User blog comment:The Milkman/Indoctrination Theorists Say the Darndest Things, Part II/@comment-5830255-20121205072655/@comment-24174486-20121205130931

"I mean for the love of all sanity, how can you say Harbinger doesn't want to indoctrinate Shepard. Please refute Harbinger wanting Shepard, specifically his mind... considering the only way Harbinger can 'have' Shepard's mind is with Indoc."

For one, Harbinger constantly tries to kill Shepard in ME2, and shows greater interest in capturing Shepard's body, whether dead or alive. Harbinger's quotes when it possesses a Collector reaffirm that: for example, "If I must tear you apart, Shepard, I will."

Secondly, Harbinger almost kills Shepard in ME3.
