Rich: I have to ask... why?
Dey: Why what?
Rich: Why pick me? I'm so completely average! Ordinary! A loser!
Dey: Exactly. You are ordinary. You are also loyal, trustworthy, and plainspoken. You are an average young man from an average life. The corps always recruits individuals who best represent the typical qualities of their species. We find they make the best centurions. They bring with them no arrogance or pride, no self-importance or elitism. They understand the responsibility. They appreciate the duty. They are the honest bedrock of the corps. Does that make sense? Now, help me save your world.
