I'm a would-be traitor. I've been talked out of it, but if history had progressed along the expected path, I would have turned against my military for betraying my people. I intend to try to change history now that I'm more aware.

But if I don't recall what I've learned here, if I can't go back, then I will place my faith in parties that don't deserve it and I will die. [And from what he's heard, by his own choosing, which is a monumental shame to what he is.] For someone whose culture is steeped in survival, it's a lot to take in. [Not to mention that his own people fail him as certainly as the Commonwealth did.]
