Sacrifice: Sam

I haven't slept much.

I still can't believe the Colonel did what he did.

It should have been me, though I know he would never have let me go through with it.

He'll always put himself in danger rather than risk a member of his team.

I want to hate him for that, sometimes.

I know he has his own way of handling things, but someone should be with him now. He needs to know his friends won't give him up without a fight.

He says it'll be worth it if we do find everything we're looking for to defend the planet.

I think the cost is far too high.
