Captain Dylan Hunt:  If I 'd deployed one Nova bomb , just _ one _ , I could have stopped the Long Night before it began . I did n't . I was standing at the edge of the abyss , and I blinked , and now people like Tiama and Arun pay the price for my hesitation . I wo n't make that mistake twice .
Rev Bem: You committed an act of mercy . You erred on the side of hope , and that is why you will win . There are no stronger weapons than mercy and hope .
Captain Dylan Hunt: Yeah , maybe so , but I would still prefer a platoon of Lancers .
