Look at the docking tip (up it to 720p and full screen it)

Notice that the Crucible tip is above you.

The Presidium is around you.
The Crucible docking clamps are claimped to the Presidium. Check out the flycam.

Thank you for posting this. I can clearly see where the connection between the Crucible and the Citadel occurs, whereas it had been unclear to me before. Clarifies a lot seeing how the Citadel had this structure with the Control/Synthesis/Destroy panels already pre-constructed!

Seems like the Reapers made certain they were prepared in case the Crucible was ever completed and docked to the Citadel in any cycle. So it seems your theory of a "CSD" is very likely correct. Now I'm thinking the Catalyst really is Shepard... the docking of the Crucible onto the Citadel required someone to destroy the Reaper constructed "CSD" before it would be able to fire as originally constructed (so shooting the device to destroy the CSD makes sense since the device is preventing activation of the Crucible). It seems likely that previous cycles knew about this "CSD" as you called it since a "Catalyst" was mentioned in the Crucible's plans. Very interesting!

I added it to my thread now that I see people weren't noticing this.

He also tells you countless cycles have tried the same, but they failed. TIM tried it and failed.

Irrelevant. None of them had the Crucible or got as far as Shepard did.

Either way, the endgame message tells us we ended the Reaper threat. It's canon.

i Trust the Catalyst for one simple reason, if he cared about the outcome he would of left me to bleed out.

It isn't irrelevent. TIMS attempts at control have nothing do do with the Crucible. It was a completely different science and resulted in his ability to control ONLY the husks and "grayson soldiers" that he specially made. He could not control reaper controlled forces.

The entire ending is from the perspective of a reaper deluded AI (control) or an indoctrinated EDI (sysnthesis). Te entire point is to mainatain your indoctrination. Otherwise, nobody would ever pick those endings if they said, "Hey, you failed to stop them!!! Reapers still in control". Control and Synthesis are presented as sunshine and butterflies endings to "indoctrinate" the player into picking them. There is a reason only Destroy requires any real sacrifice.
