I don'rt know, Kasumi was able to procure alot of books in hard copy

She did admit they were quite expensive. Takes up space, too. Wonder if Tali would take the luxury, but in my personal image of her, she wouldn't.

I dont think she would either. Growing up on the Migrant Fleet, where resources are scarce, she would feel guilty about having them.

This has a horrible OP, I understand that some people were anxious to get the new thread up themselves, but leave it to the people who are closest to the OP's or who have been OP's.

Other than that, being an oldie of the Tali threads, I hope you folks keep this as on-topic as possible. Good luck!

dude he'll update it soon. sheesh <_<

I don't care if he will, an OP should already have it done, instead of leaving a note saying "out to find the OP, be back later!". To me it seems this OP just wanted to win the race to making the OP, shouldn't be like that.

Continue, while I play the fantastic game that is Supremacy 1914

How the heck are ya?!

Doing good.  A bit perturbed by the change in locale, but at least this will allow us to have an OP who updates it correctly (hint hint).

You seem especially happy to see me.  May I inquire as to why?  Or are you just in some gloriously happy mood?

Well, I'm out. Try to keep this thread alive, guys.

Also: considering how bad standard rations are, one could argue that Tali gets the better end of the deal for foodstuffs on the Normandy.

Dining In

I think everything is right. Hope Garrus was right, Shepard thought to himself. He looked around the cabin. Cleaned and sterilized. Check. Lighting lowered for a more intimate atmosphere. Check. He looked over at the two plates.

Both were sealed in a sterilized bubble. Straight from a restaurant on the Citadel. After checking over some of the food tube Tali seemed to prefer, Shepard had ordered their equivalents from a quality turian restaurant. Then sterilized and sealed before delivery to the ship. He hoped it worked.

"Decontamination Complete."

Shepard looked up as Tali entered their cabin. With Ken and Gabby still off ship on leave, he knew she would be tired. He hoped his surprise would put a smile on her face.

"Hey beautiful," he said to his quarian as the commander stood to greet her. "Long day?"

Tali nodded tiredly as she walked further into the cabin. She stopped, when she saw the settings. "John?"

He smiled. "I figured you could use a good meal. And, it's been a while since we had a chance to just relax together."

Glance softening, her gaze turned warm. "That sounds nice. Let me get out of this suit, and I'll join you." She headed to the wardrobe and pulled a garment out. As she passed on her way to the bathroom, she caressed her commander on the shoulder.

He chuckled; ever since Mordin had confirmed her adaption to both himself and their cabin, Tali almost always got out of her suit as fast as possible. Not that he blamed her.

Hearing the door open, he looked up. And stared. The lithe engineer had opted to wear the white dress shirt that came with the suit he wore on Bekenstein. And, from what he could tell, nothing else.

Shepard could feel his face flushing, and had to resist the urge to adjust himself. For all the times he had seen her dress like this - it seemed his shirts were her preferred clothing outside of her suit - it never failed to stir his passions and warm his heart.

"See something you like, Captain?" She purred out as she sauntered closer.

"Only you," he answered. He visibly fought with himself to return his gaze to her eyes where it had been locked on her smooth legs. He held out a hand.

"Join me for dinner, miss Vas Normandy?"

She took his hand and let her captain lead her to the couch. She sat, and he joined her on the couch. With as much flair as he could, he opened both of the trays, revealing the food. Her reflective eyes widened.

"John?"

He smiled. "I pulled a couple of strings. I hope you like it Tali."

With a smile of her own, she grabbed a utensil and grabbed a bite of the food. Her eyes widened. After swallowing, she grabbed a larger bite before turning to him.

"This tastes even better than the rations I normally eat!"

"Glad you like it," Shepard replied, digging in to his own meal.

Due to the sterilization, it was a little bland, but still better than what Gardner could normally produce. They ate in companionable silence, broken only by Tali's occasional exclamation of delight in her meal. When they were finished, Shepard took the plates and took them to the disposal in the restroom.

Returning to the main room, he found Tali laid out in the bed, curled around one of the pillows. Her eyes watched him, a predatory gleam in her eyes as he joined her on the bed.

"What now, John?" she asked "However can I thank you for such a wonderful meal?"

The human smiled softly at her. "I think first, you need a massage," he answered as he reached for one of the legs that had gotten his attention earlier. As he began to rub, Tali hmm'd her pleasure as he worked over her calf. As he grasped a foot and began needing it gently, he smirked.

"And after this," he said, warmth and desire in his voice, "dessert."

I think it got lost under Red's snippet.

I don't know  I think its a universal law that Every woman likes to be spoiled a little bit by there man.   Even  Tali.. of course this would all depend on the Quarian  idea of  Romance  which could be anything.  NOW that is something Bioware needs to go into, if you romance and Alien what about  cultural differences?

As Tali stated: "I don't think life is about what you deserve" I think she would be happy was long as it was something that wasnt offensive. She probably would enjoy something practical, something that she would use, again, because of her quarian upbringing.

