L'eerie de rien d'autre que leurs pas et les recylcers d'air mettent Tacticus sur le bord. Il avait l'impression qu'ils auraient dû voir un ennemi. Après tout, on les traquait autour du navire. Alors qu'il ne se plaignait certainement pas, ça semblait... bizarre. Il a deviné qu'il était possible qu'une bonne partie des gardes étaient déjà engagés dans le combat avec les humains, mais cela n'a pas été de bon augure pour eux voyant comme s'il y avait une assez grande force pour submerger les humains qu'ils ne vont pas beaucoup mieux. Au moins s'ils étaient morts, ils ont eu ce qu'ils méritaient de penser Cactus avec un peu de satisfaction morbide. Depuis la fusillade dans la salle de réunion, il s'était tourné vers son pistolet-machine en voyant qu'être précis dans un couloir était relativement facile.
Quand les Geth et Donny ont arrondi le dernier coin, tout a commencé à bouger à la vitesse de la foudre. Les deux qui formaient le fer de lance du groupe ont sauté en arrière et se sont serrés brusquement contre le coin alors qu'une grêle de balles était arrachée du couloir devant lui. Sura a dit aux diplomates et maintenant Quarian de rester comme la Cabale s'est formée autour d'elle. Puis avec l'Asari sautant dans le chemin des balles avec une barrière jetée devant elle appelant à une grenade. Une des femmes cabalistes s'est évanouie. "Êtes-vous fou? Tu vas nous tuer!"
Cela a suscité un rire des Asari et une rétorsion « Vous avez un étonnant manque de foi dans notre capacité à remettre la barrière en place avant que nous mourions tous. » Sura a tiré sur son soldat un regard pour parler hors de son tour, puis elle a rapidement fermé sa mâchoire dur et a pressé ses mandibules contre son visage encore plus dur dans la honte.
"Les gardes puis les boucliers." Sura a dit d'attraper la seule grenade que la Cabale avait de sa propre taille. Elle a ensuite donné à tout le monde un regard les informant qu'elle avait l'intention de l'utiliser. Tout le monde a hurlé et s'est empilé sur le coin. Puis toute la Sourate soudaine, Numso et un autre Turian sautèrent de derrière le mur de chaque côté de la barrière de l'Asari. Tous trois se sont chargés d'énergie biotique et ont tout éjecté à travers leurs paumes. Puis deux autres Turians et Cactus sautèrent de derrière le coin tandis que les trois Turians d'origine tombaient en arrière. Mais au lieu de jeter l'énergie biotique pure hors Tacticus a sauté derrière le bouclier de Voira et les deux autres Turians ont jeté des barrières de leur propre. Ainsi, ils couvrent efficacement leur partie du couloir du plancher au plafond avec des barrières. Sura a alors commencé à briller avec de l'énergie biotique à nouveau et a crié. "Arrête ça!" Soudain, un trou dans la barrière s'ouvrit vers le plafond et Sura jeta une grenade renforcée par ses biotiques vers le Turian et le Krogan. Alors que la grenade a dégagé les barrières, le trou s'est rapidement rempli et Tacticus s'est préparé à se charger dans l'amas d'ennemis et à terminer le combat. Mais d'abord le champ a dû être labouré.

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.
