I did say roll (as in the dice roll) as opposed to troll. But easy enough to misunderstand. I think she's just using it instinctively, as GSP is kinda fluff based much like Cast in Gold as opposed to crunch.Durabys said:

Fluff over crunch. The hard numbers don't matter as much when you're telling/writing a story.Durabys said:

"…Joker! Did you send that?!"Durabys said:
"From behind a large ass gun." The omnitool beeps. Holding up a hand, Shepard taps it and listens in. "Crap. Emergency. Spectre business." She blows out her lips, walks off stage, and drags a helmet-less quarian along by the crook of her arm.swordomatic said:
"Shepard, exactly why aren't I coming with you?"
"Someone has to suffer," Jane mutters, and walks out.
Sighing, the quarian woman flicks back curly lavender hair. Then realizes she's standing in front of a crowd of people who hadn't seen a quarian without her helmet before.
"Oh fuck it," she says, "Commander Shepard will be indisposed. My name is Tali'Zorah vas Neema nar Rayya, and I will answer any further questions."

"Miss Zorah, is it true that you feel resentment at the fact that Commander Shepard sees Liara as 'her waifu' while you are merely 'her younger sister'?"

Every so often Gregg holds a character Q&A. This is one of those times, so I'd recommend thinking up a funny question or something you genuinely want to ask.StormFury213 said:

"Miss Zorah, is the fact that you're currently not wearing a helmet related to... Oh god, I can't believe I'm saying this, Shepard's ninja's bullshit healing magic? And if so, is it possible, and how much would it cost, for the ninja to come heal my son?"

Ahh, the way you wrote the previous snippet was more in lines with a "Question time is over so let's move to the next scene". Still, I'm glad I was mistaken there (though yeah, the way that last scene was written was perfect for ending or moving on from it), but since it's not over, hmm...GreggHL said:

"Actually, this one's not Shepard's fault. It's because of the hundred or so Geth programs running around my suit. I mean, if I wasn't on someplace with a controlled climate like the Citadel, I'd still take my helmet. But now, it's more of a sensible precaution than a 'Oh ancestors I am going to die hold me big strong human' thing which the quarian fetishists love." She shudders.
SpacePaladin said:
"Yes, but on the other hand, I know how to program Shepard's DVR."
SightedJT said:
Tali hisses at the reporter.
"Yes, but on the other hand, every little request I make to Shepard doesn't have the subtext of 'After we make out.'"swordomatic said:
"Shepard and I are not like that!" comes the breathy response from off stage.
"You and Shepard are exactly like that!"
Scya said:
"Yes to the first, no to the second. The Geth have experienced a religious crisis. The Geth that attacked the Citadel a year and a half ago were ones that decided all organics have to die. This was actually a minority among the Geth. Most of them have actually been on the former quarian colonies for the past three hundred years, cleaning up the damage."

"Yes, and no. I'm currently being taught entirely different kinds of bullshit by Iri."
The Bushranger said:
"The honey…badger?" Tali blinks. "No, no. But the mad ball, yes. Oh, Ancestors, yes-"
On cue, the stage behind Tali flashes with lightning and a three meter tall golden giant appears, with two women sitting on each shoulder. Tali rubs the bridge of her nose and carries on, listening to the next question.

Tali turns to the golden giant. One of the two women on his shoulders slides down; a lovely, curvy young woman in a long, blue chinese dress with chopsticks in her black hair. "Noedumari," the voice from the giant says, confirming to Tali it is him, "Here's a list of what I need, and here's a credit chit. Should be no problem."spencer1519 said:
The woman nods with a smile. "On it, sir," she says, taking the scroll and the card, and walks out. On the other shoulder, a young girl with reddish blonde hair waves at the cameras.
Draconas said:
"That's absolutely true."
TheSandman said:"Miss Tali'Zorah, would you care to comment on rumors that the Q&A is kind of over now?"
"No, no. I think we're just getting started."
Talon88.1 said:
Tali blinks. "What? No! That's like me and my Uncle Han!"
SpacePaladin said:
"Well." Tali taps her lip. "I wouldn't be surprised if it did."
Requiem_Jeer said:
"Well, according to Shepard, Liara did, and I quote, 'f____ a planet', and did it around one hundred sixty nine times. Which, I understand, is why Liara's got bigger boobs."
"Ah! Ah, yes! I can answer this!" Tali mutters a blasphemy, stepping aside so the golden giant doesn't bowl her over. "Yes, yes! The problem, is creating the Perpetual Motemic Engine, the Supermote, is in fact impossible! It also requires beings of absolute power to catalyze this, which is also impossible! Which means it cannot be created!"Gamerex27 said:
Tali sighs, patting the giant on the arm. "Right. You take over. I need to find a bathroom." She pulls her helmet on her head and struts out.
The golden giant turns to the crowd. It holds up its arms. "Yes! Greetings, reporters! I!" Thunder booms overhead, despite being indoors. "Am Autochthon! Next question?"
