im not saying the reapers would win through indoctrination alone through spies in each faction they would realize that attacking outright would be foolish lest they desire extinction!! they would have collectors take colonists away for processing and make larger newer improved reaper designs by the time any catch on they would already be decimated from fighting each other and then the reapers would arrive after watching and waiting and would wipe out any stragglers and folks lets face it reapers always adapt. also the collectors would probably help wipe out any stragglers they probably would have started building dreadnoughts of there own. and again i other factions would trying to pacify the flood to no avail of course. the reapers always manipulate their targets before killing them and again don't even get me started on husk and collector legions.
