Today is Tali-day, by the way.

   T=20
   A=1
   L=12
   I=9
---------- +
   42

Today is 10.10.10

101010 is 42 in binary.

Remember to celebrate, y'all.

So how exactly is Quarian reproduction/sex supposed to work/not work?

Human/quarian hybrids are biologically impossible for reasons I won't even bother to mention. (Check about every hundred pages of all the previous Tali threads, it's been asked hundreds of times by now)

As for quarian/quarian, they "link-up suit enviroments" meaning they get accustomed to eachother's pathogens and whatnot, after the initial adaption has settled, they then acquire a clean-room together. After that it's pretty much the same as for us humans. (Or so we presume, quarians seem pretty much identical to terrestial mammals from what we've seen so far)

I'll go along with that.

I would think that Human/Quarian offspring would be possible in a way, but definitely not naturally. I'm not the person to be able to confirm this but there have been crossbread animals here on earth (e.g. liger) but they have always been genetically modified or something and are sterile and normally not suited to any environment except captivity.





If this is true I am very sure that Tali and Shepard would NOT want something like that and would either want something natural or adopted.





Note: I referred to a child as 'something.' Am I a bad person?

[Thundertactics]

Humans and quarians could be physically identical in every way, save for the opposite amino acid chirality, and the latter would still be enough to prevent any chance of offspring.

It would be easier to create an entirely new lifeform from scratch than to make humans and quarians "compatible" in such a way.

So my birthday is Tali-day. That's cool.

Humans and quarians cannot have hybrid children. It's beyond violating biology--it violates the laws of physics.

The closest thing to a hybrid would be some kind of Tali clone, that has had some of its genes artificially altered to mimic Shepard's traits.

I'm sure they would love the child as much as they would a naturally produced infant, but it'll always just be an altered Tali clone.

Okay, I was just wondering. I still wouldn't be surprised if its possible with extreme genetic modification but the result wouldn't be worth the effort. Much better to adopt.

Tigers and Lions have a common ancestor. Quarians and Humans didn't even evolve on the same damn planet.

A human/quarian, human/turian, and a human/drell are impossible. Even the asari have a glorified clone when they have a child with another species.

I've been thinking about this. It's possible is to have a human + 'X' + machine "child".
Basically it's a android with both human and alien parts.

Or they could just reverse the chirality of one of the parents or just the sperm or egg, I mean we've been fed harder things to swallow.
They could have twins, one for each chirality.

[RuthlessGravity]

It's just better to adopt rather than waste time and effort of trying to concieve a child with two completely different species.

[Weiser_Cain]

I like a challenge.

[The_Numerator]

So that's why 42 is the meaning of life. I'd always wondered about that.

[sergio71785]

Okay, I had an idea for how they could have a 'child'

Tali takes some red sand or Minagen X3 (that chemical from Samara's recruitment mission), to temporarily grant her some biotic power. 

Then you use some kind of specialized device or synthetic implant or whatever, that acts like the asari thing of temporarily melding immune systems. That way Shepard helps randomized Tali DNA. Then several months later, bam, she gives birth to a child, which Shepard helped create. 




What? No good?

I don't think thats how biotics work... more of how the Asari work.
But how I would think it would happen would be very similar, only done in a lab instead.
Tali would 'donate' an egg and Shepard some sperm or DNA. Mordin would do his magic on a molecular level and BAM.
But I don't know enough about genetics to more than be able to guess if this is possible.

[Thundertactics]

It is not possible. Mordin is not a wizard. You cannot 'reverse' chirality while maintaining inherent traits.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOT THE BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN ARGUMENT!!!!!

I have to agree with GAC here.



*SUDDEN TOPIC SWITCH*



If Shepard was a techy class (Engineer definitely, possibly infiltrator and sentinel) could you imagine Tali and Shep having a discussion on tech stuff. (Can't think of any good examples aside from the comparing of custom built Omni-tools)

[sergio71785]

Engineer Shepard likes to brag that he can type faster than Tali thanks to having 40% more fingers.

*snip*

Engineer Shepard is a combat engineer.
Tali is the perfect engineer.
Tali would win any competition against  Shep.

Shepard: Hey Tali, I bet I can hack into Legion before you can!
Tali: Orly? *Presses a few buttons on her omni-tool*
*Legion steps out of the elevator and walks up to the two*
Legion: What is thy bidding my master?
Shepard: waaaaaaaaaat

[sergio71785]

Oh, I'm sure Tali can hack faster and all that than even engineer Shepard. I'm just saying, in straight up typing, Shep would achieve a higher words per minute rate. 

[sergio71785]

I assume that languages/typing systems used in the ME universe throughout the various races are fairly comparable in efficiency.

[sergio71785]

They probably are!

Language is something that gets created and improved over thousands of years. By the time any species gets to the technological point of being able to traverse the stars, their language system is probably about as efficient as it can be. 

[Varnithis]

Quaran/Human hybrid is exceptionally unlikely due too different DNA structures, and definatly impossible naturally.



If they can drop 4 billion credits to bring Sheperd back form the dead after being spaced, they can splice human and Quaran DNA, but why the @#$% would they?
