| SYBOK: "I trust your message was received? .... What you fear, is the unknown. The people of your planet once believed your world was flat. Columbus proved it was round. They said the sound barrier could never be broken. It was broken. They said warp speed could not be achieved. The Great Barrier is the ultimate expression of this universal fear. It's an extension of personal fear. Captain Kirk, I so much want your understanding. I want your respect. Are you afraid to hear me out? I'm sure you have many questions. Here, amidst the stars of our own galaxy, we shall seek the answers...together.... Sha Ka Ree. "The Source". "Heaven...". "Eden..". Call it what you will. The Klingons call it Qui'Tu. To the Romulans, it's Vorta Vor. The Andorian word is...unpronounceable. Still, every culture in existence shares this common dream of a place from which creation sprang. For us, that place will soon be a reality." |
