- Diamond Joe: Are you kidding? I may be smart, but I'm still a redneck.
- Jake Townsend: How can I trust you?
- Kronnan: I am a centurion. I have pledged my life to protect this planet and the Omega seed. The other, he is a rogue, a terrorist. The rod he carries is the switch that will detonate the seed and destroy us all.
- Jake Townsend: What about those men and women you killed?
- Kronnan: It was they who attacked me. Do you not have order on this planet? Aren't the rules not the same?
