LIBRETTI: I... Sir, I don't know how this secret won't tear the U.N.S. apart.
BALA-AMIN: *over comm* Just tell me what you learned.
SORLIE: General, revealing it to you now would violate the terms of your agreement with Tangent Andreyasn.
BALA-AMIN: That agreement was not legally binding, and Tangent Andreyasn is not part of your command chain.
In that light, I shall rephrase my request for clarity.
BALA-AMIN: Lieutenant Sorlie, report.
Leave nothing out.
That is an order.
SORLIE: General Bala-Amin, sir, I acknowledge that the order you are giving me is legal, and within the scope of my commission. I refuse to obey it.
I am now en route to the Judge Advocate General's office. Once there I will turn myself in and await court martial.
MURTAUGH: Can I offer you a ride?
SORLIE: I'll walk. I need more time to luxuriate in this yawning abyss of regret.
