"We're going to need a little extra help to take down the Reapers... And I know just the alien to help us out."

"...There must be a mistake. This dossier doesn't give a homeland, a species, or a gender."

"A lot of people seem to think it's a biotic turian with a tail, so we'll just go with that for now. As for what gender it is, that depends on who you're asking and how frightened they were when they met it."

"Great, one of those... How am I supposed to address an unknown, genderless alien drifter?"

"I'll leave that up to you, commander... My best advice is not to piss it off. Last time it was seen addressing someone, it was trying to 'correct' the manners of a Blue Suns mercenary..."



It's name is Kemungkinan... Most call it Kemu. I'm not going to tell you what I mixed to get it, but I can say it's mostly turian. If you really want to know, it'll tell you itself. It's very mannerly and expects others to mind their manners around it... Or it'll either try to turn you inside out with biotics or spit a volley of high-velocity poison darts at your face. It doesn't speak much, but it sounds a bit like a soft-voiced turian and impossible to differentiate between male and female tones.

Kemu doesn't seem to have any tech skills, but what it lacks in the "general" category is made up for with pure biotic skills. It wears a necklace of a Lorenz orbit under its robes and seems to cherish it, often tracing the symbol with its claw on a table or something if it finds the time to be sitting still for more than a few minutes. Rarely does someone see Kemu sitting in one place for too long... An even more outstanding feat if one person sees it more than once. No one has ever seen it climb into a ship and fly off, so no one knows how it's getitng from one planet to another. Some wingnut theories say it takes off into outer space unaided and falls through the atmospheres of whatever planet it wants to land on, but the most logical theory is that it hides on whatever ship strikes its fancy. Its footsteps are almost completely silent, despite the massive claws that can be seen flashing from under its robes. Its hands seem to be a little clumsy at times, but the rest of its body is a slow, graceful poetry in motion. No one has ever seen Kemu in a hurry... For anything.

It wears what some younger humans call a "warlock robe" at all times, having small loops and lengths of fabric to make up for its short, spiked tail. No one has seen it wearing anything else, and only one person can claim to ever having seen it without its hood. This young quarian was lucky enough to have a decent conversation with Kemu, even if it was only for a few minutes. It showed interest in learning about era-related behavior and biology, but when the quarian boy asked about its stance on combat, it seemed to reflect on some distant memory and changed the subject.

Kemu has already shown a passionate hatred for the Reapers and all the forces they command, which is the only lead anyone has of it being an ally. When approached by anyone, it will politely find a way to end any further approach and disappear from sight at its nearest convenience, typically never to be seen again for quite some time. It's typically sighted by turians, however, which shows some possible memetic connection to their biology... Whether it is truly dextro-based is unknown, seeing as no one's ever seen it eat, either.
