DylanUntil Rommie and Trance figure out how these bio-weapons spread, I want you out of harm's way.
All right, I know that used to be my favourite place, but…
DylanNo "buts", go!
Yes, sir. Bravely running away, sir.
[hologram] Dylan, I'm not reading any pulses or brainwaves from the corpses of the plague victims, and their bodies register at room temperature.
Well, that would make sense – they're corpses.
[on-screen] Yes. The trouble is, they're walking around the ship trying to kill you!
[to Dylan] You're surprised? That's what you get for incessantly trying to help!
DylanThe ungrateful dead!
DylanTrance, are you dead or alive?
Yes.
DylanCrystal clear, as usual.
DylanThe Engine of Creation is a myth. It's like the Holy Grail of ancient Earth, or the Wyvern's Hoards of Gehenna Mortis.
Or a restored Commonwealth.
Dylan[laughs, insincerely] That's not funny.
He never came back.
DylanBut you have a different plan?
My plan is to come back.
DylanThat's a good plan.
DylanThey're not butchers, just very strange lovers.
Yeah, he's totally controlling, and she's this sexy, shoot-from-the-hip kinda gal. What could they possibly have in common?
DylanWell, Harper always says that opposites attract.
That's just his excuse to meet women. Everyone's the opposite of Harper.
DylanHow long has the Vedran been here?
Since the fall.
The Fall of the Commonwealth?
Since the autumn, nine months ago.
DylanHow do we get people to stop believing in a myth they've believed in for centuries?
By getting them to believe in that other myth.
DylanWhat's that?
The one about the High Guard captain flying around the universe, making allies, restoring the Commonwealth.
DylanOh, I don't think they'll ever believe in that one.
DylanAnyone can have their cake, and then eat it. The real trick is eating your cake, and still having it. It's a common mistake.
We did. You could even say we had our cake outside of the box and ate it too.
Are we still outside the box?
DylanTrance, we're so far outside the box, we can't even see the box.
DylanI can't take the risk that you'll fall apart under pressure.
That would be a mistake. This fellow has already taken it upon himself to perform a dangerous task – not because he was commanded, but because it needed to be done. And, in the end, that's the only test that matters – the test of will… You're a machine. I can't believe I just said that.
DylanSo, if the Genite attacks are fake, then Tyr is working with the Drago-Kazovs? Nah, I don't buy it.
But you buy the "warm and fuzzy" Tyr, concerned for his fellow Nietzscheans?
DylanNo, I didn't say that.
In a fair fight with them, we'd be fried.
DylanWell, then, we'll have to make sure we don't fight fair.
DylanThere's only one way to fight a superior opponent.
Well, that I wouldn't know – I've never fought a superior opponent.
It's an invitation. Whatever it is it wants to play, to fight, or make love with us.
DylanRSVP.
