As such cloning only a few dozen or a hundred Protheans is very believable & cost effective.
Also finding a secret bunker with a hundred Protheans is just as plausible & justifiable.
Cloning: Who would be willing to clone Protheans???
And now I will raise points against yours:
1) Cloning Protheans would be a considerably pointless exercise, it would take vast amounts of time to get a "perfect" Prothean out of it, and it is likely that after the cloning process, there'll be better concerns on their mind (e.g. "We need to repopulate as a race and find a home!"). Use of Javik and other protheans learning through contact isn't a viable point for training them either. If you give a human a tail, they won't be able to effectively control it for years, maybe even decades. Meaning you'd either have to wait it out for them to be able to control that ability, or do it the old fashioned way, both of which take time, and would likely not be finished for the end of the reaper war.
2) Finding a secret bunker with a hundred protheans is in no way plausible and Justifiable. Were all of these protheans to be in perfect health, they would have popped out of their pods right after the reapers left, warned the galaxy, created a major prescence in the galaxy and created effective weapons to use against them. They wouldn't choose to exit them at the immediate end of a cycle, where their knowledge means nothing. Also, nobody's going to be searching for them. I cannot think of one scenario in which you would tell a research team to "go out into the galaxy and sweep every single planet for even the possibility of a Prothean base, while your home planet burns to ashes and you could all be developing the Crucible". It would be a complete waste of time, and likely never happen. If no-one managed to find them within the space that the reapers were gone, then they really aren't going to find anything in a few months.
3) Nobody would have the time to clone Protheans. Every able-bodied researcher is working on getting the crucible up and running, not running around finding milennia-extinct things to clone. Plus, you have to go through Javik, the only Prothean alive and capable of being cloned, who seems very much reluctant to get his race up and running, considering his thoughts on what he will do when the war ends, I don't think he wants to be cloned.
So finding a bunker is out of the question, and Javik doesn't want to be cloned, nor would anyone likely try to find him with a war going on and reapers zipping around the galaxy. Plus cloning them would require training and teaching them to use their powers, which would take a long time and may never pay off. Much easier to clone little dinosaurs for the Krogan to ride on.
2. The pods had to be opened from the Outside just have the VI that ran the Facility Malfunction after sealing them in its easy enough. And Cereberus could have found the Bunker. People Believed Protheans to be extinct they were happy just finding Knowledge from them look how long it took them to find the info about the Reapers if your going to try and make a point try harder
Thanks for reminding me: Next problem with it is the fact of sustained power. These bunkers were meant to keep them in for a couple hundred years, while the reapers buggered off, not milennia after that. They had to have a limited power supply as to keep them off the radar and prevent the Reapers simply finding them and blowing their plan into multiple pieces, as such, they would have to sacrifice power to keep them alive, and I assure, you, 100 protheans would not come out of it, look at Ilos, which was running a simple VI and several hundred researchers. Also, the AI would have pulled them out AFTER the reapers left, not when they're coming back, were it to fail, then it would be clear that the reapers would have been there to make it fail, meaning that they would likely pick up on any presence there and simply move in and finish the job they started. Also, convenient that Cerberus would find TWO bunkers, both with live protheans in them, in a "needle in a haystack" situation with a million planets to look on with a million different places on each planet to look on. I doubt they'd get a streak going, nor would they need a streak, they don't need Protheans for their plan on stopping the reapers, to them it was a side objective to do along the way.
PS: If you're going to counter someone's counter-argument, make sure to both use punctuation and do so in a proper fashion. Not only is your point look like it's written by a three-year old just learning to use a keyboard, but also egging someone on to keep going in a fully-defensive argument is also a bad idea. There's a million ways your points could not happen, and only a few in which it would.
Fair enough, you make logical points... however... perhaps you missed something already addressed or you omitted it for whatever reason...
"I don't think you even understand the incompetency of the Reapers. They suffer HEAVILY from hubris and it made them overlook Javik when the Eden Prime bunker detonated the
neutron purge. They were so confident in their abilities that they assumed that they had killed all of the Protheans and just left. If they were so careless with this facility, why should anyone believe that they were careful with the search of the rest of the galaxy?
All of the Protheans lost connection with each other, so the Reapers were forced into searching for the remainder manually. Given their incompetency, how is anyone supposed to believe that they killed every last one of them?
The only reason that Eden Prime's bunker was found was because indoctrinated traitors gave the info to the Reapers. The probability of that happening to every bunker across the GALAXY is laughable, especially because without communications, there would be no one to betray others, and considering the neutron purge was the reason only Javik survived, the remaining bunkers would sustain most if not all of the life they were intended to.No one can say with certainty what happened to the remnants of the Protheans. It used to be an unquestioned truth that the Protheans were all dead, but that got thrown out the window with Javik. There is no real reason to fully believe that EVERY one of them is dead.
That does not mean that there are billions of them left, but there is
reason to believe that there could be a significant enough supply of them to earn a SP DLC and an UR MP card. It might be a bit of a stretch, but there could be some ships/race/colony that freaks out Raloi style and decides to go venturing into territory of previously inactive relays to flee from the Reapers that results in them finding a stasis facility. There are plenty of ways that they could be discovered, that is just one I came up with a while ago."
Again, credit goes to Father Superior.
