"That guy over there?"
He pointed at the armoured Defiant.
"He would have played a relevant role. Everyone else here was training to kill, to kill innocents. I'm sick of having my hands tied until civilians actually die."
"If I have to become a cold blood murderer, so be it. I'm just repaying them in kind."
Then he cast his gaze downwards and clenched his fist, self-loathing seeping through his voice.
"...or so I thought. Apparently, my conscience doesn't value the life of thousands of innocents that much."
