Hector: Reggie! Merry Christmas. Reggie? Samantha! Hi.
White: Hi.
Hector: Did you happen to see two girls running around here? One is a cheerleader.
White: I'm not thinking straight. I wrote everything down, but I think I misspelled it. That pad on the table. You need this?
Hector: No, thanks. I have one.
White: It seems to be the perfect Christmas gift this year. I'm going to miss Christmas. Permanently. I want you to know that I thought they were talking hypothetically, until they found the first survivors. Then they really did it. Some of those survivors were just kids.
Hector: Hey, wait a minute. What's all this about... blood?

It must have been something similar to when I saved those people from being run over by that speeding car a few years back. That must have been 2002. I was a volunteer at the Danskin triathlon. I puzzled over that for a long time. I just couldn't put my finger on something about that. My mind had been blank but yet I acted with such split-second decisiveness to keep them from getting splattered by that car.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brevet_(military)
Brevet (military)
In many of the world's military establishments, brevet referred to a warrant authorizing a commissioned officer to hold a higher rank temporarily
Although brevetting as such was no longer in effect in the 20th century U.S. military, it was common during the First and Second World Wars for officers in the Regular Army (the peacetime, permanent standing army composed of career soldiers) to be given temporary promotion to higher ranks in the wartime National Army or Army of the United States composed primarily of volunteers and draftees. For instance, Dwight D. Eisenhower had the permanent rank of Captain but the effective rank of Lieutenant Colonel during the First World War. At war's end, the National Army was disbanded and he reverted to his permanent rank of Captain. Such quasi-brevet promotions may become permanent: during the Second World War Eisenhower had the permanent rank of Brigadier General but served as General of the Army; at war's end, this promotion was confirmed in the Regular Army.

Pathfinder (military)
A pathfinder is a paratrooper who is inserted or dropped into place in order to set up and operate drop zones, pickup zones, and helicopter landing sites for airborne operations, air resupply operations, or other air operations in support of the ground unit commander. Pathfinders use a wide array of skills including air traffic control, ground-to-air communications, sling load operations and inspections, and drop zone and helicopter landing zone support in order to ensure the mission is a success.
History (American)
During World War II, the pathfinders were a group of volunteers selected within the Airborne units who were specially trained to operate navigation aids to guide the main airborne body to the drop zones. The pathfinder teams (sticks) were made up of a group of eight to twelve pathfinders and a group of six bodyguards whose job was to defend the pathfinders while they set up their equipment. The pathfinder teams dropped approximately thirty minutes before the main body in order to locate designated drop zones and provide radio and visual guides for the main force in order to improve the accuracy of the jump.

The dialog by the medic is curious because she seems to be willing to die but she is willing to die, it seems, only if everyone else dies. I found myself wondering why she did not just volunteer herself to close the door and to die in the process.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 10/09/09 5:43 PM
It makes think of how a lot of people, and too many people, are too eager to let other people die for them or how too many people are too eager to kill other people and to kill people for hardly any reason.

the medic tells "Colonel Young" that he would need an MRI and a qualified doctor to read it in the dialog about his head wound and the paralysis in his legs and that reminds me of the doctor at the VA talking to me about the results from the catscan when I was inpatient at the VA. I later mentioned what I thought was something wrong with the top of my skull to the psychiatrist or psychologist or whatever he was and he seemed to look it over but he never gave me any useful information about it.

Please respond.

If we fire tachyon bursts,
he'll have to reset his shields.
:17:17
- Then we can beam him out.
- Make it so.
:17:26
- Direct hit. His shields are down.
- Beam him out.
:17:34
- He's using a transport inhibitor.
- Prepare to enter the atmosphere.
:17:39
That will shake him.
:17:48
- Scanners are off-line.
- Start evasive manoeuvres.

He can fly a ship and anticipate our
tactics. His brain is functioning.

We know how he responds to threats.
I wonder how he would respond ...
