I'm sure they do, but as to what they are... no idea. Most insulting gestures are socially constructed... 'flipping the bird' is only a gesture to a portion of the human population after all.

True, but putting the index finger of your right hand through a circle made by the thumb and index finger of your left is infinitely translatable.

Well tali really doesn't need to verbally insult anyone, she can just give you that death gaze she gave jacob, man she can melt faces off with that look.

I'd like to be awakened with those eyes : )

Tali yawned and leaned over her boards at the station, blinking away sleep from her eyes. The night before had been nice, a chance to relax and recover. She hadn't remembered wandering down to the sleeper pods after the wine and drinks Shepard had provided to the old hands.

Some things never change. She sighed as she took a sip from one of her food tubes and watched the diagnostic start. Elevators are slow, maintenance work is never done, and diagnostics take forever.

She blinked as Ken walked over to one of the panels and pulled it open with a click. What's he doing? He removed what looked like a canvas bag and a duffel before tossing them onto a workbench. "Gabby, you gat the diagnostics and scans cookin?"

"Yep, EDI is watching em too." The propulsion engineer grabbed her own duffel from one of the storage bays. "I'll go get changed."

"What are you two doing?" Tali asked, watching them.

"Gettin ready ta get ta bed." Ken answered, rolling out the canvas to reveal what looked like a sleeping mat with ropes and pulleys running from each end.

Tali arched an eyebrow. "Don't you sleep in the crew quarters?"

"Noisy, if they don't snore they talk. Plus, engineers need to get to their stations fast. Ain't gonna trust the elevator." He grabbed one end and tied it round a structural beam. "An the pods are full these days."

"What is that?" Tali asked.

"Hammock." He said pulling the other end to a structural beam about two meters from the first one and tying it in place. Then grinning to himself he pulled himself up in it and started reading from a datapad.

That actually looks... kind of comfy. Tali sighed. "Maybe you can get me one, it'd be bad for you two to get to your stations before me."

Just toying with that idea.

I always imagined the caption for that being:

"Good MORNING, Commander..."

you know, after reading tali's fromspring account, it dawned on me. tali and garrus might not be as buddybuddy as we make them out to be. team dextro isnt canon. they might not even see each other as friends and meerly as acquantances. Like a friend of a friend who you dont know but is always at your friend's house parties.

[geekALERT]

the non-buddy relationship could be caused by the Turian,Quarrian possibility of a disease transfer instead of "an acute allergic reaction" this would cause them to never be close enough or around each other enough to build a deep "buddybuddy" relationship

Well, they are the only ones to have out of player conversation banter in ME2 really. The whole elevator conversation is awesome. But then we don't know, we have to rely on clues considering how little inter-party talk there is in ME2. Most of the ME1 conversations suggested some hostility between the team on the Citadel though.

And now... a preview of the next chapter in Break the Cycle...

Tali tapped her omnitool in irritation as she stepped out of the lift. Why were they so long? A couple others stepped out after her and she pursed her lips as she flipped through the display. Where am I going to go to get this information to someone, an agent of the Shadow Broker? What should I do?

Scowling she walked toward an ally-way and nearly tripped over a keeper as it plodded past. She stopped and stared at the strange insect like creature. Huh, they don't talk. No response at all really… She shrugged and turned around a corner and leaned against the wall tapping at her omnitool. Someone has to know how to contact him on the extranet… She started searching, her eyes focusing on the holographic display that appeared over the tool as she skimmed forums and chat records. Come on…

Then she smiled. An extranet mail address, well it's something. She took a step away from the wall and deactivated the omnitool. Then she turned away from the main corridor and froze as she heard the sound of a weapon extending.

The suit hid so much, but it couldn't hide the cool metal of a gun barrel pressed against the small of her back. Maybe it'd be better if it did.

"Give me any data you have on Saren and the geth, quarian." The two toned voice of a turian hissed in her helmet's audio receptors.

An icy cold lump formed in the pit of her stomach and she looked over her shoulder at the turian. How did they know? The geth! Had it transmitted her image? But, a quarian in a suit isn't that easy to…

She took a deep breath drowning the thought. "What data?"

