Space: Above and Beyond quotes

Know one thing Lieutenant, every girl's weak spot is the back of her neck

Deadly radiation heated the acidic oceans, comets and asteroids rained with force greater than all the nuclear arsenals of the twentieth century and yet by an inexplicable somehow, life became.
