- Atria Nine: Do you have a date yet?
- Ralen: I do not.
- Atria Nine: No one has asked me yet.
- Ralen: That is unfortunate.
- Delaney Pilar: The way I see it, you have two options: Ralen or Xander.
- Jacqueline 'Jax' Zhou: Ralen's married, Pilar.
- Delaney Pilar: Great. Xander it is.
- Xander Duvall: What do you want, Ralen?
- Ralen: I've come to express my gratitude.
- Xander Duvall: For what?
- Ralen: I heard what you did for me on Io.
- Xander Duvall: Okay, um, I didn't do it for you.
- Ralen: Nonetheless, you saved my life.
- Tierney: You know, Thomas, being a hot-shot pilot in EarthCom isn't your only option in life.
- Thomas James Ross: Trust me, you're not the first person to tell me that.
- Tierney: You'll find working for me to be very rewarding, both financially and otherwise. Just as your father has.
- Jacqueline 'Jax' Zhou: Ralen, we're friends. I care about you, and you know that. But that is all that we'll ever be. I hope you can accept that.
- Ralen: I do not wish to accept that.
- Jacqueline 'Jax' Zhou: Well, you need to, because that's the only answer I'll ever give you.
- Atria Nine: I'm going back to Adar to run for Seeker.
- Delaney Pilar: You can't do that, Atria. That's suicide. You do that, and the Seeker will kill you.
- Donovan Osborn: Enjoying yourself?
- Xander Duvall: I'm not sure that's any of your concern anymore, professor.
- Donovan Osborn: It was an innocent question.
- Xander Duvall: Well, I've learned, with you, there are no innocent questions.
