Summary
Conversations with Christopher Pike during the Menagerie, and on Talos IV afterwards.

"You know, there are some things you never really lose from being a test pilot. Being able to get into the cockpit of a new ship and figure it out quick, get something moving at full impulse and have it feel like it’s an extension of yourself in - a day. But after what happened…” he shakes his head slightly. “It’s like trying to fly a ship I don’t know, that’s not like anything I’ve flown, but the ship is filled with…”

“Why should I force myself through unnecessary pain just to fit? To interact with the world in a way someone else considers real and correct? I’m happy.” She shakes her head. “I don’t need to walk through their world in pain just to have them look at my body with pity. My body - that’s not my self. My body walking away from here, through another world, onto your ship, even - that’s not what makes me present. It doesn’t mean I can be myself there.”
-
“Maybe it doesn’t have to be a choice between limited interaction in our world full of pain,” Una continues, “or less pain here but interaction that’s … limited differently. We can change it."
