Transcript

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Colonel, you remember our bet?

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: I was hoping you'd forget, Captain.


CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: I told you you weren't through with flying. You kept telling me you were done.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Well, never say never, I guess. I gotta tell you, this ship really puts the Victory to shame. Looks like Confed's been taking good care of you.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: Yes, they've been taking care of me. It's a different task now.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: But that means I still need good pilots.

1ST LIEUTENANT DREW NAISMITH: Captain Eisen, please report to the bridge.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM EISEN: We're getting ready to jump to the Hellespont System -- take care of a little trouble. If you take a look around, you'll find it a lot different than your last tour of duty.
