Posting this again for the newcomers to this thread. Remember, this is a war, you should think of all aspects of the game in that mindset.
What I think people are loosing sight of is that this is war. One of the most important tools in warfare is deception. Making your enemy think you are doing one thing, while you do another. Or more importantly, get your enemy to do what YOU want them to do.
Someone made the point last night that the child represents the face of everyone on Earth that Shepard cannot save, but that did not make it a "ghostly presence" as desdribed in the codex. Indeed the art book says exactly this. Why then, if the Catlyst is benevolent, did it choose the single most powerful image of failure Shepard has? They (the Reapers) want to demoarlize him the way you want to demoralize any enemy.
Indoctrination is a tool of the Reapers. It's present throughout all the games, novels, and comics. Why wouldn't they attempt to use it on Shepard? My Shepard personally has had a hand in the death of four Reapers, five if you include the proto Reaper from ME2. He destroyed the relay they were trying to use as a beach head into the galaxy. And is the single most important face in this fight. Major Coats points this out at the FOB back on earth. If the
Reapers were to succeed in getting Shepard to fall to indoctrination it would be the battle that wins the war.
Remember these points:
Saren wanted join with the reapers, "A synthesis of steel and flesh, with the strenghts of both, and the weakneses of neither."
The Illusive Man wants to control the Reapers. Says so multiple times throughout the game.
Both Saren and TIM were under the influence of the Reapers. Why then does "Catlyst Kid" portray Control and Synthesis as preferable alternatives to Destroy? He is deceiving you.
