Cleveland Booker: You believe in ghosts.
Michael Burnham: What does that mean?
Cleveland Booker: That badge on your shirt. Sometimes you see a guy with one of those badges getting himself all worked up about the Federation. The old days. True believers. Can't handle that it's gone.

Aditya Sahil: Commander Burnham, now I'll tell you a secret. I'm not a commissioned officer. You see, my father was, his father before him. But, unlike them, I was never officially sworn in. There has been no one to do it. Yet, I watched this office every day, as I have for 40 years, believing one day, others like me would walk through that door; that my hope was not in vain. Today is that day. And that hope is you, Commander Burnham.
Michael Burnham: [to Booker, smiling] True believers.
