  Six : Hi.

  Miles Connor : Mal. What's that short for?

  Six : We don't have time to be running errands.

  Two : Or going to parties.

  The Android : I sincerely hope we find the source of the signal quickly, but in the event we don't, we might be here a while. I suggest we try to fit in.

  Five : Toilet paper?

  The Android : Two-ply. But see what's on special.

• Three : No, we are not getting a dog!

  Two : It would be great for... crew morale.

  Three : We could screw up the timeline. What if the dog that we bring back is instrumental in finding a cure for Sokolsky Syndrome or something?

• The Android : Six hundred years' worth of stellar drift, approximately. It's the only possible explanation.

  Two : Wait, are you saying we traveled through time?

  Three : We went 600 years into the future?

  The Android : No, of course not.

  Three : Good. Had me going there for a second.

  The Android : ...We've traveled 600 years into the past.

• Professor Brophey : I couldn't take the Drive with me. Instead, I hid a recall command in the program.

  Two : Then you built another one and escaped to the past.

  Three : So you ran away.

  Professor Brophey : I was being hunted by a corporation!

  Three : Join the club.

• The Android : If we do create a paradox, the results could be less than desirable.

  Two : Care to be a little more specific?

  The Android : Of course, no one knows for certain what will happen. There are competing theories. We could simply return to a future that we find unrecognizable.

  Six : Wasn't that great to begin with.

  The Android : Or we could all simply cease to exist.

  Two : Well. Let's hope it's not the same drive, then.
