• Admiral Valdore : You know I was once a Senator?

  Nijil : No.

  Admiral Valdore : Many years ago. Vrax and I were colleagues. I even considered him a friend.

  Nijil : What happened?

  Admiral Valdore : I made the mistake of challenging the precept of unlimited expansion. I asked the question: "Is conquest truly the best course for our people?" And I was expelled.

  Nijil : I'm sorry.

  Admiral Valdore : I'm not trying to evoke your pity! I want you to learn from my experience. When I was led away from the Senate chamber, I vowed never to repeat my error, and never to forget my purpose!

• Nijil : We'll be ready to launch in twelve hours.

  Admiral Valdore : And the pilot?

  Nijil : He's resting.

  Admiral Valdore : Will he be ready?

  Nijil : I'll make sure that he is.

  Admiral Valdore : Spoken like a soldier.

  Nijil : I'm a scientist.

  Admiral Valdore : We're all soldiers, Nijil - from the moment we're born. When we forget that, we invite disaster.
