I want to help. The people here- they deserve better than all the bullshit they keep getting caught up in. I think I can make a difference. Guess I've lived here long enough to give a damn.

Besides, I know now that things back home aren't going anywhere while I'm here. Believe me, if I thought I was going to be stuck here while the Reapers tore through the Galaxy, I'd be kicking down the door to the Porter within the day.
