Goof: Rommie says the mythological Andromeda was a Phoenician princess; she was actually Ethiopian.
Dylan: If someone says they want to initiate peaceful contact, we have to at least give them a chance.
Tyr: Captain Hunt...!
Beka: Save your breath, he's got that look again.
HG: This is where the parts come together? With your hands?
Harper: Exactly. My hands.
HG: You are like a slow Directing Intelligence Unit.
Harper: OK... I'll take that as a compliment.
Harper: Introducing Harper nano-bot 107. I like to call this model the 'Ms Pac-Man Waoh Waoh Waoh Waoh'. It's an obscure reference to an ancient video game.
Tyr: This feels like a trap. That thing down there was obviously programmed to make us trust it. The child-like face, the innocent persona...even the smell. Beka: Protective camouflage? Tyr: In my experience, devils very rarely wear horns and carry pitchforks.
Rommie: I didn't design my appearance. I extrapolated it. In myth, Andromeda was a Phoenician princess. Now, since no one knows what Phoenicians looked like, I blended a multitude of human physiognomies to create this plausible simulation.
Beka: So, what you're saying is that you randomly chose a bunch of, uh, human female features. You mixed them all up and, uh, THIS was the first face that you came up with?
Rommie: I MAY have experimented with a few options.
Beka: Define 'a few'.
Rommie: One hundred and seventy thousand, eight hundred and ninety four.
Beka: I KNEW it!
Beka: Huh, weirdness alert.
