 1) EDI had behavioral blocks so that she couldn't become a rogue AI. Yet she betrayed TIM by figuring out and revealing to Shep that TIM led the team into a trap on the Collector Ship. I thought it was strange that she was allowed to do this. And if she has that kind of freedom, how effective are the behavioral blocks? And once TIM determined that she did that, shouldn't he question the programming?

2) I think I never went to the end of the conversations with EDI in any of my playthroughs, but I read in the wiki that she reveals at the end that she is based on technology gained by Sovereign's remains. So it appears that Cerberus had a large hand in the "salvaging" operations on the Citadel. There has to be an inside track for Cerberus that was existing at the Citadel. I've never read these issues discussed on this forum, have they? and what are some of the ideas on this?

they open her up remember? while getting wasted after travelling through the omega 4 relay? so she loses all restrictions after that. as far as cerberus being dodgy there is heaps on here. i for one think TIM is the real badguy in this story, the reapers are just an event and he's the real keyser soze. in the comics you find out that TIM is affected by a reaper device, one that creates husks, but instead of brainwashing him he gains some sort of knowledge about them(as well as shiny eyes). he then starts cerberus and among other things fronts a bunch of companies with really bad reps(exo geni, binary helix etc.), teams up with saren to create a krogan army, experiments on kids with biotics, unleashes the rachni queen and experiments on them, uses the thorian for experiments etc. pure evil in my books.

She is programmed to obey the crew, not TIM (at least, that is what we are told). Her blocks prevent her from revealing specified Cerbereus information, but since her "dad" never told her not to tell about the Derelict Ship, she is obliged to help Shepard in any way she can.

Also, TIM might regret now that he has not personal control over EDI, but he can't exactly get hold of the ship without pissing of Shepard.

Why yes, it has been discussed.

xxx: EDI is undoubtfully evilz, since she is part of a Reaper.
yyy: EDI is my best friend! She might be to some degree a Reaper, but hey! No one is perfect.

Personally, with Reapers being able to indoctrinate anyone, betrayal is likely to happen. Organics, AI, it doesn't matter.
