The guilty party in this case is already dead. You can't really punish a dead guy.
No, but you can still provide justice for his victims.

Saphra dont be childish. By giving the evidence she is screwing over herself because she is the only one that would be truly punished. By keeping the evidence she screws over no one because no one gets punished. I you see what Im saying.Saphra Deden wrote...

Call me crazy, but I dont really see whats selfish about that.
I guess I can't help you then, have a nice life.
Though it says troubling things about your take on criminal justice. It doesn't matter if the guilty party pays as long as someone pays, right?
I hope you're never a judge.

Now you argument primarily is that the victims relatives need closure. My argument is that:
1. They are getting some closure by Tali basically saying it was her fault.
givin the evidence also fragments the fleet theough.Hellbound555 wrote...

something bad happened on the Alerei. It was Rael'zorahs fault. the Quarians deserve to know the truth and who the people really responsible are. And in the end, they'll find out anyways. the alerei isnt destroyed. the evidence is still all there.

What do those people get out of it? I doubt knowing their loved one died helping some Admiral carry out his war crimes is going to give them any comfort, even if said Admiral gets his title posthumously stripped.Saphra Deden wrote...

...His victim's families. You know, their sons and daugthers, mothers, fathers, husbands and wives? They're friends?
Fuuuuck.

2. We have argued about this but there is a very good chance that many of those, if not all, were involved with the experiments and therefor would do no good to let them know
3. Lastly, Tali knows that giving the evidence up will likely fragment the fleet. That is more important that closure.

She was willing to accept responsibility for what happened.
She wanted to take responsibility, even though it wasn't her fault, because it was easier for her than letting her father actually pay for his crime.
It was selfish and childish.
I just think its honor and pride, she doesn't want her fathers name removed from quarian history, or to bring shame to who he was, she'd rather be exiled.
the thing is, that doesnt change the fact that rael'zorah did something bad enough to warrant such punishment. He still did what he did. scratched out or not. Tali doesnt get this...

Yeah, sure, what SMW said. The entire dilemma and plot-line was pointless because everyone will find out anyway, apparently.
That's so ****ing stupid that I'm sure Bioware will really do this.

Son, you just don't get it.
You don't have any love for justice or truth.
1. Either way they are still getting some closureHellbound555 wrote...

1. No, they are getting closure knowint it's RAEL's fault.
2. I disagree, if every quarian knew, there would civil war. Dont believe me? Talk to the captains and their view on how to handle the geth.
3. That's honestly an assumption.

too naive for my tastes. Knowing officially that her father crossed lines won't ease their suffering compared to thinking it was some kind of mistake. The geth are the geth and THEY killed the crew aboard the alari. just dont think the victims need to know the truth. Its not like the geth killing the crew is senseless, leaving the surviving families of the victims mordified.

raelzorah knew what he was doing and he knew he was breaking laws to do it. Rael zorah is guilty for the events taking place on the Alerei.

What we are arguing about is how the fleet benifets from either exiling Tali or not and how you would know that before.Hellbound555 wrote...
I just dont see why you guys keep trying to defend rael'zorahs actions and letting tali take the fall for it.
