Hey group, I got a few quick observations/questions that I havent found anyone else talk about and I want to bounce ideas around here.
The first being that the magical planet the Normandy "crashes" on in the ending sequence heavily reminds me of two planets Shepard has already visited. On both Zaeed and Jacob's loyalty missions the planets (Zorya and 2175 Aeia) have similarities to the Dream Planet. Both planets have two moons, both are garden worlds with very similar plant life, both have similar and formations, both places Shepard has been. I would think that given the assumption that IT bases everything at the end being pieced from Shep's memory that these two are possible examples. Jacob's in particular because that mission involved a stranded group of survivors. Hmm... sound familiar?
Next is that Shepard encountered the idea of synthesis not just from Saren but from Project Overlord. The green coloration was the first being give away to me but also clearly the presence of Human and VI hybrid. Shepard is "hacked" into a virtual reality and having visions at the end of the mission seeing and hearing video logs while fighting. While the process of this idea of synthesis is very different than the one presented in the EC, some of what Gavin Archer says and what the Starchild says are alike. Archer uses the phrase “man's reach exceeding his grasp” meaning experimenting with something beyond our understanding. Starchild says of synthesis that “know that we know it is possible, it is inevitable”. How does Starchild know its possible? From the experimentation in Project Overlord that Shepard has full knowledge of. Also this points that synthesis was something “exceeding his grasp” so to speak.
So not only is Shepard susceptible to indoctrination (according to IT) via organic means but also hacking via a virus through synthetic means which we already know is possible from this mission. The Reapers have both of those tools at their disposal giving Shepard a more likely chance of being influenced and turned to their will. Is this worth looking into as more evidence in IT?
Also sorta quickly.. it seems at times that the Reapers are afraid of synthetics more than organics if that makes sense. synthetic life being the bigger threat to their existence because Reapers are dependent on organics, a very twisted form of a symbiotic relationship. Organic life being allowed to exist but at a price. Other synthetic life threatens the Reapers food source and that being the real evil of it all. Its about organics being protected as livestock or crops with organic life being “ripe or freshest” at a certain level of intelligence.
Reapers go after the DNA/Genetic material of advanced civilizations to build more Reapers and to do so they must require a certain kind of genetic material. (don't really know what I'm talking about regarding the science of it all but stay with me) I'm guessing that part of the need for this genetic material is in the capabilities of that species biotic abilities meaning dark energy or element zero is the key to all of this. Reapers don't seem
to need these civilizations technology but they do go after the organic beings but why? What is so different from a non-space faring race to a space faring one? The Citadel and Mass Relays are the best tools for advancing dark energy technology in advanced life as they are readily available and purposely planted to steer technology in a
particular way. This increases the likelihood of those species exposure and usage of Eezo which I would relate to the idea of gardening and or farming as a means to ensure good healthy crops.
The use of the words Harvest, Reaper, and of course Biotic (meaning life) is where this idea comes from. Also not trusting a damn thing the Starchild says.
last question... are the Reapers undead?
p.s. Been a long time fan of this thread just never had a lot to add that hasn't been said in thousands of pages already.
