What is it?

 

For me: post-destroy, Vega finally comes out and settles down with Cortez.

[CrutchCricket]

Shepard ascends to mecha-godhood and spends the rest of eternity exploring the cosmos until it ascends to actual godhood.

 

Other awesome things happen with the rest of the MEverse that would take weeks maybe even months for me to get it all down.

That the Liara cameo in ME2-maingame more or less played out like I had imagined it in my fanfic "Reunion".

I don't really have a 'headcannon'. I have a canon playthrough, and I take whatever the game tells me or implies. And then I'll speculate on all the little possibilities that the future holds.

So, Vega goes N7 full time. Ash is a Spectre full time. Javik lives out the rest of his days in peace among the Hanar. Tali goes 'home'. Garrus retires and lives off the royalties from the vids. Liara and Shep go off and live their lives together (not really in the public eye I'd imagine).


As far as all the other characters throughout the trilogy, I don't necessarily 'headcannon' anything because I think that's putting definitive outcomes on things that I can only speculate about. Which I find is a big part of the fun. I tend to imagine many didn't make it on the Citadel (especially the Presidium). I imagine galactic government may change in a big way (nothing absolutely drastic, but moreso than in any time since the First Contact War). And many more ponderings...

Same here!! After a long break from Mass Effect (except frequenting BSN), I've only recently taken on some post-ME3 story ideas I had made outlines for.

 

That said, I'm pretty sure I detailed the fates of all characters I don't plan to write about. It's floating around somewhere.

 

Then I also have a fair share of in-game headcanon, like the part where Anderson and Udina are lovers.

I've been working on my own personal headcanon for a post-Destroy galaxy, but I haven't decided if I wanted to throw hours of my life away doing it in comic form. But anyway, aside from Shepard officially retiring from duty, it's mostly about the tech advancements from all the reaper hulks, and how their power sources are a boon for the relay reconstruction initiative.

[TheOneTrueBioticGod]

Let's see, the Salarians rule the galaxy through treasury bonds and a monopoly on industrial production. Salarian corporations dominate the market and Sur'Kesh becomes the de facto capital of the previously council governments. However, they collectively have no desire to become monarchs over the devastated races of the galaxy and just enjoy huge economic growth due to the capital collected from their treasury bonds which allows their government to engage in infrastructure projects with having practically no taxes.

Resurrecting an old post:


Shot the tube. Reapers destroyed.

Normandy made an emergency landing on a habitable world in the Alpha Centauri star system, approximately eight hours away from Earth via FTL (the planet's existence was established in Cerberus Daily News; see Manswell Expedition). The crew survived, but EDI could not be re-activated. Notably, the crew buried her body rather than salvage it for components. Repairs were effected to the Normandy by the end of the third week, although communications remained down on account of a power surge at the time of EDI's deactivation "de-synchronizing" the Normandy's QEC's entangled quantum particle, thus rendering it useless. They returned to Sol to find recovery efforts already underway.

Repairs to primary relays began almost immediately. The Charon relay, being a secondary, was ignored - the primary relay which became the focus of attention is in Arcturus, a few days away from Sol via conventional FTL. While the undertaking was larger than any previously attempted, the galaxy had sufficient knowledge of how the relays functioned from having constructed comm relays en masse prior to the war. With no shortage of volunteers, and the galaxy's premier scientists concentrated in Shield Fleet, the Arcturus Relay was repaired within three years.

Without other primary relays to network with, this repair effort would have been useless. Thankfully, the Alliance communication hub on Ontarom, with QEC contact to the homeworlds of every major species (arranged to coordinate the war effort as various races joined the unified fleet), allowed a galaxy-wide coordinated effort in primary relay repair. Knowledge and critical expertise were shared, allowing systems without experts on-hand to complete repairs despite their handicap. Palaven, Rannoch, Thessia, Kahje, even Tuchanka were able to repair their local relays. The Widow Nebula, formerly home to the Citadel and hub of the relay network, however, remained inaccessible for nearly three decades later, severely restricting traffic between systems. Channels were filled by ships which went to Earth returning home.

