You know something i just realized. The Reapers were already trying the start this cycles purge by the time of the Rachni Wars. We know that a Reaper probably Soverign, indoctrinated the rachni to war war and give it access to the Citadel, since he couldnt activate it remotely. But at that point their weren't any AI's around at all so whats the point?

And Javik claims the Protheans were actually winning the Metacon War against AI, so why intervene and kill them if the Protheans were going to destroy all AI's anyway
