[ his own allegations against ALASTAIR do seem to fall short at the notion of this specific crew of people being sent to face the titans. they had worlds of their own to care for, family and friends. experience for facing the end of the world? forget it. he wouldn't wish it on any of them.

thus he's pensive on this. pensive, but dismissive for the sake of everyone here. ] It's not gonna happen.

My squad was responsible for several hundred, I'd say. When it comes to just kill counts, we only hit high marks. But that's only natural, when those with the highest odds of killing are branded less expendable than the rest. [ in fact, even this squad he refers to... had their winning streak cut short. ] I wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for all the people who had to die to carve us our path.
