Thanks brah

[Dean_the_Young]

Understatement, much?

[Julie the bogan]

nice love these

[BlackDoomShadow]

So this confirms Cerberus's sudden army isn't random and is actually addressed in the game.

It was never really random. Cerberus expansion was being hinted at even in the early part of ME2. The expansion only accelerated after the end of ME2, it didn't come from nowhere.

Oh so STG and Asari Commandos are fine but a pro human group is not . maybe the alliance needs a army oh wait I forgot they don't want war only peace

I think there was actually a mission in the leaked script that has to do specifically with Cerberus recruitment. I can't say more about it without spoiling some interesting things, though.

Their expansion from ME2 to ME3 is completely unrelated to anything they've done since before ME2.

I like to think that the N7 is the human equivalent of the STG and Asari commandos, not Cerberus.

It was hinted at in Deception.

Well, Cerberus was expanding its military side in ME2, but I think its current expansion rush is more a reaction to how much Cerberus suffered during Retribution. And they may have used their role in thwarting the Collectors to make themselves look more favorable, as well.

I might be over thinking this but it might be an attempt to give some credence to information garnered from the crew of the SR2 after it was returned to Alliance control. (assuming this article takes place after Me2 and such)
Or cover their bases for when(if) the STG has to get Humans to go undercover in Cerberus to get more intel on them. (Although that depends on what alliance command did with the Cerberus crew of the SR2 Normandy when it was brought to Earth)

"A confiscated recruitment video included in the report states the Cerberus mentality plainly: “Other species may talk with us, trade with us, even live with us, but when a crisis comes, we are on our own.”

..that's actually true.

The Quarians can attest to that.

It's not always true.  For instance, the Council stepped in to stop the turians from wrecking Earth. Of course, that was a relatively low-risk situation for them to get involved with.

Propagnda's most effective when it's at least in part true.  Still doesn't change how dangerous Cerberus is (Don't get me started on those comparisons to STG just...don't)

The last thing Cerberus should want to do is expand, especially openly like this. All it does is make them a bigger target which leaves them vulnerable to their enemies.

After Retribution Cerberus should have been working to further underground and be undetectable.

Except that they're preparing for war, which requires soldiers, which requires recruitment, hence: expansion. And they lost a fair chunk of their manpower as a result of Kahlee's and Anderson's heroism/treason/meddling/temporary-insanity/whatever, so they need to do something about that, too.

I doubt they're stupid enough to let their recruitment efforts be so traceable as to actually jeopardize anything of importance. All we really know is, "Hey, Cerberus is recruiting!" Not exactly news, that. Might as well do a report on how drunk the patrons of Dark Star are tonight. That alcohol is getting dangerously intoxicating lately, have you heard?

If Cerberus got too deep into Reaper things as a result of the other side of the Omega 4 Relay post-Mass Effect 2 (ME: Invsasion shows that they got their hands on Reaper things whether or not you destroyed the collector base, and that effect on ME3 remains to be seen), then post-Retribution Cerberus and post-ME2 Cerberus are at two different levels of capability.

Also, if you want to take Deception as canon (which is a very dangerous and unwise thing to do), then you'll know there's a part in there that downplays the Retribution discoveries that Paul Grayson made by basically saying that Cerberus simply moved and shifted operations elsewhere where the data wouldn't be so damaging if it ever got released. Again, though, Deception cannot really be trusted in any capacity because.. well, it's Deception. But it's worth putting out there.
