Bentusi): The Devourer cannot be stopped. We must flee or even memory will
die. We will not be Bound.

(Fleet Command): Yes, yes! You will not be bound--whatever that means! Well,
guess what: we won’t let you go. It doesn’t matter how we die. One ancient
monster is as good as another.

(Bentusi): We. . .are. . .not. . .monsters.

(Fleet Command): Aren’t you? Look around. Look what have you done to our
fleet. All because we dared to get in your way! Look at yourselves--the Aloof
and Mighty Bentusi! Slaughtering the people who asked for your help. You’re
worse than the Beast. At least the Beast doesn’t pretend to be righteous.

(Bentusi): We fear. For the first time in the countless orbits. . .We fear.

(Fleet Command): Join the Kiith! We’re not blind, just scared. As scared as
you. Now are you going to help us, or are we going to have to ram this
mining ship down the throat of the first station that approaches?

(Bentusi): That will not be necessary. We see our own madness reflected in
yours. We will do what we can to help.
