That camera distortion usually happens on ''spy movies'' and stuff like that when cameras are hacked or put on a loop, might have something to do with the N7 spy-like operative.
I really hope they don’t go the multiverse/parallel universe route. That’s such an overused and tired trope, and there’s so much they could do with just the universe we have experienced in the series. It just would feel corny in my opinion, like they’re trying to chase Marvel trends or something.
I agree that any potential multiverse storylines make me nervous, especially with BioWare’s dip in quality the past 10+ years. But if they make the use of multiverses grounded in some level of realism and use it sparingly, I can see a world where it doesn’t feel cheap or lazy. Maybe it’s something integral to the plot but is used only once or twice, and at a great cost? It could work. Or it could feel super cheap and unsatisfying, which might be the likelier outcome
@@madkabal not always. Everything Everywhere All At Once is a recent example with inspired multiverse storytelling. It’s an over-saturated conceit, like Groundhogs Day do-over stories and rogue-like video games. But that saturation doesn’t mean all multiverse, groundhogs day, and rogue-like stories are bad. I don’t blame anyone for being pessimistic in a Mass Effect sequel potentially going down that route, and I share in that pessimism. But it doesn’t automatically mean it would be one of the bad ones
To be fair, mass effect is literally full of overused tropes. Hell, it came out in the height of third person shooters in space killing aliens and robots.
Not to mention that in ME3, EDI spoke about assisting Liara in calulating whether or not the Mass Effect phenomenon occurs in other universes... Bioware, you clever bastards.
MR7 - Mass Relay 7? As an engineer, we try keep project names simple. So MR7 would be a good way to name it. Brown planet? Desert/arid biome - but look at the blue where the Exosphere boundary. Blue indicates an atmosphere dense enough to breathe. Rannoch perhaps? I also recall Matriarch Aethyta being quite vocal on not becoming reliant on existing infrastructure, but building new Relays. Can't wait for next N7 day... Great video!
Very curious whether it's simply a new mass relay. But the 'vacuum-dock' part gives me pause... Of course I have an unhinged take that the MR7 stands for multidimensional relay 7..... but of course that's crazy, so I'd run with the Occam's Razor of 'Mass Relay 7' too lmao 🙃
@@paragonseven Vacuum Dock, in this context, could have a myriad of uses in universe. As I recall, like the Citadel, people worked on the Mass Relays (Scott Ryder famously being a Rent-a-Cop for one). My wonder is - if MR7 is Mass Relay 7 - where's MR1 through MR6? And where do they go? Also, on the "Sub-Navarch" - I suspect it's a Quarian rank or brevet. Soa-Rhal has that Quarian double-barreled name ring, but the surname suggests a human partner. So my kooky theory is this is quite a bit of time after the Reaper War - likely 650 years or more - as Quarians and Humans can marry and not need Erythromycin and benedryl cocktails on hand, Geth seem somehow commonplace and integrated enough for Liara to use as a system admin for her own operational needs. MR7, if it is the 7th homebuilt Mass Relay, looks like a mega-project in itself - they could take decades each, and would need supporting infrastructure that would only exist WELL after the Reaper War and a long time rebuilding. Also, I like the Idea of Matriarch Liara - I hope she has fond memories of my not-quite-studly but endearing MaleShep but I suspect that's a long time past.
@@manzaan83 maybe they are located between both galaxies. if you watched SG atlantis, they do use multiple stargates to make a bridge between both galaxies, with a station in the middle of both.
I hope it's not time travel. It always bothered me that after introducing time travel and multiverse concept to franchises, suddenly people's death lost it's meaning and impact.
I kind of want just a little bit of time travel. I don't mind if we never see Shepard again (whether they're actually dead or just around), but if Liara is going to come back, I'd love to see my other ride or dies like Garrus and Tali, too. But we know the angara are going to be around, so the only thing to really do to accomplish both is a bit of time travel. And the seeds are already there: dark energy and Haestrom's sun. I don't want it to make anything obsolete- maybe it just happens and no one really knows why or how, just that dark energy is responsible, so they can't use this new discovery to have plot holes like "why didn't they just time travel?" but still tie the two together.
I don’t think it’s traditional time travel. More so leaning towards time dilation from Interstellar than The Time Machine. The humans could’ve created a mass relay that created a vacuum in space that bridges Andromeda and Milky Way. The Nexus and the Citadel are both giant relays, and the vacuum relay could act as a “slingshot” that could connect the two galaxies with relatively little time transpiring with traveling between them.
