Shusher, also called a Tactiusfex, is a system member who keeps other headmates quiet about subjects that they deem unsafe for said headmate to talk about whether in system or outside the system. This can manifest in many ways but a common way is for the Shusher to quiet those who are speaking too much about the systems abuse or trauma to those outside the system. These headmates often believe that what they are doing is for the best of the system.
