These files were apparently first posted by "ULT1M4T3xPL" so salute to that guy.
So, before you start reading, if you don't want some of the catalyst conversation changes in Leviathan spoiled, go do something else. Seriously. Stop reading.
Moving on...
This is the most recent leak we have of the updated "choice sequence" dialogue:

If you've not read the other bits from the Leviathan script it won't make a lot of sense, some time ago I summed up the plot as such:
TSA_383 wrote...
The mission involves you investigating some asteroid mining colony, the miners turn out to be indoctrinated in a very strange way - no mental degradation but they don't remember what happened after you free them by destroying some "monument". You end up on an epic quest to look for Leviathan, and you delve into its underwater realm, where you discover that Leviathan is the very first "unsuccessful" reaper. If you remember from the EC, the catalyst says something about attempting synthesis with unwilling organics - Leviathan was the result, it is a rogue reaper. So the leviathans created the catalyst AI and it turned on them, and after it could not control them it refined its techniques and created the first successful reaper - Harbinger.
You can confront the Catalyst in the decision chamber about the Leviathans, which has as yet unseen consequences [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]
Which seems to be roughly confirmed by these new sections of choice sequence dialogue.
To pick a few particularly relevant sections:
<data>A species that recognized the conflict that constantly arose between synthetics and organics.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748458</id>
<position>25</position>
<data>I calculated. I planned. I evolved new ways to prevent and mitigate the conflict. But in the end, only one solution that allowed organics and synthetics to coexist.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748459</id>
<position>26</position>
<data>Correct again. It was they who first recognize the conflict that persists between synthetics and organics. It was they who sought the solution.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748460</id>
<position>27</position>
<data>I was created to oversee the relations between synthetic and organic life.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748461</id>
<position>28</position>
<data>Even still, our efforts ended in conflict. So a new solution was required.</data>
<data>Yes and no. The Reapers are a synthetic representation of the ones who created us.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748464</id>
<position>31</position>
<data>And they became the first to be harvested. Though they fought us... it was the only solution.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748465</id>
<position>32</position>
<data>It is the only solution that maintains the balance and the directive.</data>
<data>I was designed to control synthetics, and protect and preserve organic life.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748486</id>
<position>53</position>
<data>To this day, it remains my primary purpose.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748487</id>
<position>54</position>
<data>We required their harvesting to create the first Reaper. To enforce and enact on the solution I created.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748488</id>
<position>55</position>
<data>The first Reaper. In this cycle, amongst your kind, it is known as Harbinger.</data>
<data>We have tried... a similar solution in the past. Several cycles ago.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748545</id>
<position>112</position>
<data>But it has always failed.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748546</id>
<position>113</position>
<data>Because the organics have been unwilling. It is not something that can be... forced.</data>
</string>
- <string>
<id>748547</id>
<position>114</position>
<data>You must choose it. For all of us.</data>
Could it really be made any more clear, given that we're going to meet a rogue reaper that was forced into synthesis, what that option represents, and the fact that the catalyst is attempting to force you down that path?
