Things weren't just going to bounce back to the way they were.
And maybe that was as it should be. If Emma was right, with Ghidorah gone, the global ecosystem would rebound; the ravaged places would become green; forest would cover where Boston had been. The dying ocean reefs would thrive as they hadn't in a hundred years.
He hadn't wanted it to happen this way. But the eggs were broken. They needed to decide what kind of omelet to make.
It was the dawn of a new world. Or the return of a very old one.

"As a galaxy, we can now live the lives we have wished for, taking our first steps into a new and wonderful future where organics and synthetics can coexist peacefully. With peace across the galaxy and with unlimited knowledge to recover the greatness that was lost and surpass it, we will reclaim our worlds and the stars. As the line between synthetic and organic disappears, we may transcend mortality itself to reach a level of existence I cannot even imagine."

Morning glow by your light
We can make the new day bright
And the phantoms of the night
Will fade into the past
Morning glow is here at last
We can make the new day bright
And the phantoms of the night
Will fade into the past
Morning glow is here at last

Lily: You've got to go? I envy you. The world you're going to.
Picard: I envy you. Taking these first steps into a new frontier. I shall miss you, Lily.
"You don't trust me, do you? I don't blame you. If there is to be a Brave New World, our generation is going to have the hardest time living in it."

''"As peaceful as it seems on the inside, the world outside is still the world outside. And the world that built this...Is gone. Question is, what comes next? For 15 years we've been living off the scraps of the old world. Now those scraps are almost gone. Playtime's over. Either we let the world keep falling apart, or we start building a new world out of the ashes of the old one. The shape that that world takes will be determined either by us in here, or by the monsters out there.
