There's something shady about the Andromeda Initiative - Minius GC

if you knew what I knew...you would too

Remember waaaaaay back when they confirmed that Cerberus was in the game? Like in the drought that was info? We're talking last year, this time? Possibly even before that.

I do.

I agree, no apologies are required.

I actually like the ending as long as Leviathan+EC+Citadel is included, I guess I'm lucky like that lol.

I'm at peace with the endings when I remember they won't have anything to do with the new game. Because the best medicine is denial.

I didn't mind Cerberus in ME2. Not a huge fan of working with/for them, but whatever.

Didn't like them being such a big deal in ME3 though.

Shadiness would be great. But have it be but the founders/backers/jien (or whatever her name is). Or the dumbasses that decided guns on ships = bad mmkay.

Plot Twist: TIM is behind the whole thing and he's actually part of the remnant. That's why his eyes were weird looking and blue. lol

so....like as long as pretend I am a billionaire I am happy with my life?

Come on...headcanon is one step removed from delusion

Also, the ending itself is only half the issue, the other half is how it got to its state and the handling of the backlash

Eveytime there's a post about theories I get like:



As I said in another discussion, Minius has good points about the Initiative and since the very beggining of leakes about the plot I've been wondering if there is something else behind the Initiative beyond the "let's explore new resourceful worlds".

Well, after you play a lot of the Deus Ex series, you always know there's some kind of conspiracy hidden in everything that is big and has enough power as the Initiative.

We have to think that the Ryder family's plot is an important part of the game. Alec is a cientist who created an AI to make human enhancements. That is something to think about.

We can't deny that Cerberus probably has its hand above the Initiative, either with money or influence. It's a good link with the previous games. Yes, I hope there won't be a lot of missions related to Cerberus, but we will probably hear about them. In addition, Jien Garson does seem to be a powerfull woman with potential strong reasons to leave the Milk Way.

Throughout the trailers and gameplays we've been able to see a time skip, since some planets already have closed factions and groups who "rule" them. What about anarchists? If the Initiative was so good, why are there some people who don't seem to accept its rules? Why did Sloane Kelly leave the AI?

Weren't they volunteers to this journey? Why are they rebelling?

I really hope to see some plot twists during the game and I think Alec is one of the very best candidates to be one of them.

Let's hope for the best theories to become true

The conclusion, that Cerberus has a lot to do with the Andromeda Initiative doesn't make any sense to me, because
a) it's not a human only expedition,
even if you say a) doesn't matter because Cerberus is not behind it but merely infiltrating the Initiative, then Cerberus likely still wouldn't risk to let the other arks reach Andromeda,
c) TIM is dead certain that the Reapers are the biggest power imaginable, so why would he use ressources to search for another power that has no chance to come into play before it's do or die against the Reapers,
d) TIM is also dead certain that he will find a way to control the Reapers, so I don't think he has any interest in a back-up plan its outcome he won't see.

With the setup we are seeing it is far more likely that it is secretly a council mission. It might have started as a "can we do it" research project and then after the events of ME1 the council planned the launch in case Shepard is right about the Reapers coming in shortly.

They recruit people who are out for the biggest adventure they can imagine without telling them the truth about the Reapers because otherwise there would be panic in the Milky Way and people who want to avoid the Reaper invasion would ask "why can't I go with my family" and would probably do anything to hop on one of the arks - and in doing so endangering the whole project.

OFF-TOPIC:
Perfect answer to the "OMG Cora is ugly , she has a 'lesbian' haircut" camp. Starbuck had short hair for the most part of BSG and most men found her super hot.
I was lucky enough to have met (and taken a picture" with Katee Sackhoff and Tricia Helfer and she looked ( i mean both looked) a m a z i n g from up close .

Anyway to not derail the topic , I watched this video today and I must say it reflects most of my thoughts on the Ai. There is definitely something going on with it and I cannot wait to find out.

I suspect Cylons are behind the AI!