@@Ms_StoryDragon A Mass Relay is already doing what you propose, except for the time dilation thing. We know there are two types of Relays, primary and secondary ones. With primary ones having the ability to connect to one other Relay being thousands of light years away. Probably more, since on the galaxy map we often see the Normandy flying across the galaxy in three or four jumps. So it seems like the range of a Relay is rather determined by the energy it has availbale. A primary relay seem is able to connect thousands of tens of thousands of light years, while bveing compeltely stationary. A secondary relay is limited to a couple of hundred, maybe a thousand light years, but is therefore rotatable. If the Alliance build a Mass Relay, which is certainly within the possibilities of the Citadel races, there seems to be no limit to how far a Mass Relay can connect, if it's a stationary one. After all, the Reapers retreated back beyond the border of our galaxy by using the Citadel. Given the distance Earth has to the Citadel, the entrance vector of the Reapers, the position of the Bataran Hegemony, this a distance of several tens of thousands of light years at least. Which further indicates that provided enough power, two primary relays can connect literally anywhere. Therefore the Aliance wouldn't actually need to create such an artifical new Relay, dilating time. All they would need a sufficient power source. And that's where a black hole could be of interest, since if you harness the power of a black hole, you have a hell lot of energy at your disposal.
@@Ms_StoryDragon That is indeed traditional time travel, time dilation. Going back in time creates paradoxes or alternative timelines that are horrible from storytelling perspective. Time dilation is already well established in Mass Effect universe, and it's the only way time travel doesn't create paradoxes. It's also easy for people to grasp, because it is a phenomenon that happens in our own universe. I'm almost sure that player character and crew can travel between Milky Way and Andromeda in the upcoming game, and it may not end there. From gameplay perspective it would make sense, and now old baggage can be hauled from all established lore to the game, and oh boy would fans love it.
I think the relay connects to the Andromeda galaxy. It probably uses Geth boosting tech similar to how the Andromeda initiative scouted the Heleus Cluster.
I still hate that explanation. They captured an image, which is made from light, at speeds that exceed light.... It's just silly. Would've made more sense to say they had a highly advanced vi conduct simulations to determine what they'd look like with 98% accuracy. Which is something they used as an excuse in the books already.
@@noblesseoblige319 send particles with mass through a gigantic ME corridor made by the geth array, find some material whose particles will interact with a materials color absorbing or reflecting in a similar way as light would under these conditions and will reliably bounce back along the corridor all at well past light speed. if we can send spaceships faster than light we can send light analogues or even light faster than itself. its not like you get color shifting while in FTL transit inside your ship so light can be carried faster than its natural speed limit by mass effect
@@noblesseoblige319 Anything moving "faster than light" is just silly. It makes no difference whether it's matter or waves through matter. It all comes down to energy and "f an object ever did reach the speed of light, its mass would become infinite. And as a result, the energy required to move the object would also become infinite: an impossibility." Still, it is a trope used in all stellar sci-fi and we all just suspend our disbelief to accommodate the "dream." The geth "telescope" projected something "faster than light" and, therefore, closed the distance so the light itself did not have to travel the distance to capture the image. If ships in the ME universe can travel faster than light and if Mass Relays work, then the geth telescope is also a possibility. I have no problem with it.
@@j.m.2022 the way ftl works here is by having negative mass, enough that the increase of mass from traveling faster than light doesn't matter, thus making the energy requirements less than infinite. If there was a way to have negative mass safely, this would actually be possible. Not probable, but still possible. But this literally only works by inversing the mass of something. Photons have zero mass. There's nothing to invert. So you can't speed up or slow down light. This also falls in line with irl theories about light and ftl travel. But more importantly, it falls in line with the pretend-science from the mass effect series itself. Looking at anything involving eezo, light, mass, and speed, it all either explicitly says or indirectly implies that light and images can't be faster than light, AND that there's a cap to exactly how fast you can travel. Reapers far and away outpace anything even conceivable in terms of speed. They can use relays to move faster than literally anything else, even faster than the ARKs themselves. Even at that insane speeds, it would take five years to get to Andromeda. The telescope, however, only had a 12 hour delay. TWELVE HOURS That means that light traveled not just faster than light, faster than literally anything the REAPERS had. That's literally impossible, even by the series's standards.
Young lady, I always admire and applaud your thoroughness and dedication to the relevance and accuracy of each of these posts. They are always informative and thought-provoking, which attracted me to your channel in the first place, and to date, you have never disappointed me in that regard. Please continue the excellent work.
