I foresee Tali hating the "militarization" to the Normandy because they will make all the minute changes she made to the engine to make it more efficient null and so she has to restart the process all over again. Same for Garrus and his calibrations.
Something I wrote a while back:
This came about while thinking about what Tali's reaction would be if/when the Alliance upgrades the Normandy, with Tali in charge.
*Tali and many engineers are in Engineering and there are huge amounts of activity*
*One engineer is following her around and keeping track of her orders*
Tali: Get those couplings unpacked!
Engineer: Yes Ma'am.
Tali: You three. *indicating other engineers* Get to cargo and help install the X5-35A heatsinks!
Other engineers: Yes Ma'am.
Tali: *indicating a Cerberus logo* Why hasn't that logo been removed yet?
Engineer: It...
Tali: No excuses! I wanted that thing removed hours ago!
Engineer: I... I'll get someone on that right away Ma'am!
Tali: Oh Keelah!
*Tali walks over to another engineer, a techie, who is installing a new Terminal at Tali's workstation and shoves the techie our of the way*
Techie: Hey! What are you...
*Tali takes the screen the techie was installing and yanks it off, the unfinished cabling unplugging from the wall*
Techie: You little... I was almost finished installing that you... bucket-head!
*Tali flips the screen 180 degrees, as it was being installed upside-down*
Tali: *nearly shaking with rage* I can't believe you! Of all the competent people in the galaxy and I end up with a [long stream of cussing in Kelish]... *Tali stops and stares over the Techie's shoulder*
Tali: HEY! *Pushes the Techie aside and walks up to an unknown person* What the hell do you think your doing?
Vega: Uh... Helping?
Tali: *Grabs Vega's arm and pulls it away from the terminal he was working on.* *eye twitch* Tell me... What is your name?
Vega: Lt. Vega *he presses a button on the terminal with his other hand*
Tali: *immediately reaches over and presses another button on the terminal* We need that to live.
Vega Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Quarian!
*Upstairs, Shepard, Zaeed and Garrus are watching the scene from security cameras*
Garrus: You should probably go down there Shepard...
Zaeed: That's guddamn suicide!
Shepard: I think she's perfectly capable of handing herself. Besides, look at all the new friends she's making!
*A loud scream sounds from the terminal, Shepard flinches*
Garrus: That... looked painful.
Zaeed: Rookie had it coming.
