Andromeda Initiative briefings (6/6 Golden Worlds and Settlements)

Now that is far fetched...

You keep assuming that the Reapers can't make any mistakes when the games show again and again that they make them from time to time.

The crucible plan was a mistake from their part, so was the Illos researchers, so was Javik, so was the Leviathans.

Sovereign and Harbinger definitey covered their bases. 

I never said nothing went wrong, I said the Reapers were still able to overcome difficulties and win out time after time after time. That's from the game, not me. 

I didn't say they never made mistakes. But per the games, they wiped out race after race for billions of years. So, obviously, even with flaws, they were still able to achieve what they wanted at the end of each cycle. Heck, there's evidence of Reapers even being killed. Scant, but it's there. Yet they still prevailed time after time. According to the games. 

Actually the collectors are a part of this problem too.  given the Reapers had them as a backup to try and open the Relay, most likely, and then after that failed they had the ability to just fly into the Milky Way.  So three ways into our galaxy.  That was their primary objective, getting into the galaxy.  Everything else, in thier...correct minds...could have waited because no one really could have stopped them when they entered. 

This was way more interesting than the first one.

I am so here for the head engineer of the project being a female krogan!

They kinda did.

Otherwise why bother with the Alpha Relay?

That may be true, but it gave enough time for the AI project to launch

Again, that's all nonsensical since prevention of this project launch doesn't require the presence of any Reaper. 

And again, that's assuming the directors of the project would be indoctrinated.

No, even that's not necessary. There would be a wide variety of ways a project could be scuttled. Merely indoctrinate anyone funding the project. Or politicians to oppose the project. Or engineers to slip in design flaws. On and on are the options. But it's entirely plausible. Because prevention of the launch of this project would have been a high Reaper priority. 

Infinitely? Not hardly. Again, indoctrination wasn't something easily guarded against nor were any governments or organizations really even aware of the problem or took it seriously in this time period. 

No, I'm not assuming everyone in the galaxy is indoctrinated and I've never once said or implied this. What I said was it would be easy to indoctrinate a few persons and for those few persons to do a lot of damage. Indoctrination was a common technique used by the Reapers. Why are you acting like this was some difficult process for them or like they were incapable of having indoctrinated agents in place to handle various scenarios? None of this is even remotely implausible. The Reapers indoctrinated the remnants of an entire race and had them doing their bidding for 50,000 years... not even counting the Keepers.
