False Colors, page 255:
“The thing is,” Bondarevsky went on, “a lot of us don't like to be forced to admit to something like this. I've got a machine doing the work of a limb, and I'm damned glad to have it, but I'd far rather have the original. And the last thing I want is to lose my humanity more than I already have by plugging myself into my cockpit like one more onboard system. I learned to fly by my gut, and I'd rather keep on doing it that way even if I have to work a little bit harder at it. Do you understand?”
“I believe I do, Captain,” Jorkad said slowly. “Your sentiments are reminiscent of some of the passages in the Seventh Codex. You've given me much to think about.”
