The Quarians join the Republic

Meanwhile, on the Migrant fleet, with the negotiations between the Quarians and the Republic ambassador, Leia, while Ahsoka stands guard behind her

Quarian Ambassador 1: You ask for too much

Leia: I really don't think so. It's only fair, we will help you take back your planet from the Geth, and you'll join the Republic, just as you all wanted

Tali: And we appreciate it. What my fellow ambassador means is that we don't want to trade one war with the Geth for your wars to come

Leia: I'm sorry, Ambassador, but there's no escaping it. Every race that's in the republic must send its troops into the republic army, there's no escaping it

Quarian Ambassador 3: Then it's a no, we're not going to let the republic use our people as cannon fodder

Ahsoka: How long do you think you can last without us

Leia: Ahsoka

Ahsoka: I'm sorry, Leia, but I can't keep quiet anymore

Quarian Ambassador 3: I don't want to hear anything from the Jedi who lost all her men

Tali: Yes, she spoke out of turn, but she is right

Quarian Ambassador 1: What do you mean, Tali

Tali: The Geth outnumber us. Everything we tried to take back Rannoch has failed, the only thing we gained is **** on our side. How long before the Geth wipe us out? We need their help

Quarian Ambassador 3: No, there must be another way

Tali: There isn't. I'm tired of seeing my family and friends dying, and we can't even bury them on our planet

Leia: So do we have a deal

Quarian Ambassador 2: How can we be sure that they won't go against our wishes or send our people into battles that could have been prevented

Leia: Every race that's part of the Republic can send ambassadors who represent their people in the Senate, so that their concerns are heard

Tali: And the Republic and Jedi will listen to us

Leia: The Republic follows the commands of the Senate

Quarian Ambassador 1: And the Jedi

Ahsoka: The Jedi follow their own path, we do not answer to the Senate. We are just cooperating with them

Leia: True, but we ask each other for help when it's necessary

Ahsoka: And know this, if the Senate ever refuses to answer, you can always count on the Jedi for help

Tali: Let's vote, all in favor of joining the republic

The Ambassadors vote

Tali: 3 for joining the republic and 1 against it, it seems we have a deal

Tali and Leia shake hands

Quarian Ambassador 3: We're gonna regret this

Quarian Ambassador 1: The decision has been made, just deal with it

Quarian Ambassador 2: Now, who will be going as our ambassador to the Senate

Tali: I choose myself, I'm the youngest, and the fleet needs you all more than me

Quarian Ambassador 1: Then we'll give you a proper goodbye tonight

Leia: Take your time Tali, we'll leave tomorrow morning

Tali: Thank you

Leia: Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll need to inform our superiors

Tali: Of course

Leia and Ahsoka walk back to the GHOST

Ahsoka: Sorry for butting in

Leia: Don't apologise, that fucking helped

Ahsoka: Thanks

Leia: So, what do you think, did I do good for my first time negotiating

Ahsoka: You did all right, though there are still places you could improve

Leia: You sound like my mom

Ahsoka: Padme will be proud of what you accomplished today

Leia: Thanks

They arrive back on the ship and see Hera doing maintenance on it

Hera: So how did it go

Leia: We made a deal, the Quarians are gonna join the Republic

Hera: Congratulations, we now need to fix a problem they created

Ashoka: Still think it's wrong for us wanting to help them destroy the Geth

Hera: Rannoch is as much their planet as it is to the Quarians

Leia: Why don't you speak a little louder? I don't think they heard you

Hera: I'm just saying, this could have all been avoided if they just chose to live in peace with the geth, instead of trying to wipe them out

Leia: We know how you feel about it, but this is what's gonna happen, the Republic has just become stronger

Hera: Tell that to the Republic soldiers who will die trying to free Rannoch from the Geth

Ahsoka: **** happens. There's no escaping it

Hera: I wouldn't expect a Jedi to understand. You left your family to join the order, you wouldn't get how horrible it is to bury your parents, because they lost their lives fighting a war they had nothing to do with, but were **** into by the republic.

Leia: Hera, I didn't know that

Hera: Well, now you do, come, I'll set up the ships' holoprojector so you can inform Supreme Chancellor Amidala