The turian chuckled. "Come on missy, you're pretty distinctive for a vagrant, hunting geth on Liberty. Hand over your omnitool and no one gets hurt."

Tali laughed. "You do realize it's under my suit right? I'm not pulling off my sleeve in place like this."

"You either do it now, or I strip it from your corpse. So, chance of death or certain…"

Tali spun, swinging her fist around toward the turian. Before she could connect the pistol fired. Pain lanced through her right shoulder and alarms rang in her suit. Isolation seals clamped down around the breach and she felt her arm go numb from the sudden pressure. Dazed she spun to the floor and hit the deck with a thud and stared up at the turian clad in black armor, a large pistol pointed at her visor.

He chuckled. "Nice try, you almost…"

She grabbed the pistol off her belt and squeezed the trigger furiously even before it extended to full length. Shot after shot rang out, ripping through the armor and shields. The turian staggered, blue blood dripping from the holes before falling to the floor. Her finger still fluttered on the trigger, not noticing the overheat alarm.

He's dead! Her mind seemed to be yelling at her body. He's dead… you're still alive, but unless you get up you won't stay that way. Tali stared at the turian lying in a pool of blood and felt a wave of nausea rise from her stomach. I… I killed him. He wasn't even a geth and I... She dropped the pistol and blinked her eyes. It was him or me, come on Tali you know that. With a groan she sat upright and grabbed hold of the wall for support. A keeper glanced in her direction for a moment before continuing to work at a terminal. Grimacing she picked up the gun and clipped it back to her belt.

Suit breach, let's see antibiotics… Her mind was swimming and she could see darkness creeping in on the edges of her vision. Pulling out her rucksack she fumbled for the medicines then reached back to the medical injection port and slammed it home. With a hiss she injected the load and grimaced. That done she stuffed the empty syringe in a pocket on her realk and pulled out the suit patch kit. Ten minutes and I'll be really hurting. I need to seal it now. She bit her lip as she pulled out the patch and slapped it over the entry wound in her back before covering the exit wound in the front of her shoulder.

The emergency seals relaxed as the patches held back the air. Tali took a deep breath, grimacing as she felt a wave of pain roll out from her shoulder. It felt like her shoulder was burning and she blinked away tears. Damn it, I saw a clinic just a block away or so. Come on Tali don't let that bosh'tet end you. She staggered out of the alleyway and glanced up a the signs, no C-sec ran toward her, no one seemed to notice the dark stain on her realk as she stumbled through the crowd toward a clinic.

With a hiss the doors opened and a human turned to look at her. Tali caught her gaze shifting from her visor to shoulder and she stumbled, darkness clouding her vision. "Please…"

The redheaded woman rushed forward just as the darkness overwhelmed her and she fell.

So...femshep no.3 fell on top of tali? XD

Yet again stellar wonderful writing.

[GoG ToXiC]

Fantastic writing. So when is this chapter going to be out? I read through the first 13 chapters again yesterday.

[StellarMagic]

It shall be released when it's ready. lol, I know that sounds irritating but it's my policy.

[Swordfish56]

Stellar writing shouldn't be rushed : P (pun intended)

I'm wondering if you've also read Andrio's fanfic? He's written multiple Tali pieces that (at least to me) appear to be relatively well known to some of the old Tali thread regulars.

Adamo is the 30 chapter epic that takes Shepard and Tali's story through ME1 and 2. The ending was written before the Arrival DLC (I think?) so its a different take of Shepard on Trial

Noveria Heat is a relatively infamous episode involving Tali, Shepard, and the Mako. For mature readers

Raela'Shepard Nar Normandy gives the backstory for an adopted child of Tali and Shepard. She seemed pretty well recieved in the old thread.

I've read those all... plus Razor's Edge and the To Survive series plus lots of others... I'm a bit of a speed reader so I can burn through fiction fast.

Writing the Tali portions is the easiest part for me... it's the other character sections that can be really tough.

In ME1 and ME2 I got the impression Tali at least didn't particularly like Garrus. She definitely warmed up to him a little in ME2, but I wouldn't call them good friends or anything.

i got the feeling that none of the original squaddies particularly liked each other.
