• "Commander, you're bleeding." - To Rtas Vadum.

• "Yes, the Demon may be among us. And if he is..." - To Rtas Vadum before being interrupted.

And losing it will be a great inconvenience. But if you find the Demon. It becomes your first priority." - To Rtas Vadum, giving him the mission report.
• "Here is the information on the layout of the ship. Plus the override command codes for its systems. With those you can override any commands given to the system except those of the Legate on board. The Minister of Etiology." - To Rtas Vadum, giving him the command codes.
