"Prep me five bacta tanks!"
"What have they done to you K2?"
"Take him to maintenance for repairs and see if you can't get his data out of the archive."
"What do you think happened to Erso?"
"Dead, I heard. The squadron took him out."
"Shame. I'd like to know more about him."
"I suppose this lot'll be able to tell you."
"Jyn? Sergeant Erso? I'm Dara, your nurse. Can you hear me?"
"I've got heartbeats!"
"How did they manage that?"
"Where the Force is Senator Mothma?"
"Senate meeting. Chancellors orders."
"Draven's gonna kill her.'
"Has anyone seen the Princess?"
"She got the plans."
"Can we focus on the task at hand?"
"Not really. We've lost two squadrons in the space of a day, not to mention our Princess has gone rogue!"
"Don't say that! She'll be back. She can't exactly let two members of the Senate be seen leaving a battle that took out an Imperial base, can she?"
"I wish she'd hurry up. The sooner that thing goes down, the better."
"I wonder if Erso was telling the truth?"
"Which one?"
"Doesn't really matter. Both are under the impression there's a flaw. Only difference is one died to tell us and the other put herself in a bacta tank to get us the plans."
"They were heroes!"
"Reckless ones."
"We might actually have a chance if this works!"
"How many squads do we loose for yet another microscopic chance? I don't buy it."
"Well I do, and Red Squadron is taking that thing out, flaw or no flaw."
"Good luck, we'll dig your graves."
"Would you like to pre-book hospital beds?"
"Shut up, Cobie. We can do it."
" Sure you can."
"What's the situation with these sorry souls?"
"These two've got pretty bad burns, but nothing they shouldn't recover from. Rest mainly have non-fatal blaster bolt wounds. She's broken her wrist, several cracked ribs and we think he has mild spinal damage, but they should survive, if we can get rid of the pain and get them conscious."
"Let's hope we can. These are good soldiers."
"And even better people. Not everyone's a statistic."
"Not necessarily. Galen Erso built the Death Star! Can you call him a good person?"
"Absolutely! He took the risk and sent us information, when he could've let us die and stayed comfortable in the Empire."
"He was directly responsible for the deaths of millions of people including his daughter!"
"She's not dead!"
"She will be when the Empire finds us. Which they will. And we'll all die."
"We'll only be found if someone betrays us."
"Is that an accusation?!"
"Might be. Depends if you've got enough of a guilty conscience to interpret it like that."
"That's ridiculous."
"Psychology has more to do with war than you think."
"Why don't you go back to your patients where you belong, doctor?"
"Of course, Sir."
"We will destroy this thing, Jyn. I'll make sure they do. I promise."
