Are the tips of Tali's fingers wrapped in purple fabric? Or are they metal tips?

I can never tell...

Ah, yes, "metal tips"

Tali has dismissed that claim.

Morning Rip. And I'd like to say fabric, because I'm into soft things like that...

Hate to burst your bubble, but her fingertips are made of the same metal her shin-boots are made of.

I'm still okay with that.

Good thing, too. Glad I didn't **** up her fingers in Guardian angel.

On the downside... I DID **** them up for Quarian's Kiss...

****.

Shala:...and here's Tali with her first omni-tool. She was so proud of it. The first thing she managed to do was to put her bubble into lock-down mode. Her mom and I had to spend about half an hour before we finally could make it vent.

Tali: Aunt, that is not something I'm so proud of.

Shepard: Ah, don't be ashamed, Tali. You're looking pretty...is that a rubber ball bouncing inside your bubble?

Tali: I should probably go now...

Hell. The place where beings of any
race go when they commited wrongs during their lifetime. Where they are
punished for those wrongs. That describes this place. Rael made a
deal with the devil and now he's reaped what he's sowed. This was
supposed to be a secret agreement turned into slavery. Slowly but
surely, Rael started to lose more of his privileges. His suit has been
neglected. It was barely recognizable to what it used to looked like.

Daro
injected him with stimulants occasionally which made him lose nights of
sleep here and there. He couldn't tell how long he was trapped. Weeks?
Months? Doesn't matter. He's stuck here. This place where he deserves to
be.

Daro'Xen. His devil. His punisher.

Rael was tortured
every day either emotionally or physically to push himself further to
complete these experiements. Rael was fed the bare minimum to stay
functioning. He wondered which of his misdeeds did he commit to deserve
to be here. The lives that were lost due to his recklessness? The Fleet
he risked due to his experiments. In any free time he was given, he
would think. Rael sometimes wondered if he even lived through what
happened on the Alarei. Maybe this was really hell. A place he was
ironically forced to do his research with the devil Daro beating down on
him.

Soon enough he realizes his crimes. It wasn't about the
Fleet. It wasn't even about the people who died due to his recklessness.
It was about Tali, his daughter. The thought of her brought tears to
the tired warrior's eyes. It all came to him. He neglected her her whole
life. And even since the death of his wife Kila, he became even more
engrossed into his work. That was a time he should have been supporting
her through that difficult time. Rael wasn't even sure he ever told her
that he loved her.

That was his his crime. Neglecting his
daughter. That was an unforgivable crime. It all made sense to him now.
This research would benefit the Fleet, but in exchange, he would never
be allowed to see his daughter ever again. A fitting fate. Time and time
again he longed to hold his daughter in his arms. To make up for his
crimes by just telling her he was proud of her. That he loved her. And
that he was sorry for being a terrible father.

He was going to
die here. That was what he accepted. Once he's no longer sueful to Daro,
she would just leave him in his cell and lt him starve to death. That
is his fate. That is his rightful punishment.

Beep, beep!

Rael
looked to the door. It was being opened. He sighed painfully. Rael
hasn't had a meal for a couple of days now. Either Xen was going to feed
him, or she's going to put him out of his misery. The door opened
revealing a human wearing a mask with blue eye lights.

"Thre's someone in here!" he called out to someone out of sight.

"I'm coming!" a female voice said. It was quarian.

Rael was lying on the ground, too tired to move. All he could do was groan.

"He's in pretty bad shape," the human said.

The
Quarian came from behind him. Rael's eyes widened. It was his daughter.
He wanted to call out to her, but he was too weak. His vision began to
blur and then black out.

* * * * *

Rael grunted as he awakened. The room he was in was very bright. Next to him was an older human woman. She looked at him.

"I see you're finally up. You gave us a scare. You were suffering from malnutrition and sleep deprevation."

"How long was I out for?"

"About a couple of days. We're heading to the Fleet now."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Doctor Chakwas."

"Rael."

"A pleasure to meet you."

"What happened?"

"To you?"

"I mean the ship I was on."

"Oh." Chakwas moved her chair right next to his bed. "Just how long were you on that ship?"

"Months at the very least."

"Then you don't know what's happened in the last while."

"Enlighten me."

"Well, shortly after Shepard and his team took out the Collectors-"

"The Collectors? He was able to take them down?!"

"Without a single casualty. Incredible isn't it? Turns out they were Protheans working for the Reapers."

"Reapers?"

"A
race of sentient machines that have repeated a cycle of extinction
every 50000 years. That so called Geth flagship, Sovereign, was a
Reaper."

"And the Collectors were Protheans?"

"Yes. The
Reapers have a form of mind control called indocrination. The surviving
Protheans were enslaved and turned into the monsters that we know as the
Collectors."

"That's... That's a lot to take in." Rael rubbed the front part of his visor.

"Yes.
Well after destroying the Collector base, he cut his ties to Cerberus.
He finally had enough evidence to prove the Reaper's existance. So
Shepard has been spending time building our forces for the Reapers'
eventually arrival. He currently brokered a peace between your people
and the Geth."

"What?!" Rael nearly fell off his med-bay bed.

