The crew's almost like a family. ...But no kids. I'm pretty sure Beka would hit me if I suggested she have a baby just so I could play with the little sprout when I was off duty. And I don't think Rommie and Trance can even have kids. It's probably just as well; I can't expose a child to all the dangerous things we go through anyway.

Sometimes I envy you, Gaheris. Maybe I should let Beka try being "the One" next and go live with you in the past. It could be like the retirement home for former Ones.
