I can't imagine how I'd deal with waking up and finding that I am becoming part of a

It looks like Marion is in trouble, and I'm sorry for that.
There's so much strife inside this federation. Damned politicians again with all their
distractions and personal agendas messing things up, and we haven't even confronted
the aliens yet...
Again you leave us with tension, suspense, and anticipation.
