Shit, really? No wonder he'd said something about not being able to go home. Makes a hell of a lot of sense when home isn't there to go to. "Me too."

Spock said something about decorating to remind his buddy of home, and that's something Jake had empathize with. "Having new totems put up made a big difference in morale. We were able to salvage some bits and pieces from the wreck of the old Hometree. Memory cords, blankets, ceremonial stuff, that kinda thing. But a lot of it's new. Stuff that looks kinda like what we used to have, made from memory, or stuff that looks nothin' like the old stuff. Mo'at says it's like a tree growing back after it's cut. It might not look like it did before, but it's still growin'."
