Haven't decided yet. More than a trillion trillion stars out there, most of them don't have names that I know. Maybe... three hundred that I do? I could just pick at random, and it wouldn't matter.

[Shepard takes the towel, scrubs it over her face. She listens, idly, to the expanding discomfort of Seviilia's world, and considers it the correct reaction. At some point, every soldier in the Alliance Navy stands out in space, looks back, and sees the distant disc of the homeworld, small enough in the sky that if you put your hand up you could block it from view.

It's appropriate to feel small, in the face of infinity.
