Yeah, Balak will still show up even if you killed him in Bring Down the Sky. The virtual aliens were first mentioned in Cerberus Daily News, but unlike the raloi, they aren't mentioned in Mass Effect 3. "Everything everybody else said" was me saying that all the things mentioned by all of the other editors in this blog as bugging them bugged me as well. As for the Collectors again, the paralyzing swarms in Mass Effect 2 were called Seeker swarms, not Collector swarms. BioWare could have perhaps meant Seeker swarms, but what they wrote in the codex implies swarms of the Collectors themselves.
