SPOILERS:


ME1 says that they are in a form of hibernation until its time to attack again. They leave one behind to make make sure the Citadel beacon gets activated and do all the other things needed to ready the attack.

So I'd say hibernation since that is what the game told us.

I recon that reaper break, isn't even a break at all!!!!!!!!

It's all just one game of galactic monopoly that they accidentally got themselves into.

and concidering they're omnipotent machines, none of them can ever win, but it's impossible for them to stop until one of them does.

kinda like when your PC freezes while loading.

They have light-hearted conversations.

Harbinger: "So... have you seen Thor yet?"

Sovereign: "Nah, superhero movies aren't my thing."

Harbinger: "You should watch it anyway. It's pretty dang good."

Sovereign: "Have you met Shelly from accounting yet?"

Harbinger: "Oh, yeah! I'd sure like to get my hands on dat mass."


Now, imagine they're wearing business suits and standing around a water cooler.

since my theory is that the head reaper is Marvin the paranoid android i think they try to cheer him up.
or play uno
or dream of electric sheep.
or if they are all like sovereign and can have normal sentient life running around inside them they play highly advanced the sims with real sentient life. And every 50.000 years they go get an expansion pack.

They play Minecraft. That should take up plenty of time.
They probably build computers in their minecraft, so they can build geth in their minecraft computers.
Yo, dawg. I herd you like Minecraft, so we put a computer with Minecraft in yo Minecraft so you can Minecraft in yo Minecraft while you Minecraft.
Truly, they are the pinnacle of all life-forms...

But in reality...they dance, they dance the stars away.

Lol, EA would be ashamed at such large release intervals.

Harbinger: Okay, I'm think of a person...

Reaper: Is it someone you want to kill?

Harbinger: Well I want to kill all life, so yea.

Harbinger: Okay, now I'm thinking of a per-

Reaper: Shepard?

They continuously calculate PI.....
They try to divide by 0....
They figure out how to put the caramel inside a Caramilk bar...
They resolve which came first....the chicken or the egg....
The chicken and the egg has been resolved. It was the chicken. The proteins required for forming a functioning egg shell can only be produced by being laid by a chicken. :p


... Yay reaper scientists?
...That makes no sense whatsoever. Clearly it was the egg in this pointless scenario that came 'first'

Wherein the egg is implied to be whatever form of reproductive method used upon the bridge from a previous species and what we might call chickens now. Given that avian ancestors were saurian, this more than likely leaves us with an egg.

That said, if you're going to take the chicken as a placeholder as well, then it came 'first'. As primordial life duplicated via binary fission, before eggs ever came around.
