I can't believe you decided to stay behind. Danger be damned, this was the chance of a lifetime.
Okay, I'll admit I had some doubts myself. The journey west to the capital was hard and we even saw the flashes of orbital battle lighting up the night sky over Pavonis when we passed through there. (Did you see any of that in Otrus?) But as soon as I got into the center of town here in Tash'n, all my doubts vanished.
There were large vid screens all over the city broadcasting updates about the aproach of the fleet from the first sphere Septs. When it looked like the humans had our ships blocaded, I swear no one in the whole city could speak. When we broke through, the cheers were deafening. It was another day before we saw the ships landing at the space port. Like everyone else, I just took that as my cue to gather and wait. We pressed into unity square, thousands upon thousands of us and waited. All four castes were there as equals, Vash'ya.
Finally, a convoy from the port made its way into the square. (Hammerheads and Devilfish flanked by Crisis Suits, all painted in the orange of the T'au itself! It was incredible!) The lead vehicle stopped behind the stage from where I was, so I only saw him when he stepped up from the steps that run under the Unity Day statue. I remember the light glinted off his honor blade and I felt like I could fly right then and there.
Aun'el Shi'ores was standing before me. the first Ethereal on Kronus for almost two hundred cycles!
"They have come to take our worlds," he said "to undo our works and to enslave us all. This cannot come to pass. For the Greater Good, we will not allow it."
Then we started cheering. I can't believe you missed it.
