* "We don't have any choice, doctor."
* "If we can't move the Composer, we have to make sure the Didact can't either."
* "I'm sorry, doctor. Keep routing your people to the evac centers. Once we take care of the Composer, you won't have much time."

* "Ready or not, I need it now!"
* "Cortana, see if you can raise Tillson. Get me a status on the rest of the station." 
* "Cortana, I need that info! (''sigh'') Look... don't think about the Didact. Don't think about the Composer. Only focus on finding me Tillson."

The game… it's the only thing I can remember about the life I had before I met Doctor Halsey. Since then, I have experienced a lifetime of combat. Through thirty years of war against alien aggressors… I have always known my fate. I knew someday I would die in battle. But now that it is here… now that it is time to die… I find I am not ready.” — Internal monologue, while having head crushed by the [[Ur-Didact]]
