DO YOU EAT THE CHICKEN? I MEAN, DID YOU EAT THE CHICKEN-LIKE MEAT THEY SERVED?

COULDN'T HAVE PAID ME TO EAT THAT.

AT LEAST THEY'RE PAYING US TO HUNT DOWN THE STRAGGLERS…WELL, AS YOU POINTED OUT, CASEY, THE "I HOPE THEY'RE" STRAGGLERS.

SEEMS TO ME WE'VE BEEN ON THE DEFENSIVE SINCE THE START OF THIS ENGAGEMENT. HOW MANY CLEAN SWEEPS HAVE WE DONE?

FEELS LIKE THE BUGS ARE CALLING THE SHOTS AT THE MOMENT.

MIDWAY GOT LUCKY WITH THE WORMHOLE, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE REALLY PREPARED FOR A SECOND ASSAULT. HAVE YOU SEEN THE SCANS ON THE NUMBER OF CRAFT THEY HAD POISED TO ENTER THAT WORMHOLE BEFORE ICE JR. TOOK IT DOWN?

ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.

RIGHT, MAESTRO?
