Thank you, Lucy, but you hold me in very high esteem. I wouldn't have been strong enough to realign the warp core, or good enough at fighting to do anything else he has done. [This sounds self-pitying, even to him. Even if he isn't exactly hero material in his world, he doesn't need to whine about it to Lucy.] But I am good at keeping us from flying into stars and preventing the captain from falling to his death, so that is something.
