Alliance wants the action to succeed as they are the one with the fleet that will get affected, Revy? not as much.

There is also the issue that a massive military arms race would increase galactic tension and make it easier for the Reapers to start a war before they even arrive.

I wonder, if we can find solid evidence of the Reapers, could we convince the Council to stage a falling out between themselves and Humanity as a pretext for a military buildup so as to not tip off the Reapers while we arm up and distribute mind shields far and wide?

The council being the council, I'd put more faith in trying to save Harper from indoctrination so that Cerberus can actually contribute in all its mad science N.G.O. superpower glory instead becoming traitors.
For starters go down the brain shield tree and leak it as much as possible, find a way to proliferate it.

Ild just like to throw out there that while we know the reapers are coming, no one in universe really does. Yeah, Liara found that message but theres nothing to point to the cycle, most people would latch onto to the idea of a war of mutual annihilation. Which means that while we're pushing for all this build up cause we know to everyone else it will look either Revy is paranoid for coming to such a conclusion or that Revy is looking to go warlord. We've just seen the council getting antsy enough to rework the treaty, and now some in the SA are considering that scenario for themselves. It may be best to slow down on construction until we have some evidence of what the Reapers are.

It could serve as a protection against Asari Mind Melds, which are known to extract information from minds if done right. I can see the intelligence community, oligarchs, criminals, and various paranoids going for it.

We don't need everyone to start using it right away, we just need it public enough that Jack and Saren become aware of it and leave it insecure enough for them to gain access to it. They, after all, know that indoctrination is possible. That's manageable. We could include it as part of program on prothean tech, say we're trying to ease accessibility to their damaged information caches or something.

hmmm... we want some level of build up to prepare for the reapers. Revi want's enough buildup for the SA to properly deal with the bartarians, using the SA's superior tech and industry.
Council members are unlikely to let the SA get a higher ratio for the dreadnoughts.
So turn the problem on it's head.
Get the Turrians to commit to an temporary overall increase in the number of dreadnoughts and size of their fleet, but not as part of the treaty.
All parties get some slack to build a new core of ships based on the new paragon developments, without having to mothball a large portion of their fleets as they do so. Turrians get a larger fleet to patrol council space with, better maintain order. SA can build a larger fleet for the duration of the war, better leveraging their superior industry over the bartarians.
Once the turrians get their new core of ships built, and the SA-bartarian war is winding down, they can decommission old outdated ships to bring ship totals down to what they think are reasonable efforts. And as Paragon is likely to keep developing new stuff, everyone will have to decrease the size of their fleets to remain competitive, so their fleets will be forced to shrink.

Hey, were we ever serious about Hanar power armor? Because I'd totally be down to make a custom suit variation for them, and maybe the Drell too. Although they can probably just use human suits fine.
(And maybe a custom Krogan variant for our buddy researcher)
I also vote we should let Mordin work on converting the genetic research for Salarians first, just cause.

Wait, diameter squared? But volume, and thus mass, goes up with diameter cubed. That means we'd get more power out of a bunch of smaller reactors than out of one large one the same size.

My takeaway from the start of the war is that the Batarians went hard on the recovered reaper wreck they have, and so their leadership got indoctrinated earlier plus got access to some of their tech goodies. That's how they were able to kinda match SA industry/tech in those opening shots as well as get so close to those targets. Also I only recently got into shepard quest, does anyone know by Word of God or not that we'll only be fighting reapers? Like back when picking the original powers also chose an additional enemy ( so a high chance to deal with Zion and the endbringers) of Thanos here sonce we chose super engineer Stark.

I really enjoyed this, but you need a beta to clean up things that you're not seeing while you write, as is normal for all authors. I recommend tossing the chapter into google docs and using the suggestion function. Here are some quick fixes:
Should be 'peek', peaks are mountain tops. Also 'attempted', story is past tense.
You switch between 3rd and 2nd person here. Stories have to pick one or the other and keep to it throughout.
Double 'known', should be something like 'every material and element known to the galaxy'.
Should be 'You got to'. Had is extraneous here.
If the following word starts with a vowel sound you need to use 'an', rather than 'a'. Should be 'and an easily synthesized'.
Should be 'to develop'. Sentence structure is a little awkward.
Looks like a sentence that got changed halfway through. I suggest 'You knew that people would demand that you sell it to them for use in war.'
Awkward. I suggest something like 'It did not make for a pleasant mental image.'
Run on sentence, and a bit awkward at points. I suggest: 'Even the largest of cities would require only a few hundred reactors to meet all their power needs.'
Should be something like 'It took many reassurances'.
Extraneous 'and' and awkward phrasing. Should be 'Jack was snoring away at the end of the night after a few games of biotic ball'
Should be 'with an equally smug'.
Missing a word. Should be 'Jack is now part of the family'.

I mean, our goals are smashing the batarians and a multi generational occupation, untill they manage to behave like adults. Protecting slavers can't be internally popular, right?

main reason they never got squashed was no definitive proof that they were the ones doing raiding, only that they owned and bought slaves from raiders. which was not enough of a reason to start a war that might drag in all the terminus independents as well.
Normally if the races are worried about System Alliance military supremacy I would suggest that we have the SA bring in the possibility of opening up arms trade with the Turians.
Them building more advanced technologies on par with the SA would be a double of making them want to be able to use the technology and give Paragon Industries more money from the licensing fees.
Because the way I see it if the Turians and the SA are coming to blows there is an even bigger issue and the Turians will probably be the ones handling the bulk of the Reaper invasion when they come given their role and all.
