Sinofar : Our powers grew out of a thousand years of war, out of hate, and fear, and the will to survive.
Giroc : [on Liberator's screen] We built destruction, weapons that your peoples have not yet dreamed of. Every passing year brought new ways to kill, and throughout the centuries the war raged across our planet.
Sinofar : [on planet] With each generation there were fewer of us. The dead vastly outnumbered the living. There was not victory for either side.
Roj Blake : How did it end?
Giroc : How? Another development of another weapon. We demanded their surrender, they refused. The weapon was used. Those that we call our enemy were annihilated.
Space Commander Travis : You won. That's all that matters.
Sinofar : It wasn't a victory, only the end of the war! We were left with a planet made barren by radiation. Our children were monsters, or died, or were never born. This, we won.
Roj Blake : How many of you are there now?
Giroc : None. We are a dead race.

Roj Blake : True.

Avon : If any of our control systems are damaged by the impact, we will be helpless.
Roj Blake : We're not exactly in a commanding position now.
Jenna Stannis : Activating!
Roj Blake : Have you got any better ideas?
[violent impact. As Blake and Avon reel back, Avon clutches Blake protectively]
Avon : As a matter of fact, no I haven't.
Roj Blake : Does that mean you agree?
Avon : Do I have a choice?
Roj Blake : Yes.
Avon : Then I agree.
[lets go of Blake]

Space Commander Travis : You do realize that any hostile act against me will be regarded as a hostile act against the Federation.
[Giroc laughs]
Space Commander Travis : Have you any idea of the risk you're running?
[Giroc laughs harder]
Roj Blake : They don't seem very impressed, Travis.
[laughs]
Roj Blake : Why don't you try stamping your foot?
