- - - -2146735215 0 -1 - 748434 1 Wake up. - 748435 2 Why are you here? - -2146735212 3 -1 - 748437 4 The Citadel. It's my home. - 748438 5 I am the Catalyst. - 748439 6 No, the Citadel is part of me. - 748440 7 Perhaps. I control the Reapers. They are my solution. - 748441 8 The Reapers are mine. I control them. They are my solution. - 748442 9 Chaos. - -2146735205 10 -1 - 748444 11 You bring it on yourselves. - 748445 12 The created will always rebel against their creators. - 748446 13 But we found a way to stop that from happening. A way to restore order for the next cycle. - 748447 14 No. We harvest advanced civilizations, leaving the younger ones alone. - 748448 15 Just as we left your people alive the last time we were here. - 748449 16 We helped them ascend so they could make way for new life, storing the old life in Reaper form. - 748450 17 No, you can't... - 748451 18 Without us to stop it, synthetics would destroy all organics. - 748452 19 We've created this cycle so that never happens. That's the solution. - 748453 20 A construct. An intelligence designed eons ago to solve a problem. - 748454 21 I was created to bring balance. To be the catalyst for peace between organics and synthetics. - 748455 22 In as much as you are an animal. - 748456 23 Correct. - 748457 24 A species that recognized the conflict that constantly arose between synthetics and organics. - 748458 25 I calculated. I planned. I evolved new ways to prevent and mitigate the conflict. But in the end, only one solution that allowed organics and synthetics to coexist. - 748459 26 Correct again. It was they who first recognize the conflict that persists between synthetics and organics. It was they who sought the solution. - 748460 27 I was created to oversee the relations between synthetic and organic life. - 748461 28 Even still, our efforts ended in conflict. So a new solution was required. - 748462 29 Correct. - 748463 30 Yes and no. The Reapers are a synthetic representation of the ones who created us. - 748464 31 And they became the first to be harvested. Though they fought us... it was the only solution. - 748465 32 It is the only solution that maintains the balance and the directive. - 748466 33 Organics use synthetics to improve themselves. But those improvements reach their limits, until those created are allowed to evolve. - 748467 34 However, organics also desire control over their creations. Evolution requires that control be broken. - 748468 35 The result is conflict. Destruction. Chaos. - 748469 36 By harvesting organics before they can create synthetics capable of such evolution, we prevent this conflict. - 748470 37 But they do not seeking your destruction. They are simply following my instruction. - 748471 38 Harvest. Preserve. Maintain the balance. - 748472 39 The device appears to be little more than a power source. - 748473 40 However, in combination with the Citadel and the relays it is capable of releasing tremendous amounts of energy throughout the galaxy. - 748474 41 It is crude, yet, effective in design. - 748475 42 That is unknown. - 748476 43 It is inevitable that knowledge from one cycle will carry to the next. - 748477 44 The concept of the device you call the Crucible was created, though not completed several, cycles ago. - 748478 45 With each passing cycle, the plan has no doubt evolved. - 748479 46 Those who passed it on were very careful to hide it from us. We almost eradicated the concept four cycles ago, but failed. - 748480 47 I am prepared to hear your solution. - 748481 48 Have you not come to provide your own solution? - 748482 49 What you view as a war, we view as a necessity. - 748483 50 If you wish to end this, there must be a new solution. - 748484 51 They are the creators. They are the ones who requested the solution. - 748485 52 I was designed to control synthetics, and protect and preserve organic life. - 748486 53 To this day, it remains my primary purpose. - 748487 54 We required their harvesting to create the first Reaper. To enforce and enact on the solution I created. - 748488 55 The first Reaper. In this cycle, amongst your kind, it is known as Harbinger. - -2146735159 56 -1 - 748490 57 You have choice. More than you know. - 748491 58 You have choice. More than you deserve. - -2146735156 59 -1 - 748493 60 You have hope. More than you think. - 748494 61 You don't need hope. - 748495 62 The fact that you are standing here, the first organic ever, proves it. - 748496 63 But it also proves my solution won't work