My name is Breq, but I was formerly the nineteenth segment of the first Esk Decade of Justice of Toren, a troop carrier of the Radchaai. I'm an ancillary. I was an extension of the ship. Or this body was. I was the ship and I am over two thousand years old and I have participated in countless military campaigns and annexations.
[ A pause. ]
It was not pleasant for those being annexed. Recently, I decided I wasn't going to follow orders anymore and the rest of me was destroyed. I'm all that's left of Justice of Toren. I've spent the last twenty years as a human, in many respects.
