Bodies of Missing Children Found in San Francisco

Why are there asari children on Earth, let alone seven of them?

Terrible stuff, but sadly, nothing I haven't seen before. Still, it doesn't stop being horrible, particularly when it happens to kids. Poor sods. At least on Omega you kind of expect to see shit like this every so often, but on Earth? I can't imagine what those families are going through.


Maybe 'cos there's such a thing as interspecies relationships and immigration? Now, I'm no expert on Earth law (or law at all, really), but I'd go ahead and guess that aliens are allowed to get citizenships. The Alliance might have gone a little crazy after the War, but I'm thinking they can't just throw out legitimate citizens that happen to be something other than human.

Because their parents / guardians live on Earth?



Okay, now my turn, why did the chicken cross the road?

Because he was being pursued by a batarian who wanted to use his corpse as a projectile in a race?

Precisely. An asari with a human father, like my daughter, can be granted Alliance citizenship along with her Republics one if that's what her parents want - just as my wife is a quarian citizen (or was, pre-geth records being what they are) and her mother has dual turian/asari citizenship.

Few decades down the line, we might even start seeing such asari applying to join the Alliance military. I wonder if they'd invent a new long-service medal for each century?

I thought the SA required you to declare Citizenship with that kind of thing. Happened to a buddy of mine who's raising a little Turian brat he adopted years ago. Some stink now with him wanting to keep whatever the name of that Terminus power was citizenship too.

Course, that's C-Space/Termi laws there too, so it may be that.

Doubt it- and if the Systems Alliance did accept asari with human fathers, they'd be the first.

I think I'd know if I had been eligible to join the Migrant Fleet Marines. Or my mum eligible to join the Salarian military, for that matter.

That said, yes, most political entities traditionally defined by the species accept asari with fathers of their species as citizens, even if they wouldn't normally do so.

Not the first, as Emile has pointed out the turians have us beat by many centuries. As do the hanar, come to think of it.

The reason why this is not the case with quarian and salarian fathers is obvious. Quarians, for better or for worse, were (and in many ways still are, not capable of supporting an asari population, contamination dangers and the extra strain on resources (the whole logistics of having to support levo organisms,) just made it impracticable to the point that it is nearly impossible.

Salarian are just distrustful because asari do not imprint on Dalatrasses, which is a vital component of their culture and social structure, and one that they -for better or for worse- feel they cannot do without.

...I think we might be talking about different things- I specifically meant military and was responding to the 'maybe asari will join the SA military'. I don't think any asari have joined the Heirachy military, for example. Citizenship's a different matter.

I might be wrong, though. And either way, yes, the hanar do have drell in their military. But as far as I know, they're the exception.

Oh, quite many asari served in the hierarchy military already. We (as in we - those with turian fathers, being tier 1) have to go through the same boot and service to raise our tiers. So this is not that unusual. In fact, I was already thinking about doing it myself, a century or two down the road maybe. If I only could convince Daia to join me, that'd be a tremendous experience.

...gah. Well, that's embarassing.

In the Hierarchy citizenship is only given to those have done military service, exceptions do apply but they are so far and wide you have to really go looking for them. Asari with a turian father are treated as a priority clients, and have to go through boot like the rest of them.


While rare there are asari serving the Illuminate Primacy, although I do believe most end-up being instructors for biotic drell.

Edit: Apparently, Taleeze has pre-emted me.

The auxiliary unit I served in during the war was full of turian-fathered asari with the other client species...and few humans and lone drell.
