I remember standing on Illos, chills running down my spine. I could smell the ancient stone and feel the aching depth of the stars. I remember bringing my people home from the suicide mission. I made mistakes on Torfan, I wouldn't let that happen again.
I remember promising her little blue children, maybe a quiet retirement in Ahern's old place.
I'm with you, fleets of Earth. I'll hold the line.

After Ilos, after dying once, nearly losing him on Omega to thugs and the Omega 4 relay.... efter everything.... Jess promised Garrus they'd find some place tropical and adopt little Krogans. Or turians... there's going to be a lot of orphans on Palaven that need homes after the Reapers savagely bombed the cities.
No help or food will reach those ruined cities after this tho - no more relay. The Turians in the armada will starve with the Quarian flotilla, now trapped in the Sol system without dextro-food they can eat. Thesia will remain in ruins. None of the planets ravaged by the war and the billions on billions left homeless will receive release or supplies.
I hold the line as well.
