Yeah, found out about it last night. I think Tali even nods.

And from then on, Jacob always checked his omnitool for viruses before putting it on.  Because you never know when Tali was going to respond to that AI comment.

Nope, Tali only nods to Garrus' comment. Sorry. She turns her head slowly, though.

I am fond of Tali's mean streak.

I'm sure everyone here is.

I'm surprised you even pose the question  Tali, of course.

I hope that theory is true. It could mean some pretty...exotic moments in the eventual ME3 romance.

Given the setting of the Mass Effect universe, it'd be completely safe to say that quarians are mammals and share most functions.



Now Tali says on Noveria that even she was able to feel the cold through her suit, this means she has environmental controls. So anything less than an extreme high or low would not likely register with her, with what would constitute a high or low to a quarian being dependent on their natural body temperature. So it would follow, given all that, that she has ever had more than a light sweat before. I imagine the time before the Omega-4 Relay was quite a learning experience.



Now if she's getting out of the suit to be with Shepard, which is something that would happen more and more often as her immune system adapted, wouldn't it stand to reason that bacteria would become a factor?



The technical talk is above my head, but it seems like a stimulant and a performance enhancer would be...addictive.

Well, licking Thane isn't really an option for MaleShep, is it?

But hey, it's cool that MaleShep also gets a "trippy alien sex" option .

There's no information on what drell skin does other than cause hallucinations though, so in that department, Tali wins out with the "performance enhancement" trait. Man, Shep really does get a lucky strike with her, doesn't he?

More reasons to enjoy a nice, warm bath with the adorable quarian, then.

Or being in a sauna with her.

I wish it wasn't this way. Why can't aliens be alien!?

Mammal analogues, at least.

Still don't understand why asari have breasts...they have tentacles on their heads, ffs.

They're the only race, to me, that doesn't make any sense.

[Someone With Mass]

I have no problem with humanoid aliens. Except the asari. They're too humanoid.

I never knew Jacob said that about Tali!

Is this from the Lia'Vael thing?

That's hilarious.

When and where?!


Oh..Fanfic.

Sources for information like D-aspartate being likely to bond with sodium for it to be soluble?

This is not entirely necessary during the urea production, but certainly when it would be excreted through liquids, where the D-Aspartate residue would have to be somewhate soluble, the most readily available chemical would be sodium (at first, I'd wrongly assumed the only way would be forming a dipeptide with D-Phenylalanine, resulting in Aspartame, as you'd noticed back then), hence it'd bond with that. (This is why that "natural performance enhancer" link is Sodium D-Aspartate too. Simply because it'd need to be soluble to be ingested and transported, they toss some Sodium Chloride (salt) in there and voila, soluble D-Aspartate.)

Or D-ornithine being more prone to hydrogen bonds than L-ornithine?

Example, D-Ornithine dihydrochloride, this is achieved through hydrogen bridges, while L-Ornithine can sustain a single hydrochloride molecule through this manner, dihydrochloride is far less stable. (That's not to say D-Ornithine dihydrochloride is very common either, but at least it'd be more potent in demobilizing the ammonia)

I'm no expert either, but I see no reason something like solubility should be dependent on chirality. Wouldn't the solute have to be chiral as well?

Just what the sites regarding these amino acids say, D-Asparte has a solubility of "approximately 0.8 grams per 220mL" (about 3.6 grams per Liter) while L-Asparte is at 4 grams per Liter. Neither have a very high solubility, but the relative difference is still pretty high, and even if it wouldn't bond with sodium and somehow be excreted through the same manner, it would maintain its testostorone production increasing properties.

Then again, these dextro-amino acids aren't exactly common, and the things I'm discussing here haven't been experimented with to great enough extents to provide purely objective, non-speculative conclusions (pfft, lazy scientists and their lack of affection towards quarian wiminz), but they'd be nice side-effects regardless.

Having traits from what are very different branches of animal life on Earth isn't the problem with the Asari.   There are issues there from certain prespectives, but that's not really an issue.

Uh, no.  Apparently that's Jacob's response to Tali's threat to hack Kor Tun's suit during the Lia'Vael dialogue.

oic, thx Mass. I never use Jacob after the first mission.

[Homebound]

Guys, is it just me, or does Tali's face underneath her visor seem to be taking shape? Ive noticed since the last patch that her eyes are more...to the sides of her head.

Heh, can't blame you for that one. The only times I'm using Jacob are on Freedom's Progress and his loyalty mission. Between that, he's rotting inside the armory.
