- Lipp-Sett: Ah, the uninvited co-conspirator. Tell me about this
(Plays a clip of Harper from Rommie's files)
Lipp-Sett: Care to elaborate? The weapon is hidden on your ship is it not?
Harper: Well, see, on Earth, the only planets visible in the night sky to the un-enhanced naked eye are Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Mercury and Venus, which is the gold one.
Lipp-Sett: You continue this, Mr Harper, you bury your Captain... you stand there defiant?
Harper: Hey, I'm sweating here! Like a glazed ham, which I could really go for right now and a nice cold bottle of...
Lipp-Sett: What role did you play in Captain Hunt's traitorous actions?
(Pause. Harper says nothing)
Lipp-Sett: Speak! the court awaits.
Harper: Alright, the Andromeda, like any other ship, runs on hydrogen and anti-protons, or AP. The hydrogen combines with the AP, in controlled reactors, to create anti-matter/matter reactions or matter/anti-matter reactions, either way it makes no matter, but what it does make is power, for the ship; a few hundred megawatts. Most of the power is used to power the GMG which reduces the effective mass to just under a kilogram-
Lipp-Sett: Stop!
Harper: A smaller chunk of the power is used to accelerate more hydrogen in a dozen magneto-plasma dynamic drives which creates the thrust - a thrust of of half a million Newtons or so. SO! when your pushing a kilogram with half a million Newtons of thrust, it's a good idea to keep one hand on your valuables 'cos you never know when you just might run straight into some two-faced lying jerk!
Lipp-Sett: (To guards) Take him away!
Harper: (As he is dragged away) Boys! I'm not coming in with ya no matter what you say or do! I ride with Dylan to the end...! edit » - All military, rank and file, are subject to the word and intent of the Commonwealth Triumvirs.
There is no exception.
There is punishment accordingly.

- Star Trek:
Dylan's trial is similar to the trial of Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. In the film, Kirk's personal logs are used against him in much the same way Rommie's files are used against Dylan. edit »
