Trymir seemed to remain quiet as he heard Theo utter his words. If Trymir had the ability to smile, he would have done so at that moment.

"You want to survive", repeated the high commander as he tasted on the words. "No other words could have held more truth or honesty to them than those. To survive is to live. To throw your lives away for the sake of rescuing ungrateful survivors of this world. Does that sound appealing to you? Of course it doesn't. There is nothing to be gained by doing so. Sure, you might have saved an unknown amount of people by sacrificing yourselves to a gigantic monster that does nothing but eat, drink, kill, shit and screw. But what do you stand to gain? The people you are saving will not know your names. They will never know just what you gave away so that they could go back to their daily lives, never spending a single moment thinking of the man or the woman who gave layed down his or her life for their sake."

Trymir remained still for a moment and observed the group under caution. "You fight for yourselves. You fight against these monster because you want to survive. Though the definition of surviving can mean many things. If surviving to you means that you will die so that some ungrateful bastard may live on, then so be it. You are happy, in whatever afterlife you may visit. Or..." He made a small pause. "You will fight to survive, and this survival means that you will live on to see the end of these creatures. You will survive and live on to see mankind reclaim what we lost those many centuries ago. You will survive and tell those monsters that no man or woman will ever bow to their whim. You will survive to have families of your own whom you can entrust with the story of just how you came to survive to ensure that mankind had a future."

He looked at them curiously. "If these are the values of survival you hold to your heart... if these are what the definition of survival means to you. You have my respect."
