That is not true. In the Galactic Alliance, you would have great value. You are human and you already understand what it means to be a soldier.
Coming from another world would also be a factor as you would add new ideas and an outside perspective. People are often offended when I speak of how things are in space and they assume that things are very rigid. I do not disagree that it is in many ways, however, the strength of humanity lies in its ability to adapt and innovate through superior intelligence. Therefore, I think you would be an extremely valuable person.
[ fortunately they're having this conversation via text message because that means she doesn't have to see his confusion with his particular choice of wording, referring to her as a person rather than as an asset as he ordinarily would have said. ]
In the last mission, we were ordered to retreat. I attempted to help others trapped by the enemy, but it was ultimately deemed a lost cause, and I was ordered to rendezvous with the carrier per the original order. As the Hideauze only desire to kill humans, they naturally pursued us. My Commander realised that in order to prevent the enemy from following the fleet, someone would have to stay back and intervene. As the lower ranking soldier, that should have been my responsibility, but he violated regulations and stayed behind instead. It is completely illogical. I am easily replaced. Chamber is a powerful weapon, but Machine Calibres of its model are mass-produced. The Commander's Machine Calibre was unique! Regulations are in place for a reason.
[ he's not angry about any of this or anything; it's fine. ]
