"Yes, the people are the true power of a revolution. Without the people behind you, a revolution is doomed to fail." Sasha said. She kicked her boots back up. "We of the Coalition face insurmountable odds. We fight odds that would make your average game of Command and Annihilate look like a walk in the park. We have made tactical retreats, only to leap back into the fray to ensure no man gets left behind. Darren, 'hero' is a name given to the dead. Yes, we have heroes who live, but how many do you see? Most of the heroes of this Revolution have died. Why, tell me, should we risk the chance of having you join the Coalition, and dishonor thier courage and sacrifice for the Revolution?"
Sasha movedher gun away from Rassid. "And you. Be good, and I'll have Alicia bring in more coffee. You're scaring these recruits tovarich."
