- "Nail"
- With Valerius dethroned, guess who's crawled in to buy up the wreckage? Cygnus fixers, holding a 'supply summit' with the Vanguard's leftover elite. Everything's for sale — including the routes YOUR allies eat from.
- PILOT
- The acquisition relay. They lock that down, they can starve every free clan into a company town.
- "Nail"
- So we crash the summit, seize the relay, and remind the corporation what happened to the LAST empire that treated the clans like inventory. I'll bring the manners. You bring the gun.

This conversation uses an older floor number than the current mission length. It is included here for story reference; its original timing may differ from your playthrough.
- "Nail"
- Relay's ours, fixers are fleeing, and the free clans keep their supply lines. Cygnus will file this under 'acceptable losses' and smile at us at the next trade summit like nothing happened.
- PILOT
- Corporations don't lose wars. They reschedule them.
- "Nail"
- Which is why you and I are going to be VERY rich and VERY vigilant. Hey — remember your first week? I had money on you lasting. Best bet I ever made, kid. Drinks are on my winnings.
