The line itself if fine.The lines you stated could have easily been made not as shitty by their delivery as well. I bet if Miranda had ripped an assault rifle out of some marine's hands and loaded it up while she delivered "To war" in a more convincing tone, it'd have been just fine.

How long do you reckon it took Truth's ship to breach atmosphere?Looks like it exited slipspace just beyond the moon, so Chief was fucking around on that ship for a few hours? Days?
