“The Anadens have a somewhat different perspective on death.”

“No matter what comes, we will persevere. It’s not over until we win.”
Oh, how she wanted to believe him. How she wanted to believe that her father not only had all the answers, but the power to make everything okay. Once upon a time she had believed it; then he hadn’t come home. “Why are you so sure?”

“Solum invoked a sensation akin to lingering déjà vu in the wake of a dream.
It was not Earth. Its city-planet architectural stylings hid the outline of continents that might have otherwise been recognizable and altered the vibrant blue-and-green color palette enough to erase any familiarity in its silhouette.
Yet if you tilted your head just so and let your gaze unfocus a little, you could almost see Earth. Its echo, its memory.”

“Coordinates streamed into her mind while she yanked on her environment suit, foregoing every safety check she’d ever learned.
‘Alex, we will try to help him together, but it is far too dangerous—’
She grabbed the module she used to access the circuitry of the ship, bypassed Valkyrie and fired up the Caeles Prism.
‘Alex—’
She opened a wormhole in the middle of the cabin, set its exit point at the coordinates Valkyrie had provided, and ran through it.”

“I’ll gloss right over the implication in what you said that the Reor are sentient entities—for now. Dare I ask why they gave you a copy of their universal decryption key?”
Alex and Caleb shared a look, and she shrugged. “We can only speculate, but it’s possible they want us to win.”
Miriam dropped her elbows on the table. “Hmm. Okay. In that case, I welcome the minerals to our side of the fight.”

“Her head dropped into her hands. Dammit!
She’d spent months preparing for the challenges of a war against an immortal enemy wielding vastly superior numbers. She’d spent years preparing for the challenges of leading an assemblage of disparate fleets headed by disparate personalities. But it had never occurred to her to prepare for the challenges of her dead husband walking back into her life in the middle of both.
She had no idea what to do, but she was fairly certain she was doing it wrong.”

“The ceiling shattered, and the vacuum created yanked her into the air. Her face grazed a shard of the ceiling as it broke off. Then she was in space.
Her left hand unlatched the breather mask and slid it on while her right felt for the helmet trigger.
Her finger slipped past it, fumbled back for it.
Found it.

“The Idoni Primor’s gaze fell on Eren immediately. Her head tilted in idle curiosity while a fingertip dipped into a crystal bowl beside her. “I know your face, anarch.”
She brought her fingertip to her mouth and sucked it dry of gods only feared what hypnol. “You have been a most troublesome little asi of late. Have you come here to repent, to fall to your knees and beg to be allowed to return to the fold? Fair warning—you’ll be on those knees for a while.”

“The progeny will be lost and adrift. Without the integrals reinforcing their focus and purpose, they will begin to question both.”
“Sator, this is not a bad thing. Humans spend years struggling to figure out what they want to do with their lives, then often revisit the question at multiple points in the course of living it. It’s in our nature.”
“Commandant, I’m sure I need not remind you that we are not Human.”
“No. But perhaps when this is over, you will become a bit more so.”
