She knows Shepard well enough that her first thought is to assume the commander is taking the organization down from within. She also doesn't assume that Shepard is stupid or gullible the way Ashley and Kaidan do. So unlike the Virmire Survivor, Tali does not assume that Shepard is evil and working merrily with known terrorists. She then offers her help, realizing that Shepard is in a bad situation she can not escape. Once Tali is aboard the Normandy SR-2, she tells Shepard that she had assumed Shepard was working undercover (and not a literal prisoner of her own morals).
Instead, she cautiously observes the commander from a distance, and after deciding that it really is Shepard and that Shepard is in trouble and needs her help and support, she comes back. If anything, Tali never once insults or doubts Shepard. She doesn't go into a sneering "HOW COULD YOU?" spiel where she calls the commander names (Kaidan compares Shepard to Saren) and tells her over and over what an idiot she is for trusting space Nazis. The difference here is, Tali does not make personal attacks on Shepard. This is why Miranda is annoyed when Tali shows up: being able to connect with old friends who would speak out against Cerberus might turn Shepard away from cooperating with them.Ĭerberus hasn't exactly given the Migrant Fleet a reason to trust them, and Tali is very vocal about not trusting the organization, to the point that she refuses to join Shepard on Freedom's Progress. In reality, Freedom's Progress was Cerberus' attempt to manipulate Shepard into thinking they were trustworthy and were just looking out for humanity. Shepard has been brought there by Miranda and Jacob, who claim they want to prove that the colonies are being attacked. Tali on Freedom's Progress in "Mass Effect 2."īy comparison, Tali can meet Shepard at the beginning of the game at the colony Freedom's Progress.
