The System is infallible

ALTA 1: We will commence. State the circumstance by which you came to be aboard Deep Space Vehicle II.

BLAKE: We call it the Liberator. It was found abandoned and drifting in space. I was part of a crew that was put on board.

ALTA 1: State the astral location in which you found DSV II.

BLAKE: I don't know it. My nearest point of reference is a Federation prison planet called Cygnus Alpha.

ALTA 1: State any further information you have regarding DSV II.

BLAKE: We assume it had been in a space battle.

ALTA 1: State any further information you have regarding ... regarding ... regarding ...

ALTA 2: [At dome, it gargles] Circuitry disturbances are continuing. An outside influence has been analyzed.

ALTA 1: We will resume the questioning when the disturbance has been rectified. [Rises and walks towards the door]

BLAKE: It's nice to know that computers can have their bad days, too.

ALTA 1: The System is infallible. [Exits]

BLAKE: [Under his breath] Orac!

All the weapons we can get

GAN: Why that base, Cally?

CALLY: Sooner or later, Blake is going to attack Federation Central Control on Earth itself.

VILA: Later. Much later.

AVON: And alone, probably.

JENNA: I doubt that.

GAN: He wouldn't be alone if you just left him, Avon.

AVON: You would stay with him?

GAN: Yes.

AVON: [Smiles] Virtually alone, then.

CALLY: And for that attack we shall need all the weapons we can get.

BLAKE: [Enters] And where better to get them than the Weapons Development Base?

AVON: According to Orac, almost anywhere.

No, I am not alone

CALLY: [telepaths] Hello [Sits up mentally, while her physical body remains in the gully. Smiles and picks up moon disc]

ORAC: You cannot stop me, child of Auron.

CALLY: Then why do you threaten me?

ORAC: Orac is my bridge. You stand before it, puny telepath.

CALLY: Yes, I know you now. My powers are in your dimension, and Orac's carrier waves are your bridge.

ORAC: The energy is building. I am ready to cross. Hungry dark to absorb the blazing suns.

CALLY: I will deny you.

ORAC: You are alone.

CALLY: No. The warmth you mock me with is here. [holds out moon disk] I am not alone. You will stay in your universe of darkness.

ORAC: You will not disconnect. You will not dis... [Cally's hand pulls Orac's key and it appears in Cally's hand on Zondar. She sits up, spilling moon discs that have clustered around her.]

She ran straight over me

HANNA: No, she didn't hit me, she ran straight over me. I was just in the way. I never saw anyone so scared.

VILA: You couldn't tell why?

GAN: You couldn't see what was driving her?

HANNA: I don't think I'd want to. You can't share someone's madness.

GAN: They can on Auron. Cally told me her people can share any experience. And telepathy means they never have to be alone. Makes them very strong.

BEK: Well, when they're together. I mean, what happens when one's isolated?

GAN: I think that's what we're finding out.

The System has questions

[Blake is marched through hallway. A gang of slaves carrying a heavy pipe section stagger, the rear slave falls and is punished by a guard. Blake runs over to stop the guard and helps the slave up. The guard moves to hit Blake]

ALTA 2: Stop! ... March on.

[Control room. Alta 2 enters and she and Alta 1 touch the silver dots on their foreheads. The pedestal dome beeps, Alta 2 places her hands on it, and it gargles. Blake is pushed into the room and Alta 1 motions him to a chair across from hers]

ALTA 2: Acknowledged. [To Alta 1] There is disturbance on the control program.

ALTA 1: Until stable, all commands must be checked and confirmed.

ALTA 2: Acknowledged.

ALTA 1: [To Blake] The System has questions to put to you.

BLAKE: I'd like to ask one or two myself.

ALTA 1: That is not permitted.

BLAKE: For instance, what is the System?

ALTA 1: The System is the supreme power of Spaceworld and the three life-supporting planets which orbit our sun. The System is a complex of infallible machines.

BLAKE: All of this? You mean even you are computer controlled?

ALTA 1: We serve the System. Its questions and orders are routed through me, but the words and thoughts are those of the System. Is that understood?

BLAKE: I demand your assurance that the rest of my crew remain unharmed.

ALTA 1: [To guard] Force level seven. [Guard puts prod against Blake's neck]

BLAKE: All right! Understood.

ALTA 1: We will commence. [Places hand on smaller dome next to her chair and speaks in a mechanical voice] State the circumstance by which you came to be aboard Deep Space Vehicle II.

BLAKE We call it the Liberator...
