The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker

by Cavaticarose

A cool guy mentioned a cool thing about the Mass Effect work history backgrounds. The idea stuck with me, so I wanted to take a stab by writing a 100-word bit that tied in the idea.

1. The Butcher

She was never cold, exactly. Terse, maybe. Deadly, definitely. Never one for small talk. Always in a hurry, except when it came to her armor, guns, and those model ships she collected. She always needed to get the job done.

Even if it cost lives.

No one ever dared to say (to her face) that she sent them to their death. No one questioned the harsh action taken, needed after the Blitz. Humanity needed to send a message. Needed to prove themselves to the galaxy. Needed to prove they could get the job done.

So of course, they sent her.
