Summary
The Pilot was not a person.
This was a truism included in what it meant to be a Gorn. The Hive was a person. The Pilot was a cell. She was not the part that made the decisions, or the part that passed on genetic material, or the part whose life had individual value.
She repeated this to herself sometimes, as she sat with her leg throbbing with pain, growing increasingly infected, lest she fall prey to hope.
