Hello Everyone,

 

Okay, I just thought about this one day and thought I'd share it with everyone. Ofcourse, I am not stating that this is canon, but I guess it would be canon to my Shepard's story… sort of a fan fiction if you will.

 

So let's go with the ending at face value, no Indoctrination Theory going on. Let's say Shepard chooses the Destroy ending with the "breathing scene" occurring at the end. Since my Shepard is a biotic, after shooting the crucible and causing an explosion, he ends up in space and falling towards Earth. It's true that the first time around when he was falling towards a planet, he died and damaged beyond repair… at least not for Cerberus' standards. But now he's upgraded and, at least I would like to believe, a little more superhuman than he used to be. Perhaps he gets burned up a little, but him having upgrades and a biotic, perhaps he forced up some sort of HUGE BARRIER that would shield him as he comes hurtling towards Earth. He would hit the surface, cause some damage due to his biotics…. but survives…. barely… but alive.

 

What do you guys think? Do you think my fan theory has some good assumptions to it? Let me know =)

[CaIIisto]

Best hope that Shepard's Cerberus 'upgrades' had nothing to do with Reaper tech......

[DeinonSlayer]

The fact that non-biotic Shepards get the same scene tells us biotics had no role in his/her survival.

What I don't get is this assumption that the breath scene takes place on Earth.

Yes true, but my assumption is PURELY on my own Shepard. I am aware this would not make any sense with any of the OTHER Shepards. Like I said, I'm NOT stating this is canon at all. Just wondering if my assumption would make any sense with strictly Biotic Shepards. As for the other Shepards, perhaps I'll think up a different story. 

 

And yes, I'm assuming Shepard would land on Earth. I'm curious to hear where you think he landed though

Obviously, since Shepard will survive Destroy regardless of class the class powers cannot possibly be the means by which Shepard survives. Also, you don't seem to have any grasp of what reentry does to things - if it's the implants keeping Shepard alive, the teaser video shown at the end should be showing a red glowing terminator skeleton. 

[DeinonSlayer]

Ten, perhaps fifteen feet farther back from the terminal he shot.

Sigh… I'm sorry that you think that way about me having no grasp about what reentry would do to things coming into a planet. I'm just making a "for fun" assumption….

I doubt he 'landed' anywhere - I always took the breathe scene to have taken place amongst the remnants of a half-destroyed Citadel.

Ok, fair enough

Why would Shepard be falling out of orbit? This isn't Star Trek, where ships fall out of orbit the moment their engines fail.

[SwobyJ]

Biotics don't matter much if he's stunned unconscious, which is what the breath scene implies to me, even in Literal.

[DeinonSlayer]

By the way, what's your Shepard's contingency for being exposed to hard vacuum all the way between the Citadel and the Earth's surface?

S/he's space jesus?

Well, it's not like it did much the first time Shep got spaced...

Sort of related. Is there an explanation anywhere for those barriers that can hold back vacuums (or keep in air?). Examples like: the barrier that Shepard had to walk through to reach Joker at the beginning of ME2, the barrier over the broken parts of the Normandy at the end of ME2, and the barriers between the Crucible and the Citadel at the end of ME3. It just seems like they were put there for cinematic reasons, but I wonder if any one ever came up with a handwave for one.

Mass Effect fields. All of them.

Something a little more specific.

[DeinonSlayer]

Handwavium, AKA Element Minus One.

Incidentally, haptic interfaces shouldn't work in vacuum either. The Cain should shoot a non-guided projectile. Geth fighters should have neither pilots nor cockpits. The Victory Fleet would take hours or days to transit a single relay. "Thanix missiles" is a contradiction in terms. The list goes on.

What sort of more specific are you looking for?

I guess some sort of statement from a developer addressing it.

All those too. I'm also still wondering how Reave works.

[AlanC9]

You mean more than the existing Codex entries tell us? What more do you need explained?

[DeinonSlayer]

Along with Dominate and... well, Pull and Throw.

I'm just wondering if there's a difference between mass effect fields or something. This isn't a complaint, I'm just curious.

Dominate, I'm not sure about it either (does Shepard go A-Y on someone?); although it is one of my favorite bonus abilities in ME2. My theory for how Pull/Lift works is that the target loses mass and becomes less dense compared to the surrounding medium and starts floating; although it doesn't explain Pull as well, combat mechanics I guess. Throw, back in ME1, I figured was some sort of biotic generate wave pulse that sent a condensed pocket of whatever medium at the target.

[AlanC9]

The codex already describes several different uses for mass effect fields, but all the substance is stuff like" The atmosphere is contained by the centrifugal force of rotation and a "membrane" of dense, colorless sulphur hexafluoride gas, held in place by carefully managed mass effect fields."

[Glockwheeler]

I suspect that re-entry would have likely cooked him, regardless of a barrier or not. Aside from that, an ample supply of O2 from point A to point B would have been an issue as well. His suit was toast and he didn't even have a rebreather helmet at that point. I could see where the use of a barrier may have helped in the initial explosion following his/her choice of destroy, however.
