“He’s dying!’ Doctor Cove, one of the ship’s two medical officers told me, looking at his med-scanner as he kneeled at the broken body of the only living Corsair on the black ship. I remember the look on his face as he told me – which seemed more to be puzzlement than actual concern.

I never was any good at healing anything – and my job was doing the opposite, and I admit I’m pretty good at it. Always have been.”

Even though I did not become all those things, and unless my predisposition, in its youngest years, already had me leaning towards them, the interest that was there still shaped my philosophies. To this day I honor risk and sacrifice for the good of others - my views on life and love are heavily influenced by this.”

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can. The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job.
