Fate. It protects fools, little children, and ships named “Enterprise.” Wait a minute – you’ve been declared dead. You can’t give orders around here. That might’ve been one of the shortest assignments in the history of Starfleet. Yes, absolutely, I do indeed concur, wholeheartedly! Could someone survive inside a transporter buffer for 75 years? Flair is what marks the difference between artistry and mere competence. I think you’ve let your personal feelings cloud your judgement. Sure.
