So one possibility is that Legion removed the armor during the recovery process and kept it around for sentimental reasons, even if they didn't comprehend why they were doing so. The original version of the story had Legion be the one who recovered Shepherd's body and delivered it to Cerberus for reconstruction. I suppose I should start reading the comics, as I do have access to them.Īlso, if Shepard's armor survived, why would Shepard be "meat and tubes"? I mean, if the armor survived, why wouldn't Shepard? He was IN the armor. The armor itself - though damaged - would've survived the explosion and re-entering the atmosphere, since the option to later recover the helmet and dogtags is available. We'll never know, but it's interesting to speculate. Originally posted by Craftian:"No data available." Who knew synthetics could be shy?

But since Legion is such a rarity in the context of the series, it may be that this sense of individuality is unique to the platform alone. How this ties in to the canon surrounding Liara and Feron recovering Shepard's corpse from the Shadow Broker, I can't answer as I haven't read the comics.

Since we already know that the Council sent the SR1 to clear the remnants of Saren's forces at the beginning of the game, it would seem that the Geth may have witnessed the SR1's destruction and, considering Legion's interest, would've recognised the cultural significance of the armor.

The idea is that Legion was following Shepard and salvaged it off their corpse. However, the implication is that the Geth, specifically the platform/consensus that we know as Legion, have begun to "evolve" and express emotion namely admiration and respect for the Shepard-Commander.īut how exactly did Legion get the armor? In all seriousness though, Legion is quite evasive when Shepard tries to find out, even after repeatedly asking, and we're never really given an answer. "No data available." Who knew synthetics could be shy?
