Quotes 

• Roj Blake : [Exiting the bridge]  For once just try trusting me.

  Cally : What is this priority of his?

  Kerr Avon : Exactly. He's used a number of ploys to get his own way, but, "Just try trusting me"? That's weak even by his standards.

• Cally : Blake, this is a trap.

  Roj Blake : No Cally, far from it. This is our salvation.

• Roj Blake : We've been on the run for a long time, what have we achieved? Access to federation cyphers that have been regularly re-coded. A raid on Central, an empty pretence. Talk of Star One, talk of an alliance - talk, talk, talk! Until now.

• Roj Blake : Got us back on course for Del Ten, have they?

  Vila Restal : That's right.

  [Vila moves to replace the tranquilizer pad on Blake's forehead] 

  Roj Blake : Not just yet. You know what's happening, don't you?

  Vila Restal : Happening?

  Roj Blake : Avon and Cally.

  Vila Restal : What about them?

  Roj Blake : Paired up. Mutual affinities.

  Vila Restal : You mean - ?

  Roj Blake : Oh, it's been going on for some time now. I didn't realize it had gone as far as this.

  Vila Restal : As what?

  Roj Blake : Well, why do you think they're so keen to get us to Del Ten?

  Vila Restal : The beta particles.

  Roj Blake : Who said?

  Vila Restal : Well... *you* did!

  Roj Blake : No, *Avon* said. I didn't want to resist him, block him or it. Would arouse his suspicion. I needed time to form a counter plan.

  Vila Restal : What are you saying?

  Roj Blake : Our only hope is this asteroid. Correction, our nearest hope.

• Vila Restal : But you're suggesting...

  Roj Blake : Oh, betrayal, treachery, piracy, call it what you will: that is what Avon and Cally are up to.

  Vila Restal : And Jenna?

  Roj Blake : No, not Jenna. I think she was probably duped by the other two.

  Vila Restal : How?

  Roj Blake : Space fatigue, is that what they're saying?

  Vila Restal : Yeah.

  Roj Blake : Well, It's obvious, isn't it? They gave me some form of drug, and then put on a show for you and her.

  Vila Restal : [considering]  Wow, Avon has been excluding me a bit lately.

  Roj Blake : It's nothing to what he'll do when they get to Del Ten.

  Vila Restal : What?

  Roj Blake : He *might* allow you to stay on afterwards. He'd be stupid to reduce his manpower more than absolutely necessary.

  Vila Restal : Well, what do we do?

  Roj Blake : The first thing to do is to resume course for that asteroid.

  Vila Restal : Right.

  Roj Blake : [indicating his restraints]  One more thing, Vila.

  Vila Restal : Oh yes, sorry.

  [Vila releases Blake] 

  Roj Blake : Thank you. Asteroid PK, One, One, Eight.

  Vila Restal : Right.

  Vila Restal : [Moves in front of Zen]  Zen, abort course for Del Ten. Resume course for asteroid PK One One Eight. Confirm with arrival time.

  Zen : Arrival asteroid PK One One Eight at nineteen zero eight.

  Vila Restal : Just over half an hour.

  Vila Restal : [turns around]  Blake?

  [Blake is gone] 

• Jenna Stannis : The power's changed...

  Cally : Meteorite storm.

  Kerr Avon : I'll go and check.

  [Blakes closes the door, locking Avon and the others in the suite] 

  Kerr Avon : Blake.. Blake!

  Vila Restal : Blake, what are you up to?

  Kerr Avon : [over the intercom]  Blake, Blake!

  Roj Blake : There's no other way Vila.

  Kerr Avon : Blake, open the door!

  Roj Blake : That's his plan, and he will stop at *nothing* to see it through.

  Kerr Avon : Blake, OPEN THE DOOR. Vila, stop him! BLAKE!
