Actually the scene you are referring to from the leaks had at least two versions in the leaked story file. Including one which resulted in the death of a squadmate and one that didn't, suggesting that they were earlier ideas and that the scene, and the Prothean's role, has been downplayed through the editions. And I haven't seen Hudson's defence so far, but the original story files didnt seem to suggest that the Prothean was a squadmate. What if, and it is a big if, the Prothean was always meant to be on the Normandy in a similar fashion to Joker or EDI, but From Ashes merely makes him a squadmate and adds a mission to elaborate on his backstory?
