Once again you enabled me, so here goes!

We all know about this dossier thing, right?

(I stole this screenshot from @hallabun, thank you!)

Let's examine the first sentence on this screenshot.

"The unit was formed as an ad-hoc disciplinary detail for biotics with below average service records."

Now let me translate this nonsense.

The term "detail" means that this squad was not intended to be permanent. A detail is a temporary group with a specific task that ends when the task is complete. So this squad was intended for one maybe two ground operations, and the term 'ad hoc' further confirms this. They were supposed to carry out a specific task and nothing else.

Disciplinary" means these guys and gals violated some regulations and are now being disciplined by being placed in this temporary group.

The fact that all of them have below-average service records means that they either misbehaved a lot or were generally bad at their jobs.

So basically, Kaidan was given a "shit squad" that was supposed to be deployed once or twice and fail spectacularly. But what happened instead was that they didn't just succeed—they were incredibly successful! So they were deployed again and again and again until they were upgraded to a permanent unit and then expanded into a whole-ass company! Over 100 soldiers, with now-Major Alenko in charge!

I have a post somewhere that talks about how the Alliance was very happy to sweep Shepard and the deceased members of the Normandy crew under the rug because they didn't want someone as notable as the Savior of the Citadel spreading conspiracy theories about a giant sentient machine invasion. And this is what they did to the surviving members of Shepard's crew.

Since Kaidan was third in the chain of command on board, he was probably blamed for the loss of life and reprimanded in this way. This ad hoc detail was supposed to be a career-crushing event, but he turned it around completely, and we should respect him so much more for it.

Thaks for coming to my TED talk.

Do we think Anderson specifically put Kaidan on the team in the Lt position not only because he's a good soldier but because he's a steady balance to Shepard's high-strung sense of duty?

im inventing a new therapy. it’s called ideal gentle dominant figure protocol. it’s where you imagine someone really sexy and thoughtful and soft-spoken meticulously designing your daily routines and tasks for you because they want you to take good care of yourself and ordering you to complete them. and for every tiny task you finish you imagine them calling you a good girl

[yalowbeerdedwiz]

Oh, no...
