Star Trek Quote
Spock : We must gather with the rest of Starfleet... to balance the terms of the next engagement!
James T. Kirk : There won't BE a next engagement! By the time we've gathered, it'll be too late! But you say he's from the future and knows what's gonna happen - then the logical thing is to be unpredictable!
Spock : You are assuming that Nero knows how events are predicted to unfold - the contrary. Nero's very presence has altered the flow of history, beginning with the attack on the USS Kelvin, culminating in the events of today, thereby creating an entire new chain of incidents that cannot be anticipated by either party.
Lt. Nyota Uhura : An alternate reality...
Spock : Precisely. Whatever our lives might have been if the time continuum was disrupted - our destinies have changed.
