Blakes 71978

Blake:
His name is Tarrant.

Blake:
[to Tarrant] Your flight computer mentioned it whilst you were unconscious.

Deva:
Tarrant...

Blake:
No, I wouldn't run it through the computer just yet, Deva. You see, this one has a very high Federation price on his head.

Deva:
Are you sure?

Tarrant:
Oh, give the man credit for knowing his trade, dirty though it is.

Blake:
He also has several associates with Federation prices, and one of them is particularly valuable.

Tarrant:
And all of them are particularly dead.

Blake:
In which case, that other flier was merely a coincidence. A coincidence, however, that might just have analyzed a random flight program?

Deva:
And the significance of that is...?

Blake:
A very useful device called Orac. Why don't you sit down, Tarrant? If it is Avon, we shouldn't have much longer to wait.

Deva:
[repeating back to Tarrant] "Give the man credit for knowing his trade."
