She rolls her eyes at the snapping, but before she can do more than that, the crab makes the most bizarre noise she's ever heard - Tali starts in alarm - and starts to move towards the clone. For a split-second, she doesn't want to let the poor thing go anywhere near her - Cerberus will happily experiment on or kill or both anything not of Terran origin - but what can Tali do about it? She's not taking it with her. Luckily, the creature's big enough to look after itself. (Just maybe not smart enough - she distinctly remembers the Mako flat out running one over because it blundered into their way.)

"Ah, so I'm a person, at least. That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me." If she were a bit more cruel, she'd have snapped back that no, the clone comes from a test tube, so everything's alien to her. But she's not, and besides - why prove the clone right?

The clone even rests a hand on the crab when it reaches her, and the look Tali gives her is nothing short of incredulous. "I'm not going to eat it, you know."

But, slightly hypocritically, she chirrups wordlessly at Charmander, who immediately scampers back over to her, tail flame whipping about everywhere.
