ok, now titanium, while i do sort of like the idea of a post mortum message from the parents explaining something to tali, the beginning part of that fic seems to imply that rael thought tali's mother was a moron, couldn't be a proper mother to her child ("confirming everything i suspected about her was right")

Yeah...

That didn't sound like Rael at all...

Not nearly cold enough.

You know it's not?

quarian ship, khelish is their language, you think it's ancient mandarin?

Khelish is their language?

That's like saying Mandarin is Humanity's language. You don't know those symbols are khelish anymore than I do. I always got the impression Khelish was an older root language from the way Legion talked about it.

Khelish is probably not their "official" language, but universal language. Kinda like English is ours.

So I see.

You guys think Tali likes to read stories?

The Book
Tali wiped her hands off on an oily rag after hours of repairing the Normandy’s hull with Ken, Gabby, and a few others. Her forearms were sore from the intense manual labor that she went through to help the Normandy out. She looked at her shaky arms and entered the elevator. The slight sense of vertigo sets in as the well elevator rises. Damn I am tired. Tali opens her omni-tool to check for messages, the holographic tool paints the dim elevator walls with its rather appealing hue. 1 new message. Her eyes flash with excitement as she opens the green tab.
Tali,
Stop by my room on the way up to Shepard’s cabin.
-Kasumi
 
“What could she possibly want,” Tali asked herself through a yawn. Her three fingered fist hit the big green 3. She walked out of the elevator and approached Kasumi’s door and knocked. The door hissed open and Tali peeked in. “Hello?”
“Tali, come in here for a moment,” Kasumi told her through a whisper. Tali placed her hands over her lap and walked in. “I know you are tired, but here, take this book as a gift from me to you.”
“Oh, well I have nothing to give you in return, wait.” Tali grabbed a 7mm wrench from her pocket. “Here, take this,” she quickly and nervously said handing her the tool. Kasumi chuckled and pushed it away.
“Tali, just take this,” she said laughing. Tali put the wrench back in her pocket and grabbed the book. Her twinkling eyes scanned the relic as she flipped it over in her hands scrutinizing it.
“Well thank you Kasumi, I…I don’t know what to say.” Tali barely got her sentence out through her stammering. “Well, I need to um, you know, get to bed,” she said through a yawn backing out of Kasumi’s private quarters clasping onto the book tightly with her three fingers.
 
Tali lounged on the couch in Shepard’s cabin with the lights dim. She leaned against the couch arm and had her legs tucked under her chin flipping through the yellowed pages of the book. No being able to understand anything in the book except for several colorful illustrations, Tali’s eyes flick up to the fish tank watching the fiery colored fish dart in and out of the kelp that peacefully swayed back and forth. Her head peeked over Shepard’s model case at the sound of a door hissing open. Shepard walked out of his bathroom toweling off his short hair.
“Oh Tali, didn’t see you there!”
Tali blushed and sat back down onto the couch staring at the old book.
“What are you doing there,” Shepard asked rounding the model case descending down the stairs. Tali looked up at him and shut the book.
“Oh nothing.” Shepard sat down next to her and eyed the book.
“I that one of Kasumi’s books?”
“Yeah, she gave it to me as a gift.” Shepard slipped his hand under the book and took it from Tali. A grin erupted on his lips. “I can’t read it though, it is in English.” Embarrassed, she looked down at the floor. “Can you um…read it to me?” She felt his arms snake around her waist pulling her closer to him. Tali leapt in his lap, hugged his muscular frame and leaned her head against his chest. An arm came around her back as he held the book in front of her face clearing his throat. He diamond like eyes sparked as they scanned the pictures on the pages along with the big text that Shepard found so amusing. “Go on, read it to me,” she anxiously whispered tapping his chest with an open hand.
“Okay, here we go.” He cleared his throat once more. “Rapunzel. Once upon a time…”
Tali listened to his voice rumble though his chest as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep dreaming about medieval stone towers and knights from a long lost age…

Yeah.  Did it all off-the-cuff for comedy purposes.  If I wanted to revise it, I'd go in and make the lines better, make him a REAL **** :V

wtf dude? just because he didn't really know how to show his love to tali doesn't mean he actually hated her and her mother.

