• [BOOM BOOM]
• El Puño: Taneel: Please. Something is seriously wrong. At least let me check the terminal.
• Taneel: Fine. Quickly.
• El Puño: L --Lord. It's a Continuum' attack fleet.
• Taneel: Here??
• El Puño: There's over 10,000 cruisers in orbit. That's... so much firepower. I... I can't fight numbers that big.
• [BOOM BOOM BOOM]
• Taneel: Get a hold of yourself. Order the defenses, and a civilian evacuation.
• El Puño: "The defenses"? Dammit Taneel, there's no defense against 10,000 ships.
• Taneel: So we run with the civilians! Punch a hole through the Continuum phalanx. Leap anywhere that's not here. Save as many citizens as we can!
• El Puño: At best I have 100 cruisers in orbit. What wasn't sent to the revolt on Las Hermanitas was lost to the Vinn.
• Taneel: Then we stop talking, and do what must be done!
• El Puño: Do what must be done...
  Do what must be done...
• 'El Puño: OK, I'M BROADCASTING PLANET-WIDE.
  In the name of the emperor, I've ordered the 'captain's dictate to be immediately executed.
• Taneel: The dictate?? But there's still hope!
