Nations rise and fall. Planets live and die. But corporations go on, through good times and bad, because it's all about profit.

Racing the Night
Never contradict a Technomage when he's saving your life. Again.
Gideon (to Matheson): Don't think.
Yes, quite right. If you wanted to think, you should never have joined the military in the first place.
I was just thinking on whether or not a comment would be 'most wanted or least needed'.
I thought you said you don't hold a grudge?
I don't. I have no surviving enemies. At all.
[Eilerson and Matheson are discussing going back to the planet.]
I say we find out what the problem is, take care of it. I believe blowing it up is the usual solution to these things. And then we go back for the rest, and avenge the untimely death of Crewman...
Varelli.
Varelli. [pauses] Vivisected. Terrible way to die. We have to have our priorities, after all.
Did you say... vivisected?
CChambers
Yes, nearly all his internal organs were missing.
...now that is interesting...
When you have reached the end of the road, then you can decide whether to go to the left or to the right, to fire or to water. If you make those decisions before you have even set foot upon the road, it will take you nowhere. [pauses] Except to a bad end.
HGHolographic Galen
Oh, my. Whatever shall I do? They've all left without me. I knew I'd forget where we parked that shuttle. I hope something dreadful doesn't happen to me.
[He looks up to see a ship overhead.]
HGHolographic Galen
Oh, look. Something dreadful.
They don't want us leaving with what we know. Too bad we don't know anything.
If I'm going to die, I'd rather do so in a room with a view.
Galen (ref:to Gideon): Ten years ago, I rescued a stray cat. That brings with it a degree of obligation. I can't exactly go wandering off every time he gets stuck up a tree, now can I?
In the end, it's all the story of Job, isn't it?
Some days, it feels like our faith is being tested, same as his.
Where do you put your faith, Matthew? In science? Your luck? This ship?
I haven't decided.
Well, then, if this is the story of Job, a great deal of people are being inconvenienced for your benefit. Hope you appreciate it.
[Dureena attempts to get Galen to teach her everything he knows about technomancy.]
The answer is still no. For now.
Then there's hope?
There is always hope, only because that is the one thing no one has figured out how to kill. Yet.
The Needs of Earth
Chambers (on the porn that came from Eilerson's data crystal): There's something you don't see every day.
...
CChambers
As a Doctor, I have to say that's totally unrealistic. An alien life form like the Pak'Ma'Ra is not biologically equipped to interface with humans in that kind of...
It's an amazing thing, technology.
I may have an idea.
I don't think you've recovered from your last good idea.
That would explain it.
How odd. To know everyone's heart but my own.
