Lurking in Mass Effect 3, maybe?

Or in one of those big DLCs.

That's my guess.

Indeed!

I hate those in-game e-mails, because you can't do nothing to them, not even respond! Your own mom ask if you are still alive, but you can't even tell her that. Total bull.

But I'm off to grab a few cold ones, keep it classy.

Got that right, it was specifically brought up in ME1 so where the hell is it?

And they tease about it in ME2!  I guess maybe ME3?

(Wong:  So you've saved the galaxy and defeated the Reapers.  What are you doing next?

Shepard:  I'm We're going to Disneyland!)

From what we know from ME2 I think the vision more is connected with truning the Protheans into Colectors than with some message.

I doubt the beacon has anything to do with the actual transformation process.  For one, the collectors are not closely related to the protheans.  The collectors are a result of cloned generation after cloned generation.  What we see in ME2, is related to the protheans only in the deep depths of their DNA.  They didn't take protheans, put them in an oven for 3 hours and have a collector pop out.

Another reason, I doubt the protheans even knew about those experiments, or that they would be the primary focus of anything anyway.  If an attacker is hell bent on destroying your race, you don't send out warnings that they're going to experiment on you as well.  Its not like the reapers would be broadcasting their findings and methods.  All experimentation probably took place nowhere where someone could see it and turn it into a warning.

Any similarities from the beacons is probably just coincidence.  It seemed to pretty clearly represent an attack to me.

I really don't think the "Prothean > Colector" process is something like
"Put a living Prothean in the water with this powder, then put it all into Microwave, wait 3 minutes and you have an instant Colector."
But I'm not able to consider all those images in the vision, where are "computer" chips and wires bounded to flesh, as a warning before Reaper attack.
I know it is absurd to expect that the Reapers would broadcast their intensions to Protheans, I'm just saying what those images remind me.

Shepard's cabin had always been an
austere, with a spartan like astetic that few others would appealing.
 Perhaps he simpy hadn't had the time to personalize it, or perhaps he
never saw the need, but it had taken another to aid some flavor to his
room aboard the Normandy.  Tali'Zorah took to the challenge with zeal
after the defeat of the Reapers, as she had renovated freely at
Shepard's bequest.  Almost nothing was left out of reach from her three
fingered hands, except the small computer Shepard kept in order to
receive and read messages aquired abroad.

Now, for the first
time, Tali stood before that computer, her hands trembling with
apprehension.  Shepard was to her right, hand upon her shoulder, but
even that friendly gesture had failed to steel her nerves.   Tali had
never imagined that a simple message would cause her such fear, but her
shaking limbs gave evidence to the fact that the closed missive upon
the screen was doing just that.  Shepard slowly began working his hands
down onto her hips, where they rested as Tali finally activated the
message.

To: Tali'Zorah, Resident of the SSV Normandy
From: The Admiralty Board, Currently Located on Rannoch

Tali'Zorah, formally of the Rayya, formally of the Neema, current Exile aboard the SSV Normandy:

This
communique is to inform you of decisions made by the Admiralty Board on
the first day of the year 2189 of the Common Era, regarding your status
as an established exile from the Migrant Fleet.

Request 1.001: Your request for a second trial in regards to your sentence of exile is hereby declined.

Request 1.002:  Your request for a permit to cross past the Perseaus Veil is hereby denied.

Request 1.003: Your request to be allowed to land on Rannoch is hereby denied.

Despite
the reservations this Board holds for your sentence, and despite your
contributions to galactic stabibilty, your actions that ultimatly
culminated aboard the Alarei four years ago cannot be forgiven.
 Precedence and standing law also compelled us to act in this manner.

We
hope that your continued existance within the confines of an
environmental suit acts as a reminder that we hold the safety of the
Quarian People in the highest regard.

---The Admiralty Board

Shepard
finished reading just as Tali did, but he hadn't had to read past the
request responses to understand what had happened.  The young quarian's
dreams of living without the suit she hated so much would never be
fulfilled.  He moved to comfort her, but Tali was already moving.  With
violent strides she traversed towards the door of his cabin, her hands
balled into fists.  "Wait, Tali..."  Shepard tried, but the quarian
kept moving until she stood within the elevator.  With a fist she
slammed the button that would decend the elevator to the Engineering
Deck, before turning to face the human. 

"No..." She began,
surprising Shepard in that her voice held no anger, no hatred.
 Instead, only an anemic despression resonated in her tone.  "I'll be
in Engineering..." 

