Krall / Balthazar M. Edison
The Federation has pushed the frontier for centuries. But no longer. This is where it begins, Lieutenant. This is where the frontier pushes back.
A line from Krall / Balthazar M. Edison
Captain's Log... I don't remember the stardate. All distress calls unanswered. Of the crew, only three remain. I WON'T ALLOW IT! The indigenous race abandoned this planet long ago. They left behind sophisticated mining equipment and a drone workforce. They have some sort of technology that prolongs life. I will do whatever it takes for me and my crew. The Federation do not care about us. You'll probably never see me again. But if you do... be ready.

You think you know what sacrifice really means? Federation has taught you that conflict should not exist. Ha. But without struggle, you would never know who you truly are.

What is your name?
Uhura
How do you know our language?
Krall
I know your kind.
Uhura
I am Lieutenant Nyota Uhura of the USS Enterprise. And you have committed an act of war against the Federation.
Krall
Federation? Federation is an act of war!
Uhura
You attacked us.
Krall
Your captain... why did you sacrifice yourself for him?
Uhura
He would have done the same. And if he made it off that ship, he will come for us.
Krall
I am counting on it, Lieutenant Uhura.
Kirk
What happened to you out there, Edison?
Edison
“Edison...” I have to say, Kirk... I’ve missed being me. We lost ourselves, but gained a purpose! A means to bring the galaxy back to the struggle that made humanity strong.
Kirk
I think you underestimate humanity.
Edison
I FOUGHT FOR HUMANITY! Lost millions to the Xindi and Romulan wars! And for what?! For the Federation to sit me in a captain's chair and break bread... with the enemy!
Kirk
We change. We have to. Or we spend the rest of our lives fighting the same battles.
Kirk
You lost! There's no way you can make it back there! Give up!
Edison
What, like you did?! I read your ship's log, Captain James T. Kirk! AT LEAST I KNOW WHAT I AM!!! I am a soldier!
Kirk
You won the war, Edison! You gave us peace!
Edison
Peace... is not what I was born into!