I think gifts would be considered frivolous bits of fancy to quarians (in my own personal ME universe). Probably the greatest gift you could give a quarian is time outside your suits.

Romeo was an idiot who fell in love with the concept of love, and not the person he was supposedly falling in love with. That would be the thing to turn Tali off, I think. She seems more like the "love them for them" kinda girl. I doubt Romeo and Juliet's romance would entertain her at all.

You must have written an essay about how Romeo and Juliet was about the folly of youthful romance versus the tragedy of love.

Well, that's the essay I wrote, at least.

I may have written a thing or two on it. Romeo was an idiot. Juliet was a ****, and both families were utter idiots who hated eachother for no discernable reason. How this play became as popular as it did is beyond me. The plot is like something of a bad Romance Drama film. Definately not the kind of thing I can see Tali enjoying. She seems more sophisticated than that. I bet she'd love a movie like Titanic. Two people meet on a ship, have a wild time together... and it ends with the man dying...

Or the original little mermaid book, and how humans should stay with humans, and merpeople with merpeople, and how a romance between the two would be foolish, and end in tragedy.

 

While being  amazing deep and thought provoking, i can't shake the sinking feeling that these would do nothing more than just put her into a depression.  Especially  Titanic  really   the man she loves dying on a ship and she living the rest of her life grieving him. Don't you  think that might hit a little too close home ... ya know  SR - 1,  Collectors , Shepherd being spaced and dying.

Salutations, sir.  I have never played awakening, primarily because I cannot gamefly it. Also, I'm not sure if you noticed it, but your entry in The Guide got a little longer, thanks to some gentle prodding from Buddha & Company.

Personal projects:

Find Tali sexy/exotic/beautiful/shiny jewelry and accessories for her suit.

Custom build her a shotgun with Spectre Grade Mods that are illegal without a liscense.

Shower her with hugs, kisses on her mouthpiece and suit, cuddling, snuggling, and only the best foodpaste on the market, preferably, the rare meat and fish kind that quarians love so much.

Yes, cultural differences must be taken into account. You cannot assume that someone from an alien culture would be moved by unnecessary luxury gifts motivated by decadent human customs. An alien accustomed to acting with the good of a deprived whole in mind might even be insulted by such a gesture, were they not aware of the intent behind it.

Some of the best stories are the ones without happy endings. The message from Titanic would be clear to her. Woman loses person she loves, but finds life in it. She goes on to live a long, full life, while never forgetting the person that opened her to the wonders of the universe. This applies to Tali and to Rose.

Considering I can get a pretty decent vegetarian breakfast sausage, I bet there's some excellent food paste out there for quarians.

There's a correlation in there somewhere.

Speaking of SPECTRE shotguns, playing ME1 today really showed how much of badass Tali is.  Two enemies were stand side by side, each with 3 shield bars and each using the "turn my HP bar white and make me hard to kill" skill they seem to pick up late in the game.  With my assault rifle, I start banging away at one, whittling down his health over the period of about 5 seconds.  Tali, apparently seeing this, comes up and finished the one I am shooting at off with a 'Carnage' blast from her shotgun.  She then turns on the other one, AND DROPS THE GUY IN A SINGLE GLORIOUS BLAST OF BUCKSHOT.

Needless to say, I reevaluated my weapon specialization choices...

[Andaius20]

I'm pretty sure in the far future we can mimic tastes pretty well too.

I've always assumed food paste is just like nutritional pudding personally.  If they can go faster than light, they can make pudding nutritious dammit

I actually would believe Tali would find Romeo and Juliet to be a very fascinating story that she may even enjoy. Tali is not strictly analytical sort, I seriously doubt she would look at a story and dissect it to try and find what it means to her, I think she would be more attentive to what the story itself is; a tragic romance. If you actually believe Romeo and Juliet was ever a story of idealistic romance, then you are naive. The story was meant to be dark, it was meant to ground such a wild fantasy in realism. It was a light, fluffy story that takes a grim turn, and crushes what was apparent to be fate.

It's morbid, but I do believe Tali would appreciate that the story was to show that not all love ends in fantasy and dreams. It would show her how tragic it can become, for something as frail as love to be destroyed by any event. This sort of message would show that her own love would have to be special, it needs so mean something more to her than an idea. It would tell her that love, true love, must be sought and not given. If she can not suffer the duress of a tragic story, how would she go through what is happening now?

Of course spending hours and resources  figuring out a way for her to smell a rose with out having to be in her suit or feel a warm breeze on her  face.  You she did mention about how envious she is  about how humans and others can live with suits. I willing  going out on limb and say she  would enjoy greatly if found away to put a really glamorous dress at least for one  and actually feel beautiful outside her suit.
 
I may be  crazy i just have this sinking feeling that she does not see herself as being well attractive, just a thought

Vegetarian substitutes can taste as good as the real thing. Considering the technology of the future, who's to say nutrient paste doesn't excite sensations of culinary ecstasy?

I suppose my mood is a little elevated from neutral, but that's only because I'm wearing this fancy tie. . .
