I just want to know.... would synthesis... no, never mind. I had this thought about if synthesis would make it easier for them to fillet salmon, but then realized that with synthesis it wouldn't be salmon anymore.

I wonder if those circuit bits are crunchy...


Wait a minute, would the fish have the same enlightened state of being that all others supposedly have thanks to the magic green-beam?  Singing dolphins next?

Wait, can people even die after synthesis? They can have kids and the green beam cures the genophage, but can they die from old age?

That's normal; nothing to be worried about. Now, get in the Reaper smoothie machine!

"If the essence of life is information carried in DNA, then society and civilization are just colossal memory systems and a metropolis like this one, simply a sprawling external memory."

This idea from the GITS: Innocence... it's genius. And recently I imagined - what if the Catalyst would say something like that?...

...Well, actually it said something like that, but differently. A Reaper is not just a harvester made of harvested lives. It is also a storage of colossal memory systems. Contained essence of life... in other words - preserved life. This means the Catalyst preserved life in each Cycle in two ways: made sure the new life will flourish, and the harvested lives were not wasted.

To be harvested by the Reapers is not to be killed.
The essence of Harvested people is still alive, preserved in the Reaper form.
Killing a Reaper is a crime. Crime equal to the genocide. And total disrespect of the ones who came before us.

Ok. For the slow ones in the peanut gallery. Giant lasers, don't save you. Niether does being blended into a Reaper milkshake. Your life stops.

Now, if the game ever, EVER, went into showing us that this genetic memory crap worked for the Reapers, then you might, might, have an arguement. However, this still doesn't make giant lasers our salvation.

Nor does it give a free pass to the Reapers doing nothing to solve the problem they are trying to solve.

If I crush a termite in my house, without taking care of the nests, so that my wooden house will continue to survive, I'm not helping the problem. There's no reason I shouldn't call an exterminator to take care of the root of the issue.

uuuhhh...

That's how I like my veggies.

But seriously...what the hell does it do with things like these? Even Joker's hat has those weird circuits in them. Is it now one with the universe as well?

Joke's on you, people don't need to eat after synthesis. Everyone just does photosynthesis, why do you think everything's so green?

"Turning people into goo isn't killing them, it's actually something positive"

According to the Synthesis ending, that "goo" can come back to life. Even husks become self-aware, remember?

Harvested people... their essence can't be considered as dead. They are alive.

Let's say someone you care about was heavily wounded, and lost consciousness. There were complications and the person fall into a coma. Doctors are able to save the person, but warned you the person will most likely lost all memories if survive. Doctors asked you to decide - let the person die, or help the person to survive even if the memories will be lost.

What will you choose? Do you consider the unconsciousness person who will lost the memories after awaking as dead? Personally, I consider the person alive, and I will ask the doctors to help.



Killing husks and Reaper ships is like killing unconsciousness persons who did nothing bad to your kind.

Headcanon! The only thing that comes anywhere near that is Kenji, and
we're not even sure what that scene means because there is zero context.

You consider that as "headcanon" only because you refuse (or unable) to understand the body language in soldier-and-the-husk scene of Synthesis ending.

I'd let them die.

I don't consider the husks or goo as living. It's goo. 

You seem to have a different definition of life than most, but respect us when we say that goo is just goo. 

I'd rather die than live in that kind of existence.

[KaiserShep]

If I was turned into a husk, and I suddenly got my awareness back, I'm pretty sure I'd grab the soldier's gun and finish the job if he refuses to.

Where is this shown? I'll wait here for a bit while you take your time making up some long answer proclaiming the reapers are nice cuddly bears.

It isn't. The only thing we do know is that it contains a data archive, one which I would be more than happy to erase.

Well the husk certainly doesn't seem to react as being human again, nor anything more than a animal that no longer wants to kill as it was directed to.

And that still doesn't show that "goo" can live again.

Going by your logic,Control is the equivalent to enslaving thousands of races.

Which you can release by applying Synthesis later, after Control... Which will also help you to avoid unneeded deaths on the Citadel in the process of Synthesizing.
