Carmen Ibanez: You know, if I wanted to run this much, I would have joined the mobile infantry.

Carmen Ibanez: How did the cannons fire? And why target our own ship?
Hero: Jenkins tried to warn us.
Carmen Ibanez: Carl is alive?
Hero: Locked himself in a bug cage.
Carmen Ibanez: And you're just now telling me this?
Hero: Look, captain, if you're ready for a full debriefing, I'm all for it.
Bugspray: Hero.
Hero: Jenkins found a queen on Fort Casey. He ordered us to capture it alive.
Carmen Ibanez: What the...?
Ratzass: Tell her the rest, major.
Carmen Ibanez: Yes, major. Tell me the rest of it.
Hero: I knew trying to take the queen would result in heavy casualties. I wasn't gonna sacrifice my men for a bug hunt.
Carmen Ibanez: So that's why he had you arrested. But he got the queen after all. Wait a minute. How the hell can a bug control a starship?
Hero: You're gonna have to ask Jenkins that.
