Quotes 

• Andrei Ivanov : [on his death bed]  Is that you, Susan?

  Lt. Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Yes.

  Andrei Ivanov : Oh dear god, I never thought I'd see your face again, it makes this easier. Susan, I know I haven't been the best of fathers to you. But when your mother passed on and your brother was killed in the war I was too wrapped up in my own grief to pay attention to your needs. And when you joined Earthforce against my wishes.

  Lt. Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : You don't have to say this father.

  Andrei Ivanov : Yes, yes I must. There's no more time, I want you to know how proud I am of you Susan, I always have been. But a father should gve his daughter love as well as respect, and in that I failed you, I'm sorry, I'm ashamed. Forgive me.

  Lt. Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : [nods head slightly] 

  Andrei Ivanov : Thank you, 'Dushenka moya'

  Lt. Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : 'Little soul' You haven't called me that for... Papa!
