Not that I think it isn't a good place to continue Mass Effect at. I'm just wondering, if the Milky Way peoples were able to build an intergalactic sleeper ship, why not first explore the satellite galaxies closest to the Milky Way, such as the Magellanic Clouds? I'm just saying our of curiosity. But I can imagine the Local Group being explored as a whole someday, if they wanted to do it.
