No lie. I got the generous gift of a Kindle for my birthday, and I've been using it to read the Mass Effect "Canon" fiction. Anyway, so I'm reading this chapter where Kahlee Sanders is aboard that Quarian Ship that Tali & crew are so mad about, and she's being given a tour. Along with her is a 12 year old autistic biotic who asks the Quarian where they go to the bathroom when they can't get to one on a quarian ship:
"Our suits are equipped to store several days worth of waste in sealed compartments between the inner and outer layer. The suit can then be flushed, discharging the waste into any common sanitation facility - like the toilet on your shuttle - without exposing the wearer to outside contaminants."
There you have it, Quarians wear poop suits.
In other news, the Illusive Man's cigar smoking is perfectly OK now due to medical advancements in the 22nd century, and it's just due to old prejudices that it's not seen as healthy anymore.
Last thought: Someone is a firefly fan, as the Quarian Captain in this book is nicknamed Captain Mal

I don't know why authors feel the need to waste time on things like that. Does it really add anything to the story? xD

The "wat?" Factor on these forums as skyrocketed in the past few days.

The question was bound to come up sooner or later. 'sides there is not any creativity in it seeing as it was done before in Dune, Starship Troopers and God only knows what else.
It makes sense for them even if gross by our standards.

Darn. I always found the notion of Quarians wearing nappies pretty darn hilarious. It'd be a nice surprise to any talimancers.

Indeed Linders. I immediately thought of the Still-Suits when I read that.

The stillsuits took it one step further. At least I don't think the Quarians reprocessed the moisture from the waste for drinking later.

Jesus Christ, Karpyshyn. You just ruined quarians forever.
No wonder they get infected if they get shot.

lol That just gives a curious location for an aimed shot if you want them to suffer before dying. Headshots are still better.
