Editing Marcia Lorata (section)

== Background ==

Raised in a frontier colony on the inhospitable world [http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Invictus Invictus], Marcia learned self-sufficiency and patience. That was also where she had her first experiences as a tech expert. With equipment quickly decaying due to difficult surface conditions, it was a matter of survival to become efficient at improvisation.<br>

She was recruited into a cabal earlier than usual due to her biotic talent surfacing young. Her team members became a substitute family, as life on Invictus was an increasingly more distant memory. Together, the Alegia cabal have carried out missions on the outskirts of Citadel space, including extraction, asset recovery, removal of aggressive factors and civilan rescue. They specialised in working in difficult conditions.<br>

Marcia accepted the transfer to a new team quietly. While the papers spoke highly of her dedication to the Hierarchy goals, highly honed biotic skills, a talent for improvisation and excellent team work - whoever signed them possibly forgot that cabals tend to be tightly knit groups that rarely disband. Despite her stoic appearance, Marcia misses her team mates and wonders whether the transfer was a promotion or a demotion.<br>

She is generally patient and goal-oriented, enduring adversities stoically and with good cheer. She does have problems interacting with civilians (especially non-Turian) due to spending a long time in a small military group. She can also get oblivious to needs of others as she has simply come to expect everyone else to be also patient, durable and well prepared.<br>

=== Quotes ===

<blockquote>"This duck tape will hold until the rescue comes. Yes, I tested this in jungle conditions. No worries, these cables have good resistance; they won't burn. What do you mean, 'not a permanent solution'?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I know it's not mapped; this is the right road though. We're under cover and we'll miss the possible ambush, maybe even shave off some travelling time if we're lucky. Yeah, I know the ground is swampy. But it could be worse. There could be local fauna. We're good."</blockquote>
