Quotes 

• Captain Dylan Hunt : What happened?

  Beka Valentine : You missed Tyr's cavalry act.

  Tyr Anasazi : They were playing Wagner. It's the most fun I've had in about six months.

• Beka Valentine : Next time I tell you about a derelict High Guard ship... tell me to go away.

  Captain Dylan Hunt : You were just trying to help. And I guess I was just trying to recapture the past.

  Beka Valentine : Yeah, well, you had it good back then. Mission briefs highlighted in three colours, smiles and spit-shines, saluting. If I'd grown up with that, I'd probably want it back, too.

• [first lines] 

  Seamus Harper : [reading]  "I know I'm supposed to meet you at Yoso Drift..." Here it comes. She met a guy. "But that was before I found out the mandelbrots are spawning on Onithone."

  Beka Valentine : Ah, Trance and her pets.

  Seamus Harper : [reading]  "It only happens once a century, so I thought you might understand."

  Beka Valentine : Once a century? Wow, they get less action than you, Harper.
