" Would you like to know why you trusted me, Captain?" Telemachus took a deep breath, drawing on that part of himself that wasn't broken and dripping with alcohol. That part of him that was still a Commonwealth officer, who believed utterly in what it stood for.
"You once tried to shield me from the truth. From what my ancestor Gaheris Rhade did to you. I do know what happened that day. You tried to shield me from the truth. I hope that his actions do not weigh on my own." It wasn't as if anyone could hide it. Telemachus looked exactly like Gaheris, down to his DNA. So,it was down to nature versus nurture. Was Telemachus destined to be a traitor, just as Gaheris?
What had happened to Gaheris really wasn't hard to figure out, with the stories both sides told. And then there was the body.
"My life on Tarazed, and with you on the Andromeda, I had a purpose. It was my goal, my wish, to learn from you. You, Captain Dylan Hunt, are the only one to defeat our supposedly superior race, time and time again. You've shown honor, integrity, and ability in both times of war and times of peace. I understand you have no reason to trust me right now. You're experience with Nietzscheans has not been....stellar. Consider me as the new Nietzschean. I am not Tyr Anasazi. Nor am I Gaheris Rhade. Neither understood the opportunity given to them. To serve with Captain Dylan Hunt, and learn from him."
He is such a suck up
