Maybe they dropped the Prothean character/adventure idea from the DLC plan to include it instead in the vanilla game? I mean, why would you relegate such a relevant character to the trilogy's entire storyline to DLC?
Exactly my thinking. I'm really starting to believe Bioware didnt "accidently leave it on" the CE packaging.

does anyone even know how long a prothean can live for?

Please tell me others think this is an incredibly stupid idea to add an extinct race of FIFTY THOUSAND years to the docket after their only link was a machine that was on it's last leg of energy.
The only explanation would be that Protheans live for 50k years, OR it is genetically created through a Jurassic Park style model. Both of which would be ridiculous in my view.
I can see it now. We are being invaded!
Prothean "Hello, I have been waiting for this day so I can emerge from the shadows and help you"

hey guys, i made a poll

Seems like many of the voices in the E3 demos were placeholders, I wouldn't bother trying to guess who they areFoxreaven wrote...
On a side note I believe the person who says "We need a plan to stop them!" is Captain Kirrahe, or at least another character voiced by the same actor. www.youtube.com/watch

The only reason the protheans died on Ilos was because they didn't have enough power to sustain the cryostasis.
The Citadel has enough power to sustain the keepers for thousands of years. Why couldn't a member of the prothean science team have frozen itself there? We know several parts of the Citadel are completely unexplored.

The Citadel is a no go if you are insinuating the Protheans potentially would have been housed there as the Reapers had full control/access to it when they came through. The Keepers, on the other hand, are recreated when they die off or explode from someone coming to close, neither of which is condusive to Protheans so it doesnt work the same way, at all.

Twelve prothean scientists used the conduit to travel to the Citadel after the reapers left. They are presumed to be dead, but we don't truly know their fate. They obviously had plans to warn other races, so why wouldn't they try to freeze themselves, or at least one one of them, to assist them against the reapers?
What I meant about the keepers was that the Citadel had the power to sustain the life support systems needed for the keepers, not that the Citadel somehow keeps them immortal, and it would do the same thing to a prothean.

You guys need to read this if you think a prothean squadmate is impossible.
Now then, this is very good evidence that something may/may not be up. There is certainly a Prothean find on Mars and it is certainly big news. While I agree fully that this will directly impact ME3, I still dont see any connection to any protheans being alive. We have had Prothean DNA keys from before this find. Remember EDI comparing the collector code key to the Protheans? We have had the DNA code for awhile, it would appear (Cerberus does, at least, AND Cerberus has the ability to bring people back from the dead - therefore they would be a solid choice for your to look).01/10/2011 - Scientists on Mars Assess New Chamber in Prothean Ruins
“Controversy brews tonight as scientists on Mars assess the contents of a newly opened chamber in the Prothean ruins. The opening has been a dream of exoarchaeologists for decades, delayed by the many steps necessary to replicate Prothean code keys and crack the cryptography for entry. Critics say the Milky Way Foundation, which provided supercomputers for the cryptanalysis, could hoard any Prothean discoveries. Dr. Unira T'Lam, liaison from the Citadel Committee on Paleotechnology, says she's been kept in the dark. "Foundation personnel have orchestrated a security system that keeps out everyone except a select cabal," she accuses. "Anything could be taken from inside and we'd never know." Dr. Ilsa Warren, who heads the analysis unit, dismisses the allegation. "We've made it clear all technology stays in situ throughout the cataloging and analysis process, which could take years," she says. "Dr. T'Lam's fears would be more appropriate closer to the end of the decade."”

As Vigil stated. Although hypothesized there was:
1) No resources to live on - No food/water (starvation probable/exposure more probable)
2) The Reapers cleared out the Citadel but for the Keepers. They literally took or destroyed everything. That being said it isn't exactly plausible to think that the one way trip to the middle of desolate space would have yielded any chance to deep freeze an organism for even one year, let alone FIFTY THOUSAND years. If they did, in fact, do this, wouldnt one suspect that the first races to find the Citadel would have discovered the hypo freeze room? This theory is simply far fetched as they had no resources, no food, no water, nothing to build with and were trapped on an empty space station with no way to communicate, or leave. Also, as Vigil states, there was no way to sustain or restart the population.
3) Your final theory on the keepers and them using whatever tech to "freeze" themselves is actually an interesting one and could be plausible because Vigil did in fact state where Saren could be found - the heart of the Citadel. This pretty much proves the Protheans knew the Citadel was much more than appears. However, even if there was some tech left that creates the Keepers (obviously there is), the Protheans used that tech to reprogram them to thwart the next Reaper coming. It would literally have to be a flawlessly implemented story line for any chance of a Prothean being in ME3 and I still think it is entirely in left field. The best and only way this could ever fly is if someone, somehow got a strand of original (not Collector) Prothean DNA (which we already have anyhow) and was able to recreate them. However, recreating a Prothean does not give one the knowledge of what happened so long ago, it only recreates a new body. Too bad we dont have an Animus in ME3.
Anyhow, your final point has potential but I still dont buy this theory and still think there is too much a risk in adding them by some method like freezing, etc. It just seems massively cheesy and even though I would love to know more about the Protheans, I dont think were going to be seeing this, at all.

They could have scavenged parts from the Citadel to make the cryo-pods
No one's ever found the Citadel's main control unit or where the keepers come from. Is it so hard to believe there are other things the Citadel races don't even know about, let alone haven't found?
I never suggested that the keepers could have been frozen. I said that the Citadel obviously has had the power to keep enough of an atmosphere for them to breath, keep them nourished (or charged if they're kept alive by machines), and the gravity to keep them on the floor.
