My wife and I were having a discussion about the state of the Quarian Ark. In the epilogue when listening to the Quarian Ark distress signal they are asking all others to stay away. We were discussing why they would do that. I've heard some theories that some geth stowed away, but that seems unlikely to me. What we thought is possible is that the Quarians attempted something similar to what the Krogan did to combat the genophage during stasis, except it went wrong.
The Quarians were attempting to improve their immune systems through the 600 years in cryo in hopes that they may be able to arrive in Andromeda without the necessity of suits. But rather than improve, it worsened. As such they would be in dire straights due to all of their people getting sick. Even if their experiment didn't work, any Andromeda disease would be entirely new to their immune systems and be very dangerous to every single Quarian.
This brings us to why they would be asking people to stay away. If their immune systems worsened, any contact with any other species could be hugely detrimental. Even if their immune systems stayed the same they would be effected by anything in the systems of the visiting pathfinder.
Not a perfect theory I know but still I think it would be an interesting twist for DLC.
Thoughts?
