Description After about 3 weeks of working on this and having my Mac die while working on it and having my older gaming computer take up the challenge to finish the job. I finally have it done. The beginning page of Residuum is just hours after Shepard has destroyed the reapers during the battle for Earth. With nearly all technology taken out via a massive EMP from the Shockwave that shot out of the Citadel the only thing that the remaining forces of the galaxy can do is search for the living and sometimes the dead in the rubble of what was once London.

In this story which is my personal headcanon, With the entire Geth consensus in the Sol System during the battle and along with their new found true intelligence they analyzed the explosion from the Catalyst and saw the EMP effect coming. Within milliseconds of realizing this the Geth all shut themselves down entirely. Hours later after the Catalyst did what it needed to do and the Reapers destroyed most of the Geth population woke themselves up.
In this search and rescue group they have the individual known as Myriad who helps detect the living who are being crushed under the corpse of the city.

But with the Normandy and the major part of the Galaxy's fleet escaping the main part of the explosion by jumping through the Pluto Relay at the very last second. How will Earth survive the coming dark times ahead until the fleet can some how return to the Sol System?

Going off your head Canon of the Geth Shutting themselves down when the Crucible hit, in my head canon the Geth saw the destruction of Synthetic life so they store their memories into grey boxes and bury them. Once the Crucible is fired, David Archer would reconstruct the Geth framework leading to new Geth to be created inheriting the memories of their predecessor thus being Reincarnated back into the world.

His face reminds me of the main character from Deus Ex.

From what I could tell in the game they were Alliance Army soldiers.

I agree with you there, but alliance marines was the main attack force on ME3

the army remained on earth to fight off the reapers

I wish Bioware did something like this, instead of fucking us over with the endings they chose. Your ending is WAY BETTER THAN BIOWARE'S!!!!!

Pulled a Master Chief and rodeo'd a piece of Citadel down to earth. Still got burned though.

No way that would work for one how would he survive the vacuum of space?

Two did you see his armour? it had more holes in it then a grunt being shot at in freefor all.

I want to say more but i can't think of anything

Well seeing as the Citadel has its own atmosphere and how well the reapers build their tech I would think that even with parts of the Citadel fell off that for every section of the Citadel had its own atmosphere generator or something similar. The Keepers take care of those things.

You have to compromise a bit since well the ME3 ending did throw "SPACE MAGIC" in our face saying that oh if you jump into the costant beam of flowing energy that for some reason this causes organics and synthetics to meld. Something like that you'd think would excuse falling through the atmosphere of a planet.

Shepard did it once before (although he died) somehow Cerberus picked up the pieces of charred meat and regenerated him so this time around to have a big piece of reaper tech to block your fall should save face.

It is another damn impressive comic "page" you've got here, my friend! Despite all the crisp colors and details throughout the whole thing... I think the most powerful image in here would be the destroyed reaper in the first panel (the Shepard reveal is a very close second). Were this an actual comic book, I'd love to see that as the opening splash all on its own!

KHALIDSALAD [2013-04-11 03:14:39 +0000 UTC]

I knew having the geth die in the strawberry ending was some total bullshit; the alternative you provided here to their fate is completely reasonable.
Can't wait for the next one!