I think that vacuum-dock just refers to the way ships dock, like when they dock on the citadel the docking bay has an atmosphere, and when they dock in purgatory or omega the ship is still exposed to the vacuum of space. So dock 314 is probably meant for large ships like cruisers and dreadnoughts to dock since they wouldn't fit into a pressurized docking bay
Soa'Rhal sounds Quarian, and Jones is pretty certainly human, but the rank designation almost sounds Turian to me. The Turian Hierarchy, led by a Primarch, etc. Sub-navarch sounds the equivalent of a Romulan or Vulcan Sub-commander, and the "-arch" gives it a Turian vibe.
That does make sense if Green Dagger is a reference to joint military parade/operation. Name sounds Quarian and rank sounds Turian. Maybe post war the council races (probably extended with more races) have combined into an interstellar UN of sorts with their own military. Which would be interesting. Definitely agree with the take that it's Cerberus made, if anybody is building a mass relay it's the illusive man.
Navarch is Greek. It originates from Sparta and means "Leader of the Ships". So it refers to a Fleet Admiral of some sorts. Since the Turians are obviously some kind of equivalent of ancient Rome, which was heavily influenced by Greek culture, it does seem like the Turians could be involved. Although we haven't seen any Turian Admiral so far.
Theory: 1 The Relay connects to the Nexus. Think about this: The Citadel was a relay and a station. Maybe the Nexus true purpose was to be a hidden relay that the Alliance new about. Which connecting the 2 galaxies would be taboo as they wouldn't know what they could link back to the galaxy. Theory 2: There are 2 relays being built. In order for a relay to function there has to be another relay to connect to regardless. Hence the 2 relays being shown. Theory 3: Red Element Zero I am supised red element zero isn't talked about given how the Reapers static discharge is red, and the omega 4 relay is red. Maybe the negative aspects could rrsult in the S.A building stronger relays that can travel them further than before. Theory 4: The Relay actually harnesses the power of a blackhole rather than element zero. The issues with building a relay is they are limited in range. It took 3 primary relays to see into andromeda in almost realtime. If Andromeda bridges the 2 together then they need something powerful.
I like the red element zero theory, and I'd love to see how the writing team could spin that into being more than just "we wanted the Omega-4 relay to look unique." :p
@@paragonseven I'm fuzzy on the details but wasn't it a surprise that the Omega-4 relay pointed toward the galactic core? And isn't there a black hole at the core of both Andromeda and the Milky Way galaxies? The Reapers probably figured out special processing or refinement for eezo which made it visually distinct. That same processing is necessary to make mass effect relays work as you get closer to the dense core and eventually, into the black holes themselves. With some handwaving, you could say the Council Races didn't have enough time to research the Omega-4's unique properties because of the Reaper invasion. It would make sense that it's just now being figured out because there's relative peace and a TON of Reaper tech to analyze, not to mention the scientific knowledge gained from the Crucible. All that sets the stage for a method to move between the two galaxies, which we know this game is going to do anyway. Being able to travel between both is the only real way to appeal to those that like Andromeda and those that only like the original trilogy. It should be a great playground for Mass Effect fans. With us pushing eezo to its limits, you can bring back the dark matter plot teased in ME2. The Scourge and whoever deployed it against the Jardaan is also an open mystery, so there's plenty of Lovecraftian/existential horror in the background. On the smaller scale, we're still waiting to see how the larger Kett empire reacts to us wiping out part of their faction. In the MW, there's plenty of politics, military hardware, and scary reaper tech floating around to keep things interesting. And that's before you look at integrating Krogan, Geth, and Quarians into their new places in the galaxy. There's so much potential for this new game and I can't wait to see more of it.
For that section on "Andromeda's Negative Scourge", if time travel is involved, I wonder if the Alliance were the ones who created the Scourge accidentality in an attempt to reconnect with the ark ships, (or otherwise are related to the Scourge's existence) and now the seek to fix it? Plus, given the dark energy nature, maybe this also accidentality is the reason why the star Dholen was rapidly turning into a red giant in Mass Effect 2? It could be a way to return to that story line arc.
Vacuum-dock reminds me of the word "dry dock" (which is sometimes spelled dry-dock), which is a dock that can be drained of or filled with water and it is used to build, repair or maintain ships. Maybe Vacuum-dock could be an analogy to this term and refer to the place being used to build spaceships? The text could just mean "Record of the construction of the Relay at the vacuum-dock", even if that's a much more boring and mundane explanation. Also a nitpick, but having aerodynamic stabilizers on a spaceship that operates outside of the atmosphere wouldn't make sense. To me they look more like antennas of some kind. Anyway, I love your theories. It's always fun to speculate, so keep it up!
