Quotes 

• Tressa : I'll really be quiet this time. I won't touch anything.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : That would make it difficult for you to assist me with repairs.

• Alcia : It's perfectly natural to be frightened. You're taking a step into the unknown. The attendants would have helped you prepare yourself; you were never meant to face this time alone.

  Tressa : We weren't alone. Tuvok was here. He stayed with us and made us feel safe. He told us there was no morrok and that we shouldn't be afraid. He took care of us - even when we didn't behave as well as Vulcan children.

• [last lines] 

  Lieutenant Tuvok : We'll wait here as long as you like.

  Tressa : I know it's time. My only regret is leaving my family. My grandson. You remind me of him sometimes.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : You will still be with them in their thoughts, as you will be in mine.

• Lieutenant Tuvok : Vulcans believe that a person's katra - what some might call a soul - continues to exist after the body dies.

  Elani : Do you believe that?

  Lieutenant Tuvok : When I was younger, I accepted it without question. In recent years, I have experienced doubts. I do believe there is more within each of us than science has yet explained.

  Tressa : I know we should have more faith. It's wrong to be afraid of death.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : There is nothing wrong in choosing to live.

• Tressa : I'd like to hear a story.

  Corin : Tell us one about the Fire Beast of Sullus.

  Lieutenant Tuvok : I never understood the practice in some cultures of describing ferocious creatures in an attempt to lull children to sleep.