Man Rule: When your woman goes to leave your presence due to a depressed state or anger, don't stand there, go after them.

They need you.

You know what we need to do, don't you?
Secret stealth mission.
We're sneaking Tali onto Rannoch. 

The harboring of an Exile is punishable by... exile?

Not an exile I think, they are already on Rannoch, they have enough supplies to keep prisoners again. <_<
But hell, we have Normandy's stealth systems so we can fly on Rannoch without Quarians noticing us. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/cool.png[/smilie]

I hear you about Garrus' mission, but you raise an interesting point... what would you expect Shepard to do if the same thing happened to him? What if, say, Zaeed was somehow convinced by The Illusive Man to turn rogue and kill every last person on the Normandy while Shepard was away (I'm thinking a method that wouldn't give them a chance to fight back, like nerve gas)? Do you honestly think Shepard would let anyone stop him from pulling that trigger?

I agree with you, Garrus was really suffering, and he needed Shepard to pull him out of that hole, but I just couldn't see the same thing happening if their roles were reversed. Shepard wouldn't let anything stand between him and turning the traitor into a fine red mist.

If it was me in Garrus' shoes?

I'd have tortured Sidonis to death. I'd have pulled his kneecaps out with pliers. I'd have removed the plates from his skin with an eyedropper of acid. I'd have hot-wired and melted electrodes to his nerve endings and pumped him with electricity for months on end.

But Garrus is better than that. He doesn't need to live in my shadow. I don't want him to. He has the potential to be everything I'm not. And if it was me up there with the rifle, and Garrus was the only person who survived the betrayal, I'd hope and pray he'd be there to stop me from pulling the trigger. I might hate him for it. I might break down in despair. I might put the gun to my head and try to pull the trigger, but I'd hope that he'd be there to pull it away from me, just like I did for him.

Well, if for example Miranda would betray Shepard as Sidonis did with Garrus and in the meantime Cerberus would kill all of the Normandy's crew Tali included... Neither Garrus wouldn't be able to stop Shepard from killing her. Instead of that, he would probably join to him and help him destroy the whole Cerberus.

And if it'd be like in Garrus' case, there would be no one to stop Shepard because, except for the traitor, none would survive.

It depends... Reapers seem to work based off fear,  so in that case you want to announce  you coming in veiled threats and  cryptic Visions.  I think biggest assumption a lot  of people are making is that Reapers are some kind of Military  power they're not . They are an ancient race that believes itself  to be a god.  So they would come down from the heavens with the prophets(the Indoctrinated) and the hordes of monsters  (Husk and Scions) sowing terror as planets tore themselves apart then  alter the planets star.   i think that why Haelstorms sun is staring to die,  its the beginning of the mind warfare they the use against organics.   Remember they just want to kill lifeforms  not destroy the buildings or tech, that needs to stay behind so the wave can build upon and fall into the same cycle. 

Thats why the Geth are such a lynch pin on  whole ordeal they seek there own  future.

If they wanted to destroy lifeforms then they would just seed each planet with a bacteria or germ that would destroy the amino acid chains preventing life in the first place.
They are a living entity and as such want to reproduce. They need life for that, just don't need all of it.

We're nothing more but crops to them.

Hence the name "Reaper"

They sneak attack the citadel, the controlling computer for the entire relay system thus isolating all the worlds. They then destroy each world while the remaining ones try to figure out why the relays don't work anymore.

Maybe it isn't such a stupid idea to build our own relays after all.

I don't think they consider themselves a Gods. They are just completely self-confident and sure with themselves and even arrogant. They are not machines but partly organic and partly inorganic sentient constructions, so theoreticaly they can feel emotions in some way.
Afterall, if my theory is right, each reaper is builded from millions of individuals from some race they absorbed, (That's a fact confirmed by EDI in ME2) they are not destroying races but turning them into the Reapers.
And each Reaper is millions of minds, those individuals, thinking as one.
That's why we can't understand them and things they are doing, because we are thinking as individuals not as a whole race.
But this is slightly off-topic.:innocent:

I suppose that the interval of 50k years is enough for organic races to control the Reaper technology but not enough to understand it. Reapers are self-confident but not stupid.
Protheans were close to understand it but still not enough.

Only thing I wonder is do the FTL transmissions used in the ME universe require access the relay system or not. If they do then the entire galaxy is left in the dark about the battles and what they face.

If I remember correctly, that's it exactly: A ship connects to a comm buoy, which links to other buoys which eventually leads to a mass relay then wherever the intended destination is. The Reapers had the galactic genocide game down.
