- Zem: [of the Raza crew] Friends of yours?
- Adrian Maro: Friends? You telling me you don't recognize who they are? They are the baddest of bads, the deadliest of dead-shots, this galaxy's most notorious, most dangerous...
- Three: Yeah.
- Adrian Maro: Most despicable...
- Three: Whoa.
- Adrian Maro: Sorry, too much?
- Two: Like it or not, we've been backed into a corner. We need to force the issue.
- Adrian Maro: Uh, so who is going to make that particular house call?
- Two: Me and Three.
- Five: I wanna help.
- Two: And you will - by staying here and keeping an eye on things. Make sure nobody does anything stupid. Warn us if they try.
- Adrian Maro: I'll stay here and back up the kid.
- Five: [scoffs] The kid?
- Adrian Maro: Y-younger person.
- Solara Shockley: If you plan on taking that garrison, you're gonna need the extra body.
- Three: You're just gonna get in the way.
- Solara Shockley: I'm former special forces, black ops, SDC. Stellar Defense Corp.
- Three, Adrian Maro: Really?
- Solara Shockley: Yeah, really.
- Adrian Maro: Wow.
- Solara Shockley: It was on my résumé. You did read my résumé, right?
- Adrian Maro: ...Skimmed it.
- Adrian Maro: I've convinced the workers to take advantage of the situation, and proclaim their independence.
- Three: Why?
- Adrian Maro: Well, so they can cast off the yolk of oppression, and finally taste freedom.
- Three: No... what's in it for you?
- Adrian Maro: Oh, a 10% commission on future profits as their union representative.
- Five: - - You know, you do make a pretty good Tabor.
- Adrian Maro: Tabor's gone, so I'm taking over his operation. I was his apprentice. Now I'm your new handler.
- Three: So we came all the way out here... for you?
- Adrian Maro: Well, you did save all these lives, so there's that.
- Adrian Maro: Who knows what happened to Tabor? We may never see him again. But in the meantime, I'm running his clients. I have all of his contacts.
- Three: And many of his annoying habits.
- Five: How long has Tabor been their handler?
- Adrian Maro: Awhile. He repped the original crew.
- Five: Original crew?
- Adrian Maro: Yeah. Boone, Ryo, Shrike, and Jasper.
- Five: Wait, Shrike and Jasper? What happened to them?
- Adrian Maro: I can't be sure, but I think Portia happened to them.
