Cerberus attacking Sur'Kesh and the Citadel.
I love how the characters asks why Cerberus would do these things yet the game never bothers to explain it, Shepard even wovs to find out the reason behind the coup yet never does so.
Truly some of the worst missions of the franchise.
I think the attack on the citadel was to get control of the citadel. Tim was trying to control the reapers. I think someone said that he had the info about the thessia beacon so he probably was able to access it by then and wanted to have the citadel to try to get control of the reapers since that is what the VI says. He doesn't have the info about the catalyst so he doesn't understand that the citadel is useless without it. At least this is how I'm trying to make sense of it.
As for the attack on sur'Kesh, I always thought that was him trying to keep shepard or the krogan or anyone from getting her. The Salarians say there was some sort of transmission sent out but not following protocols and they are tracking inbound aircraft or something like that if you listen to the conversations around the elevator before you actually attempt to get into that first elevator. So it seems they had someone there that alerted cerberus though it makes little sense as they are salarian, EXCEPT, Mordin seems to be the only one who wants this cure and the female krogan represents a threat to the galaxy.
From Tim's perspective, even before he went insane, that would be something he would want to keep from happening. He would absolutely kill the female krogan if she represented the threat of krogan being cured of the genophage which would put the galaxy and humans at risk. The enemy of my enemy and all that.... but they never actually say this so we are left to wonder. They should have stated it because it's kind of common sense when you consider it big picture, but the way it is done it doesn't really make sense partly because cerberus is everywhere and seems to not have any method to their madness. But in this case, there is a logic to it.
Same with the bomb on tuchunka. Tim may not know about peace efforts, but he would if he knows about the krogan female, he also would probably like to limit krogan population however possible. The two go together when you think along those lines. He still is Tim with his agenda to help humans despite how warped or twisted it has become and despite the addition of controlling the reapers. Limiting the krogan population is just another plus for humanity in his wacky logic.
