Kip Reissner: Where there's oxygen, there can be life. And where there's life, there's death.

Helen Salinger: There you go again, Kip. Why is it that the unknown always frightens people? Why can't we expect love and friendship instead of death?

Kip Reissner: I'm all for love. And friendship. But I worry.

Alpha: You are now one of us. Ask anything.

Helen Salinger: Well, I... I-I still can't be sure whether you're speaking my language or I yours.

Alpha: We need no language, Helen. We can project our thoughts long distances, as you well know. Someday, we will teach you. In the meantime, we will speak your tongue. Just as we speak all of Earth's tongues.

Beta: Remember that our generation predates yours by centuries.

Helen Salinger: What you taught me about celestial navigation made me look like quite a genius. But why me, Alpha, and not the others?

Beta: We have no use for men.

Alpha: What Beta means is that we have no contact or control over them as we do among ourselves. It seemed rather difficult to get a crew entirely composed of women. We decided to concentrate on you.
