As a Quarian, Tali must walk the galaxy wearing a skin-tight plug suit and a face mask so foreign germs from, say, grimy humans like Commander Shepard don’t get them fatally ill. This is why Tali goes above and beyond in preparing her immune system for the worst just so she can be close to Shepard (the male-presenting version) during their romance in Mass Effect 2 and 3.

Now that I’ve effectively secured myself my very own Tali photo, I hope Mass Effect fans like myself will receive more updates about the series’ upcoming fourth game sooner rather than later. It’s been two years since the ME4 announcement, BioWare, and we’ve run out of fan theories about whether or not Shepard is back. My plate beckons. Keelah se’lai.
