First off, just because the dev said its fake makes it so? What if they were true? You think they'd say yes? Slight rant done/. Anyways lets continue about the leaks
>The Andromeda Initiative is a cover for attempts to harvest energy from a strange and massive celestial body comprised of more than 80% Eezo, and is actually run by various proxy organizations backed by the Council.
>The celestial bodt is dubbed the "Anomalous Eezo Body".
>Three of the largest colonist ships are actually designed to harvest vast amounts of Eezo emissions from the Anomalous Eezo Body and to then project it to an undisclosed location in the Milky Way for storage via an experimental pseudo-relay.
>Cerberus has operatives as part of the project who become your tenuous allies regardless of your decisions, though how friendly your relationship is varies depending on your choices. They're a tiny minority of the human colonists but occupy significant positions and have numerous robotic forces.
>Your father sabotages one of the harvesting ship to explode and take out the other two out of the belief that the Anomalous Eezo Body being harvested for military use will lead to an imbalance of power and the establishment of an authoritarian regime by the Council over non-Council species both in the Milky Way; obviously including mankind.
>He was not a Cerberus operative but assisted their infiltration out of paranoia over the project and belief that he needed them to find out what was going on.
>His sabotage was unsanctioned by them, and it's implied they had plans of their own for disrupting or hijacking the harvesting project.
>Your Ryder dies in the end during the self-destruct sequence of the harvesting ship (the other two can be saved by your team if you do well) since it cannot be stopped regardless of what actions you take and their sibling seems to be setup as the protagonist for the sequel in the epilogue, giving an official statement on the incident determined by you.
If you claim that the Harvesting ship(s) being destroyed was caused by an oversight by the heads of the project that led to a critical malfunction:
>Relations degrade between the Turian/Asari/Salarians and humanity. Only the command and high ranking members of their research teams/military detachments were aware of the project's real purpose, but their colonists now scorn eachother while trying to shift the blame - with war seeming possible.
>Cerberus approves of this for how it leverages humanity into a more powerful position and the remnants of the AI leadership are implied to be plotting against you.
If you blame your father:
>Humanity occupies the same position as the Council races would, being scorned for his actions.
>Cerberus disapproves and turns against you, but the remainder of the AI leadership are privately grateful and promise you will be rewarded for your loyalty to the harmony of the colonists.
The Kett worship the AEB as a sacred gift as it powers most of their technology and plays an important role in their religion. They oppose the AI colonists early on since they see them as an imperialistic threat, and then later for the project's attempted harvesting of the AEB. A stalemate with them is reached by the end regardless of which choices you make.
Also, for those theorising Cora is related to TIM, it isn't clarified in the game if she is or not - but she is nitably amicable towards the Cerberus agents you come in contact with.
4chan link 404'd and i wont bother retrieving an archive.

This is kind of what I was hoping for, but I really didn't expect them to go this route.
I might even forgive Supermac for ME3 if he pulls this off.

I'd hazard BW is not that clever... but well see, I guess. That would not at all be lighthearted and hopeful story...

Actually that story would be kind of cool. So here is hoping we get something like it.

It's an interesting read, but I highly doubt it.
The biggest red flag for me was the fact that the Ryder you choose dies no matter what and you're forced to play the sibling in the sequel. Personally speaking, I'm not against the idea (it's pretty neat)...but that sounds like all sorts of Backlash Central. A lot of people are absolutely dead set on playing one gender or the other.

Pretty well thought out, but the fact that it's been mentioned numerous times that you can still do a majority of sidequests after completing the critical mission path throws this whole thing out the airlock. How can your Ryder be dead upon completing the main story, if you can still play as your Ryder after the main story. Also the Eezo projection thing doesn't make much sense. If they have technology to project Eezo to undisclosed locations throughout galaxies, why even start up this whole endeavor to travel personally to Andromeda under a colonization rouse. Plus the 634 years that it took to get there pretty much disregards longevity. It's basically Cerberus hoping that after 600 years balances of power and society will be the exact same. By the time they get to Andromeda and then send the Eezo back to the Milky Way it won't even be of any use, for the galactic community in the Milky Way will have already been drastically changed. Honestly, Cerberus conspiring with the Andromeda Initiate to create some sort of regime in the Milky Way is far fetched. Making a one way trip to one galaxy to hopefully influence the other, after 600 years with your evil scheme is kinda silly.

Eh. Cora Harper->must be related to TIM. Oooh, Cerberus! Someone wrote a troll/hope/theory post with Cerberus elements and a twist on ME1 ending. Then the 'leak' disappears. Yeah, I have to call blue suns on this.

The fact Cerberus is a part of this at all makes me roll my eyes. It would be the lamest twist ever to have "sekret sleeper agents" among the colonists. Also really? The entire Initiative is a cover for a conspiracy group? Besides, how would they get all that Eezo back to the MWG??
Yeah no, this leak is ridiculous.

Oh, I remember this thing from 2ch.
It's really funny to read those - Leviathan theory, "Illusive Man insider info" and things like that. Really makes my wonder why peeps with good imagination don't write actual plots or books. Oh, wait, that's because their theories won't ever make sense.

Cerberus = I am expecting the leadership to be shady because corporations are ALWAYS shady in games (and possibly outside of them too) but pleasejesusfuck not Cerberus again. Though, last time I pleasejesusfuck in a sentence it was on the eve of the election and look how that turned out.

Something is drawing both us and the Kett here and I think the clue in in the name (Helios). Perhaps the giant celestial body at the core of Helios cluster is actually an enormous Dark Energy star made up of enough element zero to create Mass Relays for the entire Andromeda galaxy.
As to what the Kett might want with it, maybe they could be persuaded to align with our goals if we share our mass relay technology with them. I think this might be the key to achieving peace.

There are problems with making mass relays, first is that this cycle has never attempted to make one and actively stops any attempts to tamper or study mass relays, and the second is that the Protheans (who were vastly more advanced than this cycle) only just managed to make a very small relay. I'm not saying that the story won't have us building mass relays by the end of it, but it's lorefully an unlikely outcome.

This again, Dutch? We already debunked your other thread with the exact same "leaks" and the devs even tweeted that this nonsense is not in their game.
