Indeed, but the writers would never have the Reapers in control of the relay because their is no way to beat them i that happens. Not when the Reapers can move as one, while indivual systems are cut off from one another. I think Earth isnt the only target and Shep's gonna have to stop other galaxy wide attacks before Earth can be save.
