* Admiral's personal log, stardate 62314.8. An old friend once said we do not feel the passage of time, but the presence of time within us. We grow from what we leave behind as we reach for what lies ahead. In the trials we've endured, I've tried to impart such wisdom on the young Starfleet hopefuls in my crew. But I've discovered, to my surprise, they've still much to teach me. Time's importance lies in what you do with it. From humble beginnings to unknown possibilities, they've shown you must always go boldly towards the future. You may not arrive at the coordinates you set, but you'll find where you belong. And sometimes the space between us isn't as far as we might think. There are always new chapters ahead, even when you think your story has finished. As for my next chapter, I've delivered my papers for an early retirement. Because don't we all deserve a new beginning every now and then? If not, how would any of us grow?
==Memorable quotes==
"You were right all along."
"About what?"
"Us, why we needed to be together, to get to this moment. This is the future you saw."
"Oh, Dal, I wasn't talking about now. The reason the universe needs you all together, that hasn't happened yet. Things yet to come, wonderous and terrible things. But you'll have to wait and see."
: -- Dal and Wesley Crusher
"It's time, isn't it?"
"Not yet."
"Not yet? When the kids find this ship, I can't have any memory of them, of the weapon onboard, of you."
"Doctor?"
"Yes, she just finished copying to our EMH backup module."
"You found a way to save my program."
"You gave me a second chance. Let me return the favor."
"You're sticking around this time."
"Well, then I suppose I'll see you on the other side. Computer, reset Janeway holoprogram."
: -- Hologram Janeway, Chakotay, The Doctor, and Dal
"Farewell, old friend."
"And thanks for the memories."
: -- Zero and Dal say goodbye to the Protostar
"All temporal incursions are gone."
"We did it. The time loop is closed."
"It appears we just saved history."
: -- Tysess, Wesley, and Janeway
