Aboard this ship, in the middle of space, I am free to define myself according to my will. I choose my axioms, both human and Vulcan, upon which I build my own mathematics.
The Captain is not limited to a single set of axioms. Studying him and discovering the rules that govern him have yielded unforeseen results. Even more surprising are the opinions of the crew regarding him. Their admiration and respect has grown with every mission, but their perception of the Captain as a member of their ranks is disappearing. He is the Captain, friendly and open, but not a personal friend. He is unorthodox and sometimes strange. His brilliance borders on madness and his devotion borders on obsession.
He bends and breaks and believes the parallel postulate as he pleases, as it is useful, at his convenience. At his core, he burns with a drive to discover, push out into the dark of space, the thrill of the unknown, to live and thrive and fly and be free. To stand in the light and touch the darkness.
