Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: You look lost in your thoughts.

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: It's never gonna end, is it?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: What?

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: I spent seven years fighting the Kilrathi. And then, I thought it was over, and humanity was united, right? Now, I'm taking aim on people who used to be my allies.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Come on, Colonel, we're just pilots, we don't get to choose the enemy. How did you become a flyer?

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: I ran away from home when I was still a teenager. Fell in with some privateers. About the only good thing to come of that was learning to fly. Signed on with Confed when the Kilrathi moved in on my home system. How about you?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Yeah, I thought I could stay away, but... this is all I know how to do.

COLONEL TAMARA "PANTHER" FARNSWORTH: We are smart people. We should be able to think of something better to do than all this killing.