The implications of this theory are far more immense than I believe you realize. The first thought I had on the matter was “how do we know that the mysterious N7 isn’t an alternate Shepherd”, the side the reflection is on is mirrored so why assume that the shepherd behind it isn’t mirrored either? And a slightly deeper thought in this rabbit hole, “How do we know that the Systems Aliance building that relay is the SA we’re used to?” By the implication of this theory, this might not be the same relay with different art but a different (alternate universe) relay from the same angle?
I can see how this would work (and had the same thought too), but until it's confirmed AU stuff will be involved, I'd rather try to stick with (somewhat) evidence-based theories. Otherwise we could technically say that everything we see is from an AU, but there's no evidence of that, right now. Yes, the mirrored N7 reflections could imply an AU Shepard, but I like seeing at least 2-3 pieces of evidence before crafting a theory, so I'll table that thought until / unless we see more hints of that being legit.
That would be a sound theory alternate reality where the alliance is Cerberus and Cerberus is the alliance, or better way to put it in an alternate reality where the alliance is the bad guy and Cerberus is the good guy.
YOO I didn't think about voice 1 but that'd be crazy!! I'm less sure about the accuracy of "emitted probe in A" but I can't unhear the "emitted probe" part. So you might be onto something!
I love all your theories. If I see or read all hints by Gamble I smell something really cool. I hope that new Mass Effect will be little bit nostalgic but absolutely AWESOME. (I really hope so.) BTW: One little crazy idea by me. What if... Liara will be the new N7 agent. Or not. (What I know.) But... body shape of new N7 agent looks like a woman. (Or interesting slim android.)
Personally I'm hoping that if they do bring Shepard back and he/she is the protagonist or just even a supporting character it isn't going to be in a circumstance of him/her being awakened from some type of ageless cryo sleep or something similar for several years in which most of the original cast that aren't Krogan or Asari having already died or our too old to be party members leaving us to being introduced to a new cast entirely. This is because even though Shepard is iconic he/she isn't the only reason that mass effect became such a popular franchise. Now don't get me wrong I don't mind having a few new additions to the cast considering they did fine with that in ME2 and ME3 but I just feel like it won't be the same having Shepard be our main character or present with in the game without having characters like Tali, Garrus, or Joker being present as well.
This could also be old alliance footage of Cerberus building thier own mass relay smaller but just if not better. Remember Cerberus was doing and building anything that could help humanity become stronger and not as reliant on aliens. With Cerberus downfall the alliance quickly took control of it and have been building and finishing it. And that's why the date says 90 there its because there still working on it with the help of former Cerberus scientists and engineers wanting to redeem themselves while also continuing with their work like with jacob, miranda, dr cole, archer etc. What you think?
There's probably a bunch of stuff that us fans have speculated about that they never thought of and when we say it they're like "huh, yeah sure, let's roll with that" with some of their scripts
The retracing ship could very likely be a warp or time dilation drive. As seen in many scifi shows, a ship will warp to its location and The light will show up a few moments after. The ship appearing to arrive twice. It's slower movement and double appearance, along with the light shift, would fall in line with the time dilation theory. The ship headed to the ring following a single motion is a baseline, showing that the double tracing ship is the only ship being effected, likely having its own warp or time dilation drive. Obviously speculation but 🤔
that made more sense than any of her theories.. both systems alliance and cerberus being weakened and losing leadership, one could have absorbed the other or working together with cerberus under the guise of new leadership new cerberus , could even simply just be cerberus hiding in plain sight while systems alliance builds things,
I am really curious how they will incorporate Shepard into this game. It seems to me that quite some time has passed if geth return, angara join the scene, mass relays are being built, this doesn't happen within 4 years. How did Shepard survive this long without being noticed/cared for? Also it dawns on me that humanity might be the antagonist, not like Cerberus, but the entirety of humanity. Like batarians but actually powerful. Curious how'd that happen. The more gets revealed the more sceptic I become because it all points towards either multiverse or big time jump between ME3 and ME5, both of which I am *not* a fan of at all, those would be close to being deal breaker for me.
Rabbit hole thought. No one has discussed the concept of a 'Master Relay'. Every relay has to have a pair to work. The Reapers had to have a relay in dark space. If the Illusive Man found it in his pursuit of controlling the Reapers, that might explain the markings. Regardless of ending, having access to the Reapers relay would open up enormous amounts of possibilities for humans with regards to travel and influence.
