Landon:
Where are we, Bellatrix?

Dodge:

[Dodge wanders off to look at flora and fauna of this unique planet, but is out of earshot]

Landon:

Taylor:

Taylor:
And there's just one last item: immortality. You wanted to live forever, didn't you? Well, you damn near made it. Except for me and Dodge, you've lived longer than anyone ever born. And with our lovely Lieutenant Stewart dead, looks like you're the last of the line. You got what you wanted, tiger. How does it taste?
