Shepard Quest Mk VI, Technological Revolution

*notices the omake is now significantly larger*

Ha! I knew it was cut off!
Turns out HR in square brackets is BBcode for 'horizontal line'.
It's a good lesson for Revy: Never disengage CASIE!
Oh I don't know, without it she was smart enough to come up with the most likely persona to provoke a snotty response before she blew them away, but not perceptive enough to realise poor, inept Conrad had dangled bait. ;)
 
You know, I have this weird thought that combining Swarm Computing with whatever comes after Advanced Neural Interface may result in some sort of Transhuman Super-Sapience thing. It would also possibly create that thing the Geth need to complete whatever it is they need to become fully sapient.

Also, yay, just got caught up.

On another note, we really should research Eternal Youth and Advanced Xenobiology soon-ish- that Salarian Scientist we recently hired is too good to lose to old age in just 20 in-game years or so.

On yet another note, god, the grammar and punctuation in a lot of these updates makes me cringe. Especially in the conversation parts- there's this thing called pacing, and it's usually controlled with periods, commas, dashes, semicolons, and the occasional ellipses. I can tell that the current GM is the sort that specializes in technical details- those such people tend to be rather less gifted with loquaciousness, or just plain description and dialogue.

That said, it's still a pretty good quest- it's just that it can be presented so much better.

...This review would probably be more helpful if I actually played Mass Effect.

The geth are already sapient. I think you're thinking of their super structure thing. That was a place to live not a way for them to improve themselves.

I was talking about that thing that the Geth member of the team needed to do to the Geth as an upgrade. That thing that transformed them from collections of programs working symbiotically into cohesive, whole beings.

...Yes, I've had much of the games spoiled for me over the years- I'm planning to borrow them from my brother once he's done with each one.

You've misunderstood what you heard I belive
is the Geth space station which is Legions loyalty mission in ME2.
Stuff happens but in the end Shep can choose to upload a virus that makes Geth reach a different solution to some equation. Since they all agree on this thing the Geth deside to stop being in seperate factions and the 'heretics' rejoin the main collective.

Naah, he's talking about the Quarian/Geth section in ME3.
 
Geth are already sapient beings if you put them in a large enough pile though. You're going to have to walk me through this one.

Not arguing that they are already sapient when there are enough of them clustered together. However, in regards to the scene described by NeoDarklight, the upload of the code at the end of the scene in ME3 allows them to attain sentience individually. So, instead of over 1K geth coming together to make "Legion", it becomes possible for a single "geth" to be sapient as to have an identity.

Here is the scene in question:

I think the core of this is that each Geth platform is only semi-sapient and reliant on networking with other platforms to achieve full sapience. Legion is special in that he was designed to operate on his own and so has advanced hardware that lets him sustain enough programs to be sapient on his own. The upgrade, made from Reaper code, would enhance the Geth programs such that each platform was independently capable of full sapience.
