Ryan: "Hi! Welcome
to the Clarion's Call. Get it all here, sir. We've got games,
spa, flesh rooms, and don't forget our new Iolausian buffet!" |
|
Ryan: "I stayed there for a hundred years. Wandering. With only one thought--to round up a cavalry, go back, and rescue my friends. The friends I'd left behind". |
Dylan:
"He called you a traitor. I wanna know why".
Ryan: "Because I am". |
|
Ryan: "So, what is your plan?"
Dylan:
"I wanna link every ship's control system to the Maru's, and then we'll lead them to slipstream". |
Ryan: "All the ships report full readiness". |
|
Achilles:
"Ryan's freedom was paid for by the ships in this camp. The Niezchians destroyed two supply ships in retaliation for his escape . . . There has to be a sanction". |
Ryan: "Erasure. I know". |
|
Ryan: "Sir, we can't get the fleet in formation to depart in three hours".
Dylan:
"But we can set one hell of an ambush". |
Ryan: "You intend to fight".
Dylan: "I intend to win". |
|
Ryan: "Achilles! He's . . . "
Achilles: "Just an avatar, you know that. We can always build another". |
 |
|
Achilles:
"Thank you, Ryan. But I fear we may be too late" |
Ryan: "You'll send the Achilles into the sun, won't you?"
Dylan: "It's true, I will destroy the ship before I'll hand it to the Niezchians ". |
|
Mila: "Because of the traitor you brought with you, Achilles is going to die". |
Dylan: "Achilles, without you, I don't know if I can keep the fleet together".
Achilles:
"They'll do the right thing . . . Let them know that your new Commonwealth will be a place where they'll have choices, and you'll see their faith . . . Time to depart the field ". |
|
Dylan: "Ryan! Ryan, what the hell have you done?"
Ryan: "What you asked. I'm being the soldier you and Achilles expected me to be". |
Ryan: "They're talking about joining you, sir".
Dylan: "How many?"
Ryan: "All of them, sir". |
|
Ryan: "Sir, she's charging directly at the ships, drawing them off. Sir, she . . . "
Dylan: "I know, Ryan, I know". |
Ryan: "I am missing
one thing: A captain, sir".
Dylan: "Actually, I've got an ideal candidate in mind. I'm
looking at him".
Ryan: "Sir, I'm an AI. We were built to obey orders, not
to give them".
Dylan: "
. . . sooner or later, we all outgrow what we were built to do. Congratulations, captain". |
|
Ryan: "The Clarioin's
Call is just a beat-up old casino drift . . ."
Dylan: "The Wrath of Achilles?"
Ryan: "It's what it's always been--what I was meant to be--an
officer of the High Guard. And a soldier". |
