"Nobody left anybody on Venus. She went missing, we thought she was dead, were we just meant to stay up there looking? It's easy to say we should have in hindsight, obviously if we could do it again we'd track her down, but at the time? For all we knew there was nothing to find."

"Anyway, to answer your question, the Venusian legion had been escalating their attacks, so we took the fight to them. And you'll notice, the city no longer gets attacked by aliens. I'd like to see the Musical Guardians get results like that."
