Quotes8

  • Sador: [Nell self-destructs near "Hammerhead's" stellar converter, which backfires] ... Monitor the converter axis!
  • Dako: Malmori: It's destabilizing, reaching critical! We're all gonna die!
  • Sador: That can't be! I'm going to live forever!
  • [His dreadnaught begins to disintegrate around him]
  • Sador: ... I wanted to live forever!
  • [He vanishes brilliantly, along with "Hammerhead"]
  • Sador: Hear me, beings of Akir: I am Sador of the Malmori. I have come with my forces to conquer you. If you resist, I will crush you. I possess a stellar converter, the most powerful weapon in the universe. You cannot resist me. I want your planet to be my colony. Your harvest comes in seven risings of your red giant. I will return then, and you will accept me as your master. If you do not submit, your planet and all life on it will be burned to ash.
  • [as "Hammerhead", Sador's dreadnaught, is approaching Akir]
  • Yago: This is Akir, a planet of stone with a single green spot.
  • Sador: Let's see it. What about their forms?
  • Yago: Comparable with ours. They have a solar technology. No known defense capacity.
  • Sador: Interesting. Let's check that.
  • [Cayman's ship "Zymer" charges "Hammerhead"]
  • Cayman: Sador? This is Cayman of the Lambda Zone. Turn around, you overaged degenerate, and we'll bump heads!
  • Sador: What do you make our force field at?
  • Yago: A ten-six.
  • Sador: And what do you make HIS at?
  • Yago: It's an elite Trianzymer - ten-two.
  • Sador: Of what form are you, Cayman?
  • Cayman: I am of the Lazuli.
  • Sador: I thought I had the honor of making that form extinct, long ago! I won't fail this time! Here I come, Cayman of the Lambda Zone
  • [in "Hammerhead's" sick bay, Sador prepares himself for surgery]
  • Sador: [intimidatingly] Are you capable of speech?
  • Nestor 2: [unfazed] Yes, quite capable.
  • Sador: Good. And do you have a high tolerance for pain?
  • Nestor 2: Almost none at all, I'm afraid.
  • Sador: How unfortunate for you. How many ships do the Akira have, and what are their capabilities?
  • Nestor 2: If I told you that, it would give you an unfair advantage.
  • Sador: This is my surgeon, Dako. Dako is expert at inflicting pain... while keeping the patient alive.
  • Nestor 2: It is good to have skills.
  • Yago: [carrying a bag of ashes] Our emissary has returned from Umateal. They have replied to our ultimatum.
  • Sador: And?
  • [Yago hands over the bag, which Sador examines]
  • Sador: What's this?
  • Yago: It is our emissary, sir. They have... powdered him.
  • [Sador throws the bag in a rage, just missing him]
  • Yago: They are a... proud... form!
  • Sador: In an hour, they'll be an EXTINCT one, not a trace of them left, not even their dust.
  • ["Hammerhead" returns to Akir but cannot find Kalo and Tembo]
  • Sador: Could we POSSIBLY be out of range?
  • Yago: Not at all, sir. Something must be wrong.
  • Sador: [disgusted] What's WRONG is that I have an army full of GENETIC MISTAKES! Why can't my mutants be intelligent, like Melye?
  • Yago: Well, you can't expect us to measure up to YOU, sir.
  • Sador: Don't flatter me! Those two probably slammed their ship into an asteroid.
  • Yago: Or they MAY have been shot down.
  • Sador: Shot down? How? Akir has nothing to put in the air!
  • Yago: Somebody came to help.
  • Sador: Help Akir against ME? Hmm! Nobody could be THAT stupid. Not even Kalo and Tembo! OR YOU!
  • Sador: This is Sador of the Malmori. I command you to surrender.
  • Nell: [sarcastically] I'll surrender, you sorry son of a mutant.
