You know it occurs to me, that all these theories might be
part right. I've got a crazy idea to add to the mix here.
The Shadow Broker/Collectors know that Cerberus has Shepard and intend to
revive him/her.
Cerberus knows that it has to take every precaution to keep the extremely
vulnerable and fragile Shepard out of harm’s way until they can patch him/her
up.
So, TIM decides that everyone that is hired to be on this project will be very
well compensated and in return, they cannot leave until the project is done to
ensure the secrecy of the base is maintained, i.e. until Shepard has died
beyond recovery or been completely recovered. While this is an excellent idea
to most people at first(say they get 5 million credits for signing up for a few
months and some clause about getting more for their families if it takes longer
than predicted), it ends up taking a lot more time than they originally
thought. Mechs and heavy Mechs are added to the security detail to both keep
costs down and to give the base 24 hour defenders if it comes to that.
Wilson becomes dissatisfied with his not-so-meager earnings when he learns of
the overall budget and when he considers the fact that he just brought someone
back from the dead, he believes he should be given more money. In his mind, he
was integral to the project and they couldn't have done it without him. This
may or may not be true considering Wilson had to reassure Miranda that
Shepard's body was still salvageable despite being in far worse condition than
they anticipated.
This whole time, the Shadow Broker/Collectors still want Shepard's body, or
absolute proof that he/she is completely dead instead of mostly dead. Cerberus
is well guarded against leaks, but there are a few weak links and they learn
that there is a secret facility somewhere that Shepard's body is being kept in.
Due to the fact that Cerberus isn't exactly brimming with soldier members, most
of the substantial security forces are discovered to be mechs. While they can't
find and infiltrate the base itself unless someone comes to them from the
inside, they can try to find a way to affect the base from the outside.
To this end, they make the virus that makes all the mechs and that space
station VI go crazy and try to kill all humans. Unfortunately they can't deploy
it as is for whatever reason, most likely that in order for the virus to
spread, the mechs or a person has to physically infect the other system. So
they hold on to the virus, and they wait.
Meanwhile, with Shepard's body, Wilson wants more credit from Miranda as to his
importance in the project, so he can get a bigger cut of the budget, or because
he is attracted to her, or whatever. So he stages a small glitch in Shepard's
meds so he can swoop in and save the day. Unfortunately Miranda is right there
to correct him before his ploy can do any lasting damage. Angry and frustrated,
he turns to outside channels against his contract with TIM to find a way to
make himself seem more impressive.
This is where either him being set up or him being a mole can come into play.
If he was set up, the Shadow Broker saw the opening in security and used it to
send over the virus. Wilson is near Shepard when the Mechs start to go crazy,
he panics and leaves a helpless Shepard to fend for himself while he tries to
save his own life. On his way to the shuttles, he ends up finding out it was
his fault and he knows that he has to get off the station before TIM or Miranda
find out. He tries to head to the shuttles, but ends up being stuck in the room
the mechs are controlled in. He radios for help, learns that Shepard (who
everyone on the station was supposed to defend with their lives should the
situation arise) is still alive and headed his way. Knowing how bad this looks,
he shoots himself and makes up a story about why he was there. Then he finds
out that Miranda is alive and she is PISSED. He tries to get to the shuttles
before her to save his own life, but that obviously fails.
If he was the mole, the Shadow Broker gave him the virus, and told him to
simply plug an infected OSD into the mech's control center during a shift
change when defenses are weakest. Then he is supposed to escape as the only
survivor and pass along the location of the base so the Collector's can clean
it out while TIM is getting his report from Wilson. So, he does this, making
sure that most of the mechs head toward where Miranda should be, since she
would be the most capable of stopping the plan. When he radios to see if there
are survivors, it turns out that Shepard is alive and heading his way. He
doesn't have the technical ability to do much beyond telling the mechs to go to
a certain place to shut down (shooting all humans along the way) so he can't
reprogram them to not shoot at him. He panics, shoots himself, learns about
Miranda, and tries to get Shepard to the shuttle, where he can just cut out
reporting to TIM and collect and even larger bounty with Shepard's corpse. It
doesn't work out that way.
These theories only hold if Wilson's motivation was from feeling underpaid or underappreciated though, not if he was attracted to Miranda. Anyways, that's my new convoluted thoughts on this conspiracy. The actual truth is probably a lot simpler than this. Wild mass guessing is fun though.
