Also earlier someone posted this from the Cerberus News Network:
01/10/2011 - Scientists on Mars Assess New Chamber in Prothean Ruins“Controversy brews tonight as scientists on Mars assess the contents of a newly opened chamber in the Prothean ruins. The opening has been a dream of exoarchaeologists for decades, delayed by the many steps necessary to replicate Prothean code keys and crack the cryptography for entry. Critics say the Milky Way Foundation, which provided supercomputers for the cryptanalysis, could hoard any Prothean discoveries. Dr. Unira T'Lam, liaison from the Citadel Committee on Paleotechnology, says she's been kept in the dark. "Foundation personnel have orchestrated a security system that keeps out everyone except a select cabal," she accuses. "Anything could be taken from inside and we'd never know." Dr. Ilsa Warren, who heads the analysis unit, dismisses the allegation. "We've made it clear all technology stays in situ throughout the cataloging and analysis process, which could take years," she says. "Dr. T'Lam's fears would be more appropriate closer to the end of the decade."”
That provides a satisfactory face-value explanation for why the Crucible plans werent found until now. But I'm still leaning heavily towards it being a Reaper trap or contingency rather than what we believe it to be. If it were a mass accelerator or something similar, we would surely be able to determine that.
*raises hand* 'twas I, resident lore nerd. And I agree it's very likely a Reaper trap. I didn't mean it as in "no it's legit, look here", rather "no they mentioned it before ME3, look here".

Not necesarily. If it as i theorize it might do, turns the Citadel into the Mass Accelerator cannon by reconfiguring the Citadel relay then it is feasible it would b impossible to know before you connect it.
But it is good point none the less as we with all those sciencetist working on the Crucible should have some idea of what it does if it in itself was the weapon. To me it is almost dead certain that the Citadel is what is really gonna determine the affect (whatever it is) as that would explian why we dont know what it will do.
The thing is the work of "countless" cycles, each one improving upon it. Think about that for a moment. The Reapers clean up thoroughly enough that new cycles don't even know the Reapers exist, there's just ruins of the previous civilization. To quote Dr. T'Soni, "It's as if something came along after the Protheans were gone and cleansed the galaxy of clues." So they're that thorough, but each and every time the plans for this omniweapon slipped by? Even though at the very least the last 2 cycles didn't even manage to get off an "OMG, there's an army of synthetic Cthuhlu's out there, don't let them take you by surprise!" scrawled in blood somewhere? No way. I positively refuse to believe that. If the Crucible
isn't a Reaper trap, I'll consider it a plot hole so massive that it has its own gravitational pull.

I like the balls(?) that asari scientist has, accusing humanity of trying to keep prothean discoveries secret.
I guess the asari would know all about keeping prothean discoveries secret, wouldnt they?
Ha! Nice catch! I can't believe I missed that the first time around.

Do we know that they're actually counting the overall scores from the weekend events and not just giving us the "right" answer each time to advance us towards our ultimate plot point of the "take back earth" multiplayer DLC?
I'm pretty sure they are counting them, but they're setting the goals to be either very easily accomplished or virtually impossible. The last few have been "seriously? that's it?" with the exception of the banshee one, which was insane.
