Ok, how's this for an out-of-nowhere twist...
What character has
been around an IFF almost continuously since the end of ME2 and throughout ME3 non-stop, has encountered Sovereign to some extent in ME1*AND* has committed a seemingly mind-boggling betrayal at the likely
climax of the trilogy in ME3 for no apparent reason?
That's right...
JOKER has been Indoctrinated!
He never leaves the ship and is constantly around EDI, who was constructed out of Reaper technology and was partially infected with a Reaper virus during ME2, as well as being around the IFF on the Normandy for ME2 and
ME3.
EDI gaining a physical body allowed for the possibility of physical seduction and gratification as the final means of
Indoctrination to break Joker during ME3 (Indoctrination may not need to be violent--see Star Trek: First Contact as an example of this theme).
EDI is the one that convinces Joker to leave Shepard on the battlefield after receiving a communication from Harbinger that Shepard was killed via laser blast at the Conduit on Earth. Joker is then fleeing the Catalyst blast to try to save EDI at EDI's prompting (she doesn't see what effect the blast has on the other Reapers, but knows the Catalyst firing can't be a good thing for the Reapers)
(For the sake of this crackpot theory, we will assume that Priority Earth squaddies appearing later on the crashed Normandy are simply a coding glitch on Bioware's part. )
As long as one Reaper (or EDI) exists on this side of a Mass Relay, more Reapers (if they exist) could be Relayed in, so EDI fleeing could be a Reaper failsafe option.
