Dr. M'Benga
[to Una and La'an] What do you two have planned for shore leave?
Are you kidding? They don't shore leave. They shore stay.
Dr. M'Benga
[laughing] Oh, right. The nickname.
[Nurse Chapel discreetly clears her throat and shakes her head.]
Dr. M'Benga
[now backpedaling] I don't know what I'm saying. I should probably go. Chief Kyle?
Dr. M'Benga
I can't remember. It's, uh...
"Where fun goes to die." It's stupid. The yeomen don't know what they're talking about. If they did, they wouldn't be yeomen.
Dr. M'Benga
So one day, out of nothing, an all-powerful being just appears? And this consciousness has somehow trapped our ship in the nebula? And turned the crew into characters from a book I've read?
At least it made you the hero.
[to Queen Neve (Cadet Uhura)] Turn away now, or I'll unleash the full power of my powerful wizard... powers. I'll... I'll... I'll... send you to the Event Horizon. A dark realm full of chaos and monsters and... [struggles for words]

[Hemmer starts breathing heavily and gesturing, as if he were trying to conjure a spell. Suddenly, he brandishes a communicator in his hand.]

Dr. M'Benga
Nice wizard powers.
I found this in Sickbay. I set it to trigger the transporter. They're in Cargo Bay 12. [speaking dramatically] Once again, the magic of SCIENCE prevails!! [normally, to M'benga] Too much? I know.
Dr. M'Benga
She's fine. She's alive. She's safe. But Una, I have been through something extraordinary. And no one on the ship remembers.
You know what happened in the missing five hours. Sounds like a hell of a story.
Dr. M'Benga
It is. It begins, like all good stories, "once upon a time..."
The Federation believes everyone deserves a second chance.
Dr. M'Benga
What about justice? What about the victims? Doesn't everyone deserve to pay for their actions?
So who decides, hmm? Who pays and who gets redemption? Where's the line?
Dr. M'Benga
You're right, Chris. We've known each other for a very long time, see eye to eye on most things. But you haven't lived my life. You have the privilege of believing in what's best in people. Me? I happen to know there are some things in this world that don't deserve forgiveness.
Imagine an area of space where quantum uncertainties collapse so rapidly and randomly that new realities are created. In one such reality, people sing uncontrollably.
So, what's next? More improbability? Or will we just suddenly poof into bunnies?
Dr. M'Benga
I would prefer not to be a bunny, either.
