	Log in to remove this sponsored message It has been established in Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons Spoiler: that the Geth are moderate species that only got their bad reputation after the incident that came to be known as the Morning War In this respect, I find their behavior out of their character, not as much in what they did do but mostly in what they did NOT do. It must have been clear to them that the Quarians would eventually want to return to Rannoch so why not just get the hell out of there in the first place? 300 years seems like enough time for the Geth to get their act together, harvest the resources/technology of Rannoch, move on and colonise an uninhabited world. Undoubtedly for them it would be much easier than for the Quarians. Just imagine what a powerful message that would have sent to the organics. Nah, instead they just sit there and well.. you know the rest.

	I can certainly see your point there. Perhaps the Geth felt that the Quarrians should stop trying to enslave their race before they unilaterally abandoned their homeworld just to show they're nice guys. You have to admit; it would be one hell of a generous thing to do for a bunch of people who attack you on sight. At the very least a cease-fire would be expected before you give your enemies an entire planet. On Battlestar Galactica a skinjob once asked a colonial whether the Cylons could have peace by letting the humans escape, or if doing that would only condemn them to a future of waiting for the humans' vengeance. How much more compelling would that be with the Quarrians, who actully started their conflict in the first place and (according to Leigon at least) never once attempted communication.

	i actually thought it was a bit backwards ass for legion to first say (in mass effect 2) that geth want peace and then start building a mega-structure (i dont know how close to the planet) and simply not think of the possibility that the quarians might attack (especially after legion said something along the lines of "we knew the reapers we're coming") all evidence, imperical or psudo would point to the "all out war" option and the geth being synthetic should have known quote Wereduck I can certainly see your point there.
