Transcript

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: I wish I could light a candle for everyone on that planet.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: It'd fill up a space a lot bigger than this, that's for sure.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: It'd fill up a whole planet. You know, in all the years of the Kilrathi War, I don't think I ever heard of anything so hideous. Pinpoint killing of the innocent; the wrong DNA strand becomes a death sentence.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: It's evil. There's no other word for it.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: If I'd gone down to that planet with you, would I be dead too? Would anybody be lighting a candle for me?
