That's Jake on a slow day btw.

The backstory behind the picture.

How did you make that comic strip?

Photoshop.

I'm fairly decent with Adobe and Macromedia products.

And did you studied the secret arts of ActionScript in FLASH?

I do have to say, if i could i would let Mordin alter my DNA so that it would be compatible and it would be possible to have test-tube baby. I love the idea of a little quarian baby who has my traits and who would be my son/daughter.

You could never do it by altering your DNA, for SO many reasons. 

It isn't just the protein chirality that makes it not work, or even having the correct number of chromosomes.  It is everything about how we are built.  Even if we could flip every protein in their body around to opposite chirality it would not be viable.  For instance, sperm uses a specific enzyme to penetrate the protective "shell" of a human oocyte, an enzyme that is coded for somewhere deep in our genetic structure.  It is also quite possibly an enzyme that is important in other bodily functions as well.  But even if Quarian women had oocytes, it is highly unlikely that they would use the exact same protein for it.   Further, changing your DNA would almost certainly set off a set of chain reactions, quite possibly fatal, because you can no longer code for the proteins that you need to maintain your own body (and neither could any child produced from that DNA).

It is possible, perhaps, that you could purposely alter some male Quarian DNA to produce facial features that looked like Shepard's.  However, there are two caveats:
1) This assumes the ability to not only predict what someone will look like based ONLY on genetic sequence, but also the ability to "design" it.  Simply copying sections from Shepard's DNA and changing chirality wouldn't work because Shepard's DNA would code for proteins that are simply different and incompatible with the ones that Quarian DNA is coding for.
2) As a consequence of number 1, the child would in no way be Shepard's "biological" child.  They would share no DNA with Shepard.  This would simply be a child that was biologically engineered, through great expense, to look kind of like Shepard.

Precisely why I suggesting *not*  going the "hybrid" route. Too many complications with chirality not to mention genetic code sequences that would essentially kill the child, mother or both.
Hence, my suggestion and question of the possibility to *completely* rewrite either Shepard or Tali's genetic code so that one becomes fully compatible with the other. Any issue from the couple would be full human or full quarian.

i agree even tho its a painfull process

hello Doc

Hello, krogan.
How many chairs thrown since last was on?

i have thrown 2 chairs today

back in my day we didn't throw chairs whelp. we played catch with thermo nucular warheads

And got yourselves sterilized...

Keep talking salarian, you're just digging a deeper grave.

What DID I miss?

Did you miss me getting raped by a Scottish Asari?

Uh, yes.

The real question, still is, did you mind?
Serious, reading those pages (almost what now....50 pages back) I can't tell if its actually rape ....

Macromedia has been dead for a long time! The Adobe Reaper assimilated it.

Which I am pretty sure one or the other will be willing to bear to have a child that they can truly call their own.

Indeed. I'm going to have to try it with shotgun, I've yet to do so with any class in ME2.

But I gotta go. Good luck with your playthrough, see ya everyone.

Wouldn't obstruct replication; but it does give rise to an error in replication, so that the newly formed DNA strand carries with it a mutation - and you've got a virus again... but this, all of this is academic. You were made as well as we could make you.

Sentinels in ME2 is a far cry from what they are in ME1. They are actually deadly.
