Tantalus Drive Core and Quantum Entanglement Communicator - could these be Reaper tech? The drive core even looks and sounds like a Reaper...

You've been working for the reapers entire Mass Effect 3 - uniting the galaxy, and bringing it all to earth .

I recall thinking a lot of the ambient sounds on the Normandy felt very out of place - kept wondering if somebody was secretly running a restaurant business on some hidden floor.

Consider me impressed. This has been a productive day so far!

Illusive Man is a reaper. Think about it! He only communicates through QEC. With everyone. (and before you point out the vids on the cronos station - those are vids - they could have been fabricated. You could have imagined seeing them, being so close to a reaper, which we know there is at cronos station)

Miranda saw him face to face.

Either of them could have been a hologram. Or both of them. She didn't know where his base is.

Besides, Miranda herself is artificial. She is a clone. A perfect human. Just as grunt is a perfect krogan. For all we know, everysingle phantom or nemesis has miranda's face.  (ecept the one that jack could become)

Honestly, whether TIM is actually a Reaper or not, the theme of competing superpowers is pretty interesting here... Shepard is very similar to a Reaper for a whole bunch of reasons. Perhaps there is another game going on here. Shepard isn't so much a threat as a worthy adversary.

everytime you speak through the QEC you're actually speaking with a reaper. Each person speaking on the QEC
is speaking with a reaper. And while you do - they indoctrinate you. You didn't speak to Hackett or Anderson on the Normandy. Yuo wer speaking to the reaper. Only time you saw the real Hackett is when he boarded the Normandy. Only time you saw the real Anderson is in Vancouver and London. Before you ask how did Anderson and Hacket know about the contents of your conversation, then - it's because they were also speaking to the same reaper over the QEC that was impersonating you, The reaper actet as a telephone hub! All the calls go through him!! And he can choose what each of the participants gets out of the conversation. Hell, they can probably do that at real time, having both conversations at once. ))

Bioware isn't the first to do this sort of thing. There are other writers from movies or books who left out certain details to their stories and people just assumed things. A guy by the name of Alfred hitchcock has been known to do this. It's known as engaging the audience. Some feel the audience is more involved and invested in the story if they participate a bit rather than just being told every single detail.

The only thing introduced into the narrative after the free demo is the crucible.

And we still have no idea what it does in IT.


Also, comparing a book or movie to a series over a hundred hours long and half a decade in the making is ridiculous to me.

We are also not watching what happens to a protagonist. We guiding a protagonist who we feel a sense of ownership over. It's a lot more personal.

I remember. I'm jusr reapeating it. This thread is going in circles, and some ideas only start to make sense for some.

Oh.  My.  God.  And there is a datapad where someone says, everyone who goes in there something something, right, and it gets more muddled, until the calm but at the end, where they say,

"won't go in there.  Know what to do"

or something...

holy moly...

I might have to play P:E again... even though I never normally do that...

It's not a war any more.  It's an investigation, a puzzle, a mystery

Davik Kang - step forward.
It is the decision of the thread's board that you be granted all the powers and privileges of the Indoctrination Theorists branch of the BSN.
ITers are not trained, but chosen individuals forged in the fire of service and analysis; those whose actions elevate them above average and naifs.
ITers are an ideal, a symbol. The embodiment of resilience, determination and self-reliance. They are the right hand of the BSN, instruments of BioWare's will.
ITers bare a great burden. They are protectors of galactic lore, both BioWare's first and last line of defense. The consistency of the lore is theirs to uphold.

Edit: Just for you Home Run (link), note Tevos' nod.

It is nice that you guys started to catch up finally. 

We're still speculating.  Petulant digs at everyone and presumtions of correctness aren't going to win you any allies here.

No kidding. Demersel doesn't have facts. I wish you guys would stop encouraging his "Conspiracy Keanu"-worthy crap.

Thank you sir.  I'll be your weapon of war.  Just point me in the right direction.

Ok. Explain to me this - QEC is point ot point. It means there are two devices and they only can communicate to each other. It is a system that was installed on the normandy by the illusive man, as your direct link to him and him only - and that is why it made sense. Now. In ME3 you can call multiple places from it. Both Hackett and Anderson. Later in FOB they use the QEC device to contact all of your squad. How does that work? (if you're not always speaking to the same entity through it, that is.)

And here with personal insults. 

[Restrider]

Let demersel brainstorm a bit. There is no harm in that. It could provide us with a new perspective.
I will reserve my judgement though.

Well, I'm guessing that the QEC on the Normandy can be explained by the refits.  They probably connected it to several QECs on Earth, Hackett's location, etc.  However, the QEC on Earth...  That I don't know about.  Of course, I support WNT, so that could explain it.

You will reserve judgement on "TIM is a Reaper!!!"?
Really?

I want to take IT seriously, but you guys aren't making it easy today.

He did bring up a good point about the silhouette of the Illusive Man sitting in his chair resembling a reaper...

And the whole "You're in my chair" thing...

I don't agree with everything demersel's bringing up, but this one's good, imo.
