Andromeda: Double Helix

"Okay, Rommie, you're taking this all wrong. I mean, for you... uhh... because I wanted you to feel the full advantages of being a human woman. You deserve it. And, for me... in the capacity of an engineer who prides himself on perfectionism, I just wanted everything to be just right."

- Seamus Harper
