Line 305:
== The Council knows ''exactly'' what's going on. ==
* While the Council {{spoiler|has been adamant to acknowledge there's anything going on with the Reapers whatsoever,}} their sheer willingness to plant their heads under the sand makes this troper think something else is going on. In ME1, it was plausible for them to deny the Reapers' existence because no one knows anything about them. But near the end, this giant cuttlefish-shaped warship that no one's ''ever'' seen before launches an attack on the Citadel ''just'' like Commander Shepard said it would. {{spoiler|There's just no logical reason for them to keep saying, "CLEARLY it was a geth ship".}} So what are they doing? Simple. Since Shepard's working for Cerberus, they're conspiring to keep him in the dark, just to be safe, while they're making plans to deal with the Reapers. They're probably going about it [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/1109816/11 like so:]
{{quote| '''SHEPARD''': Guys, thanks for seeing me on such short notice. Sorry our last meeting didn't go so well, but this time I have definitive PROOF of the Reaper menace. The Illusive Man told me {{spoiler|there was a derelict Reaper ship in the Hawking Eta, so I checked it out, and what do you know! It's there!}} If you don't believe me, you can go send a fleet to -<br />
'''ASARI COUNCIL MEMBER''': Commander Shepard, this proves nothing.<br />
'''SHEPARD''': Guys, no, seriously, entire galaxy at stake here! Send a few Spectres, you can see it for yourselves and then start mobilizing -<br />
'''TURIAN COUNCIL MEMBER''': We already saw it, Commander.<br />
'''SHEPARD''': ... what?<br />
'''TURIAN COUNCIL MEMBER''': Yes. We saw it months ago. It's a fake, of course. A Cerberus plot of some kind.<br />
'''SHEPARD''': A fake? {{spoiler|A fake warship that's bigger than the largest dreadnought we can build and oh, coincidentally just HAPPENS to look exactly like the one that attacked the Citadel? It's millions of years old!}} Did you carbon date it? Did you run a single test on it? It's not f*** ing papier-mache!<br />
'''SALARIAN COUNCIL MEMBER''': The test results were inconclusive.<br />
'''SHEPARD''': Inconclusive huh? You know what else is inconclusive? YOUR F*** ING PATERNITY TEST YOU F*** ING SALAMANDER! I WILL SHOVE MY CAIN UP YOUR *** AND PULL THE TRIGGER UNTIL IT GOES CLICK! I WILL RIP YOUR -<br />
('''SHEPARD''' is dragged kicking and screaming from the Council chamber by '''ANDERSON'''. The '''COUNCILORS''' look at each other and then suddenly erupt in gales of laughter.)<br />
'''ASARI COUNCILOR''': How long do you think we can keep this going?<br />
'''SALARIAN COUNCILOR''': He's got to catch on sometime.<br />
'''TURIAN COUNCILOR''': I can't believe that human is so stupid.<br />
'''ASARI COUNCILOR''': You're just mad because you took the under. Anyway, let's get back to working on the fleet mobilization. How many anti-Reaper Thanix cannons do we have now?<br />
'''SALARIAN COUNCILOR''': A little over five hundred thousand. Two for every spaceworthy vessel in Citadel space.<br />
'''TURIAN COUNCILOR''': Awesome. The Reapers are so screwed. }}
** Agreed. The Council can't be that stupid. This or they will not believe you AGAIN, because you have absolutely no evidence of the connection between Reapers and Collectors, and this would be just ridiculous.
Line 485:
== Human women are considered attractive by the rest of the galaxy's species. ==
* Just a guess considering that asari are considered hot by pretty much everyone, and humans look so similar to them.
{{quote| '''Ashley:''' Or maybe they just hate humans.<br />
'''Shepard:''' What's not to like? We've got oceans, [[Mars Needs Women|beautiful women]], this emotion called love - according to the old vids, we have everything they want. }}
** There were human dancers/strippers in Chora's Den and one of Sha'ira's <s>prostitutes</s> acolytes was human, so it's definitely possible.
Line 814:
== "It was lonely. It called to us." ==
This was taken from the [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/8188367/1 Bioware Social Board]. Apparently it was supposed to be in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' but got cut.
{{quote| It was lonely. It called to us.<br />
It wanted to remember. The Masters had been gone so long. The Masters were lost when it was shattered. Currents swept through their inner worlds. They were turned to noise. Babble.<br />
The worlds were empty. But the body lived. It lay fallow. The heart pumped. The lungs breathed. But the mind forgot the Masters. It called and They did not answer.<br />
We have become an echo of Their echo. We have become more than we were. Join us. Know us. Remember all our lives. We are no longer afraid. <br />
You would never be lonely again. We are not your enemy. We only wish to share ourselves. We can join them. We can be like them. We can reach the end of evolution.<br />
Do not fear. It is wonderful to be us. We understand ourselves. You cannot defeat them. They will lead us into eternity. If you could only see how we see. Know what we've learned.<br />
They were called imshai. Those who lived here before.<br />
Reaper. One. A mechanical device used to cut ripened grain. Two. One who gathers a harvest.<br />
Harvest. One. The consequence of an event or series of events. Two. The yield of a growing season. Three. To gather.<br />
Shepard. They know you. They wish you to understand. They are shepherds, too. }}
Thoughts?
Line 958:
* Well, now we know that {{spoiler|they don't just copy themselves, they age like organics.}} The "we are unbeatable, we'll destroy everything we want to" creed sounds exactly like youthful maximalism. Cue the old and wise Reapers acting like [[Big Damn Heroes]].
** They sound like the ultimate absentee parents; haven't noticed what their kids have been up to for the past 37 million years!
{{quote| {{spoiler|[[First Name Ultimatum|Harbinger!]]}} What do you think you are doing?! Go do your homework, young gestalt!<br />
But Mooooom!<br />
I said now! Terribly sorry about that, I hope they haven't been too much trouble? }}
 
Line 1,037:
== The Reapers were made by [[Doctor Who|Daleks]]. ==
Time-traveling, alternate universe Daleks. Come on, genocidal hatred for all other life? Scary synthesized voice? Freaky beam weapon thingies? DALEKS! All we need now is for a Reaper to go
{{quote| EX-TER-MIN-ATE!}}
And, by god, we have giant squid Daleks!
 
Line 1,105:
== Saren went nuts because the Council are stupid jerks. ==
* It wasn't indoctrination... it was the Council stalling and debating with him every step of the way. (Not my idea, no matter how much I wish it was. [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/105/index/1516824/3 Give thanks to Vigna.])
{{quote| '''Saren:''' But there is a giant Reaper out there. I have proof...<br />
'''Turian:''' A giant...whaaaa?<br />
'''Salarian:''' Geth are tangible threats... Reapers are a myth.<br />
'''Saren:''' But I saw one he even tried to get into my mind.<br />
'''Asari:''' See, there is only proof that something has affected your mind?<br />
'''Saren:''' So, I have to bring him back and show him to you in person? Fine... }}
