I’d already given them a lot to absorb all at once, maybe too much. “There’s a powerful saying from my past that feels particularly fitting here: ‘Freedom isn’t free; it is paid for with the blood of patriots.’ The defenders of Kessik IV who lost their lives fighting the Hur’q were patriots, and its high time we learned the lessons this war has laid bare. Change is not just necessary—it’s overdue.”
