- Terrence Meyers: The great rocket shook as I blasted through the atmosphere. The azure globe shimmered beneath me, vast oceans roiling, entire continents within my view. I had flown higher than any living thing ever had. It was, the greatest adventure ever known to man. And then, nothing, blackness. Not only had I touched the face of God, I became God.
- Detective William Murdoch: God?
- Terrence Meyers: Hm. I recall nothing of the descent. All I know is I awoke to the smiling faces of the Murut. I was now in Sabah, near the village of Nabawan. And in that village, I was no longer human. I was Ranying. Supreme God, fallen from above.
- Justice Robert Shay: You sucked a man's guts out?
- Terrence Meyers: It was a matter of practicality. A means to an end.
- Detective William Murdoch: He winked a message at me in Morse code.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: When?
- Detective William Murdoch: As he was being taken away.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: I thought it was a twitch.
- Agent Baker: Do you trust him?
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Not bloody likely. Everything he says is a lie.
- Detective William Murdoch: N... not everything. Perhaps, most things.
- Terrence Meyers: It's the purpose of spycraft to deceive.
