I want to quit Andromeda Initiative. It's a suicide mission.

So many have been wondering why an expedition would be formed, logically, to go explore another galaxy when there is just so much more galaxy to explore close at hand.  Well, there are many reasons to want to leave the Milky way.  From Krogan Genophages, wars and invasions, the threat of Reaper anhilation around the corner (you can't tell me that someone in the AIs founding fathers dosen't know of what happened with the Geth and believes Shepard's story), and huge governmental over reach.  Whereas, and this goes into the 'why can't they explore the Milkyway' aspect, the galaxy actively discourages exploration of that galaxy.  In so much as one of the Council Species fired on an unknown group of ships trying to open an inactive Mass Relay simply for the purposes of enforcing Galactic Law.  (See the First Contact War).  

But to make the initiative viable they need a Sales pitch.  Enter 'our sensors have detected a resource rich area of space in the Helios Cluster', but, as others have noted in the trailers the BioWare devs are mentioning that they are low on resources.  This is odd.  Unless they are intentionally lying to the members of the AI or at the best stretching the truth.  They may have some idea of what's over there but considering the events at the start of the game (if you know you know, if you don't I am too lazy to post a spoiler warning right now, so keeping it vague), and considering the repeated utterances by the devs that the Andromeda Galaxy's Helios Cluster might not be as resource rich as we thought, it indicates they had a vastly incomplete picture of what the Andromeda Galaxy is actually like and it was a hale marry all along...just one they didn't share with most members of the expedition.  So much so that: 




I think this could be brilliant writing.  If they can pull it off because it will give the narrative, and probably a great many characters within the narrative the chance to call the AI leaders out on their bull shit when we hit Andromeda.  It is what we should have been able to do in ME 3s ending where we got to see the Catalyst and talk with...it.  We should have been able to at least say, whatever else happened, 'your anti synthetic bias is illogical'.  Whatever else happened I at least wanted to point out that The Catalysts position was silly.  But no, we did not.  And it almost is like BioWare recognizes shipping off to the Andromeda Galaxy is a mad idea, and so instead of getting there and everything is happy go lucky they get there and hey...guess what...everything is so screwed.  Which also enables them to also provide more conflict into the story, which is always important for said story.  

Only problem with this is we might be put into the position of having to enforce the 'law' on people who actually have a good point.  IE the Nexus is corrupt and this whole idea was stupid so we are going to go over...here... Nexus: what you can't do that we need your tax money and shit!  Don't leave us!  Andromeda Initiative descenters: No, we're leaving.  Nexus: Ok here is our merc force to restore order.  I hope this does not happen, or if it does we get choices within the narrative, but Inquisition did stray dangerously close to this territory.
