"Red Abbey" "Looks like Lancaster finally found someone with enough clearance to read the Morik data. What Colvin dug up is...cataclysmic, if you pardon the term." "09a-02"
"Red Abbey" "Get a physical copy of the decrypted Mira data from McKearney. She'll have a backup of her own. We need to bring this to Alban Naval Intelligence." "09a-03"
"Red Abbey" "I'm getting both of you out of there. Leave everything to me. Just make sure you have the data on you when you fly out." "09a-04"

Colvin "Ten minutes ago the Imperatrix entered the vicinity and blockaded Ariel station. She was accompanied by the cruiser Naga. Recon elements report more Combine ships are on the way." "09a-16"
Colvin "I am launching our remaining fighter strength to screen Fifth Fleet assets against Combine attack. The Imperatrix has not yet launched a fighter or ASM strike but Romanowska may be waiting until she can bring her full weight of arms to bear." "09a-17"
Colvin "The carrier Longview is holding the majority of the station personnel. The rest will be on board the transports Rocinante and Estella Haversham." "09a-18"
Colvin "I am holding the Osiris in position to provide area defense for the evacuation transports and Longview until the evacuation is complete." "09a-19"
Colvin "Once the evacuation is complete, our ships will have to move clear of the surrounding asteroid field before they can jump. We will likely be running a gauntlet of Combine warships." "09a-20"
Colvin "Achieving space superiority and undertaking focused strikes against the Combine warships will be necessary for successful transit." "09a-21"
Colvin "Many pilots from Longview will be flying alongside Osiris pilots today. Note that your wing allocation is determined by seniority and experience. There's not many of you left." "09a-22"
