Megumi Yamamoto:
 * My father is a respected commander here. I am told his troop in The Boneyard has destroyed hundreds of Bane ships, that the ash runs green with alien blood.


 * I want to fight, but my father denies me that right. He thinks he will lose me to the Bane, like he lost mother. He fights for mother's memory, but I want to fight for mother too.

Conversation with Elene Chase

 * Megumi Yamamoto: Do you ever want to fight?


 * Elene Chase: Course not, child. Not everyone can be a soldier.


 * Megumi Yamamoto: I just feel like I should be out there... helping.


 * Elene Chase: They're always taking new recruits. Why don't you join?


 * Megumi Yamamoto: But father... with mother gone, I'm the only family he has left.


 * Elene Chase: You're a grown woman; you have every right to your own life.


 * Megumi Yamamoto: I know Elene. It's just not that easy.


 * Elene Chase: Have you talked to your father?


 * Megumi Yamamoto: He has enough to worry about.


 * Elene Chase: Well, I know you're miserable here. I appreciate your help with the kids, but I can see how unhappy you are.


 * Megumi Yamamoto: Did you know I was almost done training at the National Defense Academy when the war started?


 * Elene Chase: Really? So you always wanted to be a soldier?


 * Megumi Yamamoto: No. I would have dropped out if I was asked to serve. But now... now the fight has meaning.


 * Elene Chase: I understand, child. I understand.
