Would you join the Andromeda Initiative?

I don´t even know how much of our galaxy is explored in the Mass Effect universe but given the chance to partake in something so adventurous and exciting I know I would do it but I don´t really have any family. Given your current social status with family, friends and all ... would you join the Andromeda Initiative if things were set somewhen in the future?

... and you can´t bring anyone with you which means you would be leaving friends and family behind.

    Many left behind thier entire family to go - i couldn't do this. My family would need to be on board also.


    BUT many brought them, including kids, moms and multiple moms with fatal diseases. We'd wrangle them on board for you somehow. I know a Turian who can work all sorts of deals. 🙂


    If my family was going, I would go with them because I wouldn't want to be left behind. I doubt I would be the one to instigate it though! Not with my agoraphobia and panic disorder irl! 😂😂

    Also the moment a planet was decently viable I would probably step foot on it and stay there. Plenty of places to hide on a planet but once a ship or space station goes boom thats it. Lol

    Even IF I knew the Reapers were coming leaving would be a difficult concept. That's leaving behind everything, your job, friends, family, that hot girl at the coffee shop. Hell if you were military and went THERE IS NO ALLIANCE presence...NONE. So yeah..idk it's something to think about.

    Myself and a group of friends one day sat down and had a thought, "We choose universes to go to and write out our bio, essentially get to tweak some things about ourselves physically and so and so." After I got done harping on a friend for wanting us to go through Zelda...(mind you it's every game or whatever for that universe) and the TES games, I brought up Mass Effect and a few others I can't remember at this moment. Anyway I explained to them how Mass Effect Universes would be amazing to live in and such. So the ME universe was going to be last because that's the one i wanted and it was deemed the most eccentric. Anyway we started talking about it and a few of us drew up characters with backstories for the ME universe. Once I got asked about mine I told them, "I'm going to be crossing sections of lore that probably shouldn't be fecked with." So I explained to them, <Insert Name here> is a "human" Biotic adept in the systems Alliance. Hot headed etc, and then I got to the lore crossing. Was altered at birth with a combination or Turian and Krogan genes to see if something could be done about the Krogan breeding issues (genophage). Unfortunately what they did was create a master in the sense that, they gave someone human Krogan Bloodrage with the tactical mind or a Turian...and the human will. His biotics were also pretty similiar to Cora's that his emotions made them that much more intense. He was also birthed by a Krogan mother. (throws confetti for llore tearing), with several Krogan and Turian variables present in his bodily make up. "Slightly denser skin than a human, minor redundant nervous system." Dude was an experiment with a cold calculated mind and a fiery temper. Who right before the actual invasion of the Reapers goes through Vanguard training...yeah..high risk high reward for days.

    ^ now that seems broken as *, but that's how it was and we all got to do weird things...you should've seen the Asari Quarian girl one of them came up with was interesting. Anyway back on topic.

    IF I had all of that going on and everything else that I wrote down then I'm not sure really. However after the Reapers are expelled, destroyed, or whatever...I think he'd still refuse to go. If hackett gave him an order he'd probably say something regarding a quad, followed by being drugged and throw into a ship heading there AFTER the others had left. He'd probably arrive with the others roughly about the same time the Quarians did....with at least a company of Alliance and other Soliders to at LEAST have some form of a REAL fighting force, other than the Krogan.

    So it's a toss up really, depends on if the others wanted to experience ME:A and such. ALso sorry for the rambling, but thanks for the read.

    Sorry, but fail.  I think Trump came with the Nexus and the Scourge is his wall...  🙂

  • Today, with current technology and no respect for life general mentality - no. I can't cooperate with people who don't share same values with me, I'm a minority who doesn't care about prejudices and philosophy of (ab)using everything for your own gain.

    Since civilization is evolving, both mentally and technologically, in year when ME4 happens, I probably would.

    Regardless of who I'd have to leave behind.
