Many years ago our ancestors came to Tethys as convict labor. In exchange for their work, they were promised freedom and help in building new lives. Many did not survive to see the end of their sentences. Then the Neosapiens were created. The rich mines of Mars were opened. And the mines, and miners, of Tethys were abandoned. From the struggle to survive, the Pirate Clans were formed. Metals were dug, ships were built. Whatever else the clans needed they took from the Homeworlders who had lied to them for decades.
S2 E2The Embassy
[the Able Squad is being overwhelmed by Neosapiens in a space battle]
BBridge Officer
They are cut off, Admiral! They can't get through!
Not if I can help it... Attention all E-frames! Standby for the activation of the GRAF Shield!
BBridge Officer
But, Sir! The GRAF Shield is not operational.
The Neos are monitoring this channel, trooper... On my mark: five, four, three, [the Neosapien forces retreat rapidly] two, one... mark!
Hey, they are running! Remind me never to play poker with the Admiral...
S2 E3Pirate's Ransom
[Jubail decided to assault the Neosapien fleet that captured Jonas Simbacca]
BBarca
Wait, Jubail! Attacking the Neosapiens will cost many lives, all for the sake of one. Leave Simbacca to his fate, and you could be the new leader of the Pirate Clans.
JJubail
Only a coward would let someone else remove the obstacle in his path. We attack!
This fight will make you a legend in the Clans, Marsh. They'll tell the story of our deaths for a thousand years.
I'd rather be alive than a legend.
Think we can get out of here with no more surprises?
If you don't like surprises you're in the wrong line of work.
S2 E4Ultimate Weapon
[after a disastrous training session with perspective Pirate E-frame pilots, DeLeon informs Marsh of a spy onboard]
J.T., I think we have a problem.
Only one? I've got six of them in there.
S2 E5Expendable
Sean Napier [during the Exofleet-Pirate negotiations]: The Pirates can share Mars with the Neosapiens. After the war there'll be plenty of room for both of you. I've fought the Neos face-to-face, whatever else you may think of them they've got guts. Besides, there won't be many of them left.
Man, it's just another day at the office. Savin' everyone's butt.
Punch your time card, Bronsky.
You are a brave man, Admiral, to sacrifice yourself for our escape. But it will not be necessary.
[a large Pirate fleet decloaks and decimates the Neosapiens pursuing the Exofleet]
You are a devious man, Simbacca. I like that.
S2 E6Mindset
One thing you can say for Phaeton, he makes the magnotrains run on time.
[Amanda Connor, who was collaborating with Neosapien propaganda machine, has been coerced to participate in the extraction of former Homeworlds Congressmen]
I hope you've learned something tonight, Amanda.
ACAmanda Connor
Look, maybe the Neosapiens did try to make this camp look like a resort instead of a prison. Sure they were using it for propaganda. But that doesn't mean they are evil.
You just don't wanna see the truth. [mans his E-frame] You better get on board. Even you won't be safe here when your "friends" retake the camp.
ACAmanda Connor
I am not going, Sean. I believe Phaeton's order - with all its faults! - is the best way for the future.
I could force you to come with me but I won't. You have the right to make up your own mind. Even if you're wrong.
ACAmanda Connor
You are living in the past, Sean! Terran and Neosapien cooperation is the key to the future.
I'm sure it is. But not on Phaeton's terms.
S2 E7The Last Man
[the jumptroops capture a Neo Mega for the first time]
VPVince Pellegrino
Captain, about that weird Neo we captured, there's good news and bad news.
ABAvery Butler
I could use some good news.
VPVince Pellegrino
The good news is that, uh, his air supply is holding out.
ABAvery Butler
What's the bad news?
VPVince Pellegrino
He's stopped breathing.
You call that bad news?
S2 E8Dragon's Rock
Marsala [about Burns and Bronsky who were captured by Neosapiens]: By now, they could be almost anywhere on the planet.
Oh now that's a great attitude.
It is equally probable that they are no longer alive.
We'll find her, we have to!
I am simply pointing out probabilities.
How can you be so calm about it? Don't you care?
I do not express my feelings the way you do. That does not mean I feel less. Concern for friends is common to all humans, and we Neosapiens are very much human. If Terrans had remembered that, perhaps this war would never have been fought.
S2 E9Inner Dark
[Professor Algernon introduces his method of curing the Dark Matter Syndrome]
MTMed-tech
You propose to save this man's life with light?
AAlgernon
Well, yes if you put it that way.
Do you really think this is going to work?
AAlgernon
If my theory about Dark Matter Syndrome is correct, it will.
And, if it isn't correct?
AAlgernon
That never occurred to me.
S2 E11The First Step
[Glycon orders Thrax to lead Mercury forces to Venus, should their attack on the Exofleet fail]
TThrax
What about you?
GGlycon
I will lead the counterattack.
TThrax
You are sacrificing yourself for nothing.
GGlycon
Has it not occurred to you that we are all sacrificing ourselves for nothing? It has become Phaeton's war, not ours.
SSharos
What are Glycon's orders?
TThrax
Do you never grow tired of it, Sharos? The fighting?
SSharos
It is what we were bred for.
TThrax
And when the war is over? What will we do then?
SSharos
For us, the war will never be over.
