The words carry none of the weight that would a human describing a similar torturous experience. The feeling of embarrassment in Jaakko's gut deadens a bit, as he is caught up with heavy thinking.
"Gods," Jaakko remarks.
He shifts the crutch to make it more comfortable to stand.
"I can understand how you feel," he admits, "I've fought the Deltans pretty much since I started my service a few months before Taiton. I fought them all the way to the closure of the Deltan front. Just today I was reminded of the raid on Tocatlan- it caused Taylor to lose her mind- but they murdered many of our own there. Our old CO was killed, Bell received grievous injuries, Yukamo and Geary were lost as well... Hell, you were there! We lost them all to that bastard Sky Marshal! I hope Geary is well taken care of in the Horde- but you see, now I can't stand the sight of them. The Deltans. I know they're humans, I know conscientiously they're in need of our help as they've lost control down there on the Delta, but whenever I see Coaxoch, or a Deltan, I can't help but feel apprehensive or feel my gut burn as if they're my enemy, even if I know, in my head, they're people," Jaakko soliloquize.
