No kill I
We are so getting fired for this.
Now this is how I prefer the Borg. In pieces!
Klingon. Shatter the cranial exoskeleton at the tricipital lobe. Death is immediate.
No. Not like this. I haven’t faced death. I’ve cheated death. I’ve tricked my way out of death and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing.
We’re human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands, but we can stop it. We can admit that we’re killers, but we’re not going to kill today. That’s all it takes. Knowing that we won’t kill today.
Get off my ship. You’re a dead duck here. You’re powerless. We know about you, and we don’t want to play. Maybe there are others like you around. Maybe you’ve caused a lot of suffering, a lot of history, but that’s all over. We’ll be on guard now, ready for you. So ship out! Come on! Haul it!

His hands were moving faster than I could see, trying to stay ahead of each breakdown. He refused to give up. He was remarkable. It just wasn’t meant to be.
Zeus… Hermes… Hera… Aphrodite… you were right… Athena, you were right. The time is passed. There is no room for gods. Forgive me, my old friends. Take me. Take me.
I canna go on! I’m tired of happiness. I’m tired of comfort and pleasure. I’m ready! Kill me! Kill me!
Goodbye, cruel universe.
Our species can only survive if we have obstacles to overcome. You take away all obstacles. Without them to strengthen us, we will weaken and die.
Beauty survives.
