Episode Quotes
 
(turning to a captive woman)
Advocate #3: And how do you explain the presence of this rancid creature?
Commander: A small reward for our scientists. For months, they've been requesting a live human specimen for dissection. I think this one will do nicely.
 
Marcus Madison Mason: I have decided that this grain will be available to any country, to any person who needs it, and at no cost. For me to do otherwise would be inhuman.
 
Teri: You can't let this ship leave. There's something wrong with the grain, something our people missed. It's got some kind of a parasite or something. Anyone who eats it will die.
Marcus Madison Mason: Teri, we all have to die... sometime.