314 may somehow hint at π 3.14..... How it relates to black holes and alternative physics possible in Mass Effect - dunno ;) but that's the first thing I thought about seeing 314 several times - I mean - out of all the random numbers they could've used ......
Here is one how about the rogue n7 is using the distortion to lure liara to that space station.. the video seem to be on a loop of sorts with the n7 rouge watching but i could be way off
Brilliant breakdown, Paragon. I personally believe it's a mobile relay. Imagine the advantage the Alliance would have being able to jump into a system, deploy a bunch of fighters and withdrawl quickly before anyone knew what was happening. I also think the ship on the left if the screen is an artifact from the ship on the right. They seem to cross the screen at exactly the same time. Thx for always challenging my expectations for the next game
Definitely could be a mobile relay. And I found it *very* strange that the ship on the left appeared to be mirroring the right ship...except for the random retrace anyway. Had an extremely unhinged theory as to why that could be happening...but it was too unhinged for the video lmao
If this game takes place in the 2800s, same time period as the Andromeda game, it's very likely the Milky Way narrative will be tied into the Andromeda narrative. My guess is the new 29th century relays will be able to send a ship to Andromeda much much faster than the 600 years it took the Andromeda Initiative to travel there. The Council will send more ships to Andromeda to reconnect with the Initiative and the Milky Way will get pulled into the conflict with the Kett Empire, the Benefactor's plans, and discover more about the Jardaan's goals. Liara, as a matriarch in her 700s, will probably be the only returning character from the original trilogy.
I would guess that Deepspace Dhow is the name of a ship. Dhow is an Arab sailing vessel. SAV would be the ships title (Systems Alliance Vessel). The same as HMS or USS that we use for navy ships
Hmm could be. When I searched SAV, I got back a random business term meaning "stock at valuation." So either it's another ship reference or a company on the stock market....either way it doesn't make much sense to me.
@@paragonseven I dont think "Property of Deepspace Dhow SAV" warrants too much overthinking (and here I go overthinking it, lol). Recording was clearly made from some kind of vessel, and that recording is a property of that ship, like any other asset of that ship. I am more worried about this weird combo of random words: - We have SA(Systems Alliance) acronym used, so SAV can be logically concluded as Systems Alliance Vessel/Vehicle like @Oradal said. Systems Alliance may be a multicultural establishment, but it is clearly US-based in flavour. Green Dagger is the same. - Deepspace Dhow - some long-distance spaceship named after (or classified as a reference to) an ancient type of Arab vessel - Navarch is a simplified english version of a Greek word that is essentailly means "an admiral". Greek theme is very pronounced in Asari's worldbuilding. Might be turians as well, but they are more Latin/Roman Empire-based. - Seemingly Quarian-Human name of the captain. Quarians have a Middle-Eastern inspiration. I think Bio were just trying to point out the collaboration happening between different galactic powerhouses, but ended up with a random ass alphabet soup that is kinda hilarious.
Just wanna say I love your videos and all the work and research that goes into them. I am so hyped for another ME game and love finding (non negative) videos and enjoy putting my tinfoil hat on. :)
Also am totally down for a rogue AI N7, just not as the protagonist, which should be either a new customizable human or hell bring Shepard back idc about the other endings
There's obviously a ton of reasons why they wouldn't have done this before. But thinking from a creative standpoint, you have to explain to the audience why it hasn't been done before *if* they even go with the black hole travel idea. Otherwise it's a glaring plot hole or subpar writing.
@@paragonseven Maybe they simply didn't have a mass effect core big enough to even contemplate the travel before, but after the Reaper war they have all these nice big Reaper cores lying around.
Tractor-trailer is a combination of a tractor and a trailer, not a dual function as a tractor and trailer. So I think that theory is out. Also, vertical stabilisers do not work in space. So that theory is out too.
So I think Mike Gamble using the phrase 'Most Excellent' from Bill and Ted's says a lot and has a hidden meaning. The new relay is the phone booth from the movie🤯
Intercept implies that someone has accessed a message that wasn't meant for them. So I don't think that the SA are the people who intercepted the message but the people whose message was intercepted by someone (perhaps the council). We know that Liara has previously worked for/with the SA and I believe what we are seeing is a message and video recorded by the SA with Liara and a Geth discussing the SA doing something (perhaps involving the new relay) that the council wouldn't agree with.
