Remember, the first game only contained one Reaper. Little did he know, that he was already becoming indoctrinated by Sovereign. Why did Saren agree to do this? He believed that servitude to the Reapers was the only way to spare our galaxy. If the beacons were destroyed, then there would be no possible way in thwarting Sovereign's attack on the Citadel. Sovereign, knowing this, sent Saren to destroy the beacons. The Geth could potentially be stopped if the gate on Ilos was destroyed. The only Reaper who had reached our galaxy at this point was Sovereign, who was controlling the Geth in order to attack the Citadel and the Council. The beacons eventually led to Ilos, which contained the gate where the Reaper controlled Geth entered the Citadel. The beacon supposedly contained Prothean information on how to stop the Reapers. So I'm inclined to think this is something of a plot hole that the writers thought about how this information would unfold to Shepard, but not about how and why Saren would lead her such a path to follow. So how did Saren know that the Thorian could help him understand the beacon? What did he even need that for, if he already knew he needed to go to Ilos? The beacon shows Ilos, but does it show the Conduit, or what it can do? I didn't think so, but how did Saren know, then?ġ) Saren has an intact beacon on Virmire, so he shouldn't have needed the info from the one on Eden Prime.Ģ) He seeks the Thorian's knowledge about the Protheans, presumably to understand the beacon.ģ) He's looking for the Mu relay that is, he knows he needs to go to Ilos. He needs a back door, and I thought Tali's recording shows that he needs the Conduit. Apparently, he thinks showing up at their doorstep with a geth fleet won't work. Saren's goal is to get Sovereign to the Citadel, to open the Citadel for the Reapers. So yeah, potentially sabotaging the beacon was not a bad piece of work, but hard to understand as a victory. Remember the Beacon had one other purpose, it was flashing arrow pointing at Ilos.
