You know the part that always seemed funny to me, after the bad guys rebuild you but your team medic says the chip in your head wasn't turned on so you're still completely trustworthy -- but over the course of the next level every squadmate who teams up with you disappears or gets killed, including said medic (IIRC), and yet nobody in Rhino squad starts wondering if maybe he was wrong about that chip. Of course when you get back to base everyone does, and they don't even know that in the intervening time you actually killed your squad leader! Really feels to me like the Strogg were trying to set you up so that, if they can't have you, at least you won't be trusted enough to reach your potential against them -- but the humans are such idiots they don't even notice.

I always wondered why the strogg dont just send a wireless signal to turn on the doohicky in his brain whenever he goes near the strogg or one of their facilities again.

[@talwal1400]

I think the neurocyte activation process is a complex and delicate procedure and requires special equipment as well as close proximity to the subject. They do use a big ass machine to do it after all. The human surgeons also maybe did something to turn it off indefinitely when they examined him even if they weren't able to remove it.

[@oatmealman1586]

The strogg were created as a last ditch effort to defend the unfortunate settlers of strogos from the natives after the quake incident, which meant they had to cobble together whatever they had on hand. Of course, the strogg were commanded by an AI, so when the actual settlers died off, the strogg remained and had no leaders and scientists to improve their methods, so they're stuck in a constant state of war since the AI doesn't realize it doesn't need to continue.

[@ceu160193]

@@oatmealman1586 It's not how their history goes. They changed themselves into cyborgs to survive their planet's pollution, and when birth rate dropped to zero, declared war on whole universe to collect biomass and preserve their race that way.

[@MrAdamske]

@@talwal1400 Id argue since they are grunts and expendable its cant be that complex to activate their neurocyte's. I mean look at how they turn you into a strogg ffs lmao. Though it totally makes sense that the surgeons and techs on the Hannibal would have neutralised it to prevent any kind of activation. Never thought of that till now lol.

[@talwal1400]

@@MrAdamske Yeah they're grunts but remember that they're the highest tier of grunt there is and one of the only type of strogg that excels at working as part of a unit/squad. The strogg copied this squad aspect from humanity since it was so successful. In order to work like that some higher physical and mental capabilities have probably been left in as opposed to the common almost mindless grunt. It stands to reason that perhaps it's not as easy as controlling/activating/deactivating the common soldier. Also during the cinematic bit of the stroggification process they use a stationary big machine that looks like it needs to be in close proximity to the subject. Whether a controlled environment like that is required or not for activation we can only speculate. Perhaps they never thought any elite would actually not fully undergo the stroggification process and therefore be able to defect and so they never bothered with safety procedures I dunno.
