I wanted to kill all of the Shang when I volunteered to serve. The United States military was willing to go with me on that, but one thing stood in my way. I really wanted to be a starfighter pilot. I knew I could do it. I was Ageless. I could do anything I wanted. But the cybernetic families had made a deal with the military to provide us the very best cybernetic partners to run our starfighters, as long as they got to choose their pilots. That’s why I had to talk a cyber into picking me. They did not want to bring a daughter into the worlds who would only ever know war. I totally understand their position. And I understand why most of them walked away from me. I really wasn’t a good candidate for a lifetime commitment back then.
