Mixed emotions on extended cut, and other things. Spoilers likely in comments.

Okay, first thing's first. Yeah, I like Asari, and you know that Liara and I are... well more than just friends. That said, you really should've found something a bit more subtle. I don't chase after every blue chick. ...Just Liara.

...Yeah, I know, I'm kinda stalling. I... I guess it's nicer to have a bit more clarity... that doesn't mean I have to like it. Unless, of course, your theory of me managing to survive is right...

Clarity is one thing, but I thought most complaints weren't about clarity but rather how the 'space-magic' went against everything else previously established?

[asari_lover]

Well, there is that, but the way my mun understood it, it's not so much Joker knocking up Edi, and more of a forced state of zen or something. A bit easier to swallow, but yeah, my mun is still glad I decided to blow shit up. ...Y'know, like normal.

[Short pause.] I gotta admit, though. The fourth option was pretty damn tempting to go with.

[revived_paragon]

What, you mean shooting the stupid thing? I haven't tried that yet, but I already got spoilered on what happens.

Much as I wish I could do it myself.

[asari_lover]

No, not the destroy option. I took that the first time around. No... there's an option to reject the options. Essentially tell the 'Catalyst' to fuck off.

[revived_paragon]

Isn't that the one that automatically makes the Reapers win?

[asari_lover]

Yeah. Still... it's kind of tempting. At least Liara had the foresight to make that little archive thing so as to give the next cycle a fighting chance and keep the Reapers from getting too far in the first place.

[revived_paragon]

Something tells me discovering a crashed Constitution-class starship on some planet somewhere would have been more fitting than that Starchild nonsense.

At the very least, photon torpedoes and phasers smacking Harbinger in the face would have been a lot more satisfying.

[asari_lover]

You're telling me. I still feel cheated that I didn't get a chance to bitch-slap Harbinger.

...Of course I'm pretty sure that if Wrex has his way, there will be a Krogan ballad about me punching Harbinger into the sun while riding Kalros or something.

[revived_paragon]

At the very least, it'll make one hell of a story.

[asari_lover]

Hey, I'm Commander Shepard, and that is my favorite story on the Citadel.

[Smirk.]

[revived_paragon]

Joker did have one idea that I actually had to convince Wrex was bad, too.

Joker came up with the brilliant idea of building a cannon that fired Krogans. Wrex thought it was brilliant.

[asari_lover]

That... actually does sound brilliant. I mean, think about it, with the Genophage cured, they'll be fucking like rabbits. And even if I were a Reaper, if I saw a cloud of angry Krogans being shot at me, I'd get the hell out of dodge.

AND it would appease the rest of the council races by keeping their population down to keep another Krogan Rebellion from happening.

[revived_paragon]

No! You did not just use Joker's arguments in favor of this idea.

I swear to Christ, Mordin doesn't hear a fucking word of this. The last thing we need is him building a goddamn test model.

[asari_lover]

[Yeah just gonna sit over here cackling evilly.]

[dominion_war_graduate]

I'd just like to say I'm in complete support of phasers and photon torpedoes on the Reapers.

[asari_lover]

At this point, I wouldn't be opposed to using the Citadel and Crucible as battering rams or something.

[dominion_war_graduate]

On the bright side, in at least one game there is a Shepard who now has the assistance of a Starfleet capital ship.

[asari_lover]

Honestly, I'd kind of like to see a Geth Dreadnaught go toe-to-toe with one of those Borg Cube things.

[dominion_war_graduate]

I don't think there'd be such a thing as 'toe-to-toe' between a Geth Dreadnaught and a Borg Cube.

A Borg Cube is a cubic kilometer, with anywhere from hundreds of thousands to one or two million drones, and are designed so that one or two cubes are sufficient to assimilate planets.

[asari_lover]

In tight quarters, a handful of Primes could mow through them like a hot knife through butter. Even if the Borg have reconfiguring shields that protect against energy, the sheer force of impact those pulse cannons pack would be more than enough I'd think.

[dominion_war_graduate]

Actually, one of the primary functions of force fields in my home reality is the distribution/diffusement of kinetic impact. It's why even shuttlecraft back home have deflector shields, to prevent microparticles and small asteroids (anything less than, say, a kilogram or so of rock) from colliding with ship hulls at high velocities. Those Primes would probably have to engage the Borg in melee to stand a chance, though considering how rarely the Borg have encountered purely artificial life forms, their chances of assimilating them are guesswork at best.

No, the real thing to worry about would be contact between the Reapers and the Borg. They're alike enough as is without adding in Borg assimilation nanotech into the mix.
