Opening narration

Shaw: You're born. You live, and you die. There are no do-overs. No second chances to make things right if you frak them up the first time. Not in this life anyway. ...
Like I said -- you make your choices and you live with them. And in the end, you are those choices. edit »
Gina: (speaking of Admiral Cain) She has needs, just like the rest of us. No one can survive entirely on their own. Trust me, lieutenant. In the end, we're all just human. edit »
Kara Thrace: Fear gets you killed. Anger keeps you alive. edit »
