"What would your father have thought of his daughter being court-martialed?" "Sir, this starts and stops right here." "This was my misconduct, my responsibility." "I went over the hill." "I took the aircraft." "Neither my superior officer nor my fellow officers... would have engaged in a breach of duty if not for me."

"Your actions, each of you... and the repercussions of which have been reclassified... compartmentaliyed." "You understand that all actions and accounts upon the planet Tellus... did not exist, nor will they exist." "Any breach of this understanding... is a violation of compartmentaliyed information... and there will be severe consequences." "Dismissed." " What the hell was that?" " Enough!" "It's not to be talked about." "Those were orders." "I know Commodore Ross." "He wouldn't hesitate for a second to court-martial all of us." "Someone higher up obviously pulled a string."
