Memorable quotes[]
- "I served under a man who had a very flexible view of the Prime Directive. He didn't have much patience for politics and rhetoric. If he knew that innocent lives were being threatened, he'd move heaven and earth to save them, and the Prime Directive be damned". - "George"
- "I will not have this family go to Sto-Vo-Kor and recite to Kahless how we tried to trick honor - how we held hostages unrelated to our battle and tried to run from our duty like Ferengi picking holes in a contract of their own making" - K'Taran
