Shepards being indoctrinated from the very start of the game. replay it, and watch all the scenes with the child carefully, no one but shep seems to notice him, he is not helped on to the shuttle, anderson does not mention him to shep after duct squence (shep sees him, turns away and he is gone). Sheps dreams are the continuation of the indoctrination (obvious reaper sounds ect). Finally the indoctrination occurs subliminaly when he charges the conduit (reaper, possibly harbinger, with glowing yellow eyes, similar to when it assumes control, apears and there is a bright flash of light). After that point their are continual references to the first two games ("this reminds me of collector base", "do you think they are building a reaper here", TIM killing himself in the exact same way as Saren ect.) Indoctrinating slowly allows the subject to retain more free will making them more usefull, shep hasn't helped the reapers yet (at least i don't think so) but he could be.

PS food for thought only the Synth ending requred war assets, mayby it is the only way to rject indoc.
