Your home has been stolen.
Any time you try to find a new one while avoiding confrontation, the Council steps on your throat.
So bend over and take it up the ass like a champ, cumshots and everything?
That's what they've been doing for the past 300 years.
You can only go so long before saying "F*** this S***, Enough of this 'Floating around in space in enviro-suits' BS, Give us back Rannoch, you can hand it to us, or we can take it from your corpse.
We're done being patient."
And then you get shot to pieces.
Brilliant strategy.

Hearing him say I judged you would agree or disagree so many times without telling me what he was gonna do before hand, you have to wonder what else he judged you would agree/disagree with but doesn't show you.
Honestly, he was right about a sufficient percentage of Shepards that I seriously don't blame him.
In my case the omission seemed like a weird kind of shyness since I was 100% on the side of the geth and the fact that he thought my reaction to the idea of upgrading the geth would be anything other than "do this thing as fast as possible" was laughable.
Well, to be honest, Xen's weapons made winning pretty damn believable.
Well, until the Reapers came in to subjugate the now-weakened geth. And since the quarians were the ones that weakened them, yeah, the quarians had a part in this mess.
BUT, you CAN'T tell me the geth were wholy innocent. Even if they didn't wan't harm to come to organics, they still put their priroities first. They let the rest of the Galaxy deal with the Heretic problem they created, because the Heretics "were no longer part of them." So they figured "not our problem anymore."
If the Alliance had tried that with Cerberus, they would have gotten censorship instantly. Why should the geth get a free pass?
I know they had readons. Yes, they were pressed in the Morning War, and it was do or die. But I find it hard to believe the situation was SO desprate for the geth, that they found it absolutly nessessary to slaughter "millions upon millions of quarians" in such a relitively short amount of time. They were either rushed, or extremely overzelous in self-preservation of themselves. Although, it could be argueble about their mental state, geive they were a "young, impressionable race" at the time.
But still, in regards to the next war in ME3, yes, the geth were forced into joining the Reapers, because Xen's weapons blinded them, and the attack on the megastructure was probably like a sudden lobotomy without ahnistehic. And the quarians kicked them while down .So when someone came to them offering to make the pain stop and save them from the "thugs," the reflexively reached out. And subsiquently couldn't back out again.
BUT, I can't help but believe that had the geth not been so isolated from the galaxy, that the war would never have happened. They cut themselves off from everyone else, so no one had any idea what-so-ever that they didn't want war. Also, they never tried to open diolouges with the quairans. They never took risks, like that maybe the quarians might listen to them. Or at the very least, hear the messege. Even if nobody believed it, it would have been a START. A beginning to work from in trying to reunify them.
BOTH sides are at fault. The quarians for being too agressive. And the geth for being too sendentary.
And in my personal opinion, that was THE ONE THING I downright
HATED about the Rannoch Arc.
I'm a geth sympathizer, and even
I felt like they were trying too hard to force-feed people the "Geth are poor misunderstood and abused cherubs. Feel sad and guilty for them, or your a Renagade bastard."
GOOD GOD!
I expected to see them lay out all these conflicting reasons. I expected both sides to look at themselves and realize they needed to stop blaiming each other and realize that they had equal fault in this mess.
For the quarians to realize that if they hadn't been so rash, they wouldn't be trapped like this. That they let their old hates bring them to the brink of desperation.
For the geth to realize that had they not been so isolated, they wouldn't be hated and enslaved to the Reapers. That they blamed the quarians for
everything in the war, and ignoring that not everything was simply "reaction."
I expected to have a hard time sorting through and figuring out which side had true justification for thei actions. Or if either one really
did have justifacation at all.
Instead, i got:
"The quarians are ingroant dicks. Thats' the entire reason this happened. The geth are totally inncoent, misunderstood and abused."
And with that, deep and moving motivations for the story went right out the window for me, in regards to Rannoch.

Retour en haut
killed anyone that went into the Veil to find them, © did abso-friggen-lutly nothing while the Heretics carved up the Citadel fleet, the Citadel, and half the Attacan Traverse, (d) did zilch-zero-zip-nada to stop the Heretics from going with the Reapers in the first place, knowing full well the damage to organics thwy would cause, and saying they "accepted" their reasons for killing them, or (e) didn't even come out to tell anyone that the Heretics actions were not a representation of how the rest of them felt?
