Blakes 71978

Roj Blake:
Where are we?

Vila Restal:
In a transit cell.

Roj Blake:
I don't understand.

Vila Restal:
You're on your way to the penal colony on Cygnus Alpha. Or you will be when the prison ship's refueled. Try to look on the bright side. It must have something. None of the guests have ever left early. In fact, none of them have ever left at all.

Roj Blake:
Why are you going there?

Vila Restal:
They didn't give me a choice. I steal things. Compulsive, I'm afraid. I've had my head adjusted by some of the best in the business. But it just won't stay adjusted.

Roj Blake:
A professional thief.

Vila Restal:
More a vocation than a profession. Other people's property comes naturally to me.

[Jenna sits down next to them]

Jenna Stannis:
[to Blake] What's the time?

Vila Restal:
[returning Blake's watch] Just taking care of it while you were unconscious. The place is full of criminals.
