Memorable Quotes[]
“ | First contact is a delicate, high-stakes operation of diplomacy. One must be ready for anything when Humanity is interacting with an alien race for the first time. But we don't do that. Our specialty is second contact. Still pretty important. We get all the paperwork signed, make sure we're spelling the name of the planet right, get to know all the good places to eat. | „ |
~ Brad Boimler, on the importance of second contact missions (LD: "Second Contact") |
“ | You've been on what, four planets?" "Five, if you include Vulcan." "Of course I don't include stupid Vulcan! You may as well count Earth." "I was counting Earth." |
