Nah, it's Charge.

Ah. Respecting the shotgun and it gives her the ability to use biotics at the same time.

Clever girl...

TT. I hope you're going to like the lenght of my next chapter. I think the plotline I had reserved for the chap 4 needs to be broken down to two chapters. Whoops!

Yes, Tali, I would like some more from Thelacan. :B

It doesn't. Their hands are perfectly capable of making a bowl.

Have you seen the spacing between those fingers?
*talicrackingfingerssnip*

Or they could lay the fingers of one hand on top of the other, and then form a bowl. Works just as good.

That's pretty much what we do, and even then a ****-ton of water seeps through.
If, like all mammals on earth have 5 digits per paw, all mammal(-analogue)s on Rannoch have 3, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense if they wouldn't maintain either some sort of webbing in between them or a prehensile tongue.
And it wouldn't make sense for the quarians to lose this trait either.

So unless they cut the webbing (or genetically engineer it out of their DNA) between their fingers (which could very well be the case, less fragile surface area to be infected in their suits and possibly teared), I'm going for a larger tongue.

And this whole surface area thing for fingers isn't just for drinking, it's for swimming too, though that could be less of an issue if Rannoch is really that much more arid than Earth (or at least has less surface water).

So, if the tongue theory is true...Tali's kisses and the... um... other thing are awesome.

You use your palm to hold water anyway.

Okay, I'm going to ask you to form the most efficient bowl you can using your fingers.
...
Now, imagine you lacked the two center ones extending from the top of your palm (so excluding your thumb), the two left can now become slightly longer and slightly thicker.
What would happen to that bowl of yours?

It got slightly smaller.

Dextro-ice cream?

Hmm...

Frozen nutrient paste with flavoring seems more likely...

Not as cute...

Nothing, your using your palm remember.

I like how you think!

Okay, we're going with the tounge then. I haven't seen anything of Tali that supports or disproves this theory, so I'm just going to roll with it.

Alright guys I'm peacing out for a bit.

Anyone consider that maybe they just lean in close an suck up the water? It's very easy to do.

It's really suprising how often I get to use this one...

Indeed.


Shepard knows more about this than anyone of us. Lucky bastard...

I'm trying to prove that you're not just using your palm.

Any less efficient than that would leave no reason to abandon your larger tongue.
I think it's safe to assume Tali's evolutionary ancestors did not always have thumbs the way they do now or walked on two legs, and again, it's safe to assume these used their tongue to drink water. (Or some messed up organic straw thingy )

With their less efficient bowl, they have no reason to abandon this trait like our species did.
