If we're to accept the idea of any contraption being able to subvert the atoms of our DNA, its a no brainer to expect it to be able to transmutate matter,especially considering that we are just matter in space. Also, a black hole is a device, it has no problem ruining the laws of physics..as we know them. No magic wand there either, just a bunch of random atoms making fun of sentient lifeforms..lol

Please elaborate on the bolded parts?

Transumating matter is one thing. Breaking Chemistry is another.The planets we see don't appear to have any more "synthetic" in composition. Nothing prevents the elements required for Organic life coming together under the right conditions and forming Organic life.

What? A black hole is most certainly not a device. Nobody made a black hole. And you are still taking the word of an inept AI, which I wouldn't trust to make a cup of tea.

Outside variables? These other galaxies exist in our universe, not alternate realities, the fact the Starbrat completely ignored them for its "solution" only proves how stupid it is.

I think it is clear from the animations and images in the epilogue that the glowing green eyes and patterns are seen on reapers, husks, synthetics and organics. There is no indication that there are exceptions. And we know that the essence of who Shepard is and what Shepard is has been added to the mix. That has implications for free will.

That brings us back on topic. If it exists then so will the reapers' purpose and aggression exist. And because of that, the inevitable synthetics threat will force the reapers to search for other galaxies in which they can violate the right of self-determination once more. If that threat is inevitable then this will be true in other galaxies as well. There is no reason to assume the threat is a local problem. And thus it will not take long before synthetics from other galaxies arrive here to attack us! So the reapers must strike first to once more save us all by performing their legendary genocides and other atrocities in the rest of the universe. After all, it is inevitable!

That inevitability has led the synthesis fans to their choice. And they think it was right. So according to them the above scenario must be true. If synthesis somehow prevents this then 1) the threat was never inevitable or 2) mind control does exist.

The citidel and catalyst are from our galaxy so that why the decisions in our applied to ours and why they only talk bout ours. And aren't yhe reapers already synthetics?

Short sighted, there is nothing to stop Synthetics, who according to Staridiot, hate everything which isn't them, from entering the Milkyway from another Galaxy and running amuck. Its so called solution was unworkable from the start, and any logical being would have abandoned it, but not Staridiot.

But if the threat is real then the threat is out there in the universe somewhere. The reapers have to strike first. It is inevitable ;) And yes, they are. Or to be more exact hybrids controlled by AIs.

That logic is made almost entirely out of ass-pulls; what exactly are the implications for free-will and where do you get the impression the Reapers will create a new cycle to replace the old one? Why would they even want to? The very idea of Synthesis is to allow synthetics to fully appreciate the value of organic life, so no cycle is necessary.

You didn't even read the post before going on the attack. The anwser to your (agressive) question is right there; Synthetics from other galaxies who don't answer to Starbrat, and according to its "logic," hate everything which isn't them.

One plus three does not equal two. Sometimes glowing green eyes just means their eyes changed. Image IPB

There is nothing inevitable about the scenario you provide because it relies upon too many assumptions. The most obvious one being that life in other galaxies exists and will take the same path as life in this one. Secondly that the Reapers are following the same programming. Which, following Synthesis, they are not.

What they get from synthesis is essentially a 'soul.' And that gives them an appreciation and respect for organic life they did not previously have. Is that mind control, or simply an expanded perspective that they did not have before? Either way its nothing is 'inevitable' because entirely new data has been added to the equation.

It was a frequent theme in talks with Legion that changes in available information leads to a different consensus. Which brings me back to the question I posed on the previous page. Upgrading the Geth brought them closer to having free will, not taking it away from them. By all evidence it did the exact opposite of what you assume Synthesis will do, even though by all dialogue given, Synthesis is the next step down that same road.

I did, twice. The idea that Synthesis = mind control has no relation to what we're told in the game. The idea that post-Synthesis Reapers will still follow the Catalyst's programming has no basis in the game. Going beyond that, the idea that they will broaden the scope of the programming they shouldn't be following any more to include other galaxies has no basis on the thing that isn't based on the game anyway.

No you didn't read it. The Reapers "solution" only affects the Milkyway, nowhere else. By not taking other Galaxies into account, Starbrat has shown it's an idiot, whos judgement is highly questionable. Synthetics can rise up anywhere in the universe and come here later, to "prevent" that from happening, the Reapers would have to start a new cycle elsewhere. It would be never ending given the size of the universe.

Nah, see, that's only if the Reapers are still controlled by the Catalyst's programming rather than given free will through Synthesis.

As for whether the Catalyst was even right in its thinking, I'm going with no. There are many paths to technological advancement. The Catalyst screwed the galaxy over by seeding the entire place with mass relay technology to ensure they all followed the same path, and then chopping off their head each time they reached a certain point. The rest of the universe has the advantage of not dealing with the Catalyst, and thus other civilizations could have reached technological singularity from means that the Catalyst couldn't possibly predict because that's the entire point of technological singularity.

If it happened once, it can happen again and elsewhere. Starbrat simply didn't take into account all the variables, but then again, we know its logic is flawed.

Apparently the creators of the Catalyst weren't interested in other galaxies, so his programming is only regarding organics in ours. I don't see why breaking the Reapers away from the cycle would make them want to go forth and destroy other galaxies, and I can't see any reason to think that. Extra-galactic invaders are something the galaxy as a whole should be considering but I don't think they'll adopt the "kill everyone, everywhere" approach.

You can deny mind control as part of synthesis, but it is in the game.

Child: Add your energy to the Crucible's. The chain reaction will combine all synthetic and organic live into a new framework. A new... DNA.

Shepard: Explain how my energy can be added to the Crucible.

Child: Your organic energy, the essence of who you are and what you are, will be broken down and then dispersed.

That last sentence is important. Shepard is chosen not because he or she looks good, but because the "essence of who [he/she] is and what [he/she] is" is important to be added to the stream. That means it has to have something to do with mind control, otherwise James Vega can be chosen for his fitness or Tali for her hips.

Also, AIs simply learn. So Infected Harby can learn to. That's how AIs change their programming. Besides Harby is now even upgraded. Who knows what he can do more?
