Sometimes our mistakes have consequences that we can't recover from. It's not his fault, Gwen it's - just his circumstances. [ No, it's not fair. Spock Prime's mistake cost Jim's entire timeline so much but - there was nothing anybody could do about it. ] And ours. Yours. You wouldn't be you without him, too.

Oh, like the computer? [ Yeah, he's got no concept of Siri or Alexa. Antiquated to the point of a head tilt and quizzical gaze. Which is evident by his next question: ] Or are they androids?

[ Yeah, they've got androids. But the computer is what controls the ship's climate controls and things of that nature. ] We have that. Aboard ship, everything is run by the computer. Androids have a more advanced intelligence.

It's a dematerialization system. We use it to transport matter - people, cargo - from one point to another by converting them into an energy pattern and reassembling them.
