Tacticus a commencé à fixer le mur de métal gris alors que la cabale a vérifié leur vitesse pour la dernière fois et a donné ce qu'ils ont tous supposé être leurs derniers mots l'un à l'autre. Ils se préparaient tous à mourir à ce stade, mais Tacticus pensait qu'il devait y avoir un meilleur moyen de le faire. Il a commencé à se demander si les intercepteurs allaient même être utiles à... il s'est arrêté une seconde. Le sang s'est précipité sur son visage alors qu'il avait une idée. Il a largué son fusil et a couru vers Sura qui étudiait encore la carte. Avant que Sura ait réussi à obtenir un mot de Cactus flouté "J'ai peut-être trouvé une façon qui ne nous implique pas tous mourir."
Sura regarda Cactus comme si elle attendait qu'il dise quelque chose. C'est lui un moment pour prendre sur cela, mais quand il a fait il est rapidement allé en idée. "Les intercepteurs qui sont aussi amarrés à la station que nous avions prévu de prendre de toute façon? On pourrait les prendre d'abord et les utiliser pour tuer tous les ennemis. Nous n'avons pas besoin de nous inquiéter de l'air car après quelques secondes, les boucliers rempliront les trous que nous venons de faire. Je suppose que soit RK ou Avatar peut piloter l'un d'eux et comme ce sont des machines, ils devraient juste pouvoir piloter les intercepteurs à distance. Évidemment, nous aurions besoin d'un moyen de les faire passer au-delà des mercs et de la milita, mais cela ne devrait pas être la chose la plus difficile depuis que le Geth a un manteau. Nous avons également accès aux lumières que nous pourrions encore utiliser pour masquer leur approche. Si ce n'est pas assez bon, nous pouvons essayer de faire une diversion à la porte gauche ici." Tacticus a dit pointer vers la porte gauche sur la carte que Sura tenait toujours. "Autrement que cela nous épargne tous ou la plupart d'entre nous. Mais c'est mieux que nous en essayant de nous battre à travers des nombres supérieurs. »
Sura a été visiblement surprise pendant un moment et a pris une seconde pour y penser. "Ça pourrait marcher... on aurait besoin de parler à Avatar et à l'autre AI, mais... ça pourrait marcher." Elle leva la main gauche à ses mandibules une seconde pour réfléchir et se tourna ensuite vers le geth. "Eh bien, vous seriez prêt à mettre votre "corps" sur la ligne comme Avatar. Nous allons essayer de provoquer une diversion à l'autre porte et vous donner la meilleure chance de ne pas être vu à moins que quelqu'un d'autre ait une meilleure idée."

Skills and Abilities:
Rookie - Tacticus has not participated in any combat against real hostiles. While he has been extensively trained and there are several veterans on the team, there is no true substitute to the real thing. This also lends itself to his biotics skills being limited aswell.
Cabalist - At 15 when Tacticus joined the Turian military he was immediately separated from his classmen and put into a Cabal training program. Among biotic training Tacticus was also given heavily specialized training as a shock troop, meaning he is skilled with pistols, explosives, and infiltration.
Combat Biotic - Tacticus's biotics are strong enough for his abilities to be used as weapons on their own. Most of his abilties are focused on augmenting his own body for the time being. Though his manipulation of mass effect fields beyond his own body are limited he only needs his hands to punch a hole through most people and objects.
Pilot - As part of his training in the Cabal he is rated to pilot most vehicles if need be.
Background: Tacticus was born to 40 year old parents both of whom were special forces in the Turian military. This meant that after parental leave one of them had to retire from active combat to raise Tacticus, his father ended up volunteering for the job and took a position planning operations while his mother continued her active service. Since he was an only child Tacticus was given quite a bit of attention from his father which ended up shaping him into a shinning model of Turian selflessness. Though since his parents were both serving the military Tacticus never stayed on one planet or space station long. This meant he generally had few friends which he always knew he would have to leave behind, he never became very attached to them as a consequence. That changed however when his mother was injured during an operation and forced to retire from her active combat position. When Tacticus was given the news he was pulled out of his class. The young Tacticus was so distraught learning this he accidentally discovered his biotics. From that point on Tacticus isolated himself from others his age as he did not want to hurt them. His parents knew that this would force him into the Cabals when he turned 15 so they decided it was best to wait out the last few years and provide support as best they could.
When Tacticus was signing his life to the Hierarchy he was afraid of what his fellow soldiers would think of him in basic. He knew the stigma he was facing, after all his own parents didn't trust him when he first found out. While the following year was not as bad as he thought it would be it still left him alone whenever they were not doing exercises or general training. But when all of their assignments were being dolled out Tacticus was immediately assigned to the cabals. Thus began his grueling two years of training.
An odd thing happened though when he became apart of the all biotic strike force. He finally felt like he was home. Most people in the cabal he was assigned to had similar stories to his and it made Tacticus feel like he truly fit in somewhere. The companionship Tacticus built up with his Cabal through blood, sweat, and tears during their demanding endurance exercises and the fact that they were alone together made him become extremely close with his squad and vice versa. The squad spirit that was exemplified through their well oiled actions later in training was one of power and determination to assist the Hierarchy in any way possible.
Recently the squad was given a handler and moved to the outer reaches of colonized space. They are set to provide security in the Pylos Nebula and to deal with any more dangerous elements that always pop up on new colonies. Currently however they have been assigned to a ship that will act as their temporary home.
