• Emperor Cruz: Every ship in our fleet -- and in the Continuum fleet -- has a governor on its speed.
  We fly slower than the Drive would allow, because no pilot, no computer, can react fast enough to oncoming debris in pinched space.
• Emperor Cruz: But a fleet piloted by your squirrel-thing could take the Drive to its theoretical limits!
• Emperor Cruz: ... And the Continuum would have no way to fight it!
• Emperor Cruz: [off-screen] So here is what you will do: You will find his planet. You will find his people. And you will get them all fyling for me.

• Emperor Cruz: And to accomplish that, you'll have your pick of the finest crew in the fleet! ... A chance to pick the best of the best!
