Look, betting my life savings on a game of Yesheedono is a chance I'm willing to take – except against Trance. However, accidentally setting off a nova bomb … isn't.

How do we get people to stop believing in a myth they've believed in for centuries?
By getting them to believe in that other myth.
What's that?
The one about the High Guard captain flying around the universe, making allies, restoring the Commonwealth.
Oh, I don't think they'll ever believe in that one.
Anyone can have their cake, and then eat it. The real trick is eating your cake, and still having it. It's a common mistake.
We did. You could even say we had our cake outside of the box and ate it too.
I have faith in nothing but this: when the Universe collapses and dies, there will be three survivors. Tyr Anasazi, the cockroaches, and Dylan Hunt - trying to save the cockroaches.
I once told Dylan that his mission to restore the Commonwealth is nothing more than an excuse to shape the Universe according to his will. It is. But, in the past two years, for reasons I cannot begin to understand, perhaps I have come to... prefer that shape?
We know – Your willingness to defy the universal odds is a disease that, apparently, we have all contracted.
Are we still outside the box?
Trance, we're so far outside the box, we can't even see the box.
The AIs are machines – they should do as they're told, or be discarded as defective.
They're not machines, Tyr, they're sentient beings, soldiers.
Then perhaps Milla has a point. Perhaps the Commonwealth did treat their AIs as slaves. But you would know better than I.
I can't take the risk that you'll fall apart under pressure.
That would be a mistake. This fellow has already taken it upon himself to perform a dangerous task – not because he was commanded, but because it needed to be done. And, in the end, that's the only test that matters – the test of will… You're a machine. I can't believe I just said that.
So, if the Genite attacks are fake, then Tyr is working with the Drago-Kazovs? Nah, I don't buy it.
But you buy the "warm and fuzzy" Tyr, concerned for his fellow Nietzscheans?
No, I didn't say that.
In a fair fight with them, we'd be fried.
Well, then, we'll have to make sure we don't fight fair.
There's only one way to fight a superior opponent.
ZZhukov
Well, that I wouldn't know – I've never fought a superior opponent.
Remember my admonition about becoming complacent? About forgetting what it means to test our will against the universe? Well, now we have to!
It's an invitation. Whatever it is it wants to play, to fight, or make love with us.
RSVP.
Nice move, boss, the old slingshot maneuver. Plus a little luck.
Well, sometimes I think luck is just another word for "fate."
Yeah, well, I'm feeling particularly fatalistic right now.
