Mass Effect '5' speculation (Official Thread)

Every scene shows multiple Reapers dropping down and attacking a small city, and that's happening all over the each home world. Hundreds per world is a low ball estimate. And while i never did the math like themikefest did, they heavily implied this has been going on for a billion+years and a reaper every 50,000k adds up to a lot of damn reapers.

As for finding the thing at the right time, my point wasn't the finding but the what is being found.  I think finding a super space magic space gun less plausible than a sensor picking up a massive reaper invasion hiding for repairs in some small corner of the galaxy. Especially since I suspect they will need workers to do the fixing so they'd need to take over something.

So it's Alpha Protocol in space ?

Boy this got heated.

I wonder if Jack was there somewhere, maybe when she was with that cult.  I mean, it is one of her sayings.

Sure, but it's fun to imagine that she ran with some of these people, like the biotic cultists or something.

UUuUuuu yes, it's time to speculate again! That was the most fun part of Andromeda

Yeah I saw this. He has good Ideas, but I don't know about his RTS idea or the main character being any species.

The beam was impossible to miss so I'd rather say we could deal with Leviathan since they're free to re-enter the galaxy once again and we know they're not really other-races friendly. Add re-building the galaxy into the story and missions like re-awake or not Geth and EDI etc. In my canon it's super easy to bring them back - just "plug" them into the data core. Their bodies are "dead" but their data is not. EDI is Normandy in so many levels that it should be impossible for the ship to fly just like that at the end of ME3, after Destroy so EDI should've been already back, just not in "her body". And since Shepard is BW&EA's golden goose, they can put her/him as a protag once again since she/he was the one facing Leviathan in the first place and is the one responsible for the decision of what to do at the very end. Just let her/him heal at least a bit...
and I need those blue children, ok? I seriously need them!!!

There's also a way to literally connect Shep to Andromeda whenever BW decides to go back to MEA. Liara knew about the project. I can't not see Shep, being a spectre and not knowing about it too. She/he just had to know. And since we know Shep doesn't like to be the face of the press and a superhero, he/she may be simply tired of dealing with all of it and just say - let's go to Andromeda! Liara, being a nerd, would live it. And Shep would like it too - a new place, a new history. This way Shep doesn't even need to be a protag. They could make her/him a teacher, mentor, someone who helps the pathfinder through sharing a knowledge and experience. And since Ryder had some N7 training, they could actually go through it under Shep's supervision. 

Which is a bull since we know the beam did go through all of the relays. The only way for the reapers to survive would be if some of them didn't enter the galaxy and were still in the dark space which is also not true. Whenever they invade, they do it full power. 

We've seen it on the map during the end. The beam went from relay to relay through the entire galaxy.

I'm pretty sure there're more of them
