    "For defense we'll have to depend on armor as heavy as we can make and still remain within the bounds of practical construction. I don't believe we'll be able to build up enough mass to insulate against their negative catalysis ray. We'll have to depend on mobility and offense." -- Richard Arcot

    "The invaders may be behind one of those big engines, quite unaware of us. If they're there, and they see us, they'll be ready to fight.
