That's... well, it's got a few parallels to what the Reapers do, but what they do is they take people, from all the races they capture, and usually they just end up converting you into shock troops, which is bad enough -- Husks, dead bodies reanimated, stuck full of their cybernetics and pointed back at their own side.
The thing that's got me wondering, though is the other thing they do. Indoctrination.
[There's a moment's hissing silence on the line, as Kaidan shakes off dark thoughts and replaces them with useful ones.]
Exposure to Reaper ships or artifacts for long enough starts having... effects, on people. Compromising them, turning them into agents in place, that sort of thing.
