Femshep Geth Memories

[@DorianMichaelsIII]

These images made me actually feel *incredibly* sad for the geth (I never thought I would want to hug a machine and tell it everything was going to be okay), and it made the quarians out to be *monstrous* jackasses in their actions towards the geth; now, granted, I could understand it if the geth were making like SKYNET from the Terminator series and trying to maliciously kill every quarian they found in their path as a threat to them, I could more understand it. But even when the first geth was shut down (or had the audio turned off), was it threatening violence? No. Was it even reacting to defend itself? No. It wanted to know if it was not fulfilling the tasks its Creators were asking of it, and said that if not, it could reprogram itself, *all in the name of serving them, to the best extent of its abilities*. The geth even, for the most part at the beginning, didn't even TRY to run and/or resist termination until that one geth (heavily implied to be at least part of the gestalt being Legion is) picked up that rifle. And even when hostilities finally *did* break out into war, not all geth were hostile, as demonstrated by the geth with Megara; it even offered to *surrender itself to almost certain destruction to spare its Creator further harm, because such conflict put its Creator in danger, and the geth could not permit that*.
I got misty-eyed when Megara was killed by the explosion, and the geth kept asking what its status was, ending with "...Creator Megara?" (in a tone of a small child asking their parents' freshly slain body, "Mommy/Daddy? Please wake up.") This is all to say NOTHING of the fact that the geth *willingly let the quarians leave Rannoch*, rather than chase after them and eradicate them, like they probably could have easily done.
Yeah, real smart, quarians. Try to kill the geth for asking questions that most any organic being asks during at least one point at their existence, because they *might* rebel, they try to destroy them when they won't turn themselves off...thus spurring you to try to *kill* them all, and them taking up arms and trying to destroy you...because YOU were trying to destroy THEM. The peace between the geth and the quarians in one of the resolutions of the Rannoch situation perfectly demonstrates what probably would have happened if the quarians had decided to stop trying to actively *kill* the geth, and perhaps maybe, y'know *TRIED TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS*: when the war ended, did the geth tell the quarians, "We're still sore about the Morning War, even if this is your homeworld, get the hell out of our space!"
No. Did they even try to shoo them away from Rannoch (but not out of quarian space)?
No. Their general reaction? "Need somewhere to go? You're welcome to return to Rannoch, with us. We've even kept the place nice and tidy for you." Yep, the geth haven't *touched* Rannoch in over 300 years, leaving it as pristine as it was when the quarians left-- they've even taken to repairing the damage caused by the Morning War, and even cultivating farmland, all for the *possibility* of their Creators coming back one day (things that the geth, as machines, typically shouldn't even care about, or even possibly NEED in case of the farmland, all in hopes that one day, their Creators will come back home).

Fully agree. I cried exactly ONCE during whole ME trilogy and it was in ME2 when Legion first replayed the audio file where geth asks "do these units have a soul" only to be denounced harshly.

[@Jagg013]

the one at 4:19 was super sad.

[@ShadowAimai]

Was the Geth at 2:20 Legion? Seems to hint it was it.

[@arbiterskiss6692]

No. Legion states in game 2 its body was specifically built to operate outside the geth network, beyond the Persis Veil.
The some of the programs in that geth bot may have been downloaded into Legion, but its hard to keep track of individual programs. They share memories and become a collective We, instead of I.