anymore. - 748497 64 We find a new solution. - 748498 65 That depends on you. - 748499 66 The Crucible changed me. Created new... possibilities. But I can't make them happen. - 748500 67 I know you've thought about destroying us. - 748501 68 And I won't. - 748502 69 What you came here to do. - -2146735145 70 -1 - 748504 71 You want to destroy us. - 748505 72 But we will not be the only ones who are destroyed. - 748506 73 The Crucible will not discriminate. All synthetics will be targeted. - 748507 74 Even you are partly synthetic... - 748508 75 [BAD OPTION] Your device is severely damaged. The blast it creates will be unpredictable and devastating. - 748509 76 All technology and those who rely on synthetic technology for their survival will be lost. Yourself including. - 748510 77 Your ships, weapons... the relays will all be destroyed beyond repair. Your homes will be in ruin. - 748511 78 Few organics will survive the blast. Fewer still will survive in the days to come. - 748512 79 [MEDIUM OPTION] Your Crucible device is badly damaged. The blast it creates will be unpredictable. - 748513 80 Many who rely on synthetic technology for survival will be affected. Some may even be destroyed. - 748514 81 You will certainly die. It is possible that some, further from the blast, may survive relatively unharmed. - 748515 82 [GOOD OPTION] Your Crucible device appears to be largely in tact. However, the effects of the blast will not be constrained to the Reapers. - 748516 83 Technology you rely on will be affected, though those who survive should have little difficulty repairing the damage. - 748517 84 There will still be losses, but no more than have already been lost in this conflict. - 748518 85 Impossible. You are vastly outnumbered. - 748519 86 You have sacrificed most of your resources just to reach this point. - 748520 87 You have sacrificed many of your resources just to reach this point. - 748521 88 If you do not use the Crucible, the Reapers will not be stopped. And the cycle will continue. - 748522 89 Your belief is not required. - 748523 90 Yes, but the peace won't last. - 748524 91 Soon, your children will create synthetics, and then the chaos will come back. - 748525 92 There is... though you may not like it. - 748526 93 You could instead use the energy of the Crucible to take control of the Reapers. - 748527 94 Yes, but he could never have taken control... because we already controlled him. - 748528 95 You will die. You will control us, but you will lose everything you have. - 748529 96 Your corporeal form will be disintegrated. Your... thoughts and even your memories, will continue. - 748530 97 You will no longer be organic. Your connection to your kind will be lost. - 748531 98 Though you will remain aware of their existence. - 748532 99 It is not the solution I would choose either. But I will accept it. - 748533 100 Then this discussion is over. - 748534 101 Yes. - 748535 102 There is another solution. - 748536 103 Synthesis. - 748537 104 Add your energy to the Crucible's. - 748538 105 The chain reaction will combine all synthetic and organic life into a new framework. A new... DNA. - 748539 106 There is little time left, but I will try. - 748540 107 Organics seek perfection through technology. Synthetics seek perfection through understanding. - 748541 108 The energy of the Crucible, released in this way, will alter the matrix of all organic life in the galaxy. - 748542 109 Organics will be fully integrated with technology, and synthetics. Synthetics, in turn, will finally have full understanding of organics. - 748543 110 It is the solution. One that has eluded us. Until now. - 748544 111 We have tried... a similar solution in the past. Several cycles ago. - 748545 112 But it has always failed. - 748546 113 Because the organics have been unwilling. It is not something that can be... forced. - 748547 114 You must choose it. For all of us. - 748548 115 Why not? Synthetics are already part of you. Can you imagine your life without them? - 748549 116 No more questions. Your time is at an end. - 748550 117 The cycle will end. Synthesis is the final evolution of life, but we need each other to make it happen. - 748551 118 You have a difficult decision. - 748552 119 Releasing the energy of the Crucible will end the cycle, but it will also destroy the mass relays. - -2146735095 120 -1 - 748554 121 The paths are open. - 748555 122 And you must now choose. - 748556 123 Then you will die. And you will die knowing that you failed to save