It all ends tomorrow.

It sounds simple enough. Storm the Citadel. Activate the Crucible. Put an end to the damned Reapers once and for all.

I've seen battle firsthand. It's not about glorious explosions and the medals that come after. Battle is a gentle squeeze on the shoulder of a rookie who is probably going to die in the next hour. It's holding the hand of a corporal as he slowly bleeds out, his eyes focused on a point among the stars that only he can see. It's improvising with whatever meager supplies you have left on your person because you know that reaching the next base is a suicide mission. You plunge forward anyways. You finish the mission, whatever the cost. Losing even a minor skirmish isn't an option. Every victory is more lives the Reapers won't harvest.

I've been facing impossible odds almost from the day I joined up. I helped repel batarian slavers and earned the Star of Terra, the highest honor the Alliance can bestow. I wasn't thinking about being a hero. I was thinking my squad was about to die horrible deaths and maybe if one person took decisive action, there just might be a chance we all walked away instead of being carried off the field. I still don't really think of myself as a hero. I'm just doing my job. It's a little more exciting than being an accountant but I hardly see myself as legendary. They'll never name a ship after the likes of me.

Garrus will be out there, fighting just as eagerly as I am. No one will ever mistake us for Romeo and Juliet but I'm glad for what we had. He's one of the few I can totally rely on, despite him being a turian. I'd trust him over a lot of Earthlings I know.

I don't expect anyone to weep over me if I do die. The universe will continue its expansion and all the worlds will still turn. Still, I hope my final action will give my friends solace in knowing I lived my life to the fullest and made my death count for something. I hope the many life-bearing worlds will finally know what it is to live without fear of the Reaper menace.

Maybe I'll finally get to see what it is that corporal saw that gave him such peace when he took his last breath.
