Captain Jack Buckley : [coming upon the location of a vanished crewman] Lazzari was right here, wasn't he?
Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt : [over the radio] Yes.
Captain Jack Buckley : I hate to say it - it sounds crazy - but... there's no sign that Lazzari was ever even here. No struggle. Nothing. The enemy must really be invisible, like Tillie says.
Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt : Can you get that metal loose?
[Buckley easily lifts the twisted metal that Lazzari found difficult to raise]
Captain Jack Buckley : I take it all back, skipper. There's blood on this thing.

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.

Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt : Okay, Lazzari, let's have it again.
Captain Paul Lazzari : One: Descend to base of vehicle and wait for orders
Captain Jack Buckley : [clapping] Hey, very good. You got that right that time.
Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt : Shut up, Buckley.
Captain Paul Lazzari : Two: On command, proceed with caution to target, keeping always under observation from the vehicle.
Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt : Purpose?
Captain Paul Lazzari : Reconnoiter target for indication of hostile action against personnel of previous probe, namely M-1, which may have lead to their demise.
Major Charles 'Chuck' Merritt : Mission?
Captain Paul Lazzari : Gather up all evidence of exact nature of enemy, if any, and bring it back to the vehicle.
[Maj. Merrit gives him a look]
Captain Paul Lazzari : Uh, safely.
