Hobson: I'd like to request a transfer […] I don't think I'd be a good first officer for you.
Data: Why?
Hobson: Frankly, sir, I don't believe in your ability to command this ship. You're a fellow officer and I respect that but no one would suggest that a Klingon would be a good ship's counselor or that a Berellian could be an engineer. They're just not suited for those positions. By the same token, I don't think an android is a good choice to be captain.
Data: I understand your concerns. Request denied.

Elisabeth le Fanu: I summoned a Sinless Soul to use as a servant. The Church would punish me if they found out I invoked anything evil, even if only to use it as a maid, you see. You fit the criteria, as your death was far crueler than your sins in life would warrant, but? Heh, there was some odd resistance during the summoning, but to think that you would hail from another world? I wonder whether pulling you in from a parallel dimension is the height of fortune or misfortune? Ah, I suppose it matters little who you once were. From here on, you need only serve me with wholehearted devotion.
