Bringing Tali'Zorah nar Rayya turned out to bearder than we expected to be; partially because neither our ship nor armor could stand up to the sun's blasting intensity, the geth didn't care to listen to why we had decided to drop by, and I just don't understand how these damn Quarians work sometimes.
We found a way to land on Haestrom but found ourselves clutching to the corners and shade constantly as our shields would repower themselves up. Between that and sustaining geth drop ships and sniper fire, well, we had our hands full.
When we landed and dropped out the ship, we met a drop ship right away and runned-and-gunned our way through to find a dead Quarian guard clutching a walkie-talkie. We identified ourselves, asking to be updated and provide assistance. The Quarian Commander reported Tali being alive still but was nebulous about why they were there in the first place (which I didn't like) and that they were running out of time. Things got worse from there.
A drop ship bombing run barricaded our way into where Tali was holding up and also deployed geth utilizing cloaking technology which I had not seen before (their shielding was their only tell). Now having to focus on demolition, we worked our way around the base to find the necessary material to blast our way through. We ended up stumbling onto one of Tali's workstations, finding a VMS from Tali about how the star was dying too quickly to be natural. We encountered ambush after ambush in procuring the explosives necessary gain access.
Finally exploding the barricade, we reached a control room in ruins, littered with geth technology (much of which we were able to salvage and sell later on, might I add). We found a communique to reach Tali with, who understandably was surprised to hear my voice again. Unable to use our ship, the Normandy, to blow our way to her location (she warned the entire aged structures would collapse under heavy ship fire) we were on foot again to recover her and her research. The enemies were much tougher on this run. For the first time I remember somehow dreaming that I had blacked out on the middle of the field after sustaining too much fire but then snapping out of it back in the control room..
A geth Colossus presented a unique challenge as I met up with a badly wounded Quarian commander to discuss how to take it down. A synthetic with massive health and self-repair capability, I talked the guard down from throwing his life away by continuing to flight and focused on closing the distance between the Colossus and I. By clearing out the geth soldiers and sneaking closer, we were able to inflict massive amounts of damage fast enough while staying alive to destroy it. Finally reaching Tali, I saw many dead Quarians about indicating the extreme cost of the research they were conducting on the dying star. As we made our escape, it was very satisfying to see the commander survive and bless Tali when she announced that she had joined my team.
