Use control chips to make everyone oppose the reapers?

Miranda just causally drops "hey shep, I wanted to put a control chip in you to make you obey us but my boss said no. my bad. lol sorry!"

and Shepard is like "doh you. that's okay " and they never mention control chips again.

That seems like kind of a big deal and Lawson has like zero doubts or hesitation about the tech so it's clearly not a prototype or anything.

Why didn't they just put control chips in the brains of like the council leaders and Wreav and whoever else to make everyone oppose the reapers?

hell that had to be easier and cheaper than literally raising the dead.

TIM and Miranda are dim

Presumably because Miranda didn't rebuild the council members from scratch and thus would not have had the unique opportunity to install a chip that literally controls them

A more important question is How come the animation was so good? Thats literally all I ever paid attention to.

Have you not played 3? They put those chips in their soldiers and turn them into husks.

you're telling me it's easier, cheaper and more effective to raise one dead solider than it is for a ops team to do secret brain surgery on like 26 people

I don't buy it. Hell Udina already has Cerberus ties

It's not something they go into a lot of detail about, so...maybe? It's sci-fi, bro
