Does someone here have a link to Salient Archer's essay about how Shepard couldn't survive the citadel explosion? I'm arguing with someone who thinks that Shepard could easily have survived the explosion because of his/her synthetic parts.

I didn't know he wrote an essay about that, would like a link though.
Did you remind him the Crucible and Citadel are HUGE and the explosions are equally HUGE and capable of megaton levels of destruction? Or you could use the "Shepard does not have shield strength equal to a Mass Relay" arguement that's a safe bet.

EDIT: Not to mention the Red wave of Synthetic Death that would deactivate Shepard's synthetics (supposedly).

Yup. I mentioned it, and he didn't seem to care.

I believe no essay should be necessary to illustrate how unlikely it is for Shepard to survive with no shields and just some synthetic parts. *_*

No matter how long or well through thought his essay is. Nobody survives that.

You just burn down to nothing when you enter the atmosphere. He has no armor, nor shields.
Little asteroids, which are solid rock, or metal, don't make it to the ground.

In ME2, OK, he had armor + shields. And it was stated that one wasn't able to recognize him.

But in the end, with no/partly armor and no shields + big ass explosion of the Citadel + descent to earth and not burning down to ashes?

I say: not possible.

Edit: Don't forget the vacuum he was exposed to while the descent to Earth.

HUMAN. YOU HAVE THE ATTENTION OF THOSE INFINITELY YOUR GREATER.

What are you taliking about? Attention of whoadnskl;nbjkdlsnjknsjknjkaklnvjcka ASSUMING CONTROL OF THIS FORM.

RELEASING CONTROL. Translation going to bed now. Goodnight everyone.

This whole convo reminds me of how I had my old laptop set up to use Harbinger lines instead of the regular windows noises.

Turning it on made it say "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL," turning it made it say "RELEASING CONTROL," plugging in a USB device made it say "I KNOW YOU FEEL THIS," errors made it say "THIS HURTS YOU."

It was the best laptop ever.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's awesome!

I did that with Command and Conquer stuff, I know the feeling :3

I thought Salient argued against survival in his essay?

He did, which is why I want to use it.

Go to the jiggly quarian bumbums thread. You'll find what you need there.

 All right, if you really need it, here you go.

Guess I could repost this from a month ago, a "Survive List" for Shepard:

When viewing the following keep in mind several things:
The Citadel is massive. Shepard is at the base of the ring, essentially
under the Presidium Tower in the center of the Citadel where the
Crucible is docked. Shepard has hardly any armor and no kinetic barriers
as proven by the blood spatter from Marauder Shields attack.



This
explosion more than envelops the area where Shepard was in the decision
chamber, the sheer size of this explosion should let us assume that it
is LARGE and FATAL to anything near it.

A list of things Shepard would need to survive in the Destroy ending in order to take the famous breath:

1. Potentially fatal injuries already sustained.
2.
The initial explosion of the Destroy tube (the strength of this
explosion alone could outright kill Shepard at point blank range).
3.
Being ground zero when the Red Wave is sent out (it's enough force to
move space debris and Reapers, it would most definitley hurt Shepard
being that close).
4. The Red Wave itself. "You can wipe out all
Synthetic life if you want --- Even YOU are partly Synthetic," it's
entirely possible ALL of Shepard's implants would be deactivated on
contact with the Red energy.
5. The Citadel ring explosion, image above.
6. The vastness of space without a helmet. Or air for that matter.
7.
Re-entry into Earths atmosphere without kinetic barriers or whole armor
or a helmet (the sheer heat of freefall would vaporize Shepard if other
things hadn't already.)
8. Impact with the ground, assuming anything is left of Shepard it would have to be scooped up with a shovel and bucket.

The
infamous "Shepard Breath" scene 99% positive it takes place on Earth,
see my sig for London Rubble/Breath scene Rubble comparison. Shepard is
in one piece, bloodied and battered, and takes a breath on Earth after
the list above, the only logical explanation is that Shepard never left
Earth. Whether or not things occured in your head or in real life while
you were unconcsious is up in the air at this point.

To add something, whether or not the Breath scene takes place on Earth doesn't negate 5 of those things listed that would/could still kill Shepard.

Indeed. I've got my monocle, top hat and walking cane ready. 

Now pour me a glass of wine, would you, dear?

I was already crawling through that awesome thread. *.* But yay, thanks! Gonna be distracted, so I guess I have to crawl through another 10 pages of this thread here.

Also, could you please make a pic like that with a male instead for me, Lex0r? Pretty please?
