here are my interpretations to your unanswered questions: Why did the british lieutenant abandon Shepherd and say the Hammer team was decimated? -Because he didn't realize anyone had made it up to the citadel until Shepard opened the citadel arms

Anderson said he followed Shepherd up, why didn't anyone else follow? -They were the only two who made it past the reaper lasers to the citadel beam, when all the other soldiers witnessed Shepard "die" they retreated due to the loss of their hero (if Shepard can't do it, what hope do I have?)

Where does Shepherd's squad go after he is hit by the Reaper blast? How do they get back to the Normandy? -I didn't notice any of them running with me towards the beam, leading me to believe they were behind Shepard and survived the blast from the reaper beam that knocked Shepard unconscious. Just like the british lieutenant, they thought he died and begun retreating when they realized their hero had died (remember how important the lieutenant said Shepard was to the moral of his men?)

Why was the Normandy travelling (away?) from earth? -No reference was made to how far away from earth it was or how far it was blasted away when it exploded (who says it has to be in the general vicinity of where it exploded? the effects on the ship when it was running were characteristic of a ship traveling under the effects of a mass relay) And they probably started to run when the citadel opened up. "This is the biggest plot hole IMO"

What happened to the Normandy crew? -you must not have gotten the same ending I did, because their fate was incredibly clear cut in my ending (perfect-destruction).

What happened at earth after the reapers were destroyed/controlled/combined? What happened to the mIllions of people stranded at earthfrom the final battle? -They began to recover and rebuild (unless they were all vaporized)
