“You will be glad that you are not like them. You'll be glad that you showed mercy to those who did not deserve it. Watching you gives me hope. If we are to send representatives down to a new world, they should not be people without mercy. Babel chose you because you're poor. They thought you would be easy to manipulate. Twice you've proven them wrong. Twice you've set the sword aside when they've asked you to swing it. When you look back, it won't be mercy that you regret.”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia

“There’s not much left for me on Earth. I wanted to go as far away as possible. Where better than a new planet?” Her eyes squeeze shut for a second. “But they don’t tell you the pain comes with you. They don’t tell you that hurt travels at light-speed too.”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia
“They say pain is weakness leaving the body. If that’s true, each of us is becoming strong enough to carry worlds on our shoulders.”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia
“You get in there and fight, Emmett. Be worthy. Not in their eyes, but in yours. Break the rules you need to, but never forget who you are and where you come from. When they knock you down, and they will, don’t you quit on me.”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia
“What do you pray for?"

"Rest."

"Who do you pray to?"

"I don't know.”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia

“You lose yourself to anger and that’s it. It’s a lonely road, and a long one. But if you find a way to control your feelings, if you can take that anger and make sure you’re the boss of it, then you won’t be so bad”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia
“take their time removing our bindings. Morning orders her crew to undo their nyxian transformations before we can get a look at the night goggles they used. Longwei and the others look up at us, confused about what happened. All we can do is shrug back as Defoe and Requin appear on the platforms above. They lead everyone through a side hatch. We walk by one too many scoreboards on the way back, one too many reminders of how we’ve failed.”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia
“own teammates to come. The moment’s gone, slipped through my fingers. I stand there for a while, trying to catch Morning’s eye,”
Scott Reintgen, Nyxia
“Does Morning want to talk, or does she want to talk?”
