Not sure if anyone has brought this up anyway...

When you go to save Tali from the Geth, you learn something is affecting a star thats causing it to give off more solar radiation, something about dark energy changing the interior. You also learn that the star is apparently way to young to have this happen to it.

Perhaps this is the first inside look about a possible way for the Reapers to return. Seems somewhat far-fetched but IMO it honeslty felt like it had more to it then met the eyes.

I actually think whatever causes the star to be unstable will be used to destroy the Reapers. Think of this happening to a whole bunch of stars... like a chain-reaction of star explosions exploding around the Reaper armada. Only stars have enough power to eliminate them.

Remmeber the vision shepard had in ME1, a star or dying sun seemed to feature prominantly...

But isn't it mentioned that the process would take too long to be an effective weapon?  Think Tali says something to that effect on the Flotilla.

I always thought that was just the visions way of showing the location, shows the star and then zooms out to the planet.

My thinking is the whole dark energy/star thing is just a red herring.

Tali was investigating dark energy and its sudden overload or whatever, also the sun behind TIM glowing red its obviously connected.

Hooray for pointless necro.

I have a feeling dark energy will be linked to the inevitable reaper-killing plot device of ME3.

Hmm, don't get the necro as I am not sure I quite follow what is going on.



Better to make own thread for clarification instead.

This forum really seems to have a bad necromancy problem.

They can always introduce some kind of conduit, or whatever device that could accelerate the process in ME3. I'm sure the writers can work around it.

Gianna Parasini, on Illium, also mentions something about investigating some people's interest in dark energy. 

[Shadow_broker]

Lol this dude only had to wait seven months for someone to see his theory

[scottelite]

Veetor also mentions dark energy on Freedom progress.

[Moiaussi]

It is much more likely to be a reaper plot than an anti-reaper plot. Those were Heretic geth in that system, not 'free' geth, and the Quarians certainly didn't do anything to the sun to start that reaction.



It will still likely lead to the means to defeat the Reapers, but more likely by helping figure out and counter their 'master plan' rather than being some natural phenomenon (which it definately isn't) that gets turned into a weapon.

[Agamo45]

Dark energy was mentioned so many times in ME2 it's obvious it will be a big plot point in ME3.

I agree. But I also think that is will be utilized as a weapon somehow. The idea that its a method of transportation just doesn't seem to fit. But its certainly possible, considering that if the devs want ME3 to occur right after ME2 the Reapers will need an alternate method of transportation considering how far away they are.

or the other way round !

In retribution The Illusive Mans Space Station is overlooking a dieing star. Maybe Cerberus is trying to develope a WMD with the destruction on a solar scale. You could take out a whole fleet with a black hole weapon like that!

You are suggesting that TIM fired a prototype nova bomb/black hole creation weapon into a star he is orbiting in a space station? Care to try that again?

According to the book the station can be moved and it's written on the prologue page of the book. Take a look.

Nerd raged when they brought up dark energy as a star destroyer. You know what destroys stars? Iron. Iron destroys stars, and it does it in seconds. They're just using it as a plot device, and dark energy sounds allot better than iron. So I can't really blame them.

It's not just the mere presence of iron.  It's the production of iron by the star itself, and that usually takes a very, very long time to start happening.

If it can be moved stategicly, it is a starship, not a station...  All orbital facilities can be 'moved.' They don't have magical space anchors holding their place permanently at no power cost. It is still completely nuts to test a nova bomb on a star you are orbiting in such a station.

[Cube404]

Even when you go and visit Freedom's Progress, Veetor mentions readings he took of the Collectors. "...I recorded them with my Omni-Tool. Lots of Readings. Electromagnetic. Dark Energy."



Soooo perhaps some connection to the Reapers.
