Comic Book Quote of the Month:
Ensign: "Cytothex 3 destroyed, Admiral"
Alien Admiral: "Very good, ensign."
2nd Officer: "Seems a sort of pity, sir. Was a lovely planet…in an alien way, of course. And it's unfortunate that we had to destroy… what? 3 billion… 4 billion sentient beings?"
Alien Admiral: "Of course, of course. One never likes having to do that, number two. But the alternative…to simply let the zuggernaut run free…chance it coming to our planet…well, that's simply not to be endured!"
2nd Officer: "No, no. Of course not, sir! I simply regret the necessity."
Alien Admiral: "Your sensitivity speaks well of your upbringing, number two."
