Entr'i's happiness...Ford's happiness...All of that... was expendable. For this mission. Our own happiness...is not the goal of this station, save for that deal we brokered in our dreams.

Our happiness...our health...so long as it serves their needs...that is when it matters to them.
That is what I believe. Because I can...perceive no less.
[...]
Maybe that is...another Mu shortcoming. That I cannot find the strength to trust...that which I cannot perceive.
