"Works for me." Jii replied, and lifted Keller over his shoulder once more. "Kerec!" he called out, louder, getting the Romulan man's attention. "Take me to your leader!"

~Elaithin Jii, Miranda

"Men aren't meant to know a woman's mind, Son," Navas had told him once over a dinner that his mother hadn't cooked.

~J. Andrus Suder

Brian knew he could stand here and argue with the ghost of Maggie Vogler and with himself for hours, but one thing was certain: whatever he did, he wasn't going to be able to do it naked.

~Brian Elessidil

"Then again, unbeknownst to For'kel, she'd slept with Nathan 'Cowboy' Everett... after that, honestly, who would fear death?"

~Rena Starburst, Miranda

"Personally I won't be surprised if conspiracy theories begin to echo throughout the halls about Miranda slowly being undermined by the Empire through Arel."

~Unknown, Miranda

"Hello Commander," Albrecht greeted, his voice like gravel slate grinding together, while thinking he spat out gems.

~J.P. Albrecht and James Corgan

"....You're not. I'm a leader, you're a martyr. Leaders are wolves, Martyrs sheep. Leaders make victory speeches, martyrs cry about the state of the world and off themselves. Who do you think will get farther?"

~J.P. Albrecht and James Corgan

....As she stood there, surrounded by the blackness she felt him rise like a mist around her, along with a cold sweat that seeped out of every pore of her skin. She tired to grab hold of him in her mind, reach out and hook him, yet it was like trying to grasp mercury.

~Dhanishta Eshe and Jebidiah Baile

Who had designed this form? The Q? Was this one of their petty little games? No, Daren decided as he forced himself to relax, it wasn't the Q. Even they had standards.

~ Captain M'Kantu loses the war against bureaucracy.

"F**k you."

"You may do that whenever you wish, Lieutenant, I will remain at your disposal."

- Ambassador tr'Ahalaen

"Fine." Natalie tossed her weapons at his feet. "Go to hell. Oh wait...you're already here."

- Ambassador tr'Ahalaen

"…the next time he asks about You-Know-What I'm telling him you have a whole plate in your quarters," Kiel mumbled, before looking up at the Jemmie with a smile. "You liked the chicken finger basket. Why don't you have that?"

To get out of Ten Forward without a scene, the counselor was willing to back down over trying the hamburger.

"And if ya do I'll plant a plate in front of Major Kol's quarters so you can deal with him." Artim said with a grin. "And that's good too little one."

"I don't think Kol's ready for him," Kiel replied.

- Kiel and Artim

"Look, they love you!" Kate added excitedly, gesturing toward the rest of the room.

Laughing, he shouted back to her, "Well, they kinda have to . . . I programmed them."

- Counsellor Elessidil cheats in order to get a round of applause.

"At the very least," Daren observed. "With the Breen I was allowed to shoot back. Starfleet doesn't like it when we do that to Admirals."

- Captain M'Kantu, about Starfleet's rules of engagement.

"As if......." Alli shook her blond hair in denial her ponytail bobbing "Two questions........why did I get assigned a Pepporoni Pizza as a roomate, and why do you sound like some old British Nanny when you dont even have a mouth?"

- Crewman Allison

"Promises, Vrih, are like the hearts of women. They are made to be broken."

- Ambassador tr'Ahalaen

A flash of color drew Alli's glitter-speckled eyes to a series of small posters lining the front of the service counter.

GALAXY ARMORY: SERVICE WITH A SMILE! declared one drawing of a grinning crewman cradling a phaser rifle.

ASK US ABOUT OUR TYPE II HEAVY MORTAR SPECIALS admonished another.

WE PUT THE "OH MY GAWD" BACK IN ARTILLERY stated a third that seemed to be decorated with little shredded corpses.

- Crewman Allison views posters in the Galaxy's armory. Go Sec-You-Ree-Teh!

Taking the proffered gift Alli examined it: a small name badge labeled == HI MY NAME IS: ALLISON ==, and a greasy apron advertising : ==ASK ME HOW I CAN POLISH YOUR PHASER BARREL==

- Crewman Allison receives her standard issue attire as an armorer.

"For heaven's sake, blink! Even Data blinks!"

- Nara Roswell complains about Eve, Canon-style.

Bek's grin faded when he asked his final question to the Gorn lieutenant. "And if they have Scimitar-level cloaking technology?"

"I underssstand prayer can be comforting in difficult timesss."

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that. My people abandoned religion three centuries ago."

- The Miranda's Acting CTO offers comfort at these harsh times.

Steven sighed. "What will the Admiralty think of next? Household cats in Starfleet?"

She smirked, "Le'on."

- Be thankful that the miniature Caitian wasn't within earshot, guys…

"I do so wear a uniform Dearie." the Horta shrugged (which is admirable for something that has no shoulders)

-- Mary Poppins, Crewman Allison's roommate.

"There!" Alli put down her powder puff and struck a pose for her roomate, "Like how do I look?"

"Bipedal?"

- Crewman Allison. Who said Horta don't have a sense of fashion?

I've told the engineers that I will no longer accept 'the clone did it' as an excuse.

- Ella Grey's Chief Engineer's log. Does 'The Evil Snork broke the conduit' still counts?

"Almost done....promise," Alli ticked off each responce in turn, "Now in order to help us understand our customers better could you please list all the interests or activities you all enjoy participating in on a regular basis.........Sabotage?"

"Please. You are a Starfleet officer, not a sales representative. You don't have to do this." But in return all Branwen got was a patient smile. "I love it." She said.

"Propaganda/Disinformation"

"My biggest hobby."

" Destabilizing/Overthrow "

"We try to overthrow at least one government a month."

"Interstellar Espionage"

"Certainly."

"Black Market/Smuggling"

"That's a good tip. Must try that next week."

" Interrogation/Torture"

"Yes, and we have an opening for test persons."

" Crushing Rebellions"

"Bring on the big guns!"

" Military Reconnaissance"

"Boring."

" Border Disputes"

"Slightly less boring."

" Mutually Assured Destruction"

"Lovely."

" Golf ?"

"Eh?" Branwen looked up. "Stop right now, please. I'm sure you are a very nice person, but has anybody ever told you that you come across as slightly insane?"

"Slightly?" Alli popped her gum thoughtfully, "No....nobody has ever said 'slightly' before."

- Branwen and Ally. Customer service on the Galaxy takes a quantum leap!

"You moved all of your possesions to safe keeping before the battle?"

"Except my guitar and...."

"...and Ding Dongs yes I remember crewman..."

~Crewman Allison

"He doesn't know how to use the three seashells!"

~Saul Bental, Nara Roswell, and Eve

She looked at him with big eyes. "I'm not a wimp, Doctor. I'm used to pain. I was thinking of going home tomorrow, and then just doing my counselling duties for a while starting the day after. Does that sounds reasonable?" The anxiety gave her energy to talk quickly.

"'Bout as reasonable as as that Krieghoff lad in Security bein' a Counselor 'r that Artim bloke growin' a beard" the doctor grinned.

~Bob Mathieson and Branwen London
