Chapter 111: Keelah Si’yah, Keelah Se’lai

=== Summary ===
Batarian Councilor Ka'hairal Balak is extremely frustrated with the enormity of the work facing him, and how power grubbing the other batarian politicians are acting. In private, he and Khonine discuss their options on how to save their people, and what their civilization’s history actually was. When Balak tells Khonine that he doesn’t deserve her, Khonine says that she doesn’t care.
On board the Alarei, Tali and Shepard discuss Garrus’ mental state and how the turian Hierarchy is going to frame his father’s injuries. Tali asks Shepard what she thinks of Damien Arterius. Shepard thinks back to meeting him and tells Tali that his commonality with Saren ends with his looks. Tali comments on nature versus nurture and Shepard agrees and reflects on how delighted Damien was when he got to meet and hold Viatrix, and how all of them must choose to break generational trauma.
Tali and Shepard turn their minds back to the problem of Hastrom and dying stars. The data she and her crew have gathered suggest several spikes in Dholen’s radiation in quick succession: 2183, 2185, two in 2186, and two more close together in 2187 and 2188. Tali is confused by why it is happening- dark energy does not do this on its own. After some thought, Shepard suggests that Tali speak to Conrad Verner.
That evening Shepard notices how enamored quarians seem to be of Viatrix, and Tali tells her that Vi is something of a symbol of the renewal of the quarian’s future- as a result she has quite the quarian fanclub. Shepard also notices the undercurrent of sexual tension between Tali and Kal’Reegar, which leads to good natured-ribbing. Shepard quiets down reluctantly only when Admiral Zaal’Koris starts the ceremony to name the quarian settlement  on Rannoch: Nar’Zorah, so named in honor of Tali and her father Rael.
=== Title Meaning ===
'Keelah Se'lai' is khelish for "by the homeworld I hope to see one day," and 'Keelah Si'yah' is khelish for "by the homeworld I hope to find one day". The quarians have done both, having retaken Rannoch and are now rebuilding their civilization there. The title likely refers to the newly named settlement of Nar'Zorah.
=== Easter Eggs ===
Keelah Si'yah is the name of one of the ships taking part in the Andromeda Initiative.
