    I mean the fact that Harbringer really wants Shepard's body, and that the discussion about this happens primarily around ME2 timeframe, indicates to me that it was less about controlling them through indoctrination; and more about being part of the human reaper they were building at the collector base.

    I forgot the title of the comic but there is one where TIM is fighting in the First Contact War and while he is captured, the Turians come across a buried Reaper artifact that directly turns anyone who turns it into this ultimate form of indoctrination basically. A few Turians and TIMs friend are touched by it and they become full-on husk looking. TIM does not touch it directly when trying to pull his friend away from it, but it is where he got his glowing blue eyes from. Saren's brother is also there and turned the artifact into a holy thing and tried to get the entire Turian population indoctrinated lol

    I always thought the Spheres were explained by the Leviathan DLC?<br><br>The scientists destroyed the research center not because Reapers got into their heads, but Leviathans wanting to &apos;blow up the phone booth&apos;

    In the vision I think it was a prothean ship watching them. Later when the reapers invade it kills the primitive simply for having the chip implanted.

    I won&apos;t be happy unless I can finally play as a volus.

    The bit about the sphere on Eletania was really interesting, I never considered that it was a Reaper and not a Prothean observing the caveman. The mentioning of a &quot;red finger of light&quot; should have tipped me off I guess 😅 I&apos;m glad people are still talking about these games, great vid.

    I think for the Cro-magnon thing, that was a Prothean researcher that chipped him. the protheans were studying, then the Reaper wipe most of them out. then a reaper shows up looking for the tech/advancement that makes a civilzation worth harvesting, finds a chipped barely into the stone age human...and just vaporizes him.

    The fragment is in your room on the table on Normandy after the mission, so anyone that visits might be getting invluenced to. Like the love interest.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU8aDZoXtLI&amp;t=584">9:44</a> actually that timeline fits assuming this happens around the end of the Cro-Magnon era, Vigil and Liara mention that it took the Reapers centuries to conquer the Protheans so it could have been right around the time the Reapers arrived. The 50,000 year timeframe is likely an estimate based on the end on the harvest, so it&apos;s reasonable to assume it falls in line. Also, it describes the ship as silver in color, and we all know the Reapers are much darker in color, closer to black.
