Wing Commander: Prophecy (1997 Video Game)

Adam Lazarre-White: 1st Lt. Terrence 'Zero' O'Hearn

Quotes 

• Zero : [after Maniac has belittled Casey]  Congratulations. You just met and pissed off Maniac, a legend in his own mind.

  [He laughs and they shake hands] 

  Casey : How you doing, I'm Casey.

  Zero : Hey, I'm O'Hearn, they call me Zero. Since you're new here, let me show you around pilot country. You're currently in the Rec Room. Home to malcontents, drunkards and troublemakers.

  Casey : Sounds like my kind of people.

• Zero : [Discussing the Midway megacarrier]  This tub gets holed, what then? They put all their eggs into one little basket with no backup. It doesn't matter. Confed's got their greedy little fingers into everything. What's a few credits here and there?

  Dallas : Well, don't tell that to Commodore Blair. After all the Midway was his idea.

  Casey : Oh no, not Blair again. For years at the academy all we hear about is Blair this and Blair that... Saviour of the Confederation, most decorated pilot, blah blah blah... What is the guy, like, 4000 years old? God, I think I have heard just about everything...

  [Zero and Dallas have started standing to attention, Casey looks over his shoulder and sees Blair himself standing in the doorway] 

  Casey : Except that he was onboard the Midway.

  Blair : Have we met, Lieutenant?

  Casey : Casey, Lance R. Second Lieutenant. Confed number C26354.

  Blair : Casey, huh? So you're the Iceman's kid. I heard you were coming on board. You know, I flew with your father. He was a good pilot. Always followed orders. Knew when to keep his big mouth shut.

  [the CAG enters the room, Blair leaves Casey to talk to her] 

  Casey : Goodbye career.

  Zero : Don't feel so bad. I hear there's always openings in the Diplomatic Corps.

  [He and Dallas laugh] 

  Zero : Come on, let's get you a drink, put those flames out.

• Zero : What was it like?

  Casey : What was what like?

  Zero : Being the Iceman's son. You must have had a free ride straight through to the academy.

  Casey : I never had a free ride. Not to the academy, not anywhere.

  Zero : Get off it, Casey. Your old man was a great war hero.

  Casey : Yeah, he was a hero all right. One of the most decorated pilots of the Confederation, so good they named a flight maneuver after him. Only problem is, he died when I was just a kid. I think my mother got his last medal when I was in diapers. No, having a hero for a father was no help to me, if anything I spend my career trying to live up to a man I never knew. Every time I fly I feel like I'm flying against him.
