O Captain! My Captain!

… a rag-tag fugitive fleet … on a lonely quest … to a shining planet known as Earth … Those words were a siren song to me. How many nights had I gazed up at the moon … getting lost in the stars … wishing even then that I could leave this planet and explore the galaxy, in a ship of my own, dreaming of finding a new home; a home where I might fit in.
