[Fuck.]

...you caught echoes of him too, huh?

[He sighed wearily, moderately annoyed with having to continue explanations.]

Back in April there was a Shifting accident were several people were 'reanchored' to different worlds, with a different set of memories from a different lifetime. I was anchored to Luke's world and timeline, and was heavily involved in assisting in the Rebellion. My skills were largely the same--hacking, sneaking, infiltrations--but they were used differently. I worked in intelligence, and did a lot of solo, under cover work.

We held the same rank, if you were curious. That's why if I ever refer to 'the Commander,' it's not you.

S' hard not to notice the sudden changes. [Watchful, this commander is.

...Still, she's not sure of whether or not she can trust her intently listening ears. A 'reanchoring'? So what, did that mean he'd forgotten entirely about his old world for the duration of that experience, or did he somehow go into it with all of those intact? ...From the sound of his story, it seems like the former was the more likely scenario. And now that she looks back on it, not once has he ever referred to him by rank; now she has the explanation for it.

...Lupin must be mentally kicking himself for having to tell so much. Thieves have a thing for being sneaky like that--it wouldn't surprise her.] Geez, one elephant after the other... Can't say I can wrap my head around this right.

[It wasn't an intensely private experience for him, and it was actually the Shift that he enjoyed the most during his stay. It left him with memories of a life that he could never have, and a deeper respect for Luke. He didn't mind speaking of it--records were in the journals if Shepard ever felt like digging, and the effects lingered among his friends. Sabriel and Aang still referred to him as Red, the Commander's preferred handle.

There were still moments when he wished that both lifetimes were equally valid, and he knew that the Commander felt the same.]

No one expects you to understand. This place is fucking weird, and it really screws with a person's mind. Just, next time? Believe me when I say that I'm the most qualified man for the job. Odds are high that I really am.

...Right. I'll keep it in mind the next time you decide to pull a stunt like that.
