LilyheartsLiara: Control tolerates their existence, which seems to be good enough. Honestly Considering how likely the Reaper cycle could be the Cause of the Synthetics VS organics problem, it's possible they don't care about it at all. Or maybe the AI Expects Shepalyst to eventually come to the same conclusion he did if the conflict is legit.

The Catalyst is the collective intelligence of ALL Reapers, this makes him all Reapers literally. There is no reason for him to be lying about this, in fact you'd think he'd be inclined to not say he was the collective intelligence of all Reapers. But at the same time he is taking the form of innocence and guilt, so clearly he's trying to mess with Shepard's head. Anyways it is what the Reapers want, it's what THEY are. They are literally Organic Synthetic Hybrids lol Everything they make so far, from the Reapers to the Husks are Synthesis.
