- Capt. Mark Markary: I'll tell you this, if there 'are' any intelligent creatures on this planet... they're our enemies.
- Capt. Mark Markary: One entire crew lost; two of our own crew gone. Bert dead, Eldon disappeared. And this unknown enemy keeps getting closer!
- Dr. Karan: The enemy is also becoming visible.
- Capt. Mark Markary: What do you mean by that?
- Dr. Karan: Well, you saw something. Something not quite identifiable out of the corner of your eye.
- Capt. Mark Markary: Ah, yes. As if it were composed of little globes of light, something fleeting, nothing definite. And the minute I looked at the things directly, they were gone.
- [Sanya gasps]
- Capt. Mark Markary: Sanya, what is it?
- Sanya: Oh, I - I got a shock.
- Capt. Mark Markary: How?
- Sanya: Touching that.
- Capt. Mark Markary: [touches the object Sanya indicated] Ouch!
