NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
This episode marks part two of the mini-arc that starts in �Dawning� and ends with �The Higher Cause�.
It also marks the beginning of Warren and Taylor�s relationship, something that will become a key storyline
in episodes to come. This episode introduces the officer in charge of all EVA systems and ships, Lt. Kate Hargrove.
Although she doesn�t have much to do here, Hargrove will feature more prominently in later episodes.
�Neptune� is slightly shorter than the other seaWolf episodes, only four acts long. This is mainly due to the fact
that the story had already run its course by the end of Act Three/beginning of Act Four, and that it had already begun
to drag slightly. I felt that the episode wouldn�t be improved by a fifth act, which would essentially be filler between
the end of the action and the crucial final scene, and would detract from the episode as a whole.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
�So�have you told him yet?�
�Told who what?�
�Mike. Have you told him� how you feel?�
�It�s that obvious?�
�On both sides.�
�I can�t tell him. He�s a captain, for one thing, and I�m a lieutenant.�
�So? You talked to Captain Ford or Commander Henderson recently?�
�Yeah, I know that�s almost the same thing� but��
-Stamp and Taylor, discussing her feelings for Warren.
��I don�t know. There�s something holding me back.�
�And that would be�?�
�If I do tell her�what then?�
�You mean, how would she react?�
�Well, she could laugh in my face. That would be one reaction.�
�Well, that�s a healthy attitude to have.�
-Warren and Barratt, discussing his feelings for Taylor.
�I�ve had my share of captains, and I can tell you� this guy knows what he�s doing.
He�s got the skills, the knowledge, and the command presence of the best. Hell, he�s
learned from the best: Bridger, Hudson, and Markov. Out of those four, I�d follow
Captain Warren to hell and back if he gave me the order.�
-Lieutenant Jackson, on Capt. Warren, shortly before he is killed. Hmmm�
�I know what you�re going to say, John.�
�Michael, what the hell are you doing? No, wait, WHY the hell are you doing it?�
�If you were listening before, John, you know why. I have to do this. I�d never forgive myself if I didn�t.�
-Warren and Barratt, after Warren goes off alone to rescue Taylor.
�It�s quite long, but I�ll spare you the details. I�m tending my resignation as Security Chief.�
-Taylor in the depths of despair.
�Why did you go after him?�
�Because� in my life� I have only loved three things: my mother, my ship� and you. I love you, Trish.�
�I love you too.�
-Warren and Taylor admit their feelings for each other.
