 "In my career, I've worked closely with and allied myself in war with
 humans and other races in the Federation, of course.  But I've also
 worked closely with and allied myself in war with Camelynians,
 Klingons, and Romulans.

 "In my experience, the only real difference between the races within
 the Federation and these three races outside of it is the enthusiasm
 they bring to their work.  For some reason, you hardly ever see that
 level of enthusiasm in Starfleet.

 "I've never in my career met a Camelynian, Klingon, or Romulan who
 wasn't completely devoted to the moment and what was happening in the
 moment... one who wasn't willing to throw themselves fully and
 completely into the task at hand.  It's ironic that these three races
 so often find themselves enemies.

 "I've allied myself with all three of these races... but I've also met
 all three of these races in war.  I've also met Jem'Hadar,
 Cardassians, Pfhor, and a dozen other races in war.  But if there's
 enjoyment to be found in battle, it's more often found against
 Camelynian, Klingon, or Romulan.  It's hard to dislike your enemy when
 he or she is so enthusiastic about their business.

 "I can only hope these Jart provide the same level of enthusiasm and
 challenge, or eternity is swiftly going to become quite boring."
