Oblivion Quotes

Malcolm Beech I'd been in the army less than a year when that unholy Tet arrived. Saw the Moon get taken out, right up there in the night sky. Couldn't believe it. After that, nature took over.. there's bedrock around Chicago so we were spared the worst of the waves, quakes. Most people just starved. Then the Tet sent troop ships down. The doors opened and out you came: astronaut Jack Harper, thousands of you. Memory wiped. Programed to kill. It had taken one of our best and turned him against us. No soul, no humanity. The Tet... what a brilliant machine. Feeding off of one planet after another for energy. Phase two was drones, repairmen. Fifty years of watching those hydrorigs suck our planet dry. Then one day, I saw you set down, another drone to fix. But in the rubble that day was a book. You picked it up, you studied it. And I... thought I saw a way. When you stepped in front of that drone, saved her I knew: you were in there, somewhere, I just had to find a way to bring you back.

Jack Harper If we have souls, they are made of the love we share... undimmed by time and unbound by death.
