PART 5 - THE CHOICES
Well here we are; we've reached the point in our journey where we are presented with a final choice in which none of the past five years or 200+ hours of gameplay factor into anything. The star child has now revealed that the entire point of Mass Effect isn't about saving life, defeating this mysterious, all powerful and super intelligent race known as the reapers, uniting the galaxy, learning about the Protheans, good times with an awesome squad and an amazing cast of characters, banging space chicks, Seth Green hitting on Battlestar, or even Blasto, that lovable Hanar Spectre - nope, it's about the reapers following a failsafe program by giant cuttlefish creatures that lived...
♫ UNDER DA SEA!!!! ♫

...sorry, I got sidetracked. Sebastian signing would have made more sense that what we're getting at this point. Soooooo

Yeeeeeaaahhhh....
Greeeeaaat....

Anyway, these creatures lived under the sea on some random planet for millions and millions of years in hiding because their failsafe program backfired. The program itself? It orders machines to kill us every 50,000 years so that we don't build machines that will kill us... yeah... not even going to touch that again, let's just get on with this and get it over with...
The Crucible has changed me... added new... possibilities. You have hope. The fact that you are here, the first organic ever, proves that my solution will no longer work. We must find a new solution.
Well shiiiit, can't be hard to figure out a better plan than machines killing us to save us from other machines killing us...
I know you've thought about...
destroying us...
....
........
............
YA THINK??????
....
........
............
Be warned... the crucible will not differentiate. It will target every synthetic, including EDI and the Geth. Even you are partly synthetic...
Meh. I sort of expected something like that... oh well, I was rebuilt from scratch before so whatevs. Besides, it doesn't change things. I have a galaxy to save, no matter what the costs. Well, that and Yvonne Strahovski's booty waiting for me on the other side...
....
........
............
....
........
............
....so, unless you have a better idea, my mission was to destroy you and that's what I'm going to do. Come on, let's hear it, time's a wastin' kiddo.
Well, you could instead choose to...
control us
....
........
............
Hey asshat...?
I JUST ARGUED AGAINST THIS FOR THE PAST 40 HOURS WITH MARTIN SHEEN
The Illusive Man would have never been able to take control because we already controlled him. But you can do it!. You will die, but you will control us. The cycle will end, and all will live in peace.
LOL thats cute! You want me to trust you....?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, there is one more solution...
O RLY?
Golly gee I can't wait to hear this! /sarcasm
....
........
............
Synthesis
It is the final evolution. Add your energy to the crucible's and all that you are will be absorbed. You will die in the process, but you will rewrite the framework of all organic and synthetic life into a new DNA. It is the ideal solution.
....
........
............
That sounds like a horrible, horrible idea...
Wait, actually not a faceplam...
....
........
............
Yup...that about sums it up. You know Harby, for as long as you've been around, you kinda suck at this indoctrination thingy.
Meh. The choice is yours!
