Tali has learned that the Quarian Migrant Fleet is charging her with treason. If she is convicted, she faces exile. Since Tali is serving on a Cerberus ship, she has not been told the specifics of the charges. Fail Shep sends the Normandy to the Migrant Fleet for the trial.

Fail Shep, Tali and Legion enter the Rayya, the ship where the trial is taking place, where they are greeted by Captain Kar'Danna, who isn't happy about Legion. Fail Shep threatens to breath on Kar'Danna if he doesn't let Legion on board. Kar'Danna acquiesces, but Fail Shep has not made a good first impression on the fleet.

Tali has been charged with bringing active geth to the Migrant Fleet. These geth took over the lab ship that Tali's father, Rael'Zorah, was working on. Tali agrees to take out these geth to clear her name and save her father.

Before leaving, Fail Shep talks with the quarian admirals. Shala'Ran is a textbook Reasonable Authority Figure. Han'Gerral is reasonable, but he has a General Ripper attitude toward the geth. Zaal'Koris is the one pushing for a guilty verdict for Tali. He comes off as a Jerkass, but he is the only admiral who supports peace with the geth. The last admiral is Daro'Xen, a Mad Scientist who wants to turn the geth into an unstoppable army that will conquer the galaxy on behalf of the quarians. Fail Shep also reunites with Veetor, who was tortured into insanity by Cerberus.

Fail Shep and Tali go to the ship. After fighting off a lot of geth, they find Rael'Zorah's body. Rael has left a message for Tali telling her where the computer that will shut down the remaining geth and prove her innocence is. Tali's not happy with the evidence: while it clears her name, it also proves that her father deliberately activated sentient geth to test weapons on. If this evidence is presented, Rael'Zorah will be posthumously exiled, which in quarian law includes being Unpersoned.

Fail Shep ignores Tali's request and uses the evidence. Tali is pardoned, but the revelation that one of the greatest heroes of the Fleet committed such a horrible crime throws the fleet into chaos. Tali is traumatized by these events and doesn't gain Loyalty status.

I had real life stuff come up yesterday, today I was busy with the "Citadel" DLC and I probably will be finished that DLC off tomorrow. I should be back with another update on Thursday.

Oh man, your Citadel DLC party is going to be so depressing. I"m interested to see how many people survived to show up...
