- Russell 'Ace' Antonov: No.
- Ricardo 'Sharkey' Alvarez: Why would it be on after all this time?
- Noriko 'Max' Matsuda: Why wouldn't it?
- Ricardo 'Sharkey' Alvarez: And, and the air. Why bother with oxygen regeneration if there's nobody here?
- Russell 'Ace' Antonov: Res off, Sharkey. Don't you ever do anything but worry?
- Ricardo 'Sharkey' Alvarez: I'll stop worrying when life stops giving me things to worry about.
- Kulai: Your captain does seem rather impulsive.
- Ricardo 'Sharkey' Alvarez: Captain? Ace? Oh. You must mean that stupid speech he gave when we were facing Paiyin. That was just hot air.
- Noriko 'Max' Matsuda: He's a cadet. Like us.
- Kulai: According to my understanding of your language, that means a student, a young person. Horten, what is the estimated age of these two compared to the life expectancy of their species?
- Horten: 15 to 17 against an average life span of 90 to 120 years.
- Kulai: You are children? I let a child go against the Triad?
