If you didnt find it like uh...j didn't even after playing me1 a few times heres a video so you know what im talking about

Something about all the non main mission planets you visit being so empty and devoid of life in most places. Idk its kind of intimidating (when youre not raging at the mako because it wont let you go up a 90 degree angle like me <3<3<3) plus the fact that this specific sphere is so out of the way right on the edge of the map.

Which like, something about obvious out of bounds places in games is really unnerving to me like im not sure if i can explain it right but i dont find it frustrating its actually really fascinating to be like okay why is this blocked off what are the in universe reasons. And something about seeing a wide open space thats just unavailable is so unnerving idk especially depending on what the game tries to tell you to get you away from there. Its almost like a forbidden kind of zone you know? In game? Idk im rambling but something about it because so alien close to something thats a forbidden zone idk it helps shhsjskskxhsk

And the sphere itself is so weird its liquid suspended in animation and it floats and its still operational after like thousands of years and AUGHHH its so cool and mysterious and weird. Especially because like in game development making unique assets costs resources obviously. Which is why all the side quest maps are repetitive but the main mission maps arent but this is a unique asset (would later be reused but that's beside the point for now i havent gotten there shshjsks) that most people would never even find? Like they really wanted this in here and thats just neat someone really wanted to make sure this lore got into the game and got into it this way

God like also the fact i didnt know this existed and i just found it and augghhh idk it was a nice discovery it rly helped with the exploring the universe part of mass effect you know? And like humanity being new to the galaxy BUT ALSO no one having knowledge of the proteans really and ahhhh the lore its so cool and the way its written is perfect and ominous and auvvvhdushhxsuwoshakz LORE

God the writing is just so ominous between it being another vision, shepard being like im fine no one talk to me haha not really tho someone please, the implications that other aliens were watching humanity (which comes back up), the reapers being mentioned in this message (before the audience knows theyre sentient probably and not just sarens ship) and that they wipe out anything and everything and take no chances and thats where the message ends AUGHHHH ITS SO GOOD
