Hemmer quotes from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Hemmer

Uhura. I want to leave you with one last piece of advice. Open yourself. Make a home for yourself amongst others, and you will find joy more often than sadness.

Stay awake! Okay? Let's get you talking. So, an Aenar in Starfleet. How's that even work? Thought you guys were all pacifists.

Hemmer

I actually wanted to be a botanist. I love flora. I will not fight for Starfleet, but I will defend its ideals. Pacifism is not passivity. It is the active protection of all living things in the natural university.

Hemmer

Humans waste so much life worrying about death. The Aenar believe the end only comes once you have fulfilled your purpose. It provides meaning.

I like that. So, what was your purpose?

Hemmer

To fix what is broken.

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?

Hemmer

At least it made you the hero.

Hemmer

[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]

[aside to Queen Neve] There is no such place, my Queen. He's bluffing.

Hemmer

ABRA... KADABRA!! [presses a communicator button; Queen Neve and her minions are transported away]

Dr. M'Benga

Nice wizard powers.

Hemmer

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.
