[[WMG: XCOM reverse engineering [[Franchise/MassEffect Reaper tech]], especially stuff from Virmire and indoctrination.]]
* [[SarcasmMode There is no way it will come back to bite them, like it did with Cerberus in the original.]]
* It's a disaster in 'batarian' scale waiting to happen.
* Would be an awesome plot twist to see XCOM to hoist by its own petard.
* Not really, given that you'd end up with a ShaggyDogStory that ends up about as poorly as it does in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''. Further, the notion that XCOM wouldn't be extremely cautious about indoctrination (given their history with mind control, psi-influence, and the ET) in any and all forms is laughable.
