Not if the fix doesn't change the number of viable offspring.
No, it could mean changing how it reduces birth-rates so the krogans stop seeing it as causing hundreds of still-births for every viable child.
It removes one of the most demoralizing factors of the genophage, making the social engineering necessary to permanently solve the slide into extinction possible.
As has been said - the fix is in how it operates, not what it does. Nobody actually wants a galaxy buried under the Horde.
0 fucks given - they can stop their own slide even without a cure, the problem is the lack of will to do so. A fixed genophage would go a long way to restoring that, especially if it ends the notion that some females are fertile and some aren't.
That happened a few months before the start of the first game. He's still perfectly happy with it right now and will be for another ten years. This is not Mordin from the game people. This is Agent Solus, who's an STG man though and through.
I'm assuming that "Eliza" was developed legally, given that a mere seven years earlier in 2165, the Alliance facility at Sidon was found to have been conducting illegal AI research; the Alliance faced heavy fines and censure as a result, and the Alliance probably wouldn't be performing such research illegally again, certainly not on an Alliance-owned station, the exact same station that had just been host to the BAaT program until just a couple of years earlier. Does that mean that AI research isn't as hard to get cleared to do as we've been assuming?
Salarian academic rivalry is a hell of a thing?
That matches my expectations, yes. After all, if Mordin really was a high-level STG operative and he went walkabout--and on Omega no less!--he'd have been targeted for assassination by the STG.
Veto rather than fillabuster I'm sure, but I think the issue here is that many of us are assuming that getting approved for AI research is going to be this arduous, years-long quest, when apparently the Alliance military got approval to do it only a handful of years after being censured for doing illegal AI research, meaning it's probably more a matter of putting together a decent security setup rather than having to spend decades currying favor with all three members of the Council (probably the Salarian and Turian councilors; I don't see the Asari ever approving a non-Asari to do AI research, given how anti-AI they're likely to be).
The dossier is about the mission I am referring to, where he is acting as a consultant for the genophage project. It specifically refers to him as "specialist", where the actual combatants were "operative". He's capable of combat, yes - he was presumably trained - but not an active field agent in the sense that he was regularly out in the field cappin bitches for the Union.
We should totally go on talk shows with Mordin and Dor.
)? He's just that awesome? From Quest canon the STG has called him in long before said mission to look at the genophage data. They may have given him some training. Though it's worth noting that IIRC that he's primarily a tech user and use weak guns otherwise, so he's not a soldier. All I'm saying that being a professor is his day job (and reasonable cover). STG stuff is more a... "we'll call you thing".
He heard Kirrahe's "hold the line" speech.
That was on Tuchanka.
