Kitai Raige: The Ursa?

Cypher Raige: There're three possibilities. The first and most likely is that it died in the crash. The second and less likely is that it is injured very badly and still contained. The third and least likely is that it is out. We will proceed, however, in anticipation of the worst-case scenario. Every movement will be under protocol Escape and Evade. If he's out there... I will see him long before he gets anywhere near you. Do you understand?

Kitai Raige: Yes, sir.

Cypher Raige: Do exactly as I tell you and we will survive.

Commander Velan: Cadet...

Kitai Raige: Sir, my father's returning home tonight. I haven't seen him in... It's a very special day for our family. And I have got to be able to tell him that I am a Ranger, sir.

Commander Velan: You tell your father that I said, "Welcome home." Dismissed.
