Just as a side note, I'm currently doing a Sheploo (Renegade Vanguard) playthrough, with Fraps set up to take 1 screenshot per second. The goal is to do the same as Ashira, and either upload them to a photobucket account, or zip them up and upload to a file hosting service.
Just finished the Prologue, over 2000 screenies captured. Just going through them and purging out the badly framed and other crap shots. Will take me a week or two to finish doing it, as I'll be doing one or two missions per night, and then tidying up.
If you have the free time, you could arrange them into a warp-speed video of the playthrough and whack it up on youtube. Like when people do those '1 picture a day for a year' vids.

Duku set up a scenario where it was either save kenobi and aniken, or take out duku. When samara encountered Nihlus, he used the same method to escape.

Oh, OK. See I'm playing KOTOR and soon I'll play KOTOR II (both for the 3rd time), and I thought of Darth Nihlus, not Nihlus the Spectre.
P.S. I think Bioware is running out of names, and that there's a motivator somewhere in this...

great, I have an idea for a motivator, but I need my printscreen key and it ISN'T WORKING!!!
(I have no idea why)

An pro-human and near anti-alien clandestine group monitoring their influence on humanity.
A covert organization that polices and ensure that any aliens on earth follow their established laws.
Oh, yeah, and both groups tend to shoot aliens.

also K only ever makes up decent fake names for himself while he simply introduces J as dr. white or agent black which always nets him a weird look from J in return lol. and jacob seems predestined for the occasional colored joke too

^ And yet, I approve.
I'm also getting shafted on my pancakes.

Okay this was on the talimancer thread! All the talimancers just go with it and were truly intersted.
A while ago, I created thesis on Clan Zorah regarding quarian sweat, etc. I'll post it here with some post-scriptum edits and abridging, it was created over the course of approximately 40 minutes. In several posts.
It started off as an analysis of Tali's sweat, trying to figure out what it'd smell and taste like. I quickly realised that most scents originate from bacteria, which would be minimal to non-existant for quarians.
The next best thing, would be urea. Urea is essential for the metabolism of mammals, and also a bonding agent (For say, p-cresol and o-cresol, two odor chemicals found in sweat. Though these likely aren't available to quarians), and it, and residues of the amino acids and chemicals used in its production are excreted through many different ways. Urine, sweat, etc.
This thesis assumes quarians are anything like mammals back on earth and have a digestive system at least remotely similar to theirs.

One of the main components of sweat, urea, is not affected by chirality, it cannot have a mirrored/dextro version:
The scent it is associated with is derrived from residues of ammonia excreted along with it, which is a by-product of the production of urea.
Now, here's the deal, urea requires a ton of amino acids in order to be produced (levo amino acids, obviously), a short summary from Wikipedia:
Hence, this could result in a significantly different smell and composure of both her sweat, and other urea based excretions.
The urea cycle:
You see that "Arg" thing right below Urea on the urea cycle? Yeah, it stands for L-Arginine, you can get the dextro version through a largely similar cycle. It's an extremely mild neuro-toxic, pretty much a relaxing drug, a depressant, though excessive usage would actually result in additional stimulations, a stimulant.
A member of Clan Zorah, Troodon80, claims to have had personal experience with the substance as a depressant, and states that it is, in fact, addictive.
Additionally, the dextro version of "Asp" (stands for L-Aspartate), in order for it to be soluble like it's levo counterpart, it would likely bond with sodium, resulting in Sodium D-Aspartate, which is a natural performance enhancer [2], it massively increases the human body's production of testostorone, also resulting in an increased libido.
Finally, Orn, stands for L-ornithine. This amino acid allows for the disposal of excess nitrogen.
Dextro version of this is largely similar in role, except for the fact that it is far more prone to create a hydrogen bond. (Including with molecules like ammonia, NH3)
Hence, it would demobilize the ammonia and eliminate the odor eminated from the production of urea to quite an extent.
So, so far, we can tell that Tali would not smell nearly as bad as those filthy humans, her sweat's a drug and a natural performance enhancer.
As for additional odors , that would be determined by MHC's and pheromones, which are too large and complex to even consider estimating with the limited knowledge we have at this time. Though the production of MHC's is also a key component of our immunesystem, so they might be considerably less common for quarians. (They might even have something completely different altogether)is time.

Remember, this is largely speculation, and I am by no means an expert, merely an enthusiastic amateur, so if you think there's anything you can change or debunk of my theory, be my guest. I'd be eager to learn.
But if you do agree, here's a question for ya': Licking Tali or licking Thane? >_>

Urea is synthesized in the body of many organisms as part of the urea cycle, either from the oxidation of amino acids or from ammonia. In this cycle, amino groups donated by ammonia and L-aspartate are converted to urea, while L-ornithine, citrulline, L-argininosuccinate, and L-arginine act as intermediates
