Blakes 71978

Avon:
What's a freighter doing this far out? He's in Zone Eight already. Where the hell is he going?

Blake:
Zen, plot of the freighter's course?

Zen:
Freighter's course is one oh four grid.

Blake:
[surprised] That'll take him into Zone Nine.

Avon:
[ironically] So, we are free of the Federation.

Blake:
Persistent, aren't they?

Avon:
Let's just get out of his way.

Blake:
It was you that asked the question. Where are they going? We're hiding, already on the edge of the spiral rim. He's going further out.

Blake:
[after a moment's pause] Zen, give us a course and speed where we can observe out of range of the freighter's detectors.

Avon:
I'm sorry I mentioned it.

Vila:
Aren't we all?
