Unity: Chandra/Kandra Testify [[Juni re-enters the deposition pod]] / Juni: Sorry I'm late.

Unity: Falling apart Arbiter: Could you describe the involvement of Officer Juni Melrose in your studies? / Chandra: Ah, Juni. So strange... Well, we were having some trouble with the device, and Juni managed to get it to work. After that point it began to behave a bit oddly. / Arbiter: How so? / Chandra: Well, it made itself...
Unity: Intents vs. Expectations Arbiter: Officer Melrose, my mammal facial expression guide shows that you are looking irritated. Was the Corentin testimonial not quite what you expected? / Juni: I must have taken something they said out of context. / Juni: Also I'm not a mammal, by the way. / Arbiter: Precedent establishes you as "close...
Unity: Doctor's assessment Goldberg: Melrose had been dropped off by persons unknown during a major seizure. When it awoke, it had no recollection of who or what it was.

Unity: No surprises Arbiter: [[voice-over]] Officer Melrose, I find it interesting that if you had not come forward to defend Captain Lombard, we would have found him guilty of attempted murder.

Unity: Consequences Arbiter: [[voice-over]] I apologize for the stress, Agent, but it would be helpful if you could describe the "Homin thing" in more detail. / Sam: Weird crap.

Unity: Solidarity Arbiter: [[voice-over, in mid-sentence]] case, how do you explain its recent behavior? / Sasha: [[voice-over]] Officer ME-LI-RÓ-SU's nature is one of a non-linear thought process.

Mom, there are more important things than smalltalk. / Hira: There is always time...
