Shepard's Priorities are well in check

I literally burst out laughing at when this option pops up. It's like Shepard is listening to Shiala explain all this contract and legal crap and all she can focus on is the fact that Shiala is green, and eventually in the middle of the conversation she just can't shut up about it anymore, so responds to this invasive procedures without consent line with just a random "WHY ARE YOU GREEN?"

I love Shepard so much ksjdhfjkdshkhs

Very true. I also have doubts that the thorian that Shepard fights on Feros is well and truly dead. Shiala and ExoGeni's recovery team are the only sources we have that confirm its apparent demise. ExoGeni has a vested interest (as well as a demonstrated willingness) to lie. They were willing to purge the colony to protect their secrets and probably would have if Shepard hadn't intervened. So we know that we can't trust them.

Shiala, on the other hand, seems trustworthy at first. She's vital to the plot of ME1, as the prothean cipher would be lost to Shepard after the thorian's supposed death had she not intervened. She wishes to stay with the colonists to atone for their suffering which she feels responsible for. Even if you take the renegade option to kill her, it still reflects well on her character.

But something we often overlook is that she was definitely indoctrinated by Sovereign, following Matriarch Benezia to join Saren. A reminder that Matriarch Benezia was so far gone that she couldn't stop herself from trying to murder her own daughter. Sovereign probably couldn't have exerted any more control over her without turning her brain into pudding.

Indoctrination is stated to be a degenerative condition by multiple characters throughout the series, but we hear about it first from Rana Thanoptis, who was studying the phenomenon at Saren's base on Virmire. We learn that Sovereign (and later, all reapers) emit a kind of energy field undetectable by contemporary technology that subtly alters brain waves and thought patterns, making organic minds more susceptible to suggestion by slowly removing the capacity for independent thought.

If we take the narrative at face value, Shiala remains the only character in the entirety of the Mass Effect series that has experienced any degree of remission in their level of reaper indoctrination. This isn't extremely suspicious on its own within the context of Mass Effect 1, but given what we learn about it going forward? Gigantic red flag.

It's also worth noting that Saren offers Shiala to the thorian in exchange for the cipher, a fate she willingly accepts as an indoctrinated slave. Saren then betrays the thorian, as he has a reputation for. No surprise there. What is surprising is his apparent lack of target priority.

If Saren/Sovereign wanted to breach the colony to destroy the main thorian node beneath it, why didn't they just bombard it from orbit? Instead, they send the geth to attack the humans in the colony and the nearby ExoGeni building. "Killing the flesh that would tend the next cycle," as the thorian says.

There is another creature within the Mass Effect continuity that reproduces via spores--the Thresher Maw. That's the reason we find them on so many different worlds in-game. Their microscopic spores are hardy enough to survive dormant within the vacuum of deep space and atmospheric reentry, so they are unwittingly spread by space travelers, both past and contemporary.

What if Saren was cutting off the thorian's vectors of propagation without directly attacking it? Because large-scale disturbances like bombardment risk throwing its spores into the atmosphere or worse--into orbit where it could cling to passing vessels along with other bits of magnetized space dust.

I also suspect that the geth platforms on Feros were so entrenched because they were never intended to leave. If the thorian's influence can indeed overpower reaper indoctrination, as it seems to be doing with Shiala, the machines have a very good reason to be concerned and act accordingly. They seemingly intend to starve it out/quarantine it--a smart move, all things considered. Especially if my suspicions are correct.

We meet Shiala again on Illium in Mass Effect 2. Her skin has turned green, and she seems fatigued, to put it mildly. We learn that the colonists continue to experience strange side effects and rudimentary linked nerve signals, even sharing sensations like heat and pain when near one another. In addition, they experience headaches and muscle spasms similar to when they were under thorian control seemingly at random. She also notes that her biotics have become 'unstable'.

The colonists contacted a Baria Frontiers survey group to perform some medical scans to diagnose and resolve their chronic issues and were offered a contract to get them for next to nothing. The problem was that they had unknowingly agreed to "invasive follow-up procedures" at the company's behest. With enough charm or intimidate points, Shepard can help Shiala by convincing the Baria Frontiers rep to revise the contract.

