The standard ending to Mass Effect 3 caused a bit of an uproar - an online petition has since resulted in the following amendments to the Mass Effect 3 finale, and here's the updated version of the 'Destroy' ending.

00:15Wake up.
00:22What?
00:24Where am I?
00:28The Citadel.
00:30It's my home.
00:36Who are you?
00:39I am the Catalyst.
00:43I thought the Citadel was the Catalyst.
00:46No. The Citadel is part of me.
00:50I need to stop the Reapers.
00:53Do you know how I can do that?
00:56Perhaps. I control the Reapers. They are my solution.
01:06Solution? To what?
01:10Chaos.
01:14The Created will always rebel against their Creators.
01:20But we found a way to stop that from happening.
01:23A way to restore order.
01:26By wiping out organic life?
01:31No. We harvest advanced civilizations, leaving the younger ones alone.
01:38Just as we left your people alive the last time we were here.
01:42But...
01:43But you killed the rest.
01:45We helped them ascend, so they can make way for new life.
01:49Storing the old life in Reaper form.
01:52I think we'd rather keep our own form.
01:56No. You can't.
01:59Without us to stop it, synthetics would destroy all organics.
02:03We've created the cycle, so that never happens.
02:07That's the solution.
02:09But you're taking away our future.
02:12Without a future, we have no hope.
02:15Without hope, we might as well be machines.
02:19Programmed to do what we're told.
02:22You have hope. More than you think.
02:25The fact that you were standing here, the first organic ever, proves it.
02:30But it also proves my solution won't work anymore.
02:34So now what?
02:36We find a new solution.
02:39Why are you telling me this?
02:42Why help me?
02:44You have altered the variables.
02:47What do you mean?
02:49The Crucible changed me.
02:52Created new possibilities.
02:54But I can't make them happen.
02:57If there is to be a new solution, you must act.
03:02It is now in your power to destroy us.
03:15But be warned. Others will be destroyed as well.
03:20The Crucible will not discriminate.
03:22All synthetics will be targeted.
03:25Even you are partly synthetic.
03:32But the Reapers will be destroyed?
03:35Yes, but the peace won't last.
03:39Soon, your children will create synthetics, and then the chaos will come back.
03:43There has to be another way.
03:47There is.
03:49You could instead use the energy of the Crucible to seize control of the Reapers.
03:53The Crucible.
04:06So, the Elusive Man was right after all.
04:10Yes, but he could never have taken control.
04:13Because we already controlled him.
04:16But I can.
04:18You will die.
04:19You will control us, but you will lose everything you have.
04:23But the Reapers will obey me?
04:26Yes.
04:27We will be yours to control and direct as you see fit.
04:32Hmm.
04:34There is another solution.
04:39Synthesis.
04:41And that is?
04:44Add your energy to the Crucibles.
04:47The Chain Reaction will combine all synthetic and organic life into a new framework.
04:54A new DNA.
04:57I...
04:58don't know.
05:01Why not?
05:02Synthetics are already part of you.
05:04Can you imagine your life without them?
05:06And there will be peace?
05:09The cycle will end.
05:11The Reapers will cease their harvest.
05:12And the civilizations preserved in their forms will be connected to all of us.
05:18Synthesis is the final evolution of all life.
05:23The paths are open.
05:25But you have to choose.
05:30And...
05:30I don't know.
06:09I don't know.
06:38I don't know.
07:09All fleets, the Crucible is armed.
07:13Disengage and head to the rendezvous point.
07:17I repeat, disengage and get the hell out of here.
07:22Joker, listen.
