My belief that I, along with my crew, would be the ones to pay that price pretty much started in the sequence leading up to Ilos. The Avina vid above just convinced me that I was right. Further confirmation came when I discovered that I had been under house arrest for 6 months, and then that choice line at the time listed above, I knew I was in trouble. That's the downside to being The Chosen One. When the feces hits the fan, it's blowing all over you. The problem is, there isn't a single one of my Shepards that would have turned their back on it. If all it took to save the galaxy was their own death, they'd have done it. Regarding the Geth, all I can think of right now is Legion's line on the Shuttle after it confides in you about the Reaper code, and Shepard says they're better than that: "No, we're not". Taking note of Legion's sacrifice on Rannoch to deliver the Reaper Code, I cannot help but believe that, in Shepard's shoes, it would have chosen Destroy. Even if it could still connect to a consensus, that would have been what I foresee as the outcome. This knowledge, idea in no way affected the Shepard that had to deal with their deaths after choosing Destroy and getting the breath scene. The Brutal Calculus of War did, however.
I can overlook Sovereign in the lab, because it gave us that great one liner. I can also buy some kind of shielding vs a passive signal that would indoctrinate, since it does happen with dead Reapers-think the Reaper IFF mission. It's not much more of a stretch than Mordin's "the swarm can't see us" thing for Horizon. Hell, it could be something as simple as a cellphone jammer, for all I know. (You'd laugh at the images that brought up, of Reapers calling your brain, and can't get through) I had my own "ark" idea, although mine was to go hide where Shepard's apartment is. The problem is, it's going to take about a century for the Reapers to finish what they're doing. If Shepard is going to die as a result of the war, I'd rather go down fighting than hiding though.
See, Robert it's hard to take you seriously. I don't mean this in a nasty way, but I find some things really funny. At the end of one paragraph you say the brutal calculus of war, but then in the very next, one item among many that was ignored by people and that would have proven the reapers is a comin' (the sovereign tidbit) you have no problem with them all ignoring because of the funny line Shepard says. I thought the line was funny too but also sad-again, who has the last laugh? in 2 out of 3 choices, sovereigns bromancers do. In one choice I don't believe the noise Shepard made was a laugh and in the other non-choice there's just silence.
One of the funniest things I ever read was someone saying if you asked the geth they'd say destroy makes sense, too. However, listen to what the kid says and see if it makes any sense at all. It's a mess. He says synthetics are targeted and even you are part synthetic-which means??? And more fun stuff. I think the geth would consider the whole ball of wax a bunch of nonsense and really, asking them what you should do and then telling them because the kid says you'll turn into killer robots and we must be saved from you. That's what reaper boy is telling me, oh synthetic one. You know the guy that's been sending in actual authentic real killer robots. He's been sending them in to turn us into goo, so you don't kill us. Make sense, geth bro? Uh no.
I know that's not what you're saying. You say that if the roles were reversed the geth would kill humans. You don't know that's the case. Legion showed them capable of sacrificing themselves. They've done so before. They didn't even have to align themselve with organics at any time because it was not clear that they were targets of the reapers at all. But they stood up to fight alongside organics.
