''Rylan?! Piss-poor waste of space if you ask me. He's too old to hack it in a Viper, twenty years behind every ex-Viper jock who's moving through command now. Not fit enough to take what the Viper dishes out and his nerves are shot – when you get old, things start creeping up on you, like death. You can't hide behind that immortal feeling youth gives you anymore.'' - Master Gunnery Sergeant Alias Barns
