Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Well?

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: We've pulled back from the edge of this 'jamming' black hole, sir, but I'd have to say we're still only partially sighted.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Well, then we got no choice: we go out on a search-and-destroy.

MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Hey, that's suicide. There could be a whole fleet waiting out there for us -- we wouldn't know it.

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: No radar, no shields!

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: Without any guidance systems, the dumb-fires are going to be the only firecrackers worth taking.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Okay! Something's thrown a blanket on this system... Let's go out, find it and put it out of business. Move!
