The Fractured Void Quotes

“A completely unknown species built this thing, so long ago your ancestors weren’t even in jail yet,” Thales said. “Those creatures made this ship, they traveled in it, they abandoned it or wrecked it, and some wandering idiots found it millennia later and towed it back here because they thought it might be worth a credit or two. It all makes you feel insignificant, doesn’t it?”
“I guess we are pretty small, measured against the vastness of everything,” Felix agreed.
“What?” Thales said. “No. I mean, it must make you feel insignificant. Which you are. I’m not insignificant. I’m the man who invented wormhole technology. No one in the galaxy will ever forget my name, unlike the pathetic fools who built this thing. I was musing on my own immortal greatness, captain. Do try to keep up.”
