Who betrayed us?

MUTOID: Stay where you are. [Travis moves forwards]

TRAVIS: Which of you is Avalon? [He holds a nearby man and places his gun to the man's head.] I want Avalon -- now. [A figure moves forward. Another puts out a hand to stop her, but she continues forwards. Travis hits the man he was threatening, knocking him over.]

AVALON: Who betrayed us?

TRAVIS: [To mutoids] Take her.

MUTOID: [Indicating homing beacon] Shall I smash it?

TRAVIS: No. Give Blake his homing beacon -- make it easier for him. Finish it.

TERLOC: No, no, please wait. It's me, Terloc, I helped you. I gave you Avalon. I gave you Avalon. [The mutoid pushes him over with her foot] Ughh. Uh, ah. They're going to kill us. [Mutoids systematically shoot everyone amid lots of screams and shouts, then leave.]

I'm sorry you've waited so long

VOICE: Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. We have lift-off.

[The rocket lifts off.]

AVON: Meegat, I'm sorry you've waited so long.

MEEGAT: Our waiting brought you.

AVON: That seems like a poor reward, somehow.

[The rocket is climbing through space.]

[Liberator flight deck. The whole crew is present.]

ZEN: The rocket is now beyond sensor range.

AVON: Have the navigation computers made a projection?

ZEN: It is calculated that the rocket will make planet-fall in the system Magdalen Alpha.

AVON: How many suitable planets are there in that system?

ZEN: There are four with compatible biospheres.

AVON: Flight time?

ZEN: Five hundred earth years.

VILA: You won't be a legend in your own lifetime, then.

GAN: Fertility cells wouldn't know about us, anyway.

CALLY: Meegat does. [To Avon] Did she really think you were a god?

AVON: For a while.

BLAKE: How did it feel?

AVON: Don't you know?

BLAKE: Yes. I don't like the responsibility, either.

Nucleoplasmic absorption

TARRANT: Yes, well. So much about us. What about you? You built all this?

ULTRA 1: Not quite.

DAYNA: Then how?

ULTRA 2: It built itself. We are merely the custodians.

ULTRA 1: You were not strictly correct in calling Ultraworld a computer. Ultraworld is much more than that. It possesses consciousness, self-awareness.

DAYNA: You mean it's alive?

ULTRA 3: By any meaningful definition of the word, yes.

TARRANT: (rises) We're wasting time.

AVON: Wait a minute. Germanium circuitry is clever stuff, but to the best of my knowledge it cannot think for itself nor can it reproduce its own structure.

ULTRA 1: You have an astute mind, Avon.

AVON: If you say so.

ULTRA 2: There is another process involved. Nucleoplasmic absorption.

TARRANT: Oh, well that's a relief. I thought it might be something complicated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Ode to Ensor (Pt 1)

SHADES OF LIGHT (Ode to Ensor)
Our lives exist between the dark and the light,
Mother Nature can be kind, but she has a nasty bite.

And just when you think that you're doing okay,
You can be sure that trouble is not far away.

For Ensor this lesson came early in life,
For though brilliant of mind, his heart met with strife.

And while he was a man of creative endeavours,
The Federation would use them to further its treasures.

What became of his wife, he never did say,
But it all became so much that he had to run away.

So with son in tow, he made to Aristo,
A place that no-one had long called their home.

With rising seas of acid, and phibians not placid,
The last civilisation had long since been scattered.

But for Ensor it was perfect, a quiet retreat,
And among the ruins his escape was complete.

Left alone to work, his mind was free,
It ticked over and over with creativity.

Necessity is the mother of most invention,
And on Aristo there is no Federation pension.

So, it started with one hack of a Federation computer,
It was so easy when he turned his Tarriel cell to looter.

And so an idea was born to build a super computer,
That could read every cell in every computer.

Did I say computer? Pardon me, I forgot,
A computer it most certainly is not.

It's a brain, a genius, a probability ruminator,
With a personality befitting its acerbic maker.

Progress was slow, with no resources to hoe,
Patience is a virtue when you're working alone.

But as the days turned to years, Orac was born,
And Ensor's powers heralded a new dawn.

But beneath the bright light of Orac's glow,
Mother Nature was building a strong undertow.

For though Ensor knew his new heart would expire,
It still came as a surprise when he began to tire.

At first he fought the tiredness with all of his might,
But as the days wore on he became resigned to his plight.

And as the man of brilliance began to fade,
He found amusement in other new ways.

"Hello, my little ones" he would say to his fish,
And in the next breath keel over with pain and wince.

But though Ensor was resigned to quietly pass out his days,
His son was determined to find other ways.

So to the cabinet of drugs his son took recourse,
Only to find that they made Ensor worse.

And when Ensor declared "Enough filthy drugs, let me go in peace!"
His son turned his mind to make the woe cease.

"Sell Orac?" roared Ensor "Over my dead body!"
But as the irony echoed, it made sense oddly.

"We will never be free of the Federation!", his son did plea,
"We have to make our bed in this den of thieves".

And so to the Federation his son would go,
To do a deal with the devil, his head hung low.

Where the hell is Cancer?

SOOLIN: He's dead, I take it?
AVON: Oh he's dead all right. Question is, how did he die?
SOOLIN: I should imagine friend Cancer would be a master of unarmed combat. Few seconds pressure at a vital point.
AVON: Possibly. What do you make of this?
SOOLIN: What?
AVON: A red patch on his hand. Hardly a vital point.
SOOLIN: What does it matter how the poor old man died? The question is "where the hell is Cancer?"
