"I've taken the opportunity provided by my incarceration to meditate,
 to think. Sometimes, I even sing."
"I know, we got a petition."
"For or against ?"
"Based on the sound, they think we are torturing you in here."

"In here, Mr Garibaldi, you can not hide from yourself. Everything out there
 has only one purpose. To distract us from ourselves, what is truly important.
 There are no distractions in here. We can learn much from silence."

"Seven years ago I was stationed on Mars. We were always getting false leads
 on artifacts supposedly buried beneath the Martian soil for thousands of
 years. Nothing ever came of it. And then one day our sonic probes picked up
 something three hundred feet below the surface of Syria Planum. We didn't
 know what it was. Except that it wasn't a natural formation. And given it's
 depth, it had been there at least a thousand years. It was in the middle of
 Martian winter, so it took weeks to dig half of it from the ground. But that
 much was enough to give me nightmares for the rest of my life. It's the same
 ship we have seen on the news lately.  That one looks like it came straight
 from hell."

"But back home they are saying they have never seen ships like this before."
"They are lying. I was there."

"How can you sleep in these things ?"
"It's quite simple with proper meditation. Because we consider sleeping
 in horizontal to be tempting death."
"Yeah, if I'm sleeping in this, I'm tempting fate .. all night."

"And according to one of our units on the border of Centauri space, they've
 continued massing their fleet. We don't know why. Maybe they expect a counter
 attack, it's hard to say. And they have much to be concerned about. There's
 always the threat of an attack by say, a giant space dragon, the kind that
 leaves the sun every thirty days. It's a nuisance, but what would you expect
 from reptiles. Did I mention that my nose was on fire ? That I have fifteen
 wild badgers living in my trousers ? I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets ?"

"The shadow vessels use living creatures as their central core. Whoever
 steps inside merges with it, becomes one with the ship. After that it's
 fully functional. They must be sending one in right now."

"In Valen's name. It's awake."
