General Winston
- General Winston: [reading Tillie the computer's a report] "All enemy possibilities still in effect. Disappearance: unobserved. Safety factor ignored." Just as I thought. In spite of my orders, Capt. Lazzari was unobserved. "Note: Increased possibilities that enemy is aware of human presence. Note: Increased possibilities that enemy is not visible to human sight." What's it mean by that?
- Colonel Hal Danvers: A computer always reveals the obvious with the felicity of an elephant. No one saw the enemy, i.e., invisible.
- Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt: There's been a mishap, General. Capt. Lazzari's in trouble. Request permission to leave the vehicle immediately to go to his assistance.
- General Winston: Request under... consideration, Major. First, I want the facts. Was Capt. Lazzari attacked? If affirmative, by what?
- Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt: [holding back annoyance] I don't know, sir.
- General Winston: He was under constant surveillance?
- Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt: He was temporarily blocked from view behind wreckage of the M-1.
- General Winston: Well, how do you know ANYTHING happened to him?
- Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt: He screamed for help.
- General Winston: [sternly] Mr. Jerome, we are going to continue this mission as planned until it can be marked "accomplished."
- General Winston: Sigh... three years in preparation, four months in flight, five years of sleepless nights, just to put a colony on Mars..
