 * "Six Spartans have more serious injuries. They can fight from a fixed position, but they have limited mobility."
 * "...Four KIA."
 * You did what you had to. Most of us wouldn't have made it if you hadn't been thinking on your feet.

 * "I'm all for a good fight, Fred, but those odds are a little lopsided even for us... like ten thousand to one."
