Nah, we have to burst the sacs so swarmers can come out and we can kill the BSN.

Or BSN is getting an upgrade. Can't think how relevant ME3 news fit together with BSN...

Your alternative is less adorable, and therefore less valid according to the scientific Principle of Adorableness.

Goes with the "We'll wait until more people have completed the game" announcement I thought
Also, I might be doing a good job of setting myself up for dissapointment.

And blue babies, I hate kids, but I'll take a couple of blue babies any day.

Whaaaat? How can hodes of tiny flesh-eating metallic abominations formed from the aborted fetuses of an egg laying insectoid alien species NOT be adorable and squidgy?


Also, listening to Black Lagoon while I do my arterisrtry for class on Monday, and thinking to myself, "I hope the ass Effect anime is as good."

Is that a typo or is there an Ass Effect anime? Because that sounds awesome.

I was gonna type something needlessly obscene about those little bugs as anal-beads, but I wont since you read my mind anyways and beat me to it >

I suppose the simplest explanation is, the Collectors knew precisely where the SR1 was, and that the stealth systems have been improved between models. At the base, they probably knew about anyone who came through the Omega-4 relay

Yeah.  That happened.  Poor Joker.  Hope he takes his meds or he is going to have some broken bones.

Or it may be, you know, Gamble doesn't want to hint to indoctrination in any way for riskt of spoiling the big reveal!
> maybe not... but yeah, that sounds like a solid enough explanation, I'd buy that it got sufficiently upgraded before ME3.

I'd imagine that the SR2's stealth systems were vastly improved.
Going through the relay can be explained by having a warning system in place for anything that crosses into the area.

I just realized the destroyer not shooting at the Normandy could be because of the Reaper IFF it has. Might appear friendly to the Reaper invasion force.

Might also explain why they're so easy to find, they basically register as a reaper when the reapers themselves know they aren't.


EDIT: Come to think of it, that's something REALLY good to ask Gamble. "Does the Normandy still have the Reaper IFF installed?"

No need to ask him. EDI mentions it one of the times you talk to her. I believe its before either the assault on TIM's base, or the assault on Earth. May be wrong about the timing, but I know for a fact she mentions it.

Can we get confirmation on this? Not that I don't beleive you.

Yes, it does.  This conversation might help us understand the Reaper IFF better since it's the current topic.  I know I found it enlightening.

Adams: ...so I'm looking at the tests for the IFF upgrade. It looks like you've got a few million duplicate encryption keys.
EDI: That is correct. I keep them in the system in case I need to restart a particular key's evolution.
Adams: The keys evolve?
EDI: Reaper interrogation signals do not simply look for a friendly transponder code, they look for a friendly intelligence.
EDI: The extra keys help me seamlessly swap in simulated intelligence identifiers from divergent synthetic origins.
Adams: I see. So we need all the copies to seem like a living Reaper.
EDI: Yes. I tried saying, "humans are dust in the stellar wind," in a very deep voice, but apparently that is no longer sufficient.

...  Let's go ahead and assume that last line was a joke.  
Anyway, I don't think Vancouver was the best example.  That was only a destroyer and it's possible that a destroyer wouldn't be able to destroy the Normandy in a single hit so it opted for the easy targets.  I think the question to ask should have been "If the Collectors could see through Normandy's stealth from long range, why was the Normandy able to get the Primarch out undetected as the councilor told us?"
Either way I think it's going to be "the writers forgot about it" rather than a realistic explanation.  The SR-1's stealth system was cutting edge a few years ago.  It was a technological breakthrough in stealth flight.  Think of it like the F-22 Raptor of Mass Effect.  The Raptor was made in the early 90's and it's still the apex predator of the skies.  Likely will be for quite a while to come too.  Big breakthroughs don't come every couple of years.  Moreover, the Reapers have over a billion years of technological advancement on ME's organic races.  The chances of them having come up with a new stealth technology that the Reapers haven't seen it and don't know how to detect is astronomically low.  The Reapers probably have more methods of enemy detection than we can imagine.
