Not wanting something like this, but doing it to save someone you loved...he gets that, too, and his heart goes out to the guy--planet elemental.

"I've seen destiny thwarted before, and I've seen prophecies come to pass in front of my eyes. I've been part of it. Sometimes it don't sit right--fate, destiny, what have you. I mean, if you want a way out, there could be a way out. Look where we are. This place is incredible, there's gotta be some world out there, or someone with the knowledge that can help you. Hell, even my world might."
