"Yeah," Wash said.

But then he sees the question.

"For trips," he said. "I like seeing the friends I've made and seeing cool stuff in other places." And he does. He's made a lot of friends and there's a lot of cool worlds.

"And it helps. Some people are from places where they can't get a happy life. Sometimes its just their lives. Sometimes their worlds are in even more dire straights than the war. I've helped people relocate to places that were welcoming of new people and let them have a fresh lease on life," he adds.

It comes up.

A lot.

Chorus even has a few. Its amazing how much having the gratitude of an entire planet makes it easy to get around things like paperwork and maybe they have a few extra appendages.

"But I have a team to get back too. Some Red and Blue sim troopers, if you can believe it. I might have more friends and family, but when I think of home, its them I think about." There is a pause. "I owe them my life. I'd have died years ago if they hadn't taken a chance on me."

Then a wry grin. "Carolina's there too. She found me with them. And depending where she's in the timeline, she'll back me up that despite all logic and reason, those guys do get under your skin and next thing you know, whoops, you're part of the team, no take backsies, they will fight an army to get you back and somehow they actually manage it."
