User blog comment:Awayorafk/Reaper Logic: What Bioware was TRYING to get across./@comment-4888821-20120426125757

What I want to know is why (at least in the destroy and synthesis ending) couldn't we point the citadel away from the charon relay; no one wanted to take like 2 minutes to try to move the damn thing. In these endings it shoots a giant beam at the relays to make the chain reaction occur that destroys the other ones and distributes the energy. What if we were able to point it into another random segment of space, the beam would miss and the relays would be spared while the reapers would be destroyed by the pulse sent out by the crucible in all the endings(I mean not destroyed but the pulse is universal for all the endings); we're only showed the relays getting destroyed by the pulse in the blue ending, the pulse in the other endings may not have the same effect. I just think it's funny how easy it would be to stop the relay network from being destroyed if that's true; i guess I have to give them some credit though, they weren't sure what would happen at the time. It would be really nice if the other races used a little common sense and left behind an instruction manual or something along those lines as stupid as it sounds. When attached to the catalyst it does this..., u know, try to save the mass relays or something.
