Rev Bem:
The first officer of your ship.

Captain Dylan Hunt:
More than that. My friend. He was supposed to be the best man at my wedding and then he betrayed me. Because I trusted him, the Nietzschean invasion got past my ship and the Commonwealth was destroyed. I lost my crew, my family, my friends, my fianc?. I lost the time and age I belonged to, Rev. Hell, I lost civilisation itself.

Rev Bem:
And now you're wondering is it worth reaching out to Nietzscheans?

Captain Dylan Hunt:
They're genetically engineered to be paranoid and selfish and treacherous. Am I right to be prejudiced?

Rev Bem:
As a Magog, my own genes predispose me to slaughter indiscriminately, eat my victims, lay eggs in the paralysed bodies of sentient beings. I think if you were truly prejudiced, you would have shot me on sight.

Captain Dylan Hunt:
It's not the same. You're a Wayist. You're the most peaceful person I know.

Rev Bem:
Ah, then in each species, no matter how horrible, there's room for improvement. You don't have to forget. You don't even have to forgive. But you must look for the good in the beings you encounter, otherwise your restored Commonwealth will be founded on distrust, and it will be over before it even begins.
