Ona quotes from Krypton

Kem

Ona, this - is Mama Zed. Mama Zed raised your Uncle Kem.

Ona

He's not real my uncle. I just call him that.

Oh, that's all right. I'm not his mama. But I still think of him as family.

Ona

Sevi, why are you afraid? What's wrong?

Sevi has nothing to be afraid of. She's answered her questions well, and been promised eternal life.

Ona

Sevi, that's wonderful, isn't it?

Yes. I'm so happy.

Your choice will determine your fate for eternity. Take time to consider it well.

Why is faith important to you?

Ona

It means that everything has a purpose. That the purpose is good. That I'll see my mother again one day. It's faith that leads us to the Blessed Place.

Is that important to you, Little Sundrop?

Ona

How did you know that my mother called me that?

A few of the worthy, the special ones, I take into myself. I take their memories, skills, dreams. Everything that makes them what they are. Their template lives forever in me.

Ona

A template, that's a soul?

Your mother is here in me. You could join her. Together forever. Would you choose that?

Have you decided, Ona? Are you ready to give yourself over now, and join your mother?

Ona

That's not what I've chosen. I want to serve you here.

You are a surprising child.

Ona

I'm sorry.

One gets tired of always being right. I think I like surprises. [she gives him a tight hug] Perhaps it's time you saw who it is you've vowed to serve.

Ona

Born from the void of the universe, before time began, Almighty Rao, who kindled the sun and created all life, I submit to thee.

What makes you think Rao created all life?

Ona

Because I have faith. My mother told me faith's a journey that begins in hope and ends in belief of what you can't see, but know to be true.

Or it could be considered a delusion. The sign of a species not given to clear thought.

Ona

Is this a test?

Yes.

Ona

Do you think my faith isn't strong enough? What are you testing?

Your worthiness. Your city's, your world's. Do you deserve eternal life?

Ona

What happens to those who aren't worthy?

I think you know the opposite of eternal life, Ona.
