She won´t get past Tali, I know that alredy. And I still have a bad feeling about her plans. It would be nice if it worked, but I fear it might lead to another Alarei episode or eventually, after the Geth are again under Quarian control, a new Geth uprising.

We shall see about that in ME3, and if Tali and most of the Quarians are against her plans, so am I.

Well, she's not going to pull an Alarei, because before you head there, she says to Tali "If you and Rael were really experimenting on live geth in such a confined space, then you are simply idiots" or something similair.

"If you and Rael were experimenting on active Geth subject, you are simply idiots."

Yeah, that.
Besides, she is immensely protective of the Flotilla (Han says this, I believe), she won't risk a ship or it's inhabitants for her research.
This is why she's so upset when you reveal the evidence, it makes the people afraid, and won't allow her to perform her research in a relative(ly safe) open enviroment.

As long as it´s nothing as risky as avarage Cerberus research or Raels work, I´m fine.

Hell, if incompetent and idiotic Cerberus can control the geth, (but not the VI) I wouldn't be surprised if Xen's plans actually works. She's a quarian after all.

Cerberus research, risky?  No!

If Xen puts someone non-volunteer into same situation as David was in Overlord, I object.

Jun'ko? I would've thought she'd be interested in Trent Joker.

I have considered it on multiple occasions.
I'm still undecided, but I am leaning more heavily towards Kal, Jun'ko needs some quarian lovin' too.

Also, I think I can revise my theory of Mass Effect's morality system: "Be polite. Be efficent. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet." Shepard is a Marine, after all.

Good work on the morality system quote.
Though personally I have this division:
-Moronic Paragon: Blowing up Collector Base (My hate for Cerberus has grown enough for me to retract this earlier claim), pissing Tali off (in ME1 by saying the Quarians deserved their fate, in ME2 by saying that she should just give up hope on getting Rannoch back), etc.
-Heroic/nice Paragon: Most other decisions, telling C-sec to back off from Lia, etc.
-Boring Neutral: Most decisions
-Thoughtful/nice Neutral: Accepting Tali, telling her you're willing to wait as long as it takes (rather than "Captain's orders")
-Logical Neutral: Focussing on Sovereign
-Tactical Renegade: Taking the easy way out, necessary evil, most decisions (Also, killing Fist yourself, at first I presumed "Big consequences" meant letting a vengeful crime lord who might want to go after you/Tali live was a bad decision)
-Evil, baby orphan kicking, Renegade: Telling Garrus to **** off, treating Tali like some filthy alien, giving the evidence from the Alarei

Seems that I'm not the only one who gets messed by you! Hah, seriously lol'd at both pics. 

And not to derail the comment-section from your fic, Buddha, I'll just put this in here rather.

@Thel: The ballistics are arguable, if only because it's not clear just what would happen at the speeds described in the ME universe. However, I don't think even a penetrator is going to do much more than dump all its kinetic energy into the immediate area of the stone it strikes. As for why he'd have that kind of ammo loaded, assume he didn't have time to grab something more appropriate from the armory. I think Earthborn Sheps are described as being on "shore leave" when the Blitz hits.

Yes, as much as I suspected about . And you could cover it with explaining how the stone material was actually very tightly compressed gravel/sand which would pulverise from impact with a enough force behind it, or anything like that. But I was actually after how the AP-ammo, shaped like a sharp needle would pierce everything quite easily, and leaving a slightly larger exit hole.

And yes, Earthborn were on shore leave.

[NuclearBuddha]

Shoot, TT. I guess I'm a Moronic Paragon.

[Savakka1]

@Thundertactics. I agree with those point, and I would never hand Collector Base to Cerberus, maybe to Council or The Migrant Fleet, but not to Cerberus *Reference to Cerberus work safety* And I also think that their methods and goals are wrong.

I think Cerberus are on the right track and I am sure that they know what they are doing. It's not like they had to disable an entire facility in order to--
 
Oh....wait...

I'd thought about describing it as "ornamental sandstone" rather than just "ornamental stone."  Maybe if I go back and do an edit I'll change it.

AP ammo is going to do its thing on what it was intended to work against:  armor.  Against non-intended targets, I'll continue to assume that its effects will vary.

Oddly enough, the most Renegade baby kicking thing i've ever done was with a Paragon character.

I got Liara as the last mission in Mass Effect, right before Ilos. It's hilarious.

EDIT: Looks like someone else found this funny too.

Sandstone would work greatly, I think.

My simple mind likes to think that, more softer the target is, easier it will penetrate it. Actually I have a good picture to make my point out.

This shows how a 30mm target practice ammo went through the tree like nothing. And it was a solid "slug", when the AP ammo used by larger caliber are always in the shape of a needle, to get maximum velocity with minimal air resistance. (IIRC)

Or actually, now to think about a large boulder when shot by those ammo-types. The AP-rounds would make it crack, they wouldn't "drill" into it, me thinks.

Different size/type ammo, different material being hit.  That's about all I have to say, since we're well-off topic.

[Someone With Mass]

So...what about that chin tube?

Yes, you're right. Sorry for the incoherent rambling.

They were pretty much anything but concealed in ME1.

Even Sovereign used AP rounds, and some believed that it was a energy beam. Pretty fast projectile.
