- Captain Jonathan Power: [voice over] Database journal 47-4 mark 17, captain reporting. We've received word of a Bio-Dread attack of what was once the beautiful resort city of Oak Park. I'd spend a summer there as a child. It was very pretty, I remember.
- Lord Dread: Every cell in your body implodes when you are digitized. Then, when you are reformed, these same cells explode. Now then. Where is the woman?
- [waits a moment]
- Lord Dread: Too long. Soaron, digitize him again.
- Soaron: [schrieks] With pleasure.
- Lieutenant Michael 'Tank' Ellis: [Jessica overhears Tank and Scout as they pass in the corridor] Ever visit New York?
- Sergeant Robert 'Scout' Baker: Before the Metal Wars. Now I hear even the cockroaches moved up.
- Lord Dread: Someday when Power and his barbarians are done away with, there shall be ever lasting splendor. A new and better world. For that I need you. I need your vision as much as you do.
- Jessica Morgan: I don't understand.
- Lord Dread: You will.
- Jessica Morgan: He offers me nothing. His world. But in my mind is the world as it wast. Mine is a better world than the one you live in, Captain. I wish you could see it.
- Lieutenant Michael 'Tank' Ellis: Jumpship's on the way in. Where's Dread?
- Captain Jonathan Power: Alone.