Now we're led to believe that these procedures are being forced on the colonists simply because an uncharacteristically racist asari just wants to see them suffer… but what if the initial scans showed some kind of anomaly? If there are parasitic spores within their bodies controlling (or at least influencing) their minds, discovery of this fact would certainly spell doom for the parasite in question. So would it not be in the parasite's best interest to avoid anyone looking at the colonists too closely?

Furthermore, it's strange that the symptoms result in biotic instability for Shiala, an asari commando who has been training her biotic abilities for at least a few hundred years. Unless the thorian spores have begun to sprout and grow throughout her central and periphery nervous systems, thereby disrupting/altering the path that nerve signals must take to reach the eezo nodules in her nerves?

In Mass Effect 3, we meet her on the Citadel presidium after the evacuation of Zhu's Hope. She confirms that she is indeed indoctrinated, but says that her connection to the colonists through the residual thorian spores "is louder" than the tell-tale whispers. She and the colonists have seemingly adapted to the presence of the thorian spores and can now "feel" one another, and "act with one mind" as they fight against the reapers, "ignoring pain when the need arises." They can share some degree of learned experience as well, as Shiala further elaborates, "with one mind, the untrained fight with the skill of veteran commandos."

She's also, notably, still green. So it seems like the colonists just abandoned the whole "let's get medical care" idea and just learned to live with their new hivemind? Yeah, that's extremely suspicious given everything we know about the thorian.

Conclusion: Shiala and the colonists are simply an extension of the thorian, and this is how the creature propagates itself. Feros was not the Thorian's home world, and it was likely carried there by the protheans or a space-faring civilization that predated them as spores within their bodies. When they die, their bodies will be consumed by the spores within them and begin a new "cycle" for the thorian. (got to thinking about this reply from @dragonflight203, but it got a little too big for the reply box.)

Confession: I want to fuck Shiala with my fingers while she fingerfucks me and we meld. Meaning, I feel both my pleasure and hers. And the same goes for her. A feedback loop!

For the character headcanon questions: (choose one or do them all!) Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani Zaeed Massani Shiala

Sexuality Headcanon:

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: Lesbian Zaeed Massani: Has done it all, doesn't think about what that means about himself Shiala: Pan-romatic

Gender Headcanon:

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: This one I haven't thought about as much. Zaeed Massani: Is that one post going around about their dad not wanting to remember anyone's gender Shiala: The gender most asari use but doesn't translate in game

A ship I have with said character:

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: Emily Wong/Khalisah as exes and rivals but still with mutual admiration of each other. Zaeed Massani: I like him with Chakwas a lot Shiala: @spookyvalentine 's Stellan Shepard ;A; they are so cute together

A BROTP I have with said character:

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: Since she'll be taking the place of Allers in my fic, Khalisah and Samantha will be interacting a lot Zaeed Massani: Zaeed and Garrus are terrible influences on each other during Citadel DLC and it would have been funny to see more of that. Shiala: Shiala and her colonists fighting the Reapers with the power of friendship and found family (and the neural link a fungus gave them)

A NOTP I have with said character:

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: Getting punched because people think it's hilarious Zaeed Massani: I think Samara turning him down at the party is funny and they wouldn't work out. Shiala: The Thorian

A random headcanon:

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: Khalisah is a reporter who wants to report what the Alliance is doing regardless of if it makes the Alliance look bad or not which has her blacklisted by Pro-Alliance news networks. As a result, she's fallen in with the more of a pro-human news agency which she doesn't personally believe in but they give her the resources to investigate the Alliance so she's using it for her own ends. Zaeed Massani: Him and Vido did the horizontal tango together. Don't think it was romantic just something to do Shiala: @spookyvalentine 's headcanon about Shiala gardening flowers on Zhu's Hope is a beautiful image and I like about that too.

General Opinion over said character:

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani: I want better for her so much. The fact there are people who still think it's hilarious that the game treats the most prominent Arab character in the franchise as a punching bag for questioning the military is just gross. Zaeed Massani: War crimes grandpa. Great voice actor but I do feel being a me2 style dlc character hampers my ability to connect with him. I feel Kasumi was more successful with the formula. Shiala: I have found her interesting since encountering her again on Illium during ME2. I think it's one of those times that Mass Effect really pulls off having a NPC who feels like they're living this very complicated and rich life while Shepard is doing what they're doing.
