THIS was running through my head at some point over the weekend. I didn’t make a note about it, so at some point yesterday I was scratching my head trying to remember what from _The Cage_ or _Menagerie II_ I thought so quotable. Thank you.

And now, from the first episode by production number, released essentially unchanged:

[Quote again from Star Trek transcripts site, with some minor edits (spacing, ellipses, note of pause) for effect.]

DEHNER: I’m sorry. You can’t know what it’s like to be… almost a god.  
(She dies)

KIRK: Enterprise from Captain Kirk, come in.

[Bridge]

KIRK: Captain’s log, Star date 1313.8. Add to official losses, Doctor Elizabeth Dehner. Be it noted she gave her life in performance of her duty… (brief pause)  
Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell, same notation. I want his service record to end that way. He didn’t ask for what happened to him. ☹
