We're spread fairly widely through the galaxy, if the reapers aren't stopped we will be the ones to witness the fall of our cycle.

As for the people on Thessia, they'll likely be harvested as reaper troops to attack other worlds with.

[ He doesn't know what that means, so he pauses for a moment. He'd assumed the Reapers were a killing force.

But if they're harvesters... ]

That sounds unpleasant. Some form of brainwashing?

[dowhatittakes]

They have that, it's called indoctrination and they entirely take over your mind and make you believe in their cause. The rest as killed and reanimated with Reaper tech and deformed into husks. It's something out of the worst nightmares to imagine.

[sturmhond]

[ It is. Even he thinks that, and he tries not to take anything seriously. ]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Husks. Not a very flattering name. Do you think they remember what they were, where they're from?

[dowhatittakes]

No, they're whatever race they originally were but mutated with electronics. All they know is attack and kill to take the bodies and make more husks.

[sturmhond]

[ Silence, for a moment. ]

That's a ghastly business. War of any kind always is, of course, but to lose people like that is a worse fate than death. No doubt that's why they do it.

[dowhatittakes]

It's horrifying, especially when most people are still alive when they're turned. It's even worse when they start mixing parts from different races together into new and more terrifying creatures.

I can't imagine a great lot that's worse than that. You've seen this happen, personally?

[dowhatittakes]

I have, personally watched humans, turians, and asari be turned into reaper forces. It's terrifying to know what these machines can do with their technology.

[sturmhond]

I'm sorry, Liara. Truly. I've known war, but not like that. It's difficult to imagine anything worse than such a loss of control, of self.

[dowhatittakes]

I've read about human wars and they seems every bit as horrific as the one we're fighting now. This one just has the worst kinds of atrocities as opposing forces that I've heard of. But, we will fight. None of us are going to go down without a struggle.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I know that. Sometimes that's all you can do, and as a general rule, it's a damned sight better than nothing.

[dowhatittakes]

You're right, hopefully from here it gets batter. Or I can learn something from the CDC to help back home.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I hope it's possible, for what that's worth.

[dowhatittakes]

Thank you, I hope so too.
