Ah, but I am more perceptive than most of the universe. Especially the parts of the universe that are vacuum.

That's the first rule of command; be consistent! You can be sadistic, you can be lazy, you can be stupid, but if you're consistent the crew will still let you sit in when they play dominoes.

Don't be a little paranoid; worry about everything, or let it all go.

Deliberate choices are the only sacred things in the universe. Everything else is just hydrogen.
