No. There is even less sense in the Reapers trying to indoctrinate Shepard at that moment than anything I have seen.
Why why why in the heavens would the Reapers want to do that? Harbinger just wanna rub it in? Harbinger has nothing better to do?
Edit: -possible spoiler removed-
Last gasp effort. If the theory is even remotely accurate, and consistent with all other instances of indoctrination, it takes time so set up. Everyone has shown extensive time where the indoctrination is taking hold with journal entries and other records showing increasingly erratic mental faculties and behavior.
I'm not saying that absolves all sins, but it's been shown that indoctrination is not a lightswitch.
Exactly you need to foreshadow and do so in away that your audience is suspicious and can be lead in that way for instance some think arrival could be the beginning of shep being indoctrinated because para shep doesn't try again to contact the colony and will still blow up the relay, you were out cold next to a reaper artifact for 2 days a mind at rest can soak up tons of info maybe even a weeks worth of introduced info and it will not reject it, shep also assumes the relay in the vision is Rho but no one can be sure of this he only takes crazy Kensen's word, notice how she's all upset that the reapers aren't talking to her anymore though they clearly can?
Beyond the oddity that arrival brings up shep seeing the kid isn't a hallucination just because no one on the docks is paying attention to him doesn't mean he isn't there because it's chaotic whose going to notice a kid?
The dream sequences aren't made to say this is an indoctrination dream it can vary easily be taken as shep's guilt and as it keep progressing it's still his guilt.
What indoctrinated people say is happening:
They keep dreaming horrible dreams of all their loved ones and friends dying (shep doesn't do this only dreams about the boy who died and his friends who died no one alive haunts him or gets destroyed)
Seeing shadows while awake (nope he doesn't do that)
Hearing voices outside of dreams ie hearing it in their heads (nope he doesn't do that)
shared memories (nope he hasn't experienced that)
head aches (nope)
Those stuck near artifacts claim they feel buzzing and humming noises (nope he's never complied on that)
feelings of being called somewhere to do something, "Why did you return to the consort so and so?" " I don't know, I just felt called." (nope he's never expressed this)
The closer one is to a reaper the stronger the pains above are (nope he's fine)
They feel very very aggressive towards people who try to destroy reapers and or their artifacts (shep destroys them with no problems on a routine bases)
Victims are aware they're being changed (shep's made no inclinations here either)
Shep is not displaying anything related to indoctrination from the first hand accounts we know to exist. The only thing shep does say is after he comes back from Rho he no longer experiences dreams from the beacons which means his mind is more or less quite on that front but indoctrination victims report constant mental chaos. So if shep suddenly is revealed to be a high tech thrawl then that's going to really throw alot of people more so then the Horizion incident.
