Part of me wants to disregard that speech EDI gives in the Synthesis Extended Cut ending.

“I am Alive, and I am not Alone.”

EDI, I think even at the early stages of the Game you were more alive than you give yourself credit for. And you were never alone. I feel the same way about her as I do about Legion (do I sense a House alliance forming?). Despite all that talk about Synthetics being far from human and ruling out coexistence, EDI and Legion are evidence to the contrary. Those two display so much emotion throughout the ME3, especially during the fight for Rannoch: despair, heartbreak, courage, love... those two are symbols of hope that peace and coexistence was always an option.

If I haven’t said it before I’m damn well going to say it now: the Catalyst is full of S***!

“Blah, Blah, Blah, Synthetics and Organics are enemies, Blah, Blah, Blah, there’s no hope for peace, Blah, Blah, Blah, viscous cycle will continue.”

Let me tell you something Mass Effect’s answer to Joffrey, through Legion’s sacrifice the Quarian/Geth conflict was finally ended and both races highly benefited from this new alliance. And one Jeff ‘Joker’ Moreau wasn’t off-put at the idea of starting a relationship with a Synthetic. Yes they had their squabbles (see ME2), but what relationship doesn’t? And I wouldn’t be surprised if the main reason for any negative attitude towards Synthetics can be blamed on the Reapers – which I might add that little brat unleashed on everyone. The Geth and Synthetics weren’t about conflict and whipping out Organics, they just wanted peace and to be treated like equals.

So with all that considered and knowing all there is to know about EDI, you can probably assess where her House Motto came from. Even her pose has symbolic value to her feelings about Synthetic equality: her right hand looks like she’s almost ‘reaching out’ to her fellow Synthetics. That and it’s based on where she is most at home: in the Normandy cockpit with Joker. Sigil’s an obvious choice, her original chess-piece form from ME2. Stop giggling Traynor.

Of all the Throne Effect House leaders I’ve done thus far – and will do – EDI might have the most symbolic of the planet colours: white/colourless like the Moon. Anybody care to guess where that inspiration came from?

Just think, only seven left to go.
