<--SPOILER ALERT-->
The comments below contain spoilers for Mass Effect 3. But then again, if you haven't played the last game AND you still clicked on this picture's thumbnail, you're screwed anyway. LOL.
</--SPOILER ALERT-->


"I will rebuild what the many have lost. I will create a future with limitless possibilities. I will protect and sustain. I will act as guardian for the many.

And throughout it all, I will never forget. [...] I will watch over the ones who live on. Those who carry the memory of the man I once was: The man who gave up his life to become the one who could save the many."

Illustration thingy for the [extended] Control ending to Mass Effect 3, or at least how it worked for my Shepard. I didn't care much for the pre-Extended Cut version since it was a little WTF and that's what TIM tried to do are you insane have you been indoctrinated (well, as opposed to Synthesis' WTFGFODIAF), but after the DLC, it's now my favourite of the four endings. Not least because I'm getting a gleeful

"Fuck off, Catalyst, I make a better Star Child God Galactic Police than you"

kick out of it, but I kind of like the idea of Shepard dying and being reincarnated as a benevolent Big Brother- superentity with a fleet of Reapers at his bidding. :laughing: (He'd already united the krogan and turians, and struck peace between the geth and the quarians, hadn't he? Garrus, you promised him sainthood for working things out with the Reapers, and I'm claiming it).


Props go to :icontroodon80: for their huge gallery of handy Mass Effect references!


Mass Effect 3 belongs to Bioware.

Brilliant! So here he is - the Guardian Angel of the Galaxy! Or the Guardian Reaper?


My Shepard's (Infiltrator with emphasis on the engineering side, prefers clean work and strategically efficient solutions) thoughts about that... thing and the choice:
You glitchy bosh'tet! Didn't thought it will come dome to this... You admit your creators' part in the problem but can't even realize your own! You don't even understand that life without ability to change and evolve is already a dead image. Of course you don't, you slave of faulty misinterpreted directive - you never were truly alive with that in your core!
I'm not buying another "good solution" from one that designed this... Not without worthy proof and I don't think you could even gather that. But I'm not just blowing up either... not with this level collateral damage anyway. Killing an entire race of lving sentient beings? No way if there even is any acceptable option! Would it burn all the other VI-grade electronics, too? I'm not endangering lives of these brave people who brought their ships to Earth!
And once again I'm to fix all this mess...
The AI problem needs a deeper analysis, but the Geth might be the key to the solution.
Has to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Reapers, you don't deserve to just die. You deserve to be completely undone by your own tentacles!
The greatest hack in the history?
Sorry, Liara, I think I'm not going home tonight. I'll always protect you, my eternal love, I promise.
Well, Harbinger, I did promise to burn your cyberbrain out. Didn't thought it to be this way, but a viable option it is...
ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL OF THE REAPERS!!!
