Shepherd: Are you a reasonable man, Captain?
Pike: I'd like to think so, yes.
Shepherd: Then please entertain the proposition that M'hanit is not - as you continue to call Him - a comet. It is an instrument, an ancient arbiter, one of the few remaining in the galaxy. If it is His will to move, He will move. If it is His will to bring life, He will bring life. If M'hanit wills the planet to die, even chooses to die with it, then that is what will happen.

Uhura: Was that actually your version of a pep talk?
Spock: Yes, I've been working on them.

Confrontations with our mortality often cause us to see ourselves as if from the outside. Such perspective can be a unique opportunity. You did not intend on being here, but you are here. Hypotheticals are irrelevant. Today, you are quite simply the only person for the job. Will you rise to see it through?

Uhura: I haven't been able to translate it yet. It might take days.
Spock: You have less than one hour before the comet will impact Persephone-3.
Uhura: You do a lot of reminding people of deadlines, sir.
Pike: She does have a point, Spock.

Pike: We have to save that planet. We brought down the force field so how do we move the comet?
Ortegas: Let's face it. The crazy space monks will blow us out of the sky if we try anything to move that comet.

Captain's log, supplemental. I am left to wonder who made the comet. How many more like it are out there? Was it coincidence that fostered the chance for more life on Persephone-3 or something more?
