Chapter thirteen: Tarak
Tarak sat hunched forward with his cybernetic arm cradled. That bastard Archangel…He spat out some chew and threw his combat knife at his the flimsy target board that hung on the ship's wall. It hit its mark: a crude picture of Archangel's accomplice Commander Shepard smack dab in the forehead. Jentha was dead because of those bastards. She had been with Tarak since the beginning and now she was kicking up dirt. Tarak retrieved his knife and gun. Both once belonged to her. Now they were his and both would find a home. First a bullet behind the turian's skull plate and second, a blade wrenched deep into that human's fragile little heart.
Tarak glance downward at the crude engravings that lined the sides of both knife and rifle. He had taken time carving Jentha's name into both. He wanted them to see her name before they died it was only fitting. Tarak spit more chew and sheathed the seriated blade.
He needed a new strategy. Overwhelming them didn't work and a gunship…all Tarak had to do was glance at his cybernetics to remind him of the results of that. Jentha was always the better tactician. It was then he remembered one of Jentha's sayings. "To kill the general, kill the horse." At first he didn't understand what she had meant and had to explain what a horse was. As he sat there Tarak packed his gums with the last of his chew, Jentha's words echoing in his head. Tarak rethought his plan of attack. Even in death Jentha was still supporting him. He readied his gear and marched out of the cargo bay. On his way to the bridge of his cruiser Tarak clicked on his Omni Tool comm.
"Bring up every file we can on Commander Shepard's team. Find out who they are and how we can hurt them the most." Tarak ordered levelly. There was a brief silence and then Gru, Tarak's new second replied.
"On it, boss." Tarak felt his cybernetic hand tense up. His blood was starting to itch at the tips of what remained of his hand. He was getting excited.
