Terry: One problem the snare is war with the UGC and the CIS and then the Elibisi on the other and the plague.
Taking the palace will come but Joral is a bit more ready then you might expect he is right now getting ready.
If you want that survival and future work with me. We are working on that cure Joral comes next.
Vornak: How will you get off the planet? How will you contact your people?
Captain, every day Joral's war claims more lives and weakens us. If you're right, then the Eblisi will come soon. We can't enter the Palace peacefully, but I'm not suggesting a takeover. We need to convince Joral of the threat. He is a patriot. He will stop the wars immediately if he believes the Eblisi are coming.

Hanshan: Good prep the the Thalaron weapons and unleash the Obliterator's I want nothing left of them. Nothing for them to rebuild. If we take prisoners kill them, we are not in that business.
My orders are those in line with the Emperor. Kill them all. No survivors.
But first Jam their communications.

Sub-Commander: Weapons at the ready sir fully charged...
Hanshan: Fire then. Let loose the dogs of war.
*The ships open fire on the unsuspecting ships killing the people on the vessels... Messy explosions and Obliterators strike their targets.. none remain the worlds in the region are now vulnerable...*

One side ugly squid machines trying to destroy all advanced life and the other the Romulans. Not exactly a choice that really matters. Either way we die just the same.
Besides Betelgeuse has fallen and it leaves these worlds open now, the Elibisi have not moved from Bastion and I suspect they are waiting for the right time to move. Don't ask me how they do it but from what I have seen I wouldn't be surprised.

I've been looking all over for you.
Luke: It's quiet here. I like quiet.
*Tara listens to the hum of the power conduits, the nearby warp engine and feels the warmth of the plasma conduit behind her.*
Tara: It isn't that quiet, Luke.
Luke: No? Think about it. People are noisy, inconsistent, dishonest...
*Tara looks at him, apologetically.*
But machines are constant, logical, truthful. I can feel every change in plasma pressure... hear every change in the power grid... I know exactly where the ship stands. Machines are like that. I guess that's why I like them so much. They can't lie to me.
Tara: But they can't love you, either.
Luke: I know. But they can't pretend to either.
Tara: You mean like your parents?
*Luke snaps to look at her, before nodding solemnly.*
Luke: Yeah.

How did you find us?
Gyunei: It was not difficult as the Director already had found your hideout here along with others in the city. Not to mention the Emperor has given permission to root them out now. I do agree that you are a valuable bargaining chip.
Terry: Look at you Gyunei. An example of how distorted the galaxy is in trying to transcend nature. You truthfully are a blue rose now.
Gyunei: Conflict is all I have now. Preston knew what I was and found me very effective at what I do. Look at yourself ever changing and how distant are you from your humanity now?
