edit / "When they said that Natchok would get a fair trial even though I was deliberately trying not to scan them telepathically I could sense they were lying, but I didn't go deeper. I just assumed that it meant that he would get a mock trial. I didn't even suspect the truth until... I saw Natchok. He knew. He knew. By dying he saved a part of his world. And maybe even a part of Earth. If I would've said anything, I would've guaranteed that his dreams died with him, so I did nothing, as he would've wanted. Nothing. To save the souls of billions. I choose to believe I withheld that information from my captain for lofty reasons, and not because I was afraid that by revealing what I knew, I was violating the new rules for telepaths. Because it was right! Not because I was protecting my own ass. But I guess I'll never know. How odd to know everyone's heart, but my own." - Lt. Mattheson; The Needs of Earth
