Grif of Hearts. Why would the Reapers, immortal machines who happily spend centures killing life and thousands of years sleeping care about speeding things up? They dont give two s&@ts bout speeding things up. All they care about it if something is useful. And the Protheans were useful till they couldnt do their job any more, so they altered them to make sure they could. And what great advantage to the Reapers is their between a Collector and an indoctrinated Prothean that can still fight and shoot? Both are obidient, both would rebel and while the Reapers being able to hack into Collectors remotely is an advantage, this advantage was only nessesary when the Prothean became incapable of following simple instructions. They didnt care until the Protheans couldn't do what they wanted them to. Other then that i dont get what your point is. The Reaper are efficent and would clone Collectors, but a Collector clone with it cybernetic implants would be a slave to them and one without cybernetic implants would be a little more then brain dead.

-S- Now you are just making things up for the sake of it. The Reapers are masters of genetic engeeneering, cloning, cybernetics and a long list of other scientific endevours. so explian to me how it is more logical to keep a prothean prisoner for DNA rather then keep a record of Prothean DNA and produce it artifically through protheins? Explain how it is more logical to clone a Prothean and then put that new freash clone through the Collector process all over again rather then program the cloning machines to clone a Collector and stick the cybernetic elements in him at the same time. The Reapers personally have no concern for speed, but the do care about effeciency. Not to mention your mentioning of a control subject implies the Reapers care about the Protheans, like they expect the experiment to benefit them. But they really dont care at all. Once the Reaper found they couldnt use the Protheans to make a Reaper, they just used them as cannon fodder and labour, altering them only when they were no good for that.