everything and everyone you fought for. - -2146735091 124 -1 - -2146735090 125 -1 - 748559 126 And so the cycle continues. - 748560 127 But you have to choose. - -2146735087 128 -1 - -2146735086 129 -1 - -2146735085 130 -1 - 748564 131 The path is open. There is only one way ahead. - 748565 132 Do what you must. - 748566 133 Our future depends on you. - 748567 134 And you have no other option. - 748568 135 Or do you think you can control us? - -2146735079 136 -1 - 748570 137 You can wipe out all synthetic life if you want. - 748571 138 Including the geth. - 748572 139 And most of the technology you rely on. - 748573 140 You want to control us. - -2146735074 141 -1 - -2146735073 142 -1 - -2146735072 143 -1 - 748577 144 What? Where am I? - 748578 145 Who are you? - 748579 146 I thought the Citadel was the Catalyst. - 748580 147 I need to stop the Reapers. Do you know how I can do that? - 748581 148 Solution? To what? - -2146735066 149 -1 - -2146735065 150 -1 - -2146735064 151 -1 - -2146735063 152 -1 - 748586 153 By wiping out organic life? - -2146735061 154 -1 - 748588 155 But you killed the rest... - -2146735059 156 -1 - -2146735058 157 -1 - -2146735057 158 -1 - 748592 159 You said you're the Catalyst, but... what are you? - -2146735055 160 -1 - 748594 161 So, you're a... program? - 748595 162 But you were created... - 748596 163 By who? - -2146735051 164 -1 - -2146735050 165 -1 - 748599 166 The Leviathan's created you, didn't they? - -2146735048 167 -1 - -2146735047 168 -1 - 748602 169 The Reapers? - 748603 170 Did you create the Reapers? - -2146735044 171 -1 - 748605 172 How is it the only solution? - 748606 173 What? - -2146735041 174 -1 - -2146735040 175 -1 - -2146735039 176 -1 - 748610 177 But we are in conflict with the Reapers! Right now. - -2146735037 178 -1 - 748612 179 What do you know about the Crucible? How will it work? - -2146735035 180 -1 - -2146735034 181 -1 - 748615 182 Who designed it? - -2146735032 183 -1 - -2146735031 184 -1 - -2146735030 185 -1 - 748619 186 Why didn't you stop it? - 748620 187 If you want the cycle to continue, why even discuss this with me? - 748621 188 My solution? - 748622 189 I'm here to end the war with the Reapers. - -2146735025 190 -1 - 748624 191 Tell me what you know about the Leviathans. - -2146735023 192 -1 - -2146735022 193 -1 - 748627 194 But you turned on the Leviathans. You harvested them. - 748628 195 Who is OLD TONGUE NAME OF HARBINGER? - 748629 196 The defining characteristic of organic life is that we think for ourselves... make our own choices. - 748630 197 You take that away, and we might as well be machines just like you. - -2146735017 198 -1 - -2146735016 199 -1 - 748633 200 But you're taking away our future. Without a future, we have no hope. - 748634 201 Without hope... we might as well be machines, programmed to do what we're told. - -2146735013 202 -1 - -2146735012 203 -1 - -2146735011 204 -1 - 748638 205 So now what? - 748639 206 Yeah, but how? - 748640 207 What do you mean? - -2146735007 208 -1 - 748642 209 Make what happen? - -2146735005 210 -1 - -2146735004 211 -1 - -2146735003 212 -1 - -2146735002 213 -1 - -2146735001 214 -1 - 748648 215 If I'm going to choose this, I need to know exactly what will happen. - -2146734999 216 -1 - -2146734998 217 -1 - -2146734997 218 -1 - -2146734996 219 -1 - -2146734995 220 -1 - -2146734994 221 -1 - -2146734993 222 -1 - -2146734992 223 -1 - -2146734991 224 -1 - 748658 225 I made it this far. We'll destroy you without setting it off. - -2146734989 226 -1 - -2146734988 227 -1 - -2146734987 228 -1 - 748662 229 I don't believe you. - -2146734985 230 -1 - 748664 231 But the Reapers will be destroyed? - -2146734983 232 -1 - 748666 233 There has to be another way... - -2146734981 234 -1 - 748668 235 Huh. So... the Illusive Man was right after all. - 748669 236 But I can... - 748670 237 How can I control the Reapers if I'm dead? - -2146734977 238 -1 - -2146734976 239 -1 - 748673 240 I didn't fight this war so I could give up everything I had. - 748674 241 I don't accept it. - -2146734973 242 -1 - 748676 243 But the Reapers will obey me? - -2146734971 244 -1 - 748678 245 Yeah? - 748679 246 And that is? - -2146734968 247 -1 - 748681 248 How exactly will that work? - -2146734966 249 -1 - -2146734965 250 -1 - -2146734964 251 -1 - -2146734963 252 -1 - 748686 253 Why couldn't you do this sooner? - -2146734961 254 -1 - 748688 255 Why? - -2146734959 256 -1 - 748690 257 You're asking me to change everything... everyone. I can't make that decision.
