User blog comment:Legionwrex/Why Destroy is the worst ending (besides refusal)./@comment-4950455-20120706082135/@comment-2228120-20120706092558

This encounter probably became one of the reasons why the devs picked "synthetic x organic" conflict as a supposed main plot for the ending, after the original concept of the dark energy was abandoned. However, if you compare this rather meaningless quest with the development of the geth conflict and EDI, plus the cases of crazy VI's, it rather seems that this attitude is sort of a "development stage" for the AIs, which, when overcome, leads to a true cooperation and understanding, based on their own choices instead of forced ones by space magic.

- If anyone wishes to discuss the topic further, I'd be most happy to do so on my or their talk page; given certain attitudes, I'm quitting participation under this blog and unfollowing.
