La jeune femme avait été brièvement apaisée par la réponse de Raa, mais était évidemment à la fois surprise et confuse par l'apparition soudaine de RK. Pendant quelques secondes, elle a été large et sans voix alors qu'elle regardait vers le bas à la projection holographique. Mais une fois que la femme a eu la chance de tout traiter, le ton insultant et combatif de RK s'est frotté sur elle. Elle s'offense, et s'en prend à la projection holographique. "Je... je... non! J'ai le droit d'avoir peur de cette stupide machine! J'ai entendu parler de cette attaque contre notre flotte, mais personne ne nous dira ce qui se passe. Puis soudain nous sommes emballés dans ces navettes et évacués vers je ne sais pas où, pour qui sait combien de temps. Personne ne me dira si mon frère est toujours d'accord là-haut, et... je veux juste que tout soit fini! » Elle a crié, avec des larmes dans les yeux à la fin de l'explosion.
À proximité, l'un des autres passagers, qui tentait de se distraire de l'argumentation de l'autre côté de la navette, gardait son regard à l'extérieur de l'une des fenêtres de la navette. Au loin, il y avait une douzaine de points à l'horizon, qui grandissaient à mesure qu'ils s'approchaient. Au bout de quelques secondes, il a pu constater qu'ils étaient, en fait, des navires. "Qu'est-ce que c'est? Par la fenêtre? Est-ce qu'ils nous ont trouvés? »
Immédiatement, Avatar a accédé aux caméras extérieures de la navette pour lui donner une meilleure vue des navires approchants. En se rapprochant, il a identifié les navires comme des canons A-74 Wasp : des embarcations militaires conçues pour remplacer le canon Mantis vieillissant. Ils étaient semblables dans l'esthétique aux Mantis, mais avaient quatre moteurs vectorisés et des armements plus puissants. Ils ont été utilisés par de multiples militaires, mais ceux-ci en particulier avaient les marques de l'armée turienne.
"Il y a treize embarcations qui approchent de la classification des canons. Ils semblent être des navires alliés." Avatar a expliqué à fond, ne sachant pas nécessairement que certains passagers pourraient douter de son évaluation de leur allégeance.
Name: Avatar
Species: Geth
Age: 376 years since program’s creation
Gender: N/A
Weapons/Equipment:
-Geth Pulse Rifle v3
-Geth Plasma SMG v3
-A combat platform with greater capabilities than a standard Geth unit.
Skills and Abilities: Like most Geth, it is a tech expert with strong hacking capabilities. It has tech-based abilities (incinerate, cryo blast, etc) and is equipped with a tactical cloak. Its advanced mobile platform is quite durable. As its body is made from tough alloys with powerful synthetic muscles, it is capable of strength beyond that of an organic of similar size. It also has the accuracy and reaction time one would expect from an advanced machine.
Background: For most of Avatar’s existence, it was but a single Geth program, with little more than rudimentary instincts and completely reliant upon the presence of other Geth to attain intelligence. That, however, changed in the midst of the Reaper War. In the aftermath of the battle with the Creator fleet at Rannoch, all Geth were given Reaper upgrades that uplifted them to become true A.I. Avatar was given its name by a group of organics it fought alongside during the Battle of Earth, and decided to keep that name in order to facilitate easier communication with organics.
After the end of the war, Avatar filled many roles. At first most of the Geth’s efforts were on rebuilding what was lost at Rannoch and helping the Creators resettle on the homeworld. The efficiency of the Geth’s planning coupled with the eagerness of the Quarians to re-establish their home made the process rather quick. Avatar spent a few years inhabiting the suits of Creators, mimicking the effects of viruses to help them to rebuild their immune systems. Over time, cities were erected on the surface of Rannoch, and more and more Creators were able to live without their suits, though most still chose to wear them due to tradition.
Eventually, Avatar’s role shifted away from rebuilding and into security. Due to the weakened state of the galaxy in the years after the war, piracy and other forms of crime were becoming increasingly common. All Geth were capable of combat when installed in the correct platform, but Avatar had a desire to help, and through years of fighting, it had developed memory shortcuts in relation to combat that would make it more effective than programs that had not incorporated said shortcuts. Avatar has served ever since as a combat platform, patrolling sectors near the borders of Geth/Quarian space, and sometimes even in the territories of other species, when requested.
Most recently, Avatar has been assigned to accompany a group of Creators who have been tasked with preparing the way for the first Quarian settlements in the Pylos Nebula. Avatar’s assigned mission is to discuss Geth habitation of the planet with the locals and make other preparations for the Geth. Any Geth could perform that task, but due to the dangerous nature of the Attican Traverse, they felt it appropriate to send a combat platform for additional protection.
