- There may be a way. Although Khan banished us to Ceti Alpha V, he failed to relinquish us of our communicators. If you can source the signal from the Admiral’s communicator, we may locate him.

- Commander, I’m sure that I need not inform you that discretion will be a key weapon in our arsenal during this operation. It would benefit us to forego reinforcements in order to remain inconspicuous.

- With all due respect, Captain, I believe that your reasoning for having your officers sit the Kobayashi Maru test was to encourage us to face our fears and develop strategic thinking.

- Captain Spock, what a pleasant surprise. I most certainly wasn’t expecting to find you here. An Independent’s runabout is quite a step down from the bridge of a Starfleet vessel, is it not?
