How did Cerberus know where Tali was anyway?

TIM knew to keep an eye on her.

...Bastard.

Anybody else kind of spooked that Cerberus has Tali's code phrase for access to the Flotilla?

A bullet to the face for a few people will end that problem

I have thought about that maybe they changed it after the trail.

I bet she changed it once she came aboard the Rayya.

Can't be too safe with them Cerberus folks.

I never bought that "You're Shepard" BS.

I've never thought of it that way. Shepard is a lost donkey and I'm the man with a carrot on a stick, just leading the way back home.

That's a nice ideal, Shepard.

Yeah, Tali's a clevah gurl.
She found out about the bugs pretty quickly, no way she'd let something like that slip. (Unless all the stress really got to her)

Shepard will literally have sex with anything. Especially Femshep.

I'm not picky.

Character matters. Not race, or gender.

I'm kinda torn between wanting to see her face or keeping the mystique. Only Shep knows her true face, why not let that be something unknowable to the rest of us?

Because that destroys any remaining game immersion for one.  Its hard enough to actually pretend that you're Shep without stuff like Bioware not showing her face for no discernable reason.

I just don't get the mystique argument.  Anyone who romanced Tali obviously liked everything else about her enough.  Once she takes off the mask, the mystique is gone.  Manufacturing it for the player just adds two seperate romance arcs.  The Shep one, where he falls in love with Tali, she reveals her face, he doesn't care what she looks like, and then whatever.  And the player arc:  where its the same, but Tali remains a mystery forever.  I just don't see how manufacturing that second arc helps do anything besides make fans smash their heads into walls.

Where is that fic I did...?

...Ok, to placate the masses, I'm sure Bioware will throw in a little showing of her face. Although, if you had a LI in ME1, and romanced Tali in ME2, then it might not be shown...Agh, why can't the year fly by when I want it to?

I know what TIM has done to quarians in the past. He could might as well came up with some bulls**t excuse to take Tali away without Shepard knowing anything of it.

Hmm, this might be what happens if you don't recruit her on Haestrom... >_>

Right up to the point where Shep finds out and tears the galaxy several new ones to get her back.

if we only have to wait a year, we might have to wait more for all we know.

Tali: Shepard? Is...Is that you? Your Alive?

I can work with this.

---

"You two, back to the Kodiak. I want a moment alone."

Looking at eachother hesitantly, Miranda and Jacob slowly nodded and turned, walking back to the landing zone without the Commander. Miranda watched Shepard out of the corner of her eye as she left, clearly uncomfortable with the Commander not being under her vigilant gaze. As the pair rounded the corner, Shepard walked back to the small spaceport where the quarians had landed. The wounded and the dead had already been loaded onto the shuttle.

"I thought you were leaving." Tali's voice was neutral as she fastened the buckles to secure Veetor to his chair for lift off.

"Geth space?" Shepard's voice was laced with concern.

"I'm sorry Shepard. Cerberus can't be trusted." Tali wasn't looking at him, apparently triple checking Veetor's belts.

"Miranda and Jacob are gone." Shepard's voice was soft. "It's just us."

Tali stopped fidgeting with the buckle and turned to face Shepard. "You're Cerberus now, too." Clearly the initial shock of discovering her old captain was still alive was wearing off. Shepard sensed a taste of bitterness. He hung his head low.

"I'm sorry Tali. I just woke up this morning to find out I've been medically dead for two years. It's been a lot to take in."

Tali fidgeted with her hands. "I know. It's just..." She shook her head slowly. "... I can't tell you. I'll join you if I get through my next assignment."

Shepard crossed his arms. "In geth space. Tali, you know how dangerous that is. Let me come with you. I can help."

Tali gazed into Shepard's eyes for a moment, before tracing them over his fresh scars, glowing faintly in the darkness.

"I'm sorry Shepard. Not this time. I'm still getting used to the fact that you're even alive. If I find anything that can help you, I'll send a message." Tali turned and walked towards the cockpit. "Be careful out there Shepard. Keelah Se'lai."

Shepard stood frozen as the doors to the shuttle closed. It was fair. Tali had spent two years thinking he was dead. Expecting her to join him after finding out otherwise, that he was working with a terrorist group that had apparently attacked her people, was childish. Maybe she was angry with him. Tali had never struck him as passive aggressive, but the fact remained, a lot had changed in the past two years.

Shutting him out completely to go on a high risk mission however, wasn't sitting right with Shepard at all. Pulling out a small device, Shepard turned it on, high powered magnets locking it onto the hull of the ship. A tracking beacon, useful for his investigations as a spectre. Cerberus had done their homework at least. They knew what he liked. As soon as Tali made it to her next destination, the beacon would send a signal through the FTL array, alerting him to her location via his omni-tool.

The shuttle took off, fading away into the hollow night. Turning to walk back to his own transport, the deft moaning of the wind was almost enough to mask a faint whisper.

"Keelah Se'lai, Tali."

Not much on D'awww, but something a bit more bittersweet. This is how I imagined Cerberus, and Shepard, found out where Tali was on Haestrom.

This is how they found Tali.

If he does, I, will, kill him, Even if it is the last thing Shepard does
