- I felt the transits through the Jump Holes. One from Zeta, obviously -- into Delta no doubt. Then another, and the shudder of mooring clamps. A hidden outpost? Two more jumps, then combat. Damage. Felt serious, like the engines were hit. Must have been Kappa -- striking Gammu? If you take a hit like that again, you're dead, aren't you? Is that why you kept me? Bargaining chip for when The Core ferret out your hiding place? That'll do you no good, I assure you.
- What do you abominations want with me? You murdered the rest of the crew -- just finish the job. How does it profit you to trap me in this room? Just end this misery and send me to the airlock. I know this ship far better than you ever will. I will find a way to destroy you from the inside out if you keep me here.
