Line 61:
**** I think that this last bit qualifies the members of the Mesan Alignment as legally dead. Let me remind you: YOU DO NOT MESS WITH TREECATS.
***** They'll ''cut'' ya, man!
* Hell, just the scene at Trevor's Star when Honor is woken by her flag captain in the middle of the night. Remember that both star nations are at ''war'' during this point in time.
{{quote|'''Captain Cardones''': Your Grace, we've just picked up a hyper footprint. It's a single ship, about four light-minutes outside the system limit. It's quite near one of the FTL platforms, and it's squawking its transponder code.
'''Admiral Harrington''': And?
'''Captain Carones''': And it's a Havenite ship, Ma'am. In fact, according to its transponder, it's ''Haven One''.}}
* Queen Elizabeth's speech to her fellow Manticorans, in which she outlines all the primary events between ''At All Costs'' and ''Mission of Honor'', ending with Operation Oyster Bay and how it took them ''completely'' by surprise. She goes into detail about how badly they've been wounded, and how the {{spoiler|Solarian League}} is getting ready to try and pound them. Then she proceeds to assure them they ''will not'' succeed in doing so, that Manticore ''will'' stand tall, and ''will'' show the {{spoiler|League}} that they are not to be trifled with.
** It's basically a free fusion of the Allies leaders' speeches as their nations joined the [[World War Two]]. Somewhat subverted in that the Allies ''dwarfed'' Axis in terms of industrial and military might (and it still took them six years and fifty-odd millions dead to win), but even {{spoiler|the Grand Alliance}} is ''tiny'' compared to {{spoiler|the League}}.