"Easy,"
she said to calm him down while holding him in place. "We found a geth
platform that was sent to communicate with organics. Shepard
specifically. This geth was from the main geth faction. All the geth
your people and everyone else have been fighting were called heretic
geth who followed the Reapers. The main geth faction saw the Reapers as
much of a threat to them as anyone else. So Legion, as we dubbed him,
joined Shepard's team and assisted us in taking down the Collector base.
Due to the trust Shepard gave Legion, the main geth faction has agreed
to give your homeworld. The Fleet has been transporting non-combatants
onto Rannoch for a week now."

Rael couldn't speak. Shepard did
in a few months what he couldn't do after years and years of research.
He gave Tali a home. Shepard gave his people a home to call their own.

"I
realize that this is a lot to take in. But there's a bit more.
Daro'Xen, the Admiral, nearly ruined this peace process. She was trying
to release a virus that would have reprogrammed the Geth, but Shepard,
Tali and Legion were able to stop her in time. They killed ehr in the
battle and then they found you."

The door to the med-bay opened. Shepard walked in. "How is he, Doctor?"

"He'll make a full recovery."

Shepard sat down next to him. "So who are you?"

"Rael."

The voice and name made Shepard jump. "B-But, you're dead! We found your body. No heart beat."

"An
on-board medical stasis program that injected me with a drug that
slowed my heart beat to nothing, so I was able to play dead."

"Chakwas, please leave," Shepard said in a firm tone.

Chakwas left quickly.

"You have any idea what your death did to Tali?" he growled.

"I
can't even imagine. I woke up and saw the trial that went on. You...
You defended my daughter against the other Admirals. You protected her."
There was a sad tone to his voice. "Daro was the first person to come
to the ship where she found me. I was blackmailed into continuing my
research. Eventually it became enslavement. All these problems with Daro
Xen happened because of me. I don't think I can ever make up for it, or
the neglect I have shown my own daughter. In that hell I was stuck in, I
only came to realize what I've lost. My own daughter. I don't think I
can ever make up for it."

Shepard was moved by his words. He was
furious at this man. The man who never told his daughter that he loved
her. But before him was a broken man who realized his mistakes. "Sir.
Admiral."

Rael looked up at him.

"It's not too late to change things. You can still tell her everything you never did."

Rael nodded. "You're right. But before you call her up, I need to ask you something."

"Yes."

"Do you love my daughter?"

Shepard sat up straight. There was a slight pause before he answered. "With all my heart, sir."

"I
thought so. I just knew it when I saw you give that speech at the
Trial. You were there for her, when I failed. You fought with fire to
defend her. Even complying with her wishes to not show the evidence I
left. I'll be honest, if I met you before the Trial and I learned this I
would have killed you. But seeing the conviction you displayed at that
Trial, there's no doubt about your intentions with her. Frankly, I don't
think I could think of a better man for her."

"Thank you, sir. That... Means a lot."

The med-bay door opened. There stood Tali. "Is he okay?"

"He's fine," Shepard replied. "Uh, there's something you should know."

"Tali..." Rael said in a quiet tone.

"F-Father?" Tali choked.

"I'm so sorry."

"Father!" Tali ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him and cried.

"I'm
sorry for everything, Tali!" he choked. "I'm sorry for being a terrible
father. I'm sorry for leaving the Alarei mess for you."

Tali's cries only became more audible as he talked.

"I'm sorry for never telling you how proud I am of you. And I'm sorry for never telling you that I love you."

Shepard sat out of the way.

"I love you, Tali."

"I love you, too, father," Tali cried. "H-How are you here?"

"An
on-board medical stasis program that slowed my heart beat. I was later
found by Xen who blackmailed me into slavery. I'm so sorry for
everything. I promise you I'm going to be a father."

"That's all I ever wanted from you."

"I-I also know of you and Shepard."

"Y-You do?" she said in a frightened tone.

"It's okay, Tali. He's a good man. And what matters is what makes you happy."

"Th-Thank you. But how are you going to explain what happened on the Alarei or why you're alive?"

"I don't know any way around it. I'm going to have to confess to my crimes."

"No!" Tali yelled. "I can't let you get exiled, especially from our homeworld!"

"I don't see any way around it."

"Xen,
modified your safety protocols," Shepard added. "In secret he was
trying to improve upon your research, but it went hay-wired. You were
the only survivor of the catastrophe and Xen captured you so you
couldn't tell anyone what happened."

"That didn't happen," Rael chided.

"No,
but that's what we're telling the board," Shepard replied. "Xen is
going to be posthumously exiled for her crimes, we might as well add
yours to hers. Anyways, Tali needs her father and we need an admiral in
the coming Reaper war."

"He's right," Tali said.

Rael
nodded. "Alright. Though I won't let myself become absorbed by my work
again Tali. The time I spent in that cell made me realize what is truly
important in my life. You."

Tali hugged her father again. It was
like life was finally going her way now. First the man she loved comes
back to life and declares his love for her, and now the father who was
never there for her, was now saying everything she always wanted to hear
him say.

"Though tell me. What is our world like?"

Tali looked her father in the eyes and said, "Beautiful."
