[@MrDidact]Oh don't think she's gonna out muslce a Krogan. In fact Alria is nothing about muscle. I'm pretty sure a Volus could beat her in an arm wrestling match. It's more an essence of, "She's so fast and accurate that she can't get hit and then she'll make a bunch of weaker punchs to vital areas like the face, temple, groin, throat, or flank until the target is subdued. Or you know... just use a knife."

As for the officer training I'm not sure how ME rank structure goes... but I was using IRL rank structure for that which being a Lieutenant by 21 is understandable.

EDIT: Also on that note... Alria doesn't have gene therapy but she does have that twitch jet thing... Only she uses a dagger not a sword... You seriously have a sword?
