Nova	Drax's really been flapping his lip, hasn't he?
Quasar	So...?
Nova	He thinks he's my mentor, you realize?
Quasar	Did you ask him to be your mentor?
Nova	I may have mentioned something.
Quasar	You watch yourself. He's bad news. Six months' time, I don't want to have to come after you because he's turned you into "Evil Nova".
Nova	"Anti-Nova", surely?
Quasar	Or "Dark Nova". "Dark Nova" is the union preferred form. So, about this stargate.
