2. I havent figured that out yet. figured i would just camp nearby or something. maybe hope the people on the base hit the red button first. atleast the bomb is perfectly secure. i could set up another quantum link thing that would just transmit an image to a closed circuit telivision. no ability to hack anything other than a monitor screen.
Hacking isn't magic despite what the game would lead you to believe. The reapers (or anything else) can't hack anything unless code is being executed. Things like sensors do not execute code of any sort. If the only thing you're receiving over the link is sensor data then there is nothing they could send over even if they got control of the other end.
The reapers can hack any brain of any spiecies without any physical link to it. Same thing with machines. So if they don't want that bomb to go off they can override it and the people guarding it. Nothing in a reaper enviroment is perfectly secure. Actualy the reapers are very good at making things seem like they are perfectly secure when they are not. The picture on your second quantum link does not have show the truth either.
You hope that someone or something will destroy the base before it is too late. If it doesn't, well then the galaxy may pay a high price for some holy grail tech that might not even exist or be actualy usefull.
You know what would really suck? If they guys who built the base just come back and build another one. Good thing they will never come back, oh wait...
Reapers can not hack machines from range without a wireless uplink. My bomb has no wireless uplink, plus it is shielded. If they are capable of manipulating my bomb from range, then they would be gods and we would have never stopped them in game one.
Brains are open to external stimuli. They constantly have their senses open to the world, plus could even be effected directly through electromagnetic pulses and harmonics. I dont know how indoctrination works, nor do I think Bioware even has a clue beyond you hear noise, but it seems like these pulses would be the best bet. get some lead, maybe even energy shields, and you are fine.
To hack the uplink, they would first have to find the uplink, and for that to occur, they would have to be seen by my sensors. so ya, they could hack the sensors, but it would be too late. Plus the sensors would be completely invisable short of searching every single piece of scrap metal around the station. But if they did find them, and hacked them quick enough, they could send me dirty pictures and angry words, right up until they fall into my black hole.
