I spent years in fighting bloodier than anything the Pendulum has seen outside of maybe the ground combat on Floseswin—I’m still not sure they’ve matched the ‘millions dead in twenty minutes of local time’ that B-R, X-47, and M2-XFE reached, but if anywhere did, that was it. Over a hundred thirty of ‘me’ have died in that fighting, in everything from Corvettes to Carriers and Force Auxiliaries, and I can’t count the number of lives I’ve seen lost.
I’m tired of war, tired of all of the senseless, stupid death, and all of the nonsense that goes with it. And if I wasn’t, I’d be flying for the Republic.
