| - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. was one of Earth's 20th century American authors. His works blended satire, black comedy and science fiction. Cantabrian counselor Daniel Radke was reading Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five before his Special Operations mission. This is from a scene cut from "Catalyst, Part One" which the author still considers canon. He also recommended Slaughterhouse Five to Noah Wrightson to read. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Isolation")
- Kurt Vonnegut is a badass author of one of the greatest anti-war/sci-fi novels of all time Slaughterhouse 5. Contrary to which the gory title sounds, it is actually referencing a slaughterhouse that soldiers use as a base during the under-popularized bombings of Dresden, Germany during WWII in which more People actually died than during the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Vonnegut's use of humor, science fiction, and unreality weaves some of the most fascinating tales in modern culture. Also made a cameo in Rodney Dangerfield's movie Back to School.

- When I was a young man, Kurt Vonnegut taught me to love life. The way he taught me to love life was to be impolite about everyone and everything. Now I am an old fart and I am paid to be impolite, but my impoliteness never seems as profound, never seems as graceful as the impoliteness of Kurt Vonnegut. I still remember the lessons Kurt taught me. He taught me that humanity was in great danger and we were all hurtling out of control on a fractured planet that was dying fast. The only way we could correct the venality and stupidity and vindictiveness and barbarity of our fellow man was by exposing it to the light of day. I sure miss Kurt Vonnegut.
