The STG would know more about indoctrination than a bunch of mercs, and some of their operatives still got turned. So if the Reapers wanted to indoctrinate some merc heads, I could definitely see it. And as I said, if that doesn't work, fabricating credits certainly would. The mercs wouldn't give a damn about Aria if they got shiny new guns or a butt load of credits.
