Man, and I thought I was the only one who did that and laughed about it.

No, no, my friend.
We've all had the same 14-year-old mentality at some point or another.

Yes! Made it just in time for "Noir"...

Oh, and hi

[NuclearBuddha]

They say I should be dead, which might be true. I'm still deciding how to feel about it. The wrist is going to be okay, they tell me, though it's probably going to hurt for a long while. Given my other aches, something physical might be a nice change.

I'm only in the clean room for another day. Someone else needs the bed, so it's back into the suit for me. Can't have the Admiral's daughter malingering. It fits uncomfortably, mostly held together with omnigel at this point. The badly-fit glove is just the final insult. I need a new suit.

I rest in the Neema's sickbay for a while figuring that someone will be around for my report, but there must not be a big hurry. Surprisingly, it's Prazza who comes to see me. He helps me up from the bed, grasping my over-large grey replacement glove with his own black-gloved hand.

"Tali," he says, not quite looking at me, "I just want to say I shouldn't have doubted your calculations. You saved us. I made sure that was in the report." What he's saying should infuriate me, but that's not what's got my attention.

The gloves. The jumble of the past weeks suddenly fits, an airtight seal coming together.

Guessing what I'm looking at, Prazza tucks the hand with the mismatched glove under his arm. A standard black glove, not grey like the rest of his suit.

"The glove, Prazza," I say quietly.

He unfolds his arms and tilts his head, daring me to go on.

"You didn't replace it. Proud, are you?"

"I'd expect more thanks for saving your life," his voice is petulant, a child caught hacking the nursery vid.

"So Noveria, too, right? Guess you knew we should have been in a hurry to leave. Why, Prazza?"

He stares back coolly, but I've been cowed by the best. Nobody short of my father is making me look away. In the end, Prazza's the weaker.

"Why, Prazza?"

"For the Flotilla!" he shouts, mustering the courage to look back at me, "I did it for the Flotilla! Why sell the eezo? That's all we do, trade scraps to people who hate us. We could have learned from it ourselves. Why don't you understand? We can be more! Greater than the other races! You're going to lead us someday, I know it! So lead us! I... I did this all for you! You! So you would..."

"Prazza, no. You're a monster if you think you can kill your way out of being a quarian."

His whole stance changes. Gone is the pleading, the need for affirmation. Expectations betrayed, he looms dangerously, head lowered like a charging krogan. Someone else entirely could be wearing his suit now, for all I know. I wonder for a moment if this is how the people he killed saw him.

"I thought you were your father's daughter," his voice scrapes, "what should you care about outsiders? It's true, then, isn't it? You almost went native on your pilgrimage, and for that human."

He couldn't have shut me up better by planting a fist in my gut. I... is it true? And what if it is?

You've also made it in time for the slowest I've ever seen this forum at this hour.

I think something fun is going on that I wasn't invited to. 

[Shadowomega23]

Fyi, Buddia this is why I would like to take Tali there.

Whoa, very nice!  I love the mountains.  My wife and I drove over the top of Rocky Mt. Natl. Park at sunrise one time.  It was breathtaking.

Trolls.
I will never understand that mentality.
Must be the same people that etch curse words onto bathroom stalls.

Awesome. <_<

I never bothered to check anything before 10:30 at the earliest before because of how fast this thread used to move. I wanted to be able to read and reasponed to something without missing 3 pages to do it.

But if what I'm hearing about all of the daytime trolling is true, than I'm more proud than ever to be a night-shifter.

There are a few quarians on Freedom's Progress who would disagree, if they still could.

[RiptideX1090]

Who. Wait. What?



I had to read that one a few times...



So... Tali is wearing Prazza's glove? He knew where she was when she went to see Michel? He was the one who killed the buyers?



Am I reading that right?

The bullet-ridden corpses scattered around Freedom's Progress belies your arguement.

I see. And he did it for Tali? To keep the Eezo for themselves? He killed the Suns merc who showed up at Michel's too...

Why didn't he Take Tali with him after Michel stabilized her though?
