     It is no secret (nor should it come as any surprise) that humankind's most   
   noble impulses often surface during the most tyring of times, that human

   is born from human failings.   
   ..Is it any wonder, then, that the SDF-1 crew became a tighter family after   
   the fortress had been exiled than it had been before?
