Week 5: Tuchanka
II. Non-conventional tactics

"Vega, here's something for you; picked it up on the Alliance grapevine. Remember Hackett's brief on how conventional tactics would not help us against the Reapers?"

"'course I remember. Unlike others on this ship, I do read my superiors' directives... most of the time."

"Well, it seems someone took him seriously and came up with an alternative tactic for small-scale engagements. The idea is that Reaper forces expect units equipped with small firearms. What, the insane person behind this thought, if we were to surprise them with units prepared for another type of fight? Hand-to-hand combat for example?"

"That's loco! I have seen what those brutes can do at that range! Ahahahahaa! ...wait, why that smile? You are not saying that..."

"Oh but I am! They had to go and pitch this idea to the Krogans to get someone to listen. They got one of their battlemasters to come over and devise some strategies together with some top N7 operative. And get this: in the middle of all that discussion, a rogue ship full of Geth landed on the planet! It wasn't Reapers, but a perfect chance to test their theories out nonetheless..."

"Well Cortez, how did it go? Don't keep me hanging!"

"Surprisingly well actually. Wonders never cease, it seems."

"Ah, I knew it would work, compadre! What's wrong with swinging fists for a change I say! Now I wish I had been there..."

"As the human, Vega, or as the Krogan?"
