Fair enough, though I personally expect so much chaos after the Reapers that disolving the Council won't be that big of a deal in any case.Xilizhra wrote...

Regardless. I would love to reform the Council politically, because I feel it's too big to simply smash without causing unacceptable chaos. Cerberus lacks this, which is why I would like to simply destroy it altogether.
Also, the Council seems to be a much more effective platform for introducing my master plan to dissolve monospecies governments and organizations. Cerberus is inherently divisive, and being in my own backyard, it's relatively easy to stop.SandTrout wrote...

We'll see how it turns out, I guess.
Hah, good luck with that. A plan that flies in the face of simple biology can only fail.Xilizhra wrote...

Only one Cerberus Op I can think of (overlord) presented a galaxy-wide threat.Xilizhra wrote...
The second is that so far, only one Spectre has tried to destroy the galaxy, as compared to the whole of Cerberus apparently being in on that gig.
We'll argue about this insane plan after the Reapers have been dealt with.Xilizhra wrote...

Not all of them. Health organizations and the like would need to stay that way. I was more referring to political ones.marshalleck wrote...

So here they are, the Spectres.
They are called when failure is not an option
They do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Occasionally, one crosses a line too many - and nobody cares as long as it stays secret and the Council's interests don't suffer.
Doesn't sound too different from Cerberus to me. Except that the Spectres don't set their own policy. That doesn't make a great deal of difference for their victims though. They might as well be terrorists. The difference between secret police and terrorist is a matter of where you stand.
So why are people proud to be Spectres but hate Cerberus? In fact, it's because Cerberus' evil is pushed into our faces at every turn while the Spectres' remains mostly in the background, except for that little thing at the Dracon Trade Center. So the difference is...propaganda.
Spectres are above the law. Can anyone really believe they don't occasionally cross a moral event horizon like Cerberus did on Pragia? I don't believe that for a second. Given what the Council did to the quarians, I find it very plausible they wouldn't care overmuch if things were kept suitably secret.
There is no way any species would allow its planetary/homeworld government to be dissolved.Xilizhra wrote...

Of-course they did. The Council didn't want a war and for all they knew at that point humanity was bigger than the turians were.

You are thinking so mundanely, Xilizhra. The future is the entire galaxy wired together as one great mind. After I've subdued the galaxy I'll disseminate nano-Reaper technology throughout the entire galaxy and use it to link us all together. It will be the dawn of a new age.

@Marshalleck & Xilizhra,
You two are getting pretty far off topic.

Who called the Hierarchy democratic? Just because an appointed representative to the Council may answer to the government back home doesn't mean that government itself is a democracy.SandTrout wrote...
Also, the Hierarchy is anything but democratic. It is actually more akin to a fascist governmental structure.

Then they're autocrats. Although I find it hard to believe that each Council member is not at least, in part, accountable to the individual species each represents. Or at the very least, each species who has a seat on the council has some leverage over its respective Councilor member.

I'm sure that's the case. However as long as that Councilor acts in their species' interest the native government has no need to press on them. The Council is a sovereign government, after all.
