Blakes 71978

Vila Restal:
But you're suggesting...

Roj Blake:
Oh, betrayal, treachery, piracy, call it what you will: that is what Avon and Cally are up to.

Vila Restal:
And Jenna?

Roj Blake:
No, not Jenna. I think she was probably duped by the other two.

Vila Restal:
How?

Roj Blake:
Space fatigue, is that what they're saying?

Vila Restal:
Yeah.

Roj Blake:
Well, It's obvious, isn't it? They gave me some form of drug, and then put on a show for you and her.

Vila Restal:
[considering] Wow, Avon has been excluding me a bit lately.

Roj Blake:
It's nothing to what he'll do when they get to Del Ten.

Vila Restal:
What?

Roj Blake:
He *might* allow you to stay on afterwards. He'd be stupid to reduce his manpower more than absolutely necessary.

Vila Restal:
Well, what do we do?

Roj Blake:
The first thing to do is to resume course for that asteroid.

Vila Restal:
Right.

Roj Blake:
[indicating his restraints] One more thing, Vila.

Vila Restal:
Oh yes, sorry.

[Vila releases Blake]

Roj Blake:
Thank you. Asteroid PK, One, One, Eight.

Vila Restal:
Right.

Vila Restal:
[Moves in front of Zen] Zen, abort course for Del Ten. Resume course for asteroid PK One One Eight. Confirm with arrival time.

Zen:
Arrival asteroid PK One One Eight at nineteen zero eight.

Vila Restal:
Just over half an hour.

Vila Restal:
[turns around] Blake?

[Blake is gone]
