'''SECOND OFFICER''': We're in unequivocal commit! We can't even manage a skip out!
'''CANERA CAPTAIN''': So much for staying hypersonic. And we're too big for them to tractor in... and keep us from bouncing. Range to Mendra?

We can't even manage a jump out!'. Just think what those neurons could be doing if I hadn't worked on that project. Terribly sad I still remember.''"

== 25th Anniversary ==
== Commercial Break A In ==
 
On May 20, 2020, Privateer 2: The Darkening director [[Steve Hilliker]] released [[The Darkening 25th Anniversary Restoration]] which featured footage restored from Betacam tapes. The footage has been edited down into a cinema cut but where available it is of much higher quality than the game's files. 1_S is cut down and appears slightly later as a flashback in the 25th Anniversary Restoration cut.

== Betacam ==
== Commercial Break B Out ==
 
A pair of Betacam SP tapes recovered from [[Digital Anvil]] have provided high quality versions of much of Privateer 2: The Darkening's Main Plot. These cuts are not final and digital effects are missing. 1_S is noticeably longer than the final version.
