"I'm not helping because you're an officer; I'm helping because you're carrying twelve things and currently losing an argument with gravity."

"Captain Pyrce makes command look easy, which I suspect is the first indication that it absolutely isn't."

"I can't promise I'll always make the right decision, but I can promise I'll never forget there are people living with the consequences."

"Jax, there is a substantial difference between improvisation and making things up faster than anyone can stop you."

"I don't need the comfortable answer, Captain. I need the correct one, and those are rarely the same thing."

"We're frightened, exhausted, and running out of options, but we're still here, so give me something I can work with."

"You don't have to hurry for me, Thomas. I'll still be here when you're ready to finish."

"Living things don't care what our textbooks say they're supposed to do, which is probably why I enjoy studying them."

"Captain, empathy doesn't mean surrendering judgment; sometimes empathy is what allows us to understand the decision we're actually making."

"Long before she became a legend, the Jackalope was simply an old starship carrying ordinary people toward something none of them yet understood."

"The funny thing about history is that its most important moments rarely announce themselves when they arrive."

"Years later, Jax Strauss would remember that corridor, that voice, and the final order of the man who taught him what command truly meant."

"Course correction complete. Captain Pyrce, Engineering has also requested that I remind you this maneuver was specifically described as inadvisable."

"Unable to determine. The phenomenon does not correspond to any event presently contained within Federation records."

"Captain Strauss... I remember."

"I know the regulation says to reduce speed, Lieutenant, but the regulation has never flown through this particular storm."

"My family thinks space is too quiet; apparently none of them have ever spent six hours beside a Tellarite engineer."

"Give me helm control and thirty seconds, Captain. I can't promise graceful, but I can promise we're not hitting that moon."

"Don't replace the component! Listen to the vibration first, because the machine has been telling you what's wrong for twenty minutes."

"Of course I'm arguing with you. If I didn't respect you, I'd simply let you remain wrong."

"Get my people out of Engineering first. You can worry about me when every last one of them is safe."

"I've served on ships where people introduced themselves with rank; aboard the Jackalope, they seem to introduce themselves through kindness."

"Ren remembers this place, Captain, but I don't, and sometimes that distinction matters more than people realize."

"Tell me why your people tell this story, not whether the story is literally true; that's where anthropology becomes interesting."

"The universe has enough people telling us what can't possibly exist; I joined Starfleet to go looking for what they missed."

"You don't command a crew by sitting above them, Ensign. You command them by making certain they know you'll stand beside them."

"Save the Jackalope and the crew. That's the order. Whatever happens to me after that is no longer your concern."

"Captain, your plan has seventeen identifiable weaknesses, which is admittedly three fewer than your previous proposal."

"Concern for another person is not inherently illogical; allowing that concern to prevent necessary action would be."

"Jonathan, I have served beside you long enough to know when you have already made your decision."

"The scans say you're healthy, but you just spent six hours believing you had never existed, so no, I'm not discharging you yet."

"Ontological trauma sounds complicated because Starfleet Medical refused my suggestion to call it 'reality hurts.'"

"I believe you experienced it. Now we're going to figure out how to help you live with remembering it."

"Oh, Captain, don't look so wounded; I rearranged reality, not your furniture."

"Mortals have such an adorable obsession with cause preceding effect."

"The question isn't whether I did this, Jax. The interesting question is why I thought you needed it."

"My sister once told me that if we could still hear each other, then we weren't lost, and I have spent most of my life discovering how right she was."

"Aubry, we're not choosing the easiest word this time; we're choosing the word you'll still want to remember when you're grown."

"The sensors can tell us what we're looking at, Captain. They cannot tell us what it means to the people standing beside us."

"Medicine becomes considerably easier when doctors remember there is a person attached to the symptoms."

"Captain, you may outrank me on the bridge, but in my Sickbay your heroic objections are merely another symptom I intend to treat."

"I'm not promising that this won't hurt; I'm promising that you won't face it alone."

"I'm not planning on wearing this uniform forever; I'm planning on leaving it someday knowing I earned the right to be proud of it."

"My great-grandfather knew cattle, I know replicators, and somewhere between those two things is a steak worth eating."

"Captain, I don't care whether it's technically my job; if the ship needs fixing and I've got two hands, point me toward the problem."

"A starship doesn't turn because you push the correct controls; she turns because you understand what you're asking her to do."

"Not me. This ship finally feels like home."

"Everybody hold onto something, because I'm about to do something Flight Control specifically taught me never to do."

"Mi, I said watch her for twenty minutes, not teach her three languages and give her dessert."

"Aubry doesn't need me to be a perfect father; she needs to know I'll come back through that door."

"Captain, Operations can keep us running, but I need five minutes and every spare watt Engineering can give me."

"Uncle Mi says every language has a word people don't know they need until somebody teaches it to them."

"Captain Pyrce, if nobody knows what's out there yet, how can they already know we should be afraid of it?"

