In all the years she had been fighting, she never thought it would come to this. The Council should have listened to her, but they thought she was going mad. The council was a waste of time. They didn't matter; all that matter was trying to save everyone from the reapers. Thousands of people were going to die if she didn't fight. All the people she cared about were going to be gone in an instant. Her crew, friends, and her lover. She would not fail them.

It was not an option

The Reapers are here

I will fight like hell to stop them and no one will get in my way

I am Commander Yuriko Shepard and I will fight to the death
