The voice simply laughs.

Garrus glanced at Palpus. "I think I know what that is."He said.

"Of course." The voice says again.

"So, either we're both conveniently going crazy in the same way, or the corpse plant we found is somehow able to use telepathy."Garrus said.

"I am what you refer. An endless chorus for all eternity. What the reapers pose will not only eradicate us. But all life. To expect even the reapers to master and target our sequence is impossible. They cannot simply target us." The tone was bleak yet no signs of deceit or staggering. These were facts whether they believed it or not.

"Some how I find that hard to believe."Garrus said. "Especially considering this is coming from a mutated pile of corpses that's not only foreign to this universe, but also tried to kill us a while ago."Garrus said.

"If I wanted you dead you would have been killed instantly." The voice paused and the Turians would feel headaches and slight vision problems.

"Well, I'm pretty sure you and I have different ideas of what killing is. If yo uweren't trying to kill us then why have your army of mutant zombies attack us?"Palpus asked.

"I simply allowed the children to feast. Feast upon the flesh you had brought us."

"Yeah and that flesh was being used. Contrary to what you believe we don't exist for you to eat."Garrus said.

"It matters not what we think. But what will come to pass if they use this weapon."

"And how can I trust you? Hell, why should I trust you? We've already established you were trying to eat us on the planet. And even then, you're new to this universe. You know much much less about the reapers than we do."Garrus said.

"Then you should know what the reapers can do. I did not wish to devour you. Just to talk."

"Oh I do know what they can do. And what you're saying they're planning makes no sense at all."Garrus said. "First off the reapers were trying to harvest us, not to wipe us out. Second if they're planning to kill us all, than why ever stop the invasion?"Garrus asked. "Right now I have much mroe of a reason to trust the Reapers, over the monster that turned good soldiers and innocent people into those horrible monsters to talk to me and my friend here."Garrus said.

"You call me a monster for what I have done. Yet the reapers did the same. The turned the normal organic states into hybrids of flesh and metal. You simply need to see what is to come. The reapers realize and will not harvest you or anyone else. But if they destroy you all then they are not responsible. Especially if they say the machine is used to simply destroy us."

"Yeah I know they did that. But the last Reaper troop to be made, was made over six years ago. Since then the Reapers have done nothing but help the galaxy."Garrus said.

"Then suit yourselves. I have tried to head you with these warnings. You will have no hope if you do not listen." The gravemind stopped talking to them leaving them with a mild headache and eye pain. This is due to prolonged exposure to his voice.

"I really wish the reapers would just bomb that thing from orbit."Palpus said, rubbing his head.

The Gravemind knew he made a wise choice with Garrus and he would soon make his move.

"So, you actually think the Reapers wouldn't try and wipe us out?"Palpus asked. "If they were going to, then why stop the invasion and be chummy for several years? It makes no sense. I mean, the Reapers don't make much sense, but they make mroe sense than that."Garrus said. "Even then I told Javik to have the Council ready the crucible if the Reapers do try anything funny."Garrus said.
