Kamin quotes from Star Trek: The Next Generation

I think you're still trying to figure out where you are. Where that ship of yours is. How to get back to that life.

The memory is five years old now, but it's still inside me.

Was your life there so much better than this? So much more gratifying, so much more fulfilling, that you cling to it with such stubbornness?

Eline.

It must have been extraordinary. But never in all the stories you've told me have you mentioned anyone who loved you as I do.

It was real. It was as real as this is. And you can't expect me to forget a lifetime spent there.

Yes, I can. I've been patient Kamin. For five years I've shared you with that other life. I’ve listened, I’ve tried to understand, and I have waited. When do I get you back?

You've taught me to pursue the truth, no matter how painful it is. It's too late to back off now. This planet is dying.

Perhaps I should have filled your head with trivial concerns. Games and toys and clothes.

I don't think you mean that.

No, I don't. It just saddens me to see you burdened with the knowledge of things you can't change.

Father, I think I should marry Dannick sooner rather than later, don't you?

Seize the time, Meribor. Live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.

We hoped our probe would encounter someone in the future. Someone who could be a teacher. Someone who could tell the others about us.

Oh, it's me, isn't it? I'm the someone. I'm the one it finds. That's what this launching is. A probe that finds me in the future.

Yes, my love.

Eline.

The rest of us have been gone for a thousand years. If you remember what we were, and how we lived, then we'll have found life again.

Eline…

[the rocket rises into the sky] Now we live in you. Tell them of us, my darling.
