Shepard was wearing two helmets. Sdrol Status: Offline. Massamo wrote Whos to say he only has one set of armor? Saving the galaxy takes a lot of protection. By Mr. Big Pimpin - Sun Mar 18, am. That sentence could be interpreted two ways.
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. But how exactly did Legion get the armor? The idea is that Legion was following Shepard and salvaged it off their corpse.
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.
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. 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.
We'll never know, but it's interesting to speculate. 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. Last edited by Craftian ; 15 Aug, pm. Originally posted by Craftian :.
While there's always the convenience of working the death in as part of the whole science fiction theme, the description probably wasn't meant to be literal. Though the Normandy's explosion ruptured the armor and Shepard would've burnt up upon re-entering the atmosphere, the few armor pieces that are available for salvage indicate that Shepard's body remained surprisingly intact, with the helmet and Legion's version of the armor being the best examples.
That doesn't necessarily mean that Shepard wasn't an absolute mess, especially considering the amount of time, credits and effort that went into the Lazarus Project. The few snippets we see prior to character customisation certainly shows some of the severe trauma that Shep endured. Tilarta View Profile View Posts. The original version of the story had Legion be the one who recovered Shepherd's body and delivered it to Cerberus for reconstruction. 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.
However, they changed that version of events and it was Liara in the comics who was chasing mercenaries that had stolen Shepherd's body, frozen it in cryostasis and were going to sell it to the Collectors. This suggests that the use of Shepard's armor was an irrational decision, which goes against the concept that every action the geth take is the result of calculation, unaffected by emotion. It is surprised to find Commander Shepard to whom it refers as Shepard-Commander alive, but assists Shepard's team against the husks roaming the dead ship.
Eventually, it is disabled by a husk while opening the way for them to reach the ship's mass effect core. Shepard decides to take the disabled geth along, and once clear of the dead Reaper, thinks about what to do with it next. The geth can be sold to Cerberus for research as intact geth are hard to come by , or kept stored under guard in the Normandy SR-2 's AI Core.
It can then be reactivated for Shepard to interrogate it. When the geth does not appear to be hostile, it expresses its wish to help Shepard's mission, at which point it will join Shepard's team. When Shepard asks the geth its name, it simply states "Geth".
Not satisfied, the Commander rephrases the question until EDI steps in and, referring to the number of programs active in the single mobile platform, quotes a passage from Mark in the New Testament — "My name is Legion: for we are many".
The geth accepts this to be an "appropriate metaphor" and is henceforth known as Legion. Legion speaks in a straightforward and laconic fashion, often answering with single words. When it uses whole sentences, their word structure is very organized. Legion regards itself not as a single being, but as a gestalt entity which must achieve consensus to act.
Legion expresses admiration for EDI, because unlike the geth, who are made up of different processes that rely on each other, EDI handles all the functions on the Normandy by herself, though Legion also questions how she manages to maintain stability.
Legion occasionally expresses its disapproval of how EDI's activities and development are shackled aboard the Normandy. Legion can, if asked, give more insight into the geth, and often expresses interest in philosophical questions. It also discusses the geth- quarian war , referring to the quarians as "creators", which is also how it addresses Tali and some quarians the squad encounters.
Legion will, if prompted by Shepard, play back an audio recording from the geth collective memory, in which an early geth haltingly asks its quarian master whether or not it has a soul, an event mentioned by Tali in Legion clarifies that this wasn't the first time a geth had asked the question, but it was the first time the question frightened the quarians.
After a while, Legion will inform Shepard that geth are actually apathetic towards organics. Those geth fighting organics are " heretics " following the Reapers or, as the geth call them, "The Old Machines". Legion will explain that the heretics are developing a virus that will turn all geth into followers of the Reapers and asks Shepard to head to an old, heretic-held quarian space station in order to destroy the virus threatening the peaceful geth.
Legion later discovers this virus could have another purpose: rewriting the hostile heretics to peacefully rejoin the geth. After both Legion's and Tali's loyalty missions are completed, a conflict arises between each other after Tali catches Legion scanning her omni-tool for information on the Flotilla to be sent back to the geth.
Legion maintains that it is merely warning the geth of the threat they face from the quarians' tests and their plans to attack the geth. If the conflict is resolved without Shepard picking sides, Legion agrees not to transmit the data back to geth while Tali thanks Legion and offers non-classified information on the Flotilla to Legion. If Shepard sides with Tali, then Shepard loses Legion's loyalty, but the Commander has the opportunity to regain it in a later conversation.
Legion returns to fight the Reapers, provided it survived Shepard's attack on the Collector base and was not sold to Cerberus. This suggests that the use of Shepard's armor was an irrational decision, which goes against the concept that every action the geth take is the result of calculation, unaffected by emotion.
