Just before I woke up here I met your descendant. He was an Admiral on Tarazed. I was put in a position where I could take a giant step forward on restoring the Commonwealth, but to do it I'd have to destroy your descendant's life.

Save the universe by letting a good man be unjustly destroyed, or side with justice and take my chances.

I didn't do it. I didn't let him fall to ruin. [He closes his eyes for a moment.] But by god I was tempted. And I still don't entirely know if I did the right thing or not.
