   Technically, no. He was born in outer space but he's not from outer   
   space and he was raised on earth. You may say one human is an alien if   
   it's born and raised on another planet. I mean "Marcus Cole" is, to some   
   degree, an "alien". I used "Marcus Cole" - from B5 - 'cause I don't have   
   similar examples in the ST universe. I'm pretty sure there are though.

   - Yes, you do. You've just used a double negative!
