12	->"This is a video recording taken from the Observation decks". The screen changed. Now they were looking at what the Wanderer crew had seen in their last days. No one, not even Spock, could handle more than a quick glimpse of that view (Kirk had, after a couple of minutes spent staring at the recording back on the Wanderer, spent the next few minutes being violently sick ) -- a swirling, multicolored mist was how Uhura would later explain it to Christine Chapel, but it was more than that, something for which even she couldn't find the right words.

99	->''"The warp is a vital tool to us, a means of communication and transport. Without it, there would be no [[TheEmpire Imperium of Man]], for there would be no quick bridges between the stars. We use it, and we harness it, but we have no absolute control over it. It is [[SentientCosmicForce a wild thing that tolerates our presence, but brooks no mastery]].

Pray to the Holy Throne the Astropath doesn’t accidentally get you lost, [[DemonicPossession become possessed by a Daemon]] or just explode like a mushy human pinata from the mental stress of being around so much pure [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow CANNOT BE]]. If the void shields even flicker on the 8000 years old vessel ([[LostTechnology which no one actually understands completely how to work]]) Daemons [[MadeOfEvil made of RAPE and LEMON JUICE]] will crawl into our reality and do things you literally cannot imagine to every soul aboard.
