A Quarian Heart
Tali decided she was having a bad day.
As if the betrayal of Fist and his men wasn't enough, she was being followed. By mercs.
Tali was a quarian, which meant she was vulnerable: a single puncture of her sterile enviro-suit could hospitalize her from infection, possibly kill her.
Not the best of days, she thought, shots streaking the Citadel's night air.

Commander Shepard decided he was having a bad day.
Garrus and Wrex had been hesitant when he'd asked them to search for the female quarian who held the geth info needed to take down Saren.
"It's your call, Commander, but she's a quarian!" Garrus chimed, "If she isn't dead from a suit puncture, she'll have stolen the data and run away. You know what her kind are like."
"That's an order, dammit Garrus!" Shepard barked "Move out!"
I hate shouting at him, Shepard thought silently.
This was a bad day.
