Re: Alec Ryder (spoilers)

@jpcerutti1

Do you think the Ryder siblings have the same disease their mother have? We know she developed such disease by meddling with eezo, but who knows how far it could infect or if it was something strictly from her job. Given SAM was speaking privately before Alec died, it could be that he warned Alec about something else, a critical state in his son/daughter got into, and he couldn't afford the risk. Giving their task is supposed to find a cure, it would grant their survival, at the cost of Alec's life only.

    I'm pretty sure that 'incurable, fatal illness' would have been mentioned at some time.

    Maybe? I would of hoped Lexi would catch that with a workup. I'm still not clear on what is APB and what is need-to-know with SAM's lines. I tried going back and seeing if the choice of addressing (Pathfinder, your name, just a statement) helped (also with subtitles - which are sometimes titled as private) and if there is a set of rules there they don't strictly adhere to them.

    Don't know if the selective editing was Bioware intentional/sloppy or SAM intentional. I do NOT trust the hardware in my head. The original scene (post helmet) runs longer than the memory with you pitching over at the end of the memory. Intentionally blurry - but with the facial rendering issues I don't think there's any point in trying to lipread what is said. Until they choose to untangle it, it will remain a mystery wrapped in a conundrum folded into an enigma.