"Daddy says grown-ups aren't scared; they just have more complicated names for being scared."

"A transporter pattern isn't just numbers; if you watch carefully enough, every living thing leaves a kind of signature."

"No, Aubry, I cannot beam your vegetables into space, and yes, your father specifically anticipated that question."

"Nobody energizes until I understand that pattern completely; I don't gamble with people."

"Nieland wants to know why it broke; I would personally like to stop it from exploding before we begin the philosophical discussion."

"Chief, with respect, I've repaired this three times, which suggests either I'm doing it wrong or this conduit hates me personally."

"Tell me where you need me and I'll stay there until the ship is safe."

"Anybody can look at the water, Jonathan; an explorer learns to notice what everybody else walked past."

"You don't have to catch something every time you cast a line, because sometimes waiting is the lesson."

"Keep asking what's over the next hill, boy, but don't get so busy looking ahead that you forget where you're standing."

"Captain, everybody else seems to know exactly what they're doing, and I'm beginning to wonder whether Starfleet accidentally admitted me."

"Environmental systems are stable, although Deck Seven apparently believes humidity regulations are optional."

"I'm scared I'll make the wrong decision, sir, but I'm more scared of becoming someone who's afraid to make one at all."

"Lieutenant Bryant says a good pilot listens to the ship, but so far the ship mostly seems to be telling me he's showing off."

"I didn't come this far to become somebody's idea of what an Orion woman should be."

"Helm responding, Captain. Give me a destination and I'll find us a road there."

"Plants are excellent teachers, Ensign Belsnickle; they have no difficulty allowing you to remain wrong until you finally notice."

"At my age, retirement means people stop interrupting me while I'm doing the work I wanted to do anyway."

"Don't tell this organism what it should be, Yulie. Observe what it has already chosen to become."

"Navigation solution plotted, Commander; the safer route costs us eleven minutes, and I recommend we consider those eleven minutes an excellent investment."

"My father taught me that recovery isn't returning to who you were; sometimes it's learning who you can still become."

"We're drifting off the projected corridor. Give me helm authority and I'll put us back where the stars say we belong."

"The translation is technically correct, Captain, but culturally you've just invited their ambassador to attend his own funeral."

"Diplomacy isn't finding words everybody likes; sometimes it's finding the words that allow everybody to keep talking."

"Give me ten minutes with their linguistic database before anyone says something we're going to spend ten years apologizing for."

"I... I know what I want to say. Sometimes the words just... take longer getting there."

"The nacelles aren't wrong; I moved them because the field would be more stable this way."

"You waited for me. Most people try to finish the sentence before I can."

"A computer remembers exactly what happened; a journal remembers what it felt like while it was happening."

"Jonathan, I'll have you know that three separate people have described my poetry as unforgettable."

"Ships don't become special because of their registry numbers, Captain. People make them special by leaving pieces of themselves behind."

"Chief Wrothe, I made your breakfast exactly the way you ordered it, which is why I assume you're about to tell me it's completely wrong."

"Captain, put down the padd and eat; Starfleet survived before your soup arrived and I'm willing to gamble it'll survive another fifteen minutes."

"People talk when they're fed, and sometimes what they say over a bowl of stew tells you more than any official report."

"Being Klingon doesn't mean I spend every morning hoping somebody gives me an excuse to hit them."

"Security's job isn't to win the fight; it's to make certain the people behind us never have to fight at all."

"You can threaten me if it makes you feel better, but you're still not getting through that door."

"Chief, I know the manual says to replace it, but you keep telling me the manual can't hear what the engine is doing."

"I checked the relay twice, recalibrated the sensor, and somehow I'm more confused than when I started."

"Give me another chance, Chief. This time I want to understand why I was wrong."

"D'Ars has seventeen hypotheses; eleven contradict one another, three violate known physics, and somehow two of those may actually be correct."

"Careful work isn't slow work; repeating the experiment because we were careless is slow work."

"I don't need credit, Captain. I need the numbers to be right before somebody trusts their life to them."

"Bad science gives you wrong answers; wonderful science gives you better questions."

"My father says knowledge you cannot sell is worthless, which proves my father has never discovered anything truly valuable."

"Captain, I have seventeen hypotheses, six contradictions, and absolutely no idea what's happening; this is magnificent!"

"Enough to know she'd rather explore."

"Being cautious doesn't mean assuming everyone is an enemy; it means making certain we survive long enough to discover they're not."

"Shields are failing, Captain, and I can give you perhaps forty seconds before our options become significantly less pleasant."

Give me your best Star Trek line/s.

Give me a bad guy voice.

Show me your vocal range (voice-wise).

"Mi, listen to me. If we can still hear each other, then we aren't lost."

"Don't think about how far away they are; think about the next place we can reach together."

"Promise me something, little brother: if you're scared, don't pretend you aren't—just keep moving anyway."
