Even when there's no conflict to be had, Taylor Escalates.

Yep, here she's just escalating as a scientist/engineer. Anything she sees she feels the drive to understand and improve on, and any limits or barriers are simply challenges to surmount.

it's still Worm Taylor, except she's not broken from her trigger even and her superpower is basically being pure human genius polymath. A one in a hundred billion sort of pure human genius polymath.

Taylor and Tali?

...I ship it.

Just... give them a few years first, is all.

Does anybody else wish this omake was canon?

More than I can put into words. The Quarian People have been shat upon from a great height for 300 years and can't live outside their suits. Taylor has the US Government and Amy on her side. "Mister President, this is my Friend Tali. We plan on helping each other work on some stuff, but I'm worried someone will try something ill advised because she has no legal protection. Could we please work on getting dual citizenship set up for her, so I can legally have her protected?"

"That seems reasonable Miss Hebert. Miss Zorah, have you decided how to spell your name in English yet?"

"Not yet sir, we keep getting distracted. Taylor has a very nice lab and I'm frequently overwhelmed by the sheer amount of resources at her disposal."

Stand back everyone! Taylor is about to science the shit out of ezo.

I dunno, she's likely to go on a rant about eezo, which is clearly just bullshitonium. Someone made the stuff, solely to keep people from doing real science by giving them an answer to common problems (FTL, gravity, fusion) in a form simple societies can understand (ie 'We do resource extraction!") and blinds them to real physics by sending them down dead end alleys.

eezo is a shiny rock dangled in front of them, so they waste their time. give them incredibly exotic matter created and seeded by an advanced race, and let them spend their time trying to make up physics that produces it naturally — instead of it being the product of someone who had massive industrial capacity and the ability to beat physics up and demand it's lunch money,

Rebecca took one of the first vial formulas, if not THE first one. It made sense to me that it would timelock her cancer rather than cure it.

It's an interesting parallel that Alexandria's power is presumably from Eden's copy of Clockblocker's shard, who also triggered due to (his father's) cancer.

Alex passing out though is because at this point, nearly all her brain function is routed through her shard connection. Disrupt that and...

This piece of fanon again?
*swats with newspaper*
Bad Yuffie. I have neither the time nor the will to go over gathering all the canon references, WOG statements, and logical proofs which demonstrate that Alexandria's toughness has nothing to do with timelocking again, so you're just going to have to take my word for it or look them up yourself.

Alexandria's toughness is just being really, really tough. Timehax is not involved. I don't actually know where that idea first came from, though I would guess a fanfic, but it has absolutely zero canon basis.

I'm fairly sure that eezo being artificial is also fanon, taken from one admittedly good fanfic and sometimes borrowed by a variety of other, mostly also admittedly good fanfic. Canon doesn't say anything on the matter, to my knowledge.
 
...why do I have the feeling that Amy is going to Blue Screen when she touches Tali while Shaper is going to be confused and start stratching it's metaphysical head as to why it's encountering a dextro based life-form in this cycle?
 
I'd definitely read more of that.
Maybe bring the Stargate crew into it too, cause multi-first-contact across universai.
 
Ooh this should totally become canon set in the semi near future of this story, think of all the fun Taylor, Tali, Mordin and Edi would have together performing SCIENCE. Add in Sam and Daniel from SG-1 and it gets even better! The thought makes me cackle like a madman in anticipation. Fun Omake.

...you know, I wonder if Mordin all but becoming immortal by the standards of his species would actually lead him to a period of sloth and procrastination as he finally has time to just enjoy life.

Are you kidding? He'd act like a kid hyped on triple shot espresso and a sugar high at the same time. He might calm down in a century or two.

I'd really like to see another chapter of the side story. I found it most amusing. I wonder if Amy will fix/strenghten Tali's immune system and what she plans to do to allow Tali to eat, will she grow dextro based plants or adapt Tali's biology to accept levo base food instead or in addition to her normal diet?

I'm also wonder how the US and UN government will react to a stranded indevigal first contact.

Hopefully she will just give her a human-equivalent digestive system, which unlike Mass Effect claims, is perfectly capable of metabolizing nutrients of any chilarity.

Again, earth is full of both dextro- and levo- life, nothing here gives a shit about eating either. Do not take biology lessons from Bioware*, they failed that class badly.

*Thank you for the correction.

A Mass Effect Omake to celebrate the release of the Legendary Edition. It is as it should be. That said, that was a wonderful Omake, that sadly can NEVER be cannon. Me sad now. Seriously, GENUIS! Taylor, and her plucky alien sidekick Tali on the ADVENTURES OF SCIENCE!!! That is just screaming for some prime time action.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the idea of a reality crossing teleporter and the Quarians evacuating their old reality to sidestep the Geth, Council, and Batarians.
For added lols, imagine the Council races collective dawning panic when they realize NOBODY has seen a Quarian in weeks and most of the Tech Support jobs are being performed by people having to learn on the fly because all of the people they took for granted are gone. Karmic retribution is a bitch. :V
 
Personally, I'm also hoping for more Lizardy words. As well as more from Doctor Curlyhair and friends. Oh, and from Kernal of Truth. While it was interesting, Incompatible Systems lost my interest after about 3 or 4 chapters.

...what does Bethesda have to do with it? This is on Bioware.

Well, it's basically assumed that nobody would take biology lessons from Bioware. Bethesda merely failed that subject, so that's just helpful advice.

...we don't talk about what Bioware did. It is verboten.
