== Noteworthy Dialogue == | |||
* ''[[Stadra Ah Mun]] demands {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} remove his {{alt|Centurion|TOS-DE}} armor:'' '''Stadra Ah Mun:''' ''Fool—you can't use the Cylon husks as armor—!'' There are tracking systems imbedded throughout. '''Starbuck:''' Heh''—''well, of course there are. I was actually ''trying'' to be found so... so I could use them to... find a... '''Ah Mun:''' Just take it off. '''Starbuck:''' Usually, I like to wait till the second date for the rough stuff... but I can see this isn't going to be a ''traditional'' courtship. | |||
* ''{{alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}} and {{alt|Serina|TOS-DE}} discuss the need for mourning:'' '''Apollo:''' We promised that if we were going to become warriors we would never mourn each other if the worst happened. He wanted to make sure that if either of us died the other would stay strong in the knowledge that we fought for the good of humanity. '''Serina:''' You've kept the promise long enough, Apollo. I think you need to let some of it out. You've lost your friend, and deal or no, you need to mourn his passing. '''Apollo:''' No, I'll keep my promise. If I begin to mourn everyone I've lost... I'm afraid I'll never recover. | |||
* ''Stadra Ah Mun gives an impassioned and rousing speech to her fellow [[Maytoria]]<nowiki/>ns:'' Why were we, a ''small satellite colony'', hit so hard?!? I will tell you''—''it is because we are a ''fierce and strong race'' and the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylons]] needed to ensure that ''no [[Sagittarian (TOS-DE alternate)|Sagittarians]]'' survived to take revenge! Our mission is to find our way to ''[[Galactica (TOS-DE alternate)|Galactica]]'', not for simple self-preservation, but so that we might rejoin the fray and show these souless monsters that ''they were right to fear us!'' | |||
