My issue is that she wouldn't just join me or wish me well or even say she would do what she could on her end. Instead we get into a fight about things that don't matter.
A couple of things to point out here. First of all she does still leave saying to you to try and be careful. Likewise, in the email she sends she does nothing but wish you well and apologize and admit she was wrong.
Like I've said many times before, I don't blame her for not leaping right up and joining Shepard right on the spot. You expect her to get over the shock of seeing you alive, the PTSD associated with your death, the two years of grief and slow recovery and the fact that you are now working for a terrorist organiziation within five minutes?
Not to mention, leaving active duty to go join a group directly opposed to the group you have sworn loyalty to is what one can technically call 'treason'. Something that can be punishable by death.
Finally if you talk to Anderson you find out from him that by sending the report on Horizon Ashley actually confirmed the story about the Collectors as true. He also mentions that she's been trying to link the Collectors to the Reapers with evidence but hasn't been able to find any.
As for her thinking Cerberus is the devil, that's crap.
Actually if you serve the Alliance, you pretty much have every reason to consider Cerberus 'the Devil'.
Cerberus have been considered an enemy of the Alliance and the Council for quite some time now. Ever since they went rogue and started doing experiments against Alliance protocols without Alliance permission.
They have attacked Alliance Ships and stolen dark matter, they've killed entire platoons of Alliance soldiers and raided Alliance outposts. They've killed Admirals, they've assassinated high ranking officers within the Alliance as well as quite a few political figure so as to replace them with people who follow a more 'Cerberus approved' conduct.
Also let's not forget the sick experiments. Oh man Cerberus do a lot of those, often times to humans.
And this has been going on for a considerable amount of time. Point is, if you are Alliance.... with all that history behind you, you have every reason not to trust Cerberus.
Talis people where slaughtered by Cerberusa ship exploded witch to a Quarian must be like the worst form of terrorism. She joined me without a moment of hesitation that's what matters.
What happened on the Migrant Fleet was tragic, and of course Quarians now have every reason to distrust Cerberus. But then as I pointed out above, so to do Alliance soldiers.
I mean if blowing up a ship is bad for Quarians, what does dead Admirals, illegal experimentation and attacks on outposts (not to mention feeding people to thresher maws) mean to the Alliance?
Seriously, don't you dare try to argue that Tali has more of a reason to dislike Cerberus than Ashley does. They both have equally valid reasons.