I think the captain of the ship is a human. Since tali was made tali zora vas normandy, this person could be a humn zhillian jones but of the ship soa rhal
@@paragonseven One more thing after watching the reveal of n7 day 2023 again, I am quite unsure as to wher th e protagonist is pointing their head, is it towards the people behind the camera or to us like you did not expect me did ya?
I don't think they will do multiverse or parallel univers or any time travelling but definitely think they way use this blackhole theory to travel to different galaxy's in the same universe also what if this rouge AI is the one you save in andromeda??? I do think the blackhole will be used just not mutiverse wise take way to much writing for
Hot take but I hope that Shepard is gone for good. I hope that this game focuses on Liara. She was still a kid in the Asari lifetime during the effects of the OG trilogy. I hope this game takes place during her Matron stage, long after the rest of the crew has passed on. Shepard was there to fight the Reapers. Regardless of what ending is made canon, that fight is done.
im wondering if that is how ryder travveled through the worm hole causing it to be 600 years in the past and the scourge is what is left over from your black hole theory.. maybe going through it causes the dark energy.. ok.. maybe not.. ahahaha
I believe vacuum-dock is just another phrase meaning space dock - a building platform in the vacuum of space to make assembly of large ships and stations possible (Larger ships and stations are difficult if not impossible to build in-atmo). The relay under construction just happens to be in the vacuum-dock. Space docks are a very common idea in science fiction, so I think it's as simple as that. You're really good at chasing threads but I think you're overanalyzing this part.
Makes sense to me. Curious why they need a space-dock in the shape of a relay though. Seems weird to me. 🤷♀️ And of course, why would Gamble focus on where the relay leads? Something is funky about this relay...can't wait to find out what its purpose is.
After watching this video I kept thinking about this and had an idea that would explain everything Liara is saying. So humans were trying to activate the 314 relay, the council does not want that. I have read all the books and comics ( has been a while) but as far as I remember, they don't tell us where the relay leads to. Maybe TIM found out and for whatever reason, he really wanted to go there. So at least in the beginning this could've been a Cerberus built thing. Ok so the idea. Maybe this is supposed to let you go to the same place as relay 314. The council would be FURIOUS, because humans are showing their DEFIANCE. As if saying " ok, we can't activate the relay, so we'll build our own to get there".
They might be tossing us around with the 314, too. The turians call the Shanxi relay "Relay 314", which is where the First Contact War / Relay 314 Incident was fought. So it is probably called that in whatever official Citadel Council "index of relays" star chart exists, and the turian military used that. So it could be Shanxi. If the colony was wiped out, it might be that Cerberus moved back in but the Alliance didn't. Retaking the planet attacked by the mean old aliens... Just using 314 randomly is clumsy. It's an awfully specific number in lore, with some inherent connotations, just like "420" or "69" would be to us now.
What if Shepard’s mind took over a Geth and it became that Geth in the picture? So Shepard does return but in Geth form. And a choice could be made where he/she can have a new body. At the same time us the player can play the game as a new character. Then given that choice to either choose to bring back Shepard completely, or continue playing with the new character. Also gives us a chance to either play as both in future games. Could be a possibility.
The ship u mention in the botton right corner flying towards the relay kind of looks like the normandy if u look closely its a similar shape plus has the 4 engines
My original thought waay back a year ago was that she was talking to Glyph, and that either Glyph found a geth body or those synthetic sounds are common to all robotic-like speech. But who knows?
ah you are forgetting one thing. remember mass effect 2 and the mission where you recruit Tali, what about Heastrum's star "Dholen". it was turning into a red dwarf earlier than it should have due to dark energy, could that somehow be tied in? it's so in the Milky Way Galaxy we HAVE something that can force dark energy into stars causing them to age faster. it was also IN Geth space when it started to age rapidly so if anyone would have records on the dark energy phenomenon it would be the Geth, and seeing how Liara is working with a Geth, just saying it DOES make sense no?
