- Kai Chen: G.S.A. procedures say we should change course in exactly six hours, twenty-four minutes.
- Commander Stanton: That's what the procedures say, but what do your instincts say, Mr. Chen?
- Kai Chen: Uh... sir? I'd say change course now while we still have room to maneuver. You can't be too safe around a giant red star, sir.
- Commander Stanton: Very good. Procedures are fine but you'e gotta think for yourself. Trust your instincts.

- Trakeena: [thinking] They'd burn up in a star.
- Villamax: Exactly.
- Trakeena: [grinning delightedly] Huh. What a shame.
