Not quite. I was incapacitated at the time. [ Not entirely untrue. ] However, when Captain Maverick and First Officer Saionji were on their own and without a crew, I was the first to join them. As I said, it was only through a lucky string of events... But together, we discovered and fought the very first sign of that hostile faction. I was their first experience with an extraterrestrial, and I consider myself lucky that they were so open-minded. After fighting the creature that attacked us on those shores, by Edge's side, I am all too aware that he could have cut me down without effort had he wanted to.
