1. Surely though the reapers wouldn't bother making people think that the Catalyst was going to save them? Unless the Catalyst serves some purpose to the reapers, which it might do, but we have no evidence to support that. Would seem like a waste of effort to indoctrinate so many people, to be honest.

2. I... I don't actually remember, honestly. If the Council are still alive then that's a possibility, but if they died I don't have any idea. There's certainly a reason for it, even if it's not obvious.

4. The geth do have a government. They make decisions building a consensus. The difference is is that Harbinger is in charge of manipulating the collectors and is believed to be the reaper "General" which implies some form of hierarchy. The geth don't have that, instead having something akin to a perfect communism run by the people, which in this case are the geth VIs.

5/6. So, why can't you imagine the consequences this time?
