bump
No need to bump in this thread son, it moves fast enough on its own.
Anywho, wall of text time.
Got another letter here... from a Nezrathul.

In a discussion with some friends we came up with some interesting theories about Shepard's squadmates. When I tried to check if you guys already talked about it in the super thread, it was already locked 
We asked ourselves, what if the 2 squadmates you bring with you when assaulting the beam are knocked out just like Shepard and have to go through the same or a similar experience.
Will they wake up indoctrinated? Which squaddie is less likely to succumb to it, which one might end up as a reaper doomsday device etc.
Maybe you already talked about this in depth, but we found the idea intriguing. Did this ever come up? Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

I found something pretty interesting about the carnifex, but I'm not sure if it really helps in any way.
As we know, the carnifex appears in ME3 when something bad is about to happen, for example wehn you shoot Mordin, or when you kill Wrex. Hell, even Ashley/Kaidan wield a carnifex when you meet them on the citadel!
So anyway, here's what I found: Carnifex is actually a latin word.
And guess what that word means?
It means "Executioner."
So my thoughts are, that the Carnifex only appears in those places where someone is "executed!"
Maybe that's why the predator and carnifex are loaded in the "destroy" ending! Because you "Execute" the reapers, while still holding on to your own goal!
I like this a lot, and I think you're a sharp cookie for piecing that together, but that's asking a leap of interpretive faith in BioWare's even minor intentions that I'm not sure I could take.
I just had latin today, and I just happened to see the word in my dictionary.
The first thing I thought when I saw that was, "HOLY.COW." (well, actually there were a few more swear words involved, but you get the general idea!)
I still think that it's pretty interesting...
Quid quid latine dictum sit. Altum videtur.

All I know for sure is your carnifex changes to a predator for a second once u choose destroy
yes but I don't see why that is important
Considering you see it MORPH into a predator from a Carnifex makes it more significant.
Also, far more interesting is the fact that throughout the entire ending sequence, rather than the usual Carnifex reload, a motion cocking back the rack on top of the gun, you instead have a different reload, similar to pushing a fresh magazine into the gun. What other gun has this animation? The Predator.

As has been said several times.
There is difference in surviving small mostly light ground or air wielded explosive weaponry and indirect reaper beam attacks (we neevr see Harbinger actually hitting Shepard unlike his point precision beams on everything else)...
...as opposed to a several kilometer wide fireball with a strength in megaton class (and considering that the Citadel is made from quantum shielded material, probably quite far up the megaton scale) of which Shepard is at or near ground zero.
To put that into perspective the Hiroshima bomb completely annihilated anything within roughly 400 meters, there was nothing living there and it was only 15 Kilotons in power. On the megaton scale we are talking about the complete vaporization of any life in massive radius and Shepard is near ground zero. The heat alone (which no amount of rubble would protect him from) would turn him into ash.
You're beeing too generous.
This is an explosion that would make the Tsar Bomba, the largest nueclear bomb ever detonated, look like a firecracker in comparison. Let that sink in for a moment.
Shepard wouldn't even be ash, he would literally be vaporized, the elements in his body would be reduced to hydrogen gas.

So why wouldn't the Catalyst override the keepers control and activate the signal itself? Or indoctrinate someone to do it for him?
Because the Guardian is a big fat liar and happens to be Harbinger?
