☭ Mass Effect
There'd been a time where Cayne hadn't planned on commanding his own ship, but now there was nothing he could imagine himself doing.
He's more than happy letting Shepard have the spot light, dealing with most of the diplomacy and handling tabloid press /perfectly/ -- Punching a nosy reporter in the face more than once? He couldn't have done better himself. Cayne's always lived for the grunt life anyway, running the hard and fast missions, doing what needed to be done, things no one else wanted to do. And Goddamn if he didn't have one of the best crews he could possibly ever hope for, even if they were looked down upon for being a massive jumble of races.
And maybe he's not the nicest guy in the world, but hey, playing nice and fair doesnt win wars. It might get a shoe in with dignitaries, but it gets you killed in combat, and that's always been his stance on things.
So he's gotta fight hard, fight dirty, and get those fucking machines out of his galaxy.
