Zoey: Hey, you! I'm Zoey Zenger from Undernet News. Who are you, and why are you here?
Soldier: Uh...private Danlami Jalloh. I follow General Sakhut and Senator Pakawa. They wish to turn the Earth upside down. I am their humblest spade.
Msaka: We've mined the north approach...
Jacob: Msaka. Where's Girii and Kentaro?
Msaka: Jacob. You've decided not to kill us all?
Jacob: Nah. I'm trying to retire, remember?
Msaka: Your 'retirement' is more of a threat to me than any army.
