User blog comment:Bronzey/Tying up the threads: possible storylines of Mass Effect 3/@comment-1878196-20100428175853

There are some interesting facts in this article, but, just for the sake of it, I have to point out a couple of things:

First off, I don't think Cerberus will turn on Shepard if he destroyed the base. He still is their best asset against the Reapers, and hindering his efforts would go against their "Cerberus-is-humanity" ideology promoted throughout the first two games.

Second, Genophage cure or not, it won't have much effect on the strength of the Krogan army in our current timeline. I mean, it takes quite a while to grow an army.. unless they start some mass-tank-breeding process Okeer-style, in which case (as pointed out with Grunt), the cure would be irrelevant.

Other than that, I think the Geth and the Rachni armies are sure things, if the player decided to help them. Combine that with a massive multi-racial fleet (Turians, Asari, Salarians, Humans, Quarians, Geth, maybe others), - and don't be fooled, the fleet guarding the Citadel was nothing compared to this - and the Reapers are in for one hell of a fight. And we are in for one hell of a game :D.
