[@Letter Bee] I've already explained this, but I'll make it public.

Terra would very much want command, but there is [i]no reason[/i] on god's green earth why anyone would hire this surprise turncoat who just walked in from Japan.  So, for story reasons, I can't just take that slot right there.  Somebody else has to do it, at least until any sort of plot reasons for why that would change.
