But again, this time the "humanoid machines" or whatever would be going into a situation in which the defenders know what their objective is. This is completely different from the situation at the end of the first game, in which they had no idea where Saren and the geth were headed. The council chambers were unguarded in the first game, as the Council had evacuated, and no one knew about the console. This allowed Saren and the geth to waltz right in. Counting on this to happen a second time is... well, let's just say that it's not likely to happen again.
