Oh s***! What I missed during my writing. Amazing! Simply amazing!

But this is a Seival thread. Seival + Wulfie + Opti = OMFG ....

I have found that the best course of action within a thread involving any of those people is to just not take it in any way shape or form seriously....now if you will excuse me....

@Shotgun J:  What is that thing?  It, like, speaks to me with its mind, as if it were a creature of incredible, unfathomable intellect:



You know what?  Mass Effect 1.  If that had been it, I would have missed some stuff from ME2.  But it would have been fine.

I don't care what Leviathan's purpose is. He's not going to take control, and if he tries, he dies.

If the Reapers themselves couldn't kill Leviathans, then lesser races better not even think about any hostile actions against them. Also, no one will even care to do something about Leviathans. As before, Leviathans are above lesser beings' concerns.

Wait for it guys, this is going to be fun:

Harbinger used to be the Leviathans.  What do you mean, they can't beat them?  You mean because they didn't find all of them? 

Don't worry friend, headcannon will save us!

Headcannon to the rescue!

Wherever logic rears it's ugly head, headcannon will arrive to smite it dead!
Whenever reason seeks to spread it's plight, headcannon will come to fight fight fight!

HOORAY HEADCANNON!

I'm waiting for my next:  This exchange is over, in his best Sovereign voice.

aaaaand now I'm imagining this little poem read in harbinger's voice.....I like you.

You'd think that would have been included in the Prothean's message, right?

Well, it was.  Just hard to understand through their Jamaican accent.

this is by far the best reaction I've ever seen to Seival's posts.

The Leviathans can't control anything without their orbs.

Incorrect. They used their thralls to create the orbs, therefore they could enthrall before orbs existed. And they are about to enslave Shepard in the hydrosuit - s/he has to ask (Renegade: demand) to be released.

The orbs merely allow them to do it from a very long distance away, as well as spy, with minimal risk to themselves.

Argolas wrote...

Once the orb is destroyed, the thrall is free again, as seen in the mining facility where people who were enthralled for 10 years are freed immediatly once the orbs are gone.

There are no leviathans on that asteroid. So whatever the maximum distance of their control is, obviously the asteroid was too far away without the orbs.

But they can space travel. And hide in the depths. They are infinitely patient and quite cunning, to have escaped detection for 37M+ years despite their size.

All they need is one out-of-the-way colony, with resources that can make orbs, and suddenly they are a problem again. And all they have to do is wait until they fade into history and legend once more.

I think a crown would make this more legit.

Apparently the takeaway from this thread is that cuttlefish are an adorably terrible natural disaster, unless you feed them bacon and diamonds.

... right?

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Leviathan for dinner, anyone?

[TheProtheans]

Simply because the Reapers can not do something does not mean that Organics can not do it.
I was going to pull in outside examples but Mass effect has it's own.

The Reapers could not achieve Synthesis, Organics did.
Hunting down the Leviathans would be the same.

You sir, have a brilliant mind and I truly believe you have uncovered the super secret plot of the next Mass Effect Game.

He got everything right.

Except there's going to be a dance/rock battle to determine the fate of the galaxy.

Correct. The Leviathans can control themselves, but only at fairly close ranges. Without the orbs, it seems like it's a pretty limited range. With the orbs, the Leviathans can control from anywhere in the galaxy, but the actual range of the orb seems to be limited. There were several on the surface of Despoina, and they were unable to grab a Reaper  until it lowered its altitude attacking the shuttle to within range. 

Argolas is correct though about becoming free of Leviathan influence with a destroyed orb, though it is also shown that the prior enthralled individuals (Dr. Anne Bryson) are now more susceptible to Leviathan control if in close proximity to an unshielded orb.

Is there any proof that the Leviathans have spacecraft? Or that they're capable of flight themselves? As far as I see, there was no real correlation between the creature sightings and Leviathan. It was just a nifty gameplay mechanic. So I disregard that as unfounded.

There's no need to point out the Leviathan's ability to hide underwater, or that they are cunning and intelligent. That is established knowledge. Same with the time stamps: It's even longer than 37 million years. According to estimates made on the Leviathan of Dis in the first game, the Reaper corpse was at least 1 billion years old. The cycle has been going on for at least the last billion years.

And yes, they need thralls to create technology that is usable for them. On an ocean world, there is no land for intelligent species to evolve and be able to manipulate technology meaningfully for the Leviathans. And if you hide away their location and keep a fleet in orbit (since Levi's range doesn not appear to extend that far), Leviathan will have no means, to escape or enthrall, especially if all of the orbs that are used (it's a fairly small number) are tracked and destroyed.

The only thing that doesn't make this airtight is the possible existence of other orbs scattered throughout the galaxy, waiting to be found by an unsuspecting sentient...
