      • Dylan: (attempting to find a way to survive when their escape pod has only minutes of air left) Finish your plan yet?
        Tyr: Yes, I have a plan. How are you doing, Dylan?
        Dylan: Finished. So, what's your plan?
        Tyr: In my plan, we would die.
        Dylan: Oh.
        Tyr: Yours?
        Dylan: Well, see, my plan is... uh... it involves a spacewalk. (Tyr looks incredulous) Well, we die. (Tyr throws up his hands in disgust) We need a better plan.

      • Errin: Beka Valentine, you're an excellent pilot. If I didn't know better, I'd mistake you for a Nietzschean.
        Beka: Thanks, I think?!

      • Dylan: What's up?
        Beka: I've got bad news, and then I've got some bad news.
        Dylan: Phew! For a moment there, I thought something good was going to happen today.

      • Beka: (holding gun to Errin) You can die, get out of the way, or help. What's it gonna be?

      • (Dylan stares at Errin Shohashi, apparently mesmerized. Tyr gets up in Dylan's face.)
        Tyr: (repeating what Beka just said) She's Nietzschean.
        Dylan: (still staring) She can be anything she wants to be.

      • Tyr: (about the senator) Even the Grim Reaper didn't want her.

      • The universe is bound in equal parts By arrogance and altruism. Any attempt to alter this Would be suicide. Dr. Walter Giles, "The Value of Value," CY 11543.

    • ALLUSIONS (3)

      ADD ALLUSIONS

      • Titanic: The ship's destruction by a comet (essentially ice and similar substances) as well as the flaws in the escape pods are likely an allusion to the Titanic, a similarly praised ship which was destroyed by a collision with an iceberg and had an insufficient number of lifeboats.

      • Shohashi:

        This is a possible reference to Sho Hashi, the first king of the Kingdom of Ryukyu (today Okinawa Prefecture), having united the islands' three kingdoms of Chuzan, Hokuzan, and Nanzan by conquest.

      • Genghis: This is a reference to the Mongolian Emperor Genghis Khan.
