so... they were constructing that sooper sekrit ark project right above the moon while reapers are nowhere to be seen?

granted, it could've been in the making for a while and presumably just not there when the reapers attacked, but something tells me someone's bound to babble about it. earth being a major homeworld and all. meaning information leaks, bye bye secrecy and reapers (again presumably) attempting to shut that thing down the minute they learn about it.

then again, they didn't find the crucible despite the number of people knowing of/working on it.
