Forum:Reaper Theory

Ok, so I have an idea about the Reapers, perhaps they are an ancient race that downloaded themselves in the bodies of the reapers to preserve themselves or because their bodies were failing them for some reason, much like the Virtual Aliens. They may continue their process of attacking organic life to find an ideal race to renter the world as, which could be humanity. The Reapers seem to have a specific interest in humans, and that could explain why Harbinger wanted Shepard's body intact, perhaps it planned to use Shepard's body as its own.
