Wow.

I guess I have a lot to think about, now.

I've been offered my commission back...and my own command.

Apparently, from all the data that was collected from Dr. Angleman, Maggie Walsh, myself and the rest of the Initiative, it's judged to be prudent to have a permanent, low key military presence on the Hellmouth. As the most senior officer remaining from the project, I'm being given first right of refusal on the assignment.

Past experience has shown me that I can't trust the government...but if I don't take the assignment, who will? Will it be someone who will try to do something shady and horrible to Buffy and the others?

Can I protect them from within better than I could from the outside?

Times like these, I wish Forrest was still around...I could turn to him for advice.

Guess that's why I'm here...you were always a good ear to turn to. But you can't really advise me now, can you?

I know it's not my job to look out for her anymore, Mrs. Summers...but I'll still do what I can. I just thought you should know.
