If there past record's any idication I bet Me3 will reveal that Project Lazarus was actually trying to make Shepard deader.

@gamemaker1234 He was just probably just making a joke, you know?

[gamemaker1234]

@matjacks100 Thats stupid why would Ceberus do that he got spaced and like jacob said " when i saw you you were nothing but meat and tubes" plus when they find out what will Jacob and Miranda say

[matjacks100]

@gamemaker1234 I think he means the tried to destroy him more but since they're so bad at everything they ended up putting him back together.

@Gunganbuster ME2/3 Shepard is a VI.

[gamemaker1234]

@Gunganbuster That doesnt make any sense explain

@GortosXtreme Nah the "not caring about your human colonies disappearing" attitude is just the Council being arrogant jackasses what with being the overlords of the Galaxy and all. Reapers don't need indoctrination to corrupt the leaders of the galaxy to indecision, that much power alone would do that to any politician. If the Reapers could alter people on the Citadel then they would have opened the Citadel. The Citadel is not the same sort of construct as a Reaper eg: no impossible geometry.

[GortosXtreme]

@SinDawg030 But think of the derelict Reaper - Cerberus was sure there was no active indoctrination tech, but it was there, driving them crazy. I imagine something much more subtle on the Citadel, kind of like a "don't-care-switch".

[SinDawg030]

@GortosXtreme but just look at what happened to Kenson and everyone else who was working on the Project. They were all focused on blowing up the Alpha Relay in order to stop the Arrival yet they were all Indoctrinated simply by being in close proximity of an active Reaper device. Also the Cerberus troopers in Galaxy at War mode are planting things called "Indoctrination boosters" which you have to shut down. Sovereign's Indoctrination is described as a signal. The Citadel has no such device.

[GortosXtreme]

@SinDawg030 No, indoctrination usually is quite subtle, not an obedience switch. I think this might be true every time I see that Turian idiot say "Oh yes, Reapers...". We know that if the entire galaxy worked together, the Reapers could be defeated. Maybe for that not to happen, the citadel was built so its inhabitants wouldn't believe in the Reapers.
