[Nav 1]
<Marine LC> Keep those bugs out of our way, flyboys. We're headed for the rock.
<Marine LC> We've docked at Dula Seven, Alpha Wing. Cover our butts.
<Marine LC> Alpha Wing, this is Marine One. Entry to the reactor level is blocked. We cannot terminate the self destruct sequence.
<Marine LC> Alpha Wing, this is Marine One. We've scanned human life signs on the next level. We're going to check it out. Wish us luck!
<Marine LC> I don't have time for this! Alpha Wing, my boys've found somebody alive in here! We're bringing him out. Cover our retreat!
<Midway (Finley)> Make it snappy, Marine One. Dula Seven's Thermium reactor is ten points past critical. She's ready to blow.

Stiletto: Casey. Congratulations. The Captain has recommended you for the Silver Star.
Casey: To hell with that! What about the prisoner the Marines bought in?
Stiletto: It's Blair. But Casey, you should know...Scene - Ready Room
Casey: Commodore? Commodore, I'm sorry.
Blair: For what? You saved my ass.
Casey: Yeah, but if... You wouldn't of been captured if I didn't...
Blair: I don't want you blaming yourself for what happened to me. You did the right thing, you stayed with Dekker and the men. Excuse me. My new friends bounced me around a little bit.
Casey: Well, at least they didn't slice you and dice you.
Blair: No. But they cut into my mind, though. Deeply. They dredged up memories: Telamon, Admiral Tolwyn, the destruction of Kilrah, Angel. Everything I ever hoped to forget. And I relived every moment. And then they let you find me. Oh, they are fascinated by us, Casey. Our ability to kill without remorse, without pity. Our darker nature.
Casey: But, who are they?
Blair: Death.
