- What else would I be? Anyway, it was a hit and run. I believe the thieves were attempting to steal our vital deck water. What kind of heinous, backwater criminal would even consider such an act?

- The fish would be the first to go, of course, followed by the cetaceans, without buoyancy to support their bodies. It doesn’t take a professor of Astro-Aquatics to figure out Haplorhine Ops would be all that’s left.

- No? Your loss. Look, I’ll get right down to business. It’s no secret that you and Maia have witnessed much in your many travels. If I’m being honest, I might just be a teensy-weensy bit jealous.

- It has been said that I have an ego, and who am I to argue with what’s been said? To sate that ego, I need to prove something to myself. Or rather, I need you to prove something to me.

- Dialogue
- You mean IDIC – Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. It is the Vulcan guiding philosophy, known as Kol-Ut-Shan in their language. To quote Spock, it symbolizes “the elements that create truth and beauty.”

- Q
- Dialogue
- Oh, Spock schmock! Anyway, mine is more accurate, since the Q already encompass everything in your puny reality and then some. But let’s agree to disagree, and spell it “Qombinations,” shall we?
