[ How do you even handle transdimensional espionage? It's beyond him. Stow that for now. This is about the team. ]

But for right now, if it helps everyone's peace of mind: I can tell you that I'm a soldier. I've spent the last twenty years at war with a half dozen alien species working together to wipe out humanity.

I took the oath before we knew about Chronoblivion, because the Legion represents my best chance to return to my chain of command. Now that we do know, it's fulfilling my primary duty: The protection of humanity against the threat of extinction.

Is there anything else?
