Forum:Keepers

Hi all, finished ME3 a couple days ago, and loved it, but the last scene on the Citadel had me really freaked out. Specifically, the Keeper standing amid all those bodies, like it was just tidying up. What occurs to me, is that Citadel researchers have never been able to understand exactly what the Keepers purpose is—countless generations have made additions and modifications to live on the Citadel, and they maintain it in some capacity. When the catalyst said that the final synthesis of inorganic and organic life was the Citadel's intended purpose, it occurred to me that the Keepers' role might be simply to ensure that it is prepared to work with the crucible *regardless* of the homes, restaurants, businesses, and other modifications done by its inhabitants. I mean to suggest they were created by the same entities that created the Reapers, Citadel, Mass Relays, etc, and that the signal the Reapers used them for was not their entire purpose. Does that merit inclusion in their article? It's not addressed in the game as far as I can tell.
