The only person on this ship who gets paid for what they do is you, Alix. The rest of us live off our trust funds and we use those funds for our humanitarian missions. I do what I do because I canโt stand to see innocent people bullied by a corrupt government.

It doesnโt mean I donโt love you โcause you know I do. Make one snotty comment in anger when youโre twelve years old going through puberty and getting grounded, and you pay for it for the rest of your life. Parents ainโt got no sense of humor. (Omari)
