That's another story altogether - don't forget, they said this is the end of Shepard's story, they never said this was the end of Mass Effect. Which is why I laughed at all the people who assumed the galaxy was doomed prior to the EC release, because they made it quite clear some time ago that they don't want the story of Mass Effect to end here. We know they survive this story, and that's enough for me, for now. However, questions like this are like saying, "what happened to Cinderella after she married Prince Charming?" Even if there is no more Mass Effect, this story was about Shepard's fight against the Reapers, and too much "what comes next" in an Epilogue would detract from that story.
