WHY do people believe that the Collector base full of Reaper technology, which is consistantly shown to indoctrinate anyone who studies it, let alone uses it, is the key to stopping the Reapers?
Because indoctrination is the reapers greatest weapon and they ARE going to use it agaisnt you. And only an utter and complete moron would not try to counter that weapon.
You can blow the base up, but indoctrination WILL happen once tthe reapers arrive, and your own forces will start turning traitor.
So yeah - research it before it's too late. Even if you loose a bunch of poeple, it's better than the alternative
The Reapers have been using their technology for millions of years. Everything that the Citadel races utilize is based upon technology that the Reapers left for them to use, which then means that species evolve to follow the paths that they want. There have even been hints in the story that this is the better alternative - Soveriegn says that the Reapers left the mass effect technology for sapients to find and follow the paths the Reapers desire, Matriarch Aethyta got the blue laughed off her ass by the complacent leaders for suggesting designing new technologies (anything that the people shown to be hiding from the truth of the Reapers disagree with is worth listening to) and Legion says that following their path, not a predetermined one is what the geth strive to attain.
Not what it means. You people keep making the same mistake a million times.
Dependancy on mass relays for travel is what it means. So the repaers can shut down the relay network and cripple everyone. That's it.
That doesn't mean all other tech based on ME fields. and it certanly doesn't mean indoctrination technology.