Shepard: Dammit Tali! How did you get so good at this game?

Tali: What do you think we did for fun growing up on the Flotilla?

Garrus: Well... If I had nerve stimulators built into MY suit... I know what I'D be doing for fun... HA! Gotcha again Shepard!

Shepard: DAMMIT VAKARIAN! Stop spawn killing me! Also, you're disgusting.

Garrus: I'm just saying. Have you ever tried wearing armor this thick for weeks on end? Makes it hard to... ah... pop the heatsink.

Tali: Don't even get me started. At least your gear comes off without risk of death.

Shepard: You two scare me sometimes.

Garrus: Lighten up Shepard... now just... hold still... BOOM HEADSHOT!!!

Shepard: This is just plain unfair... you have to be cheating somehow!

Garrus: Shepard, I'm the motha****in' Archangel. I'm just that damn good.

Tali: Then explain why I have a higher score than you.

Garrus: Because you are sexually repressed and dont' get out enough.

Shepard: Low blow, man. Literally.

Game: ROUND OVER. QUARIANCUTIE61 WINS!

*Tali looks at Garrus, hands on her hips, a victorious smile evident in her body language*

Garrus: You're still repressed.

Tali: *looks at Shepard* Until later tonight.

Shepard:

Garrus: How come I never get any...

Shepard: You just can't compete with the Sheepdawg, Garrus.

Garrus: Shepard... please... don't ever call yourself the "Sheepdawg" again...

Tali: I think it's kind of cute. <3

GUDDAMIT STOP PULLING ME BACK IN!

holy sh*t... do you all think this way? do you all think that rael was really just a supreme dick bastard who didn't actually give a sh*t about tali and her mother? because if so i think i need to abandon you.

Did you read the Noir?

I think I made my views on Rael very clear in the Noir.

Guy was not the best father in the universe. Probably wasn't the worst. He cared, just did a pisspoor job of showing it. And why should you care what we think anyway?

well it was just a bit of an exaggeration and maybe a little self-serving but the general consensus i got from people there was that they thought he was a bastard who didn't care at all for them beyond his own goal of making the flotilla kick ass. that just doesn't play with the evidence i see in the game and clearly tali cared for him so why would you of all people defend them rune. i thought you were a tali zealot

It's not your fault. [/goodwillhunting]

This is decided so far for the Mass Effect roleplaying campaign adventure:



-Tali will be the GM. It will go about as well as her mission on Freedom's Progress.

-It's a generic fantasy game universe. Maybe based off of Final Fantasy for maximum annoyance.

-Confirmed classes: Samara is a paladin, Thane is a priest, Grunt is a barbarian, Garrus is an archer/gunner. Miranda might be a mage.

-Hijinks primed to ensue.

[BigKahuna25]

ok, fine, look it's not that i think rael was a good father, because he clearly wasn't. its just that you seem to take that to imply that he didn't care and didn't care for his family the best way he thought he could.

The miserable son of a bitch was so utterly disconnected from his daughter, he was sending her on suicide runs into geth space, he couldnt' even tell her he loved her, not even before he died. Jona's mother managed that much, he could have said something, he had time to turn and run.

Explain.  SO I CAN TOP THEM.

[BigKahuna25]

and riptide, no i did not read noir. i don't really read any extended fanfics. even here in the thread i tend to only skim the minifics that are long enough too dominate the screen. i'm not really sure about the mentality (other than laziness) on that but part of it is it isn't really part of the actual universe anyway.

I remember someone saying they were doing a fic with the ME2 characters playing D&D, or something. I unno...

Whatever. I don't even know if they went through with it.

Well, I'm not going to spend the evening trying to convince you of anything.

Short Version: I hate Rael.

Well, mine will probably be done in short bursts like the Inquisitor thing so I don't get uninterested.  Though I'll do my best to make the best first (and only) drafts I can out of it :V
