Exactly. I had the idea for my story a long time ago, but sometime ago when we had some discussion in the thread of having some darker stories in overall sparked me to write it. To show and make people feel the rollercoaster.

Youare really trying to feed the muse, aren't you?
Top, and last post for a few hours of sleep time to recharge.  Remember folks:

The chirality issue is the big problem.  Although Miracle Mordin could probably fix that.  Even then....

Haha! Fix chirality!
Now, you may say that because quarians and humans looks so similair (in silouette, general facial structure (the lips, eye shape, etc.) and gender dimorphism, that is) all you'd have to do is "fix the chirality issue".
However, considering that chirality depends which way the DNA strand turns, human and quarian DNA is effectively mirrored. Now, considering both use amino-acids as a base, and assuming that both are dual-strand (We can't even know that for sure, perhaps quarians have triple-strand DNA. Like the Protheans have quad-strand.), both have the same number of chromosomes and both have the same length. We're going to assume they use the same method of arrangement (the Prothean DNA looked similair enough, and it's both referred to as -DNA-), it would effectively take a completely different structure to achieve the same traits in "mirror effect", so "fixing chirality" e.g. making them both levo, would result in something completely different.
So it would still require an immense ammount of engineering to create something remotely viable (and I don't even mean viable for impregnation, I mean viable to live when somehow succesfully implanted into an empty cell (yes, we can do that, we can do that right now)).

But hey, we've got the perfect engineer, no?
I'm sure she's proficient in other forms of engineering as well!

edit: Awwww, crud, I killed the thread, didn't I?

No, Tali, I'm sorry!

I find it funny that Ashley calls Shepard a god on Horizon.

Mother****er came back from the dead and kills dreadnoughts as part of his life's work.

Is there another word for someone like that?  

 

Yeah Optimus Mutha ****in Prime

If we were to make Mass Effect version of Band of Brothers, I can actually see Miranda fitting the role of Neidermeyer Dike.

I have a thing for emotional rollercoasters... Makes things more interesting. 

Without conflict, there can be no satisfaction when joy is attained.

Problem I have with this is that sometimes the rollercoaster goes on for so long that it ruins my enjoyment of the story.

Drama isn't the only thing to be had in a story. There's also romance, comedy, action, adventure...Drama alone doesn't sustain me. Character killing for the sake of Drama usually kills my will to read a story. The same is for contrived plot twists. When done for the sake of Drama/plot, it also kills my enjoyment of the story.

Note that I'm posting this from a reader's POV. For a reader, if you don't enjoy reading the story, it's pointless to keep reading it.

Band of Brothers? Bill Guarnere FTW! Too bad he gets his legs blown off.

G'day Tairis.