So forgive me if you’ve covered this in another video and I’ve missed it, but have you considered that the Geth language being used isn’t being used by an actual Geth, but rather the person viewing the scene of the dock below them? To put it another way, if the person who is viewing this scene is the N7 Agent, and they are the observer, what are the odds that they’re the individual speaking to Liara, and using Geth encryption to speak to Liara without being understood by outside listeners? I’m of the opinion that the reason that the Geth-speak is being used here is to obfuscate who and what Liara is speaking to - auditory obfuscation is a common tactic in trailers like this to drive up speculation, but it could also be a method being used to tell us that the person speaking to Liara is purposely disguising their true nature (which also ties to the full face mask of the Agent, a useful tool to disguise identity). It could also be a callback to David Archer, who was able to speak directly to the Geth in their own language, which he made very clear to tell us as Shepard was a more efficient and direct form of communication. Legion also mentioned the compact and efficient transfer of information via Geth language. If your theory about the Agent being an AI pans out, this could be a big clue toward that. I’m also wondering if the distortion we see is an interference pattern similar to a Moire pattern, indicating that something is happening to the viewers field of vision - as though the images being shown are slightly out of synch with one another, or a different visual range has been used, perhaps. In any event, I’m hyped for the new game so we can see what they have in store for us.
It could be possible, but I guess with seeing a geth beside Liara (assuming Gamble's liked tweet wasn't trolling), I'm leaning towards the geth-speak actually being from a geth. It could easily be someone pretending to be a geth, but Liara sounds way too familiar with the geth (how did *we* miss this?) to be fooled by something like that.
@@paragonseven hear me out for a moment: who’s to say that the N7 Observer isn’t a Geth using their body compression technology as a disguise? That Agent Long Coat isn’t exactly TOO dissimilar from the fancy get up the Geth is wearing in the promo image. And we know that malleable materials exist in the ME universe. Shapeshifting isn’t out of the question. I’ve been thinking more about that moire pattern and the way the lower left side ship seems to “come in again,” and if we are to believe that it wasn’t just an animation oversight, then the idea comes to me that the moire ripple could be a perception shift. Possibly changing the perspective of view from one reality to another? Or one potential series of events to another? If it is an interference pattern after all, it’s possible that the pre- and post- ripple imagery could present a pair of potential outcomes of the same series of events. Things to ponder I guess. 😊
Latter part of Quarian name is about the ship they live on or are deeply rooted on. And we know that Quarians at least in trilogy timeline had lots and lots of vessels that were ancient, bought from merchants, or just random scraps flowting in space, so naturally some human vessel would fit right in and quarian born on it named after the vessel. After all, we have as an example Tali'zorah vas Normandy after pigot family plays some politics and she ends up without her home ship name. Of course I'm not blind and find it strange that the name in the file we have seen has preposition ejected. But in the real world we do this all the time, same names exist without "of" or "al-" or something like that, and still have variants with the prepositions. Although I simply speculate, that the record where the name is filed is not a Quarian database anyway, and someone else who made the record simply ejected the preposition from the name, either by mistake or deliberately. We have real world examples of this even among us humans, when for example first citizen records, or rather taxation and church member lists, were made, many people would end up with little bit different official name than they wanted, because they didn't write it personally to church books.
When I heard Vacuum relay I thought it was a relay that allow travel like the Mako did from a planet to a planet in the first ME. but your parallel universe theory is interesting...
If you include black holes into these theories I am not sure what a massless ship sent into a black hole would do but since light, which is also lightless, is sent into a black hole it can't escape. Mass effect engines (which do allow FTL just way slower than relays) might help survive the black holes even without a relay though so the relay has to serve some sort of purpose beyond just sending someone faster. The problem with traveling black holes to parallel universes for me is there doesn't seem to be a way back to your original universe. The new N7 could be a Shepard from an alternate universe revived by Liara.
Dhow. I’m thinking that it is either an acronym or because it’s the name of certain types of seagoing vessels usually of one mast. Liara understanding Geth burbles. Of course The Shadow Broker’s got a Geth-speech personal translation matrix. We, the audience, do not.
I think at this point somebody should tweet Michael Gamble and say "We know you can't tell us *WHO* the protagonist for the next 'Mass Effect' is, but will we at least get a protagonist *reveal* this year?" I think that's the only thing that's really tearing up this fanbase currently (myself included 😅) 😂 I think once we know concrete, who we will be moving forward - expectations can be lower/higher and can help us with a building point for theories (which helps creators). Everybody wins that way. I just hope 'N7 day' this year is a big one. I would love to say "Bioware is so back" by the time this year ends.
Its obvious from the vacuum-dock reference that MR7 is designed to transform into Mega Maid and suck up a planet's atmosphere, just like in Space Balls. 😅 Of course, I say that in jest about a ludicrous (speed) plot line from a satirical movie, and then realize that the Marvels movie was so bereft of creativity that the writers literally stole the whole sucking the atmosphere plot from Space Balls. 😢 So, if someone from Bioware is reading this, just ignore any mention of Mega Maid, and don't pull a Marvel. That goes for time travel too!
