- Commander? - he mumbles quietly - I thought... thought I heard your voice...
- Did they get home? The... the Jade kids? Did they... get to Yukon?

- Commander, those people... they treat me well here... I agreed to all this... I just need to have your permission...
He passed out for a few second and recovered back to state that someone could describe as "barely conscious"...
-Co... commander?
