Tali crept quietly to the kitchen trying not to wake anyone, a few deckhands were still meandering in the CIC and the engineering decks, but as Tali guessed the crew deck was empty. Still she didn't feel comfortable just eating here. She stealthily snuck to the refrigerator and opened it. Before her was a feast of human foods that she had never eaten before. She knew she was only supposed to have a nibble, but she should try everything once right? She loaded her arms with food and stashed it in the Main Gun. She even made two more trips. When all the food was assembled she wasted no time stuffing her face.
Delicious burgers, pies, cakes, pastries, and other fattening delicacies passed her lips. She ate a 3 pound burger in five massive bites. Her cheeks swelled with pastries and their tasty fillings. Her thick fingers slid into onion rings and she ate them all off with haste. She was reckless. About twenty minutes in she stopped realizing she only ate one third of the food. Should she be full? Maybe human food was different. She shrugged and decided to eat until she was full. A thick creamy Salarian food passed her lips and once again she was lost in the food. After 30 minutes the food was gone.
Tali was amazed, how had she done that? She looked at herself and gave a little gasp. Food was all over her and she was a mess. Her belly stuck proudly in front of her. She poked it and it was firm. She looked pregnant. She looked from side to side, as if she wondered if there was anyone she missed in the small gunnery room. Actually, there was.

The Illusive Man watched from the small bug. The Quarian's eating habits intrigued him, he already knew why, but not the effects. This could prove useful against the Quarians in the coming days as a type of leverage. He watched her examine herself and prod her belly.
"Well, this is fascinating," he said taking a drink of his whiskey.
He watched as she was clearly a little panicked now and was attempting to clean up after herself. As she ran to the kitchen he thought she was hyper-ventilating. She then looked around the still empty cafeteria, and snuck to the women's restroom.
The Illusive Man touched a few buttons and Miranda's face appeared on a terminal to his left. "Sir?" Miranda asked not at all looking tired despite the hour.
"Operative Lawson, I have new orders for you," said the Illusive Man.
"Yes sir, what do you need?" Lawson asked.
"Investigate the Quarian, you no doubt know of her, err.. condition. I want all the data you can get. Tell me her rate of gain, anything you think is useful," he responded.
"Will do," said Miranda, "Anything else?"
"No. Get started, I believe she is in the women's restroom currently," He said and no goodbyes. He just cut the link and watched the engineer throw her clothes into a garbage hatch to be destroyed.

Back on the Normandy Miranda considered her options. Should she be stealthy or just walk in. What to do, what to do?
