You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...
Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...

You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

You're not helping! Why is that, Leon?

6. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments...
will be lost in time...
like tears...
in rain...
