The Crucible is destroyed in the explosion? I need to check this. Cause if that happens, yeah. No way Shepard could survive that.

not destroyed, or, not blown apart like pre EC. It is still subject to multiple explosions, including the central area where shepard is thought to be.

Strictly speaking since the EC changed the fact that the Citadel doesn't compeltely blow itself apart, Shepard being on the Citadel isn't impossible. Still highly unlikely, since the breath scene contains rubble that looks exactly like Earth rubble, with elements that resemble beam structure and an alliance vehicle. It's still impossible for Shepard to have been on the Citadel to activate the Crucible and then show up on Earth to wake up.

The EC just expanded on the Citadel not being blown up totally, but it could already be seen in the original endings. Just the "hinges" and the "ring" were damaged, but most of the "arms" were not, except for a few explosions here and there.

Shepard could have been "ejected" towards the arms by the 1st growing sphere of red "space magic", since it can be seen it the cutscene that it "pushes" material outwards, in space around the Citadel. If one looks closely, there are visibles "chunks" of material (ship debris?) been "pushed" by the red energy sphere, but there does not seem to be "heat" related to that. If Shepard has been "pushed" then he might as well be far enough from the 2nd explosion to not suffer too much from it. He could also have been shielded by debris "pushed" along with him, like pieces of the red tube's structure, that would have landed close to him, as shown in the breath scene.

Except calculate the speed Shepard would be traveling at. How fast they'd impact something.

Yes, chunky salsa.

Yeah, well that's good enough for me.

He was resurrected in ME2, that's enough to make a lot "possible". I'm not saying he's in top shape either.

F=ma (Dead Shepard = ma)

Also, Shepard's suit is no longer sealed and has no power. Survival... *Sniff*... Problematic.

The debris accelerated by the red sphere are not even going at the speed the sphere is expanding, so it's possible Shepard is subjected to the same effect.

I would be very angry if we got a "cop out" response stating that Shepard activated the Crucible WITH HIS MIND and then woke up in the aftermath.

Starbrat twinkles when it says "If you do not use the Crucible..." It's weak, I know. Probably a coincidence or just an animation quirk of the camera pan.

Yea thats a bit of a red herring though, because we come to find out shepard was clinically dead after that, and it took 2 years and almost all of cerberus to bring him back

There's precedent for it though. The geth concensus had Shepard performing symbolic action in the dreamworld that affected things in meatspace. Also, if the reapers are having a two-way connection with Shepard, then it's possible to send destructive feedback to whatever's on the other end, as was done by killing Sarenbot.

Oh there is plenty of more compelling evidence than just the timeframe, but alas, I should go. See you all later. Posted Image

Breath scene is has to be on earth. No Concret any where on the citadel, and Shepard can die since Shepard has no helmet to protect his/her brain. Which was the only think that could declare Shepard dead if the Brain was not intact.

but if the theory is true, the crucible still hasnt made contact with the citadel

You mean where he pulses right before he goes off screen because the camera zoomed into Shepard? I would not jump to any conclusions about this. It would make more sense in this context if he twinkled/faded/pulsed after Shepard said "I don't believe you."

Not necessarily the crucible, but desctructive feedback to Harbinger/the reapers.

But I just could not imagine the indoctrination attempt backfiring on the reapers so badly that they are completely annihilated. The most I could see happening is a break in the indoctrination's hold.

I was more rreferring to setting off the crucible with his mind. but I absolutely agree with this, could very well be why we see starbinger disapear immediately when detroy is picked, whereas he lingers in control.

Or has it? Hacket got a report that someone made it to the beam. But he couldn't confirm for sure that Shepard was on the Citadel. That's just an assumption. So when Shepard reaches the beam, Hacket sends in the Crucible.

Something interesting to take note: the beam structure looks more like the prothean beacons than a mass relay. Thin, tall obelisk, beam of light into the sky... Also why would a reaper relay send people to the control panel of the Citadel, hrm? Why were people coming back from it, indoctrinated?* I'm pretty sure the beam structure is an indoctrination beacon, not a ground-to-station relay.

*I may be remembering this wrong. I'm pretty sure it's mentioned that some people do come back from the ebam but I'm not 100% sure on it.
