We're the same. We share the same history, the same heritage, the same
lives. We're tied together beyond any untying. Man or woman, it makes
no difference. We're human. We couldn't escape from each other even
if we wanted to -- that's how you do it, Lieutenant! By remembering who
and what you are! A bit of flesh and blood afloat in a universe without
end. And the only thing that's truly yours is the rest of humanity.
That's where your duty lies!
