Has anyone besides Shepard talked to Harbinger? Does one indistinct holographic image from a smack talking reaper somehow differentiate it from all the other reapers? Does he have his name stenciled on the side of his body? How in the world does Hackett know that Harbinger is heading down to the beam? Did Harbinger radio to let them know he was coming? (Actually, that wouldn't surprise me considering how juvenile he is.)

6 yellow eyes and 4 legs. The same 6 yellow eyes and 4 legs we see in Arrival when talking with him, if you choose to do the dlc after the suicide mission

Dramatic music.

I am sure my pics of up close and personal Harbinger says it all!

HACKETT! YOU SHALL FEEL THIS.

The Feels are killing him!

I think the codex says survivors of the Collector attacks in ME2 heard Harbinger's voice.

 

Also, that burp thing it did at the beam sounded familiar.

@ 9:14... "Anderson: Hackett just reported in. Several Sovereign-class Reapers -- including Harbinger -- have broken off from the battle with Sword. They're headed here." 

 

If Hackett says it, it must be true.

The last time I listened to Hackett, I was on an asteroid and captured...

Wonder what he'd have done if shep said, "request denied," when Hackett was asking permission to board the Normandy, just before his big speech.

Shepard's gonna say, "I'm makin' the speeches, old man! You can fall in line or shut your mouth, but don't get in my way."

[CynicalShep]

You don't really know it but you can feel it. Pretty sure he knows you feel it, too.

It makes one wonder why he had to get on the Normandy to make this speech in the first place.

 

Hackett: I'd like to say some inspiring words to the fleet before we hit Earth.

 

Ensign: We can't sir. The ship's comms can only address a single ship at a time.

 

Hackett: I...who designed this ****?

 

Ensign: It seems the Normandy is the only one capable of doing this.

 

Hackett:

Shirley if you were Hackett you'd be on the Destiny Ascension as it's the most powerful ship in the fleet?

[themikefest]

He couldn't be on a ship that got destroyed.

 

I'm surprised that Hackett wasn't accompanied by all the leaders of each species while giving the speech and when talking with Anderson before going to Earth.

The leaders are with their respective species, as they should be.

Why should they be?

 

Wouldn't you want all the leaders talking together about their attack on the reapers?  Each leader giving input at what would be the best plan instead one single idea without any input at all.

I'd like to think that all that happened well before the assault on Cronos, as it should have.

Then again, politicians in ME are idiots.

It wouldn't make sense to have it before Chronos since the Alliance was engaged with Cerberus. It would most likely happen after with all the fleets of each species gathered together to go over the plans and to add any updates that would help

[von uber]

It makes about as much sense as having the Primark at the FOB.

[themikefest]

I liked seeing the Primarch on Earth. He wants to fight with his people and not be stuck on some ship.

No.

The assault on Cronos is, in effect, the start of the assault on Earth. Hacket tells you this himself. Eeverything would and should have been talked over before that. Also, because, as you said, the Alliance is occupied by Cerberus from the start of the assault on Cronos.

If they need to talk things over after Cronos they're too late.

But, again, politicians/leaders are retarded in ME, so that could be possible. But it's highly unlikely, illogical and just stupid.

Yes.

 

Its hard to plan an attack if you don't where the Crucible is going to be needed. They had no idea the Citadel was the catalyst till after the mission was completed and Hackett was informed. It would take time for all the fleets of each species to assemble. We had to wait for the Allaince  assemble their fleets before attacking Cerberus. With that many ships it would take time. And just going to Earth to take our chances is not a plan, its someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Why didn't he have a backup plan if we didn't know the Citadel was the Catalyst?

[MassivelyEffective0730]

Don't know, but I'm in a Spite/Rape argument about who would win in a fight on Facebook, the Galactic Empire or the Reapers. Surprisingly, there are people who insist that the Reapers actually have a chance.

 

Ol' Harby would be viscerally gutted by a medium turbolaser on an Imperial picket ship.

[Farangbaa]

Yes.

I'm sure they have mobile phones in the MEU. They don't have to be in the same room.

(I'll concede that you're right about them having to talk after Cronos though )
