Well now it's just appraent you're trolling and trying to instigate emotions but I'll already repeat what I thought I had typed.
Collectors continue to harvest terminus systems, push in deeper to other alliance held colonies.
>>>>>>>>FINISH BUILDING HUMAN REAPER<<<<<<<<<<<<<
And then >>>>>>>>>BOTH<<<<<<<<<<< attack Earth.
Humans on the planet cannot escape because you say Mass Effect 2 had no meaning. Anti-Seeker Swarm technology is never developed, humans on Earth are slowly harvested over time.
Human Reaper annihilates Earth's fleet. Just as Sovereign so passionately laid waste to the Fifth Fleet.
Or did you somehow forget about game #1? www.youtube.com/watch
Without those shields down, your humans don't stand a chance.
I'm trolling because I've spent more than thirty seconds thinking about the plot of ME2? I don't think that's how trolling works...
You say the Collectors would simply "push in deeper" into other Alliance colonies. Fine, whatever. We already know the Alliance is aware of the abductions and actively working on establishing a defense, or at least assisting the colonies in defending themselves. They were in the process of installing GARDIAN lasers on Horizon when it was attacked, and there's no reason to believe that was the only colony receiving them. We saw during the final combat sequence on Horizon that GARDIAN lasers are an effective means of damaging the Collector cruiser (as long as the targeting computers are installed correctly!), enough so that it will force them to abort their attack. The Collector ship doesn't have the defenses of a Reaper, not even close. It's mostly a science vessel. All it has going for it in combat is its main cannon, and that is extremely limited in how it can fire, being laterally oriented along the hull of the vessel. They have to turn the entire ship to aim it in different directions, much like a conventional dreadnaught. This is a fairly severe tactical weakness if they're forced to engage multiple targets, as they would if they attempted to engage Alliance forces.
The Collectors can't finish building the Space Terminator without attacking Earth. I'm pretty sure this is established to be their goal in ME2, and besides thanks to Mac Walters we have confirmation that the Space Terminator is in fact intended to be the core of a whole new Reaper. Which is fine in and of itself plotwise, but it just reinforces how the Collectors are going to need way more humans than are in the Terminus. And how long do you think humans are going to keep residing on remote colonies if the abductions continue unabated? Eventually they'd begin to flee back to defended areas, and we're back to Collectors running out of humans to juice. The Space Terminator is not the end of their science project--it's only the core of a whole new Reaper. Completing it would not lend the Collectors any tactical advantage. They still have to construct an entire 2 kilometer long ship to encase the Space Terminator in before it can be considered complete and battle-ready.
If you want to say the Collectors would just magically finish their Reaper without needing any more humans, fine. Whatever. I don't buy it though, I think it's flimsy and doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
