Quotes[]
| “ | Andrew: "This colony was scrapped before the war because it was a biological hazard, wasn't it? Mu: "Yeah. I remember the Mendel accident well. It caused quite a stir. But, because of that, it escaped with less damage. I'd say it's most appropriate for setting up base." |

| “ | Lacus: "But it has always been we humans who do this, and who stop this. Throughout history, there have been many people who feel the way we do. Would't it be great to create an era where that is not necessary?" Kira: "Yeah." |

| “ | Natarle: "It's been a while, Captain Ramius." Murrue: "Yes." Natarle: "I regret we have to meet again under these circumstances." Murrue: "Same here." Natarle: "I heard about what went on in Alaska. However, I strongly suggest that you surrender and thank things over with the top military officials. I don't know what help I can be, but I'll do everything I can to assist you. I know you're well aware of what this ship is capable of doing." Murrue: "Natarle. Thank you. But we cannot do that! This isn't only about what happened in Alaska. We have serious doubts about the Earth Forces as a whole. Therefore, there will be no surrender, and no return to the military!" Natarle: "Captain Ramius." |
