Don't mistake me, Marco. I'm not afraid of death. Even now.

I don't care if people come back from it, here. Mostly. It's a type of pain certain people don't need to be put through. Protecting the crew means protecting them against that shit every bit as much as real, actual death. I can't take their pain for them [this time...], but it isn't in me to just let them suffer on their own.

...I'll take that barrel, though, if the sun ever does rise again.
