> Mass Effect portrayed the way Commander Shepard dealt with the Reapers he met. This latest (and last) post links to Arc 8 of that story, dealing with what the remaining 20,000 Reapers did on their holiday.
>
> To recapitulate the earlier posts' description: The next ME apparently involves an N7 operating in Andromeda.
>
> Mass Effect 3 came out some time back, following which I wrote a 'rationalist' novel exploring the aftermath - posted for the canonical year and a day. It explored consequences of ME3's 'red flash' from the point of view of certain characters.
>
> As it happens, the closing lines of the last arc had survivors heading for Andromeda. So imagine my shock when the recent E3 2015 trailer, "Mass Effect: Andromeda" was issued, also showing an N7 in Andromeda, obviously not Shepard but still. Hence the excerpting of the final scene as a prologue to arc 1.
>
> The first (arc 1) was "Eternity", recapitulating the events of the Red Flash from other points of view.
> The opening chapter of the story proper is arc 2, "Queen's Gambit", followed in order by:
> arc 3 "Grave to cradle",
> arc 4 "Road to Nowhere",
> arc 5 "Somewhere over the Rainbow",
> arc 6 "Keeping faith",
> arc 7 "Way of Life", and now;
> arc 8 "King's endgame"
