Cerberus didn't cut it off, they coopted it! (the basis behind the "control idea")
That's why TIM implanted himself with reaper tech, so that his troops (that are made of indoctrinated civilians augmented with reaper tech) would be indoctrinated to his will (Cerberus') rather than the reapers'...
This is why he managed to obtain such an enourmous amount of fanatical troopers in such a short window of time.
He eventually probably planned to use the crucible as an amplificator to "indoctrinate" the reapers too, of course, in the end it was him that got indoctrinated through his implants, rather than him using them to indoctrinate others, which ended up making the whole point of indoctrinating his troops to Cerberus' will moot, but this proves indoctrination can exist apart from the reapers and their will.
And there is no proof of other reapers interfering with the derelict one.
Besides, others may take control of indoctrinated agents/husks, but the fact the derelict reaper was capable of indoctrinating them in the first place demonstrates they don't need to be operational to indoctrinate...
That still means someone to control it has to be there...Which is my point...All the reapers are dead, there would be no one to take control.
Maybe, but they didn't stop being indoctrinated just because they started being controlled by someone else, and it proves, like I said, that indoctrination doesn't need a reaper sustaining it to work.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's a reflex of some sort, regardless of whether a reaper works or not it will indoctrinate those surrounding it, when it comes to direction of the slaves, maybe someone is needed to coordinate them, but I doubt someone is needed to actually commit the indoctrination...
