When it comes to "shipping" age is critical to remember because this isn't QQ, and even if it was there are laws against such content involving children.

You're missing the point entirely. Age is immaterial because it doesn't matter what age they currently are, you're shipping them at their legal age (for the type of ship involved).

Unless you think, for instance, mothers who try and set up their kids from a young age are imagining their X-year-old child as-is getting married, rather than all grown up.

All of which is ignoring the fact that shipping isn't restricted to just the sexual.

So your saying that 15 year olds cant have significant others? I had a friend in highschool who got a girlfriend in year seven and they lasted to year 11. The idea that shipping fictional characters that are under age is somehow wrong when nothing sexual happens at all (other than *gasp* handholding!) is something I really dont get. No one is suggesting anything untoward, we're just discussing potentially adorable parings. Ya know, like every other fandom out there does.

"Let me get this straight, pretty much all your tech runs off this Element Zero or 'eezo' stuff, and you're not quite sure what it really is?"

"It's formed during a supernova, and has most of the properties of dark matter. We know how it interacts with electricity to create mass effect fields, and in very small quantities it will interact with developing nervous systems to generate biotic abilities."

"And those biotic abilities don't actually correspond to what you would expect from using it normally. Geez, a galaxy spanning civilization that runs off ancient fairy ring teleports and magic space rocks. What the Hell happened to proper SCIENCE in your universe?"

"What?"

"Tali, It took me less than five minutes of having that eezo sample the size of a grain of sand under the microscope to figure out that it's an exotic pentaquark formed by irradiating normal baryonic matter with a massive neutrino flux. The gravitic-electromagnetic interactions alone should tell you that. I also know how to destabilize it with a focused WIMP beam. I'm not going to do that because it's got about 42 times the energy density of antimatter, so right now I need to figure out how to decontaminate you and everything you brought with you and chuck that shit into the Sun or something."

A Massive chuckle burst out of me reading that. That goddamn Irish chap just going around posting all over the place haha.

Also the actual story was fun too. Would like more of reactions to Taylor bringing an Alien across dimensions and reactions of Mass Effect people to THE TECHNO QUEEN Taylor.... Taylor's technology I mean haha.
 
Anyone know how long in story time the story has progressed and how long it has been in Taylor Varga? Who has Escalated Crazier Faster?

It's been about a year in-story. The lizards are probably ahead in rate of change but they're not actually telling anyone about most of it yet. This Taylor went big early :D

On the other hand, TV-Taylor is definitely better at Math. This one knows more Science!

The ultimate solution is obviously to combine forces... ;)

"Everyone out of the universe!"

At which point the universe abandons the universe, leaving everyone that had been inside it high and dry.
 
*puts tinfoil hat on*

So, it seems in this new corner of the π-derverse, humans are curiously missing (as evidenced by the timelines not lining up with Tali being around and First Contact having not happened). What if, in this universe, Quarians are what evolved instead? And, taking this a step further, what if Tali is this universe's analog of Taylor? People have already shown their names are very similar when creating the ship names, after all. She's also shown to be a gifted engineer and intellect similar to Mppi's other Taylors, as well as having a bubbly personality like canon Taylor did before everything went to shit. While she might not be at Learning!Taylor's level, she seems like she might be at TV!Taylor's before she started learning Mathemagic.

*takes shiny hat off*

Or, you know, the timelines are just off and Humans will be run into in a few decades, if everything survives that long.... that's absolutely a possibility given an infinite number of infinite timelines (I think that that would be Aleph-one, but fuck if I can actually understand what Wikipedia has to say about it...).

Unless you're referencing some manual material, official books/comics, or Bioware WoG. The only part of that post that was actually in the games was that Eezo is created during supernovas. Granted, in ME Andromeda Bioware did a 180 and tried to claim it was all sentient made, but never tried to explain how. But during the main trilogy, no, they kept it to created in supernovas. The big thing however, is that according to ME 2 that ... gunk, keeps forever. Because you find most of it mining blasted former garden worlds.

{edit} After some thought, I think I see how you came to your conclusion. Mass Relays are typically kept in close proximity to solar systems, aka stars. And since the transuranic element containing the un-degraded anti-energy would be the least stable at its edge would break down releasing the anti-energy that would break down into dark energy super quick thus making mass relays practically sweat dark energy which would both suffuse a star system with dark energy and inhibit high density fusion of late stage stars creating supernovas regularly in high dark energy saturation star systems allowing for unreacted anti-matter to exist long enough to break down into anti-energy that can then be trapped by forming transuranic elements from the unused high density fuel of a exploding star. . . . But that reactive state would go against MP3's power fuel that can't change effective density mass of other elements. After all, ME verse FTL affects density mass of ships to allow for less energy to go FTL; not create shadow mass to counter real mass to go FTL. Totally different mechanic, and doesn't rely on electricity at all for formation of shadow mass. I mean, there's a reason that Star Trek Di-lithium is perceived to be porous, since it does trap dark matter during its formation, and matter/antimatter reactions would break down the dark matter into dark energy as a form of anti-matter containment. Apparently though the dark energy remains within the crystal chunk if recrystallization can "renew" its usage period.

*blinks several times, before holding head in hand* Ugh... I hate when my brain starts collating information without my being aware. Even I confuse myself whence I look back on what it came up with.

Blame @SanguisAnima; they coined the name.
