Literally everyone.

TIM was never a sworn enemy.
Shep herself said lines like "You've forgotten everything you stood for! Cerberus was supposed to be humanity's sword, not a dagger in our back." and if you choose paragon replies in the end Shep really believes TIM is stronger and that he really could live. Just look at her expression when TIM shoots himself.
Shepard believes in the person and goals TIM had, but she also knows he has been misguided by the Reapers, but instead of declaring him an enemy she still tries to help him get back on his path.
