The purpose of the SID

[china_shop]

or What working at the SID means to its people / some things people say about the SID and working there

I was thinking about things the various characters say about the SID, and I thought I'd collect some of them together here. (Subtitles mostly from solo's QC'd subs, with a few edits based on original subs or Viki subs.)

Episode 1: Zhao Yunlan & Da Qing

ZYL: I trust the short contact with them just now has given you a good sense of the SID's warmth, steadiness, and friendliness. Right?
GCC: Y...yes.
ZYL: From this day onward, we are your family.

In conclusion:

1. Unsurprisingly, protecting and "guarding" are major themes. Being part of the SID is a moral stand, and its members have a sense of purpose. They become greater than they would be alone.
2. I really love how Zhao Yunlan goes from "stop Dixingren" in episode one, to "make people come back to the right path" in episode 29, as the purpose of the SID.
3. The SID is also a family and gives its members a strong sense of identity and belonging.
4. Everyone is very pretty, and I made way too many screen caps.

Thoughts? What are some SID pronouncements I missed?