Don't Quarians get part of their last name from the first ship that they join, captain or bring back to the flotilla? If this footage is post Reaper War then the Quarian in question likely served on a Human Vessel around that time or just after. Humans and the Systems Alliance have a tendency to name their ships after great battles or war heroes and I don't think they would be referencing something like Jonestown. So what notable Human war heroes or generals are there with the name Jones in the Mass Effect universe?
I'm one who really appreciated Mass Effect Andromeda the scenario were really good that's bummer they didn't wanted to make Andromeda part 2 to start for Ryder's crew his journey to find Jardaans to win war against Kert, and for players who unlocked files on Ryder's father on Nexus Liara T'soni was in touch with the father of Scott Ryder we have impression Earth after end of war against reapers has totaly let down what could happened to human people in Andromeda galaxy that's what we feel when you play game so if they could make a connection between by sending Shepard or Liara whatever to help all civilizations in Andromeda to settle down and why not together looking for Jardaans to win war against kert as they have rebuilted relay in Milkyway about Shepard don't know what to think as you know what happened in Mass Effect 3 officialy end not talking about MEHEM mod so there are many possibilities but connection between Earth and Andromeda would be relevant to end war in Andromeda and find civilization who is able to be kind of god by creating civilizations like Angara and let behind them Meridian, to allow all civilizations we already know in Mass Effect evolve to next level
Being able to travel through black holes in order to travel between galaxies is a cool concept and I would be ok with them going that route. All I ask is that they steer clear of the whole multiverse and parallel universe crap. It is so overdone and it removes the impact and tension of death and consequences. Your favorite character dies. No big deal just go to an alternate dimension and grab another one. I also hope they stay away from time travel. There is so much unexplored potential within the Mass Effect universe. Let's not go too crazy and cheapen everything in the process. I hope BioWare can deliver on the next Dragon Age. If not I think Mass Effect is done for.
Here’s a theory, when they remade Shepard, they took his DNA and will copy it with Miranda’s perfect DNA and boom you have Shepard again. Don’t take me serious lol. Just a random idea on how Shepard can come back
If I understand this correctly, this whole theory relies on the assumption that Bioware had the plot of the coming game all planned out decades in advance. And that is, quite frankly, unlikely.
Green dagger and deepspace dhow remind me of things like the armor companies like aramax arsenal. My thinking is these are legitimate space ship companies that work on shady stuff as well. Which is something we know happens like with the black market weapons for the citadel mission in me3. I could easily see cerberus having shady deals with these types of companies or even being a part of these companies. It could be a good way to explain how cerberus has all these dreadnoughts, shuttles, mechs, armors, and weapons outside of the idea that cerberus made them themselves. I think the quarian captian is the one that got the footage not the captain of the relay. I think the alliance knows about this cerberus relay and is hiding it from the council. I think the alliance while not working with cerberus has a vested interest in the possibility of humanity being able to create a relay.
i think the N7 is Shepards son or Daughter . when we choose thali then its Shepards and thalis chil when we choose liara then its shapards and liaras child or shepards and ashleys and our funish is to travel to the time and bring shepard back
I have so many questions. I hope this is technically a sequel after mass effect 3. But I also. Hope we get more contacts and clues about this new game.
I know this one's kinda off the deep end here, but if they did go down the multiverse rabbit hole, maybe they'll intertwine the Dead Space universe into the next ME title? An alternate universe where an ancestral Commander Shepard was combating Necromorphs after Isaac Clarke? If you think about it: the developers previously incorporated N7 themed engineer outfits for Isaac in Dead Space 3 as DLC, so maybe there's a realm of possibility there as well?
You know what else that sound sounds like, it sounds like the sounds that vehicles make in the game. You mentioned bridge, now I don't know if you know, but the flying car sound comes from a bridge in Edmonton called the humming bridge. It is quite unique in the world because of the construction materials. So what Bioware did was record the sounds of vehicles going across the bridge then digitally altered them. I used to live in Edmonton and know the bridge very well. So my thought is t g at this relay is a bridge between either two dimensions, which could be explained by the anomalies after the mass relays were destroyed/deactivated. I think that this relay is possibly trying to access the the anomaly, which I think is what the blur going across the screen. The blur ship could be a ship from the next dimension next-door dimension, and the relay could be thae doorway we need. New to your channel. Love your content and your voice. Keep up the great work.
You have done a wonderful work, but you forgot one thing, time, and how it affects other people and us when we travel from one universe to other faster then light.
