Avatar avait effectué des simulations sur différentes approches de la situation, bien qu'il n'ait pu exécuter que 468 298 cas de la prochaine fusillade depuis qu'il a appris la blessure de Ruvea. Dans l'ensemble, il n'a pas pu déterminer, dans une marge d'erreur acceptable, quelle approche serait la plus susceptible de réussir, mais les intentions de Sura d'effectuer simplement une opération de compensation standard étaient loin d'être optimales.
"Alerte: une attaque standard n'est pas conseillée. La probabilité que les forces ennemies créent une embuscade est d'environ 96%. Les pilotes humains de la navette sont toujours en vie, et la navette n'a pas été violée, mais les forces ennemies sont probablement capables de le faire à tout moment, soit avec un contrôle de sécurité, ou des explosifs. Comme ils ne l'ont pas fait, il est probable qu'ils ont eu l'intention d'utiliser la navette pour attirer ceux qui ont survécu à l'embuscade initiale. Par conséquent, ils s'attendent à ce que nous tentions de revenir à elle. Je recommande d'exécuter un plan d'attaque non standard pour confondre les défenseurs." Avatar m'a expliqué.
En activant son omni-outil, Avatar a projeté plusieurs enregistrements photographiques de la pièce, ainsi qu'un modèle 3D simulé qu'il avait créé à partir d'eux, qui comprenait les positions de couverture que les forces ennemies avaient déployées et leur distribution moyenne basée sur les itinéraires de patrouille observés. "La station VI a effacé la plupart du virus que j'ai téléchargé dans les systèmes de la station, mais il reste un fichier de conséquence que j'ai caché dans les systèmes. Une fois activé, il détournera toute puissance dans les sas vers l'éclairage de secours, qui désactivera les feux primaires, et surchargera les feux de secours. Est-ce qu'un membre du personnel de combat est incapable d'avoir une vision basse lumière? » C'est ce qu'il m'a demandé.
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.
