Quotes 

• Karl Larson : I think you're making a big mistake, Captain.

  Nick : [spins on his heels]  Oh, yeah? You want to clarify that?

  Karl Larson : I'm offering you the opportunity of a lifetime and you're passing it up for all of us.

  Nick : For all of us? Your opportunity of a lifetime has cost us the life of our ship's captain, it has endangered the lives of this crew, and it's wasting our critical time. All this for some half-baked delusional belief that you'll make yourself rich. There is no opportunity here and there is no us.

• Nick : [about the alien object]  I'm not convinced we shouldn't just blow it out of the closest airlock.

  Karl Larson : You can't be serious! Do you have any idea what you're saying?

  Nick : I'm saying I don't know what the hell it is and nothing you've shown me or told me indicates that you do either. Maybe it is an alien artifact, maybe it's a magic trick. Maybe it's a distillation of knowledge from an advanced civilization, maybe it's just a toy, an alien's child toy.

  Danika : Or an alien sex object; it looks like...

  Nick : [Interrupts]  Or maybe it was something so dangerous that the only way someone could finally get rid of it was by burying it... maybe... it has no business being on this ship.

• Karl Larson : Stars die so we may live. We die so stars may be reborn.
