Perhaps the reapers waited too long this cycle. After many cycles, Commander Shepard and the other races complete the crucible, and pose a serious threat to the reaper forces with their combined military might. It is a compromise that promotes the most diversity as it allows new life to grow without having to completely destroy the old life not only is their DNA preserved, but everything about their cultures and who they are as a people. Old life is destroyed to make way for new life, except instead of the traditional life/death cycle that so many species suffer, some species achieve a version of immortality as they are integrated into the reaper collective. More reapers are created during each cycle to preserve the DNA of each species that must be destroyed. While they were not pleased with the solution the starchild created, they agreed with his determination and thus allowed him to begin the cycles the original organics were the first sentient reaper. Perhaps original race became the first reaper, to both start the process and prevent themselves from creating AIs. Reapers are created to enforce this new process. again, the same concept except it was the starchild who made the decision, not the original organics The standard time interval between reapings is approx. In order to prevent another scenario where synthetics could threaten the existence of all organic life, original organic race determines that the best course of action is to cull, or reap, advanced organic races before they reach a set technological threshold that would allow them to create AIs that could spread. Original organic race fights a war with synthetics, and just barely wins. He was created to find a solution to the problem of peace, and he determined that the reaper cycles were the only option at that time the change here is that it was in fact the starchild who declared that after consideration, there would be no peace. In any event, original organic race declares that all artificial intelligences will eventually (keyword) turn on organics after this first-hand experience. Perhaps AI was friendly and then turned hostile after a long time or perhaps it was always hostile. Possible timescale for this event is unknown. This race created artificial intelligence at least once, and found that this artificial intelligence refused to coexist. The starchild doesn't answer this directly, but it doesn't really change the matter. This race created the mass relays and citadel, however they are now gone. What follows is my original post, with any changes in bold.īroken down: -Star child is an advanced VI (not AI) created by a former transcendent race. I turned out to be surprisingly close to what I believe Bioware intended, and I hope that my breakdown of it can help everyone understand the starchild better. A while back I posted my original thoughts on what I believed to be the starchild's logic behind why the reapers did what they did.
