Babylon 51994

Marcus Cole:
[giving his report to Ivanova] And according to one of our units on the border of Centauri space, they've continued massing their fleet. We don't know why. Maybe they expect a counterattack. It's hard to say. [notices she's not listening] And they have much to be concerned about. There's always the threat of an attack by, say, a giant space dragon, the kind that eats the sun once a month. It's a nuisance, but what can you expect from reptiles? Did I mention my nose is on fire, and that I have 15 wild badgers living in my trousers? [she gives him a look] I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets?
