My personal fan idea, always was, that the Reapers are not only harvesting one single galaxy.
It takes 50000 years to harvest the amount of x galaxies and each galaxy they visit, got its citadel and mass relays. The Citadels are used as super Mass Relays as we all know, BUT between the galaxies, or at least two of them.
Now lets say its the year 2700. Our galaxy has recovered and its kind of peace and harmony.
Synthetic ending: Nature always beats technology. The DNA change and kybernetics start to disapear, the people try to find a solution, bad emotions have their comeback, but a few still got these super upgrades and are unbelievable intelligent and powerful, same has the synthetics.
Control ending: After the galaxy recovered, the people are still filled with hate and they distrust the Reapers and Shepard. To avoid another war, Shepard and his Reaper army retreat to outer space and if the galaxy will need him again, he will come back maybe.
Red ending: Imagine any sort of advantage, that Shepard as a survivor may give u. Maybe you will be able to play as a descendant of Shepard, depending on LI, or his Asari daughter herself.
A possible story could be:
The Reapers were supposed to harvest/"safe" the galaxy andromeda about 200 years ago. As we know about each 50000 years synthetics may become a great danger. That could have happened, to Andromeda. They lost the control quarian style.
When the catalyst died, the Citadel of Andromeda suddenly lost its firewalls and barriers. The primary cultures of Andromeda, were able to enter and understand parts of the Reaper technologie of the Citadel and the Mass Relays, their technologie level evolved extremly fast, so did their synthetics. But they evolved too fast, they were not ready
for the power they suddenly possesed. After the synthetic revolution, they had only one chance, to activate the Citadel and escape through it and destroy it, many lost souls where left behind in hell, Andromeda turned into. They had no idea, where it leads to.
From that point u could tell an unbelievable amount of stories.
They are thankful, that our galaxy give them a new home, but they could try to wipe out all Geth, which could lead to trouble.
The Citadel in Andromeda gets repeaired, u may be able to enter it.
You could enter the suddenly working Citadel be
fore, the other side gets destroyed and do a Battlestar Galactica plot.
The new species with its technology could help solving problems, u may have.
They could bring back Krogans, if u wiped them out and a bloody war takes place. Same with Rachnii, etc.
But, OF COURSE, Cerberus still exists, or re
formed or became even an equial and less aggressiv sort of political power. U can't wipe out Cerberus, because it is an idea. ^^
Overall i can't imagine the Reapers are just chilling 50000 years in outer space. If they at least travel
for about 25000 to the
next Galaxy, it is completly valid
for me. The Reapers should know, that, if their assumption about the synthetics organics is true, which is what they believe, that this is a universal law and it is only a matter of time, until Synthetics of another Galaxy get that powerful, that they might try to reach other galaxies.