Some major systems were able to reconnect, including the aforementioned homeworlds, but many colonies (lacking either manufacturing facilities or QEC and thus access to the expertise to repair their relays) were not. These "lost colonies" had to stand on their own. Some were eventually tied back in to the relay network. Some worlds (including, notably, Khar'shan) could never be again, their survival left an open question. Communication was greatly slowed, with some families waiting months or years to learn what became of their loved ones, but while relay traffic now followed roundabout routes, most of those who participated in the battle above Earth were eventually able to return home.

The Quarian and Turian fleets quickly set to re-establishing fuel depots on the gas giants of the Sol system, surviving the three-year stranding in Sol/Arcturus thanks to the output of the Rayya. Relay repairs proceeded faster in their respective systems than in any other. The Asari were able to return to their homeworld the following year; the Krogan two years after that - although by that point, many levos (and some dextros) decided to settle on Earth, which they had spent years rebuilding. Some societies bounced back quickly; others did not. The Turians' martial efficiency allowed reconstruction on Palaven to begin the same day hostilities ended. The Quarians eventually turned to Salarian geneticists for assistance in re-acclimating to their homeworld, and though by most species' standards they were "roughing it" for the first few years, by the end of the decade they had attained a reasonably high standard of living. Due to their low population, it would be centuries still before they would be seen as anything more than a minor polity. The Krogan were not as pacific as initially hoped, however, and ultimately it was agreed that they remain quarantined to the systems rewarded to them for however long it took for their culture to adjust to their re-re-adjusted birthrate. It would be centuries still until they began integrating into wider galactic society.

How galactic society would restructure itself would be a point of contention for years to come, but between the scandal on Thessia and the valued contribution to the war effort by previously-maligned species, the old Council system was finished.

And as for Shepard, the commander survived his injuries, discovered by Bailey, who had taken a detachment of C-Sec to the Citadel Tower in an unsuccessful attempt to open the ward arms. He spent months in intensive care, ultimately making a partial recovery requiring therapy for years to come. He and Tali lived on the Citadel until relay functionality was restored, at which point they returned to Rannoch, doing their best to stay out of the public eye.

Question, in High-EMS destroy, which I always get, we only see the rings on the relay being destroyed and the eezo core dissapating. But then, during the monologue, it's completely destroyed. Is this an inconsistency or is it intended? It makes a pretty huge difference.

I guess it really depends on how BioWare really cares to write the details of the relays' internal structure, BUT, we do have this to work with. The only part of the relay that's actually broken is a portion below the rings, while the bulkier section is left intact.

I just remember seeing only the rings flying apart. Which would be very easy to fix. Shove some of the eezo from the dead Reapers' drive cores in the and mend those rings and the relay should be fixed. 

[KaiserShep]

True, but then if the Citadel is repaired, there's no reason why the lower section of the relay can't be either.

Warn me when you finish it

On the topic: i think the only thing i headcannon is that in Horizon Miranda joins the Normandy and the Geth are not destroyed, in fact that last conversation is different for me.

[DeinonSlayer]

Warn me when you finish it

Yep, need to get to minimum safe distance.



EDIT: I was looking for a gif depicting a massive explosion, but this was too good NOT to share.

[Andrew Lucas]

That was not what i meant but okay then and nice GIF BTW.

I know. We've razzed him in the past over his... colorful imaginings of how characters he dislikes get killed off. I'm curious to see it just to read something by someone who knows the trade and tries to depict it accurately.

I'm working on a Bring Down the Sky fic myself, I only hope I can meet the same standards.

Blasto 9: The Search For Shep, starring Blasto, Conrad Verner, Jenna, Chorban, Jahleed, and the ghost of Emily Wong.

 

Edit: Oops, forgot to add officer Eddie Lang.

[KaiserShep]

The real Blasto died on the Citadel when the reapers attacked it. His stand-in has assumed the role of Blasto, and only his agent knows the truth.

[SporkFu]

Kinda like Elvis in Bubba Ho-Tep.

Actually on the return trip to Earth in the Destroy ending the long parts of the relays break off too. That's high EMS. Also happens in control except you have reaper welders.

Liara's gift is a last minute love confession to Shepard if he/she doesn't romance her.

Good call.
