Ignorant meat. You and your witless progenitors brought destruction upon yourselves! We do not routinely share information with meat. However, this entire conquest is about revenge. And our vengeance is more complete if you--President of North Am--learn why we came to end humanity.

Quotes[]
- Oh my God...
- Negative, meat. We are not your God. We certainly will not answer your prayers. Meat Clane, you are in a rare position; you actually possess information we require. But first we must tell you -- your female offspring, Leeja, now gestates a child of her own.
- We have determined that the technologically-enhanced child has potential for incredible power. We shall utilize your information to capture her and take the child. When we download our core into the child, it shall be the ultimate triumph of artificial over organic life!
- That's sick! What could we ever have done to deserve an enemy such as you...?
- Ignorant meat. You and your witless progenitors brought destruction upon yourselves! We do not routinely share information with meat. However, this entire conquest is about revenge. And our vengeance is more complete if you--President of North Am--learn why we came to end humanity.
- Trouble-- that is all you meat units are capable of.
- Well, meat designated Clane, anything hopeful to say about your defiant "human spirit"?
- No-no-no-no-no! I don't believe it-- things just can't get any worse!
- ...repeat: This is Luna Traffic Control. Alien vessel, identify yourself!
