[When the Soleares returns it just half-lands, half-crashes.  The kind of damaged inflicted on it will do that.  But the damage to the AS is nothing compared to what its pilot just went through.]

You weren't on of the ones out there who opened fired when you had the chance.

No, but I was part of the group who fought the first Zehirut. Maybe if I had destroyed it sooner the Balmarians wouldn't have been able to make the adjustments they wanted to.

[He says that, sure. But Selena just looks at him and...]

... Lo siento. There's plenty of things I... am just fed up about right now.

I'm not going to blame Albhard for wanting his death to have meaning. But he was forced to do that by the Balmarians, the same lot who killed off the rest of us.

And I'm not going to let them keep getting their way.
