We see red everywhere, dead soldiers....or is it blood cells and aspects of Shepard's mind already destroyed?
We see keepers....or is it really the reaper influence rewiring his brain?
We see tubes, are are they blood vessels?
We see electric parts of the Shadow broker vessel.... or are we seeing neurons firing?
We are at the front where we meet TIM/ANDERSON..... or is this the Fruedian trio?
The prefrontal cortex, the part of the human brain that handle decision making is at the front of the brain, could that be where you meet TIM/Anderson?
The prefrontal cortex is part of the human limbic system, the part of the brain the Mass Effect codex specificially states that the reapers hijack.
It would make sense that an organic mind compared to the geth consensus
would not be as clean, would probably be a bit more chaotic and
blanketed in symbolism.... the citadel "in-between" scene is in Shepard's brain.
Symbolic representation, real world results.
That's very clever, thanks for that. I'll have to have another look when I play through (hope it won't be too long!) The scene does resemble a brain a lot, it's clear just from what you wrote. The only thing I'll say for now is that, you could see that as being because the beam actually leads into a chamber that is effectively the Citadel's 'brain'. Hmm that's also a good idea. Anyway thank you.
Now we get into some heavy meta mind blowing stuff.
When Shepard opens the citadel doors it is symbolic of Shepard opening his eyes (or his mind).
Remember Mass Effect 2 DLC Overlord where Shepard gets a reaper overlay of reality?
When Shepard shoots the geth with the reaper overlay they break up into pieces, it's all very neat and clean, that doesn't happen in real life but it does in Shepard's geth overlay. Geth overlay of reality or synthetic overlay....everything appeared digitalized. Clean.
Credit to Magumiusa....I think that is the right u/n
Since the reapers are synthetic-organic hybrids it makes sense that a reaper overlay would have elements of both being very clean (like the geth overlay) and also symbolic (organic).
That is why control looks like you are walking into a giant hand
Seriously am I the only one who sees a hand? You can even see the thumb above the green line.
Also same reason why destroy is shooting at a glass tube. Same tube you shoot at when fighting the human reaper. Reaper tube has wires and tubes running around it, tubes= reaper tech.
This is all old stuff to some of you, but you might make sense of it.
Because there are elements of the conduit run, instead of being something completely foreign like the citadel/Tim/Anderson leads me to logically conclude that the decision chamber is in fact a reaper induced overlay of reality.
edit: Also because of Shepard's precarious position having had most of his team wiped out by Harbinger, Harbinger still probably standing, and Shepard having been blasted, this is all a test of Shepard...........by the reapers! (dramatic music)
The reapers are testing to see how open Shepard's mind is to indoctrination. If Shepard chooses control he/she is still hostile to the reapers, but open to the futile idea of controlling them. She/he can still be used, but cannot be trusted into the citadel. The beam stays the same and stays on. They don't have direct control over Shepard, Shepard is indoctrinated.
If he chooses synthesis Shepard shows he/she has embraced reaper ideology, she/he is approved to board the citadel. Notice the citadel beam grows wider when you choose synthesis. The beam represents reaper connection with Shepard, it grows stronger, they have direct control over him.
If Shepard continues to resist and picks destroy....simple Shepard is destroyed "Shepard, you could have been useful" The beam dies.
Refuse is very interesting. Shepard sees through the overlay illusion, says I'm not playing I know you are influencing me. Shepard refuses to let himself be controlled by the reapers, he won't admit the reaper ideology is correct in order to gain entrance to the citadel. The beam dries up. The reapers win.
