Nestor 1
- Nanelia: The Sonar Tank. They're wearing sound baffles in case they get in front of it. Even if we plug our ears, we can't get any closer.
- Cowboy: [to the nearby Kelvin, who are trying to get his attention] Will you two radiators stand back? It's hard enough to think!
- Nestor 1: It seems they're volunteering.
- Cowboy: Yeah, what can THEY do?
- Nestor 1: Well, for one thing, the Kelvin have no ears.
- Nestor 1: We are Nestor.
- Shad: All of you?
- Nestor 1: [speaking of himself and the four behind him] This is but a facet. These are but facets. There are hundreds of thousands like us at home and scattered throughout the universe. We are Nestor.
- Shad: You're clones.
- Nestor 1: In a manner of speaking. We share identical consciousness. What one sees, all see. What one knows, all know.
- Shad: And all of you want to help us?
- Nestor 1: These five facets, yes. Four of us are required to operate this ship.
- Shad: What about the fifth?
- Nestor 1: We always carry a spare.
- [Nestor explains why "he" would like to participate in the Malmor-Akir War]
- Nestor 1: You see, there is only one Nestor, one consciousness. As you might imagine, this has proven very lonely, very dull. We must avoid becoming... we believe you have a phrase for it... becoming "bored to death."
- Shad: [drawing his handgun as he finds himself aboard Nestor's ship] Okay, what's the big idea?
- [All five Nestors turn to face him]
- Shad: Don't everybody talk at once!
- [None of the Nestors respond]
- Shad: Listen, if I don't get some answers FAST, I'm gonna have to use this thing!
- [Nestor motion causes Shad's gun-hand to turn against him, bringing the muzzle to his own head, which Shad vainly attempts to wrench away]
- Shad: Let me rephrase that.
- Nestor 1: [releasing Shad] You are not of a violent form. We sensed that you did not intend to shoot.
- Shad: You read my mind?
- Nestor 1: Among other things.
