but, it all leads back to synthesis as the story requires a 'cure' for the cycle. Destroy doesn't go that far, as the creation of synthetic life, apparently, triggers a competition with organic existence. For organics to even competitively exist in the MEU, technology holds that key. Without advanced Ai, the MEU organic survival as noted in their expansion, would be limited. Logic dictates that synthesis is inevitable, so.. why wait?
We end up there anyway, as stated within the game, not only by the catalyst, but by the very nature of existence within the MEU. By taking advantage of left overs to advance within that structured enviornment, proposed by the catalyst, who, apparently, via the Leviathan obtains the tech needed to create it's experiment. IT undermines the experiment the catalyst starts, well, the Levithan starts, via the catalyst.
Indoctrination evokes a kind of hero thing with Shep over coming the influence, but still, it seem counter productive for the catalyst to frustrate it's own experiment with another control. If Shep were indoctrinated, there would be NO experiment, even it Shep were to overcome the indoctrination. That would leave destroy, and that would upend the experiment. The catalyst wouldn't, logically, invoke a control agent into an experiment the ruins the results. It would have to start over from scratch.
just say'n
Please remember that anything about the cycle beeing enacted to protect Organics from Synthetics and Synthesis ending it (as well as Synthesis beeing inevitable) comes directly from the Catalyst and no one else. It simply claims that Synthetics will always kill organics (despite us making peace between Quarian and Geth) and as such it decided to preserve all species by harvesting them.
Leviathan only wanted an end to Synthetics killing organics, not enact the cycle and it certainly never says anything about Synthesis.
The Catalyst supposed goal is also refuted by every action we have seen the Reapers take up until this point. The Geth only go to war because of the Reapers even beeing setup so taht without Shepards interference either the Quarians or Geth would have been wiped out going directly against the solution the Catatlyst claims to enforce. Javik also confirms that the Reapers seized control of the Zha´til in his cycle and used them against the Protheans, yep so much protecting the Organics from the ecil Synthetics.
And there is a very simple reason we should not simply seize their technology for our own, but advance carefully.
Remember what happened when the Salarians uplifted the krogan, gave them tech beyond what they were ready for? The Krogan Rebelions.
Shepard even points this out to TIM in the last conversation with him if you go the Paragon route, that we, the galaxy, is not ready for the technology the Reapers would bring (and he/she conveniently forgets this a moment later).
Beyond that Synthesis by the way it is explained is utterly ludicrous and past attempts and creations from Synthesis have been abominations. Saren, the synthesis supporter says directly "I am a vision of the future Shepard, a union of flesh and steel the strengths of both the weaknesses of neither." The dlc Overlord is a perfect example of the horror of what can happen when you strap an organic beeing into a cage of metal, the dlc even comes with a nice Synthesis green color. The collectors is an example of the horro of Synthesis, hell every single Reaper unit we fight including he Reapers themselves is Synthesis and constantly speak of how you will be ascended.
Even more telling is the fact taht Sovereign refers to himself as the pinnacle of evolution. What words does the Catalyst use regaridng synthesis? Ah yes, final evolution of life (not even mentioning that there can be no such thing as a final evolution of life)
The Catalyst uses alot of beatiful words and promises, but he offers no proof or garantue. You are taking what the self proclaimed leader of the Reapers is telling you at face value after having fought your way through the Reapers Synthesis "nightmare factory" (Garrus).
