Gordon's not a big Shakespeare man, himself. Matter of fact, the last time he had anything especially poetic or derived from the Classics to say during combat, he kept it to himself. Nobody needed to hear about the Charge of the Light Brigade during the battle of City 17.

There are small-c classics, though. He can't quite help but smile behind his helmet's clear faceplate as he murmurs, "'Survival is the ability to swim in strange water.'"

He doesn't say anything else. He just sets out to swim.
