I need you. I need Legionnaires who are dedicated, can keep a level head, and who I can trust not to die on me tomorrow. I need field commanders who will make the effort and not turn tail and run at the slightest inconvenience. I spoke to Megiddo, and it disagreed with me on this decision. But you and I are human, and the machine isn't God.
Effective immediately you're promoted to the rank of Fleet Captain. Wear the new insignia with pride, and don't you let me down.
