 Okay, how would this be to "expand" on the breath ending?

During Shepard's examination early in the game:

Chakwas:  Commander, you should know that Alliance scientists found something unusual in your cybernetics.  A final gift from Cerberus.

Shepard:  It can't be a killswitch or I wouldn't be walking around now

Chakwas:  Indeed not.  From what little they could tell, it is quite the opposite.  I "lliveswitch" if you will.  There appear to be nodules throughout your cybernetics, especially near the brain, heart, and other important organs and blood vessels.  They appear to be designed to break open should your life signs fail and release nanomachines into your body.

Shepard:  That's not very encouraging Doctor.  What are these machines supposed to do?

Chakwas:  The hypothosis is that they are supposed to perform emergency repairs on you.  Repair otherwise lethal damage.  Stabilize you, get you mobile again.  Then break down and be absorbed by your bloodstream.  A one-use, final line of defense to protect Cerberus' investment.  At least, that's what they believe.

Shepard:  So they don't know?

Chakwas:  No, they don't.  This is technology unlike anyhting we've seen before.  It was still being studied when the Reapers attacked.  And even if that's what they were designed to do, Cerberus' record with experimental technology is checkered at best

::awkward silence::

But I wouldn't worry, Commander.  I'm sure Cerberus wouldn't have put this system in you unless they were certain...

Shepard:  So these nanomachines might save my life and keep me on my feet in an emergency, if the Alliance is right about what they are, and Cerberus didn't cut too many corners.  Assuming all that, how will I know if they work?

Chakwas:  I'd say that if you find yourself taking a breath when by all rights you should be dead, they worked.

Get that MGS4 bullcrap outta here.

That or it was his final breath.

They would have been destroyed too then when I selected destroy, wouldn't they?

I'd rather they just have cut the breath scene out after picking destroy, because before EC, I had a small little sliver of hope that MAYBE Shepard survived.

After EC, that could have just been an air pocket escaping from Shepard's organs before he/she slumped over onto the ground a cold dead body.

As if I needed more salt/lemon-juice/mercury to a wound.

How do you think Husks are made?

With weird alien impaling devices.

nanomachines, Reapers release them to indoctrinate people too in addition to the signal.

Well that's overcomplicatingly dumb.

What is this Headcanon a lot of people talk about?
Is it some cheap way of Bioware saying "Hey, we're too lazy and greedy to provide the promised closure so... Use your head, imagine the story the way you want it to go on."?

Pretty much. Except some people choose to make their headcanon as fact, which creates some hilarious arguments.

Not really, it establishes an QEC signal with certain people like Grayson which allows the Reapers to assume direct control
But I won't argue since your sig is cute

It's like a drug that people take to try and get away from the reality that is the ungodly ****-tastic ending/destruction that is the Mass Effect franchise.

Well I wouldn't have a problem with it were it not for the huge metal components we can see on the exterior. It's just overkill. Why have the human part at all if you're going to replace 95% of what there is with metal and nanomachine bullcrap?

And I actually stole the signature from someone awesome.

I'm trying to establish the breath scene as a definitive "Shepard lives" moment rather than the ambiguous "maybe, maybe not" that is its current state.  I figure if there was forshadowing that SHepard had some kind of failsafe in his cybernetics that could revive him in a single, extreme moment, that breath could be the sign that it kicked in and saved him.

And while I have always suspected it, it was never outright stated that Cerberus used Reaper tech to revive Shepard, or that the Lazarus Project ever used it.  EDI, yes.  Shepard no.

[Jadebaby]

iakus, I like you and I like the idea.. But you're missing one vital piece of information...

Shepard already USED this system to keep them going.

When Shepard hits the Citadel. They are DEAD! That wierd noise when s/he wakes up, i believe, is some sort of internal defibrillator restarting Shepard's heart.

So if it's a "one time use" kind of thing. Then Shep already used it up

That's funny, Shepard living is pretty obvious. It's the surviving part that I thought had a lot of people wondering....

[The Spamming Troll]

i like it.

in a sense its like even smaller nanobots, that work sortof like white blood cells.

.......well ofcorse i like pretty much anything thats not the original so idk if thats so great for your idea, but i like it nontheless.

I'm operating on the assumption that Shepard "only" suffered a near-miss form Harbringer's attack.  I mean, that weapon can gut a cruiser, no Way SHep took a direct hit from that thing.  No amount of space magic can fix that.

SO while SHep is seriously injured, at that point SHepard wasn't fatally so.

Well, yeah, that's kinda what I meant 

I meant the breath to be a sign that Shepard's not bleeding out out in a pile of rubble, but has had th eworst of the damage repaired, has been stabilized, and can probably walk out on his/her own with a little effort.

Well here's my "ass pull".... the system may have been used already, but the nanites were not finished yet, they were still building up to the proper titre in Shepards system to complete the repairs when the explosion on the Citadel knocked Shepard down and the rubble fell on her and damaged some of the repairs they had already done.

However, (here's the ass pull) Cerberus did not use reaper tech when developing these nanites. Miranda Lawson had seen the reaper nanites and how they operated, but was repulsed by their crudeness and how they overwhelmed a body's natural system. She developed a different kind of nanite that simply repaired the damage and pulled together the torn sections and held them securely until they healed naturally.

And since they were not based on reaper tech, the wave did not destroy them. They simply replicated until there were sufficient numbers to complete the work needed.

She also installed a multiuse defibrillator to restart Shepard's heart if it were to ever stop.

I fully admit I'm pulling something out of somewhere. I'm no good at headcanon and I curse Bioware for forcing me to this point.
