- Captain Jonathan Power: [voice over] Database journal 47-7 mark 12, captain reporting. Scout has detected an unusual amount of Dread activity in Sector 9 on coded broadcasts on both military frequencies. Stranger yet, in the last 48 hours we have encountered three settlements barren of life. How could hundreds of people just disappear? Or surrender without a fight. How?
- Lord Dread: The armor fits you well. If I did not know better I would say that you were Power.
- Jason: Have you met him before?
- Lord Dread: Yes, I knew his father. Our ways parted when I merged my mind with the Overmind. It was then that I saw that only by elevating man to the machine could our goal be reached.
- Captain Jonathan Power: [chained to a wall] Hate to intrude, but you think any of you guys could tell me what's going on?
- Zig: What's going on, is dying time, cap'n!
- [slaps him across the face]
- Zig: But my folks are law believers, taught me right. We're gonna give you a... trial, that's the word. And then we're gonna kill you.
- Captain Jonathan Power: Hm. Not much of a trial.
- Jason: People, why are you hiding from me? Come on... Captain Power's here!
- Captain Jonathan Power: You got that right.
- Captain Jonathan Power: I made promise to my father. That I would never take a human life. That I would protect and preserve all people. You almost made me forget that promise. Almost.
- Captain Jonathan Power: [shouting after Soaron] Tell your master no more imposters! Not one! Or I'll shove that mountain of his right down his throat. You tell him!
