Tyr(about the Than and Chichin in negotiations) Would you like me to kill them for you?
(weary) Yes. (Tyr moves toward the door) Wait I'm just kidding. I've got a better idea, next time I offer to broker peace talks between a Chichin gangster and a Than warlord, just kill me.
TyrAlright.
Kidding. Again.
TyrAm I mistaken, sir, or did you just grant complete strangers unlimited access to this ship?
Why, yes, I did. That way, we can monitor them closely and see what they do with it. There's something not quite trustworthy about them, don't you think?
TyrYour occasional bouts of deviousness never fail to surprise me, Captain.
[an alien has been shot up by the entire bar]
Damn.
Got that right.
No, I wanted to use him.
TyrWell, as he is he would make an interesting conversation piece.
TyrYou're right. This might have been easier had we been able to follow your plan.
Damn! That was almost an apology!
TyrIt was nothing of the sort.
TyrWhat would you like, Jaguar?
The usual: Hundreds of grandchildren, utter domination of known space, and the pleasure of hearing that all my enemies have died in terrible, highly improbable accidents that cannot be connected to me. And you?
Tyr[laughing] The usual.
This is Captain Dylan Hunt of the Andromeda Ascendant.
[gunfire]
TyrApparently, they've heard of you.
[hologram] Dylan, I'm not reading any pulses or brainwaves from the corpses of the plague victims, and their bodies register at room temperature.
TyrWell, that would make sense – they're corpses.
[on-screen] Yes. The trouble is, they're walking around the ship trying to kill you!
Tyr[to Dylan] You're surprised? That's what you get for incessantly trying to help!
The ungrateful dead!
She can't tell you.
Why? Why can't I tell him?
Because if you tell him, Tyr will die.
TyrThen, by all means, leave me in suspense.
TyrThe AIs are machines – they should do as they're told, or be discarded as defective.
They're not machines, Tyr, they're sentient beings, soldiers.
TyrThen perhaps Milla has a point. Perhaps the Commonwealth did treat their AIs as slaves. But you would know better than I.
I can't take the risk that you'll fall apart under pressure.
TyrThat 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.
The Commonwealth is still hailing us, and they're mad. They say this is the last warning.
TyrThat's what they said five "last warnings" ago.
They're waiting for authorization. God bless bureaucracy!
You know, if you weren't so intensely self-absorbed, you'd realize that all of life is a balance between the emptiness of eternity and the need to make art to remind ourselves we were here.
TyrI had an epiphany like that once. Then I mercilessly beat someone until it went away.
We're going to be walking into an ambush.
TyrThat's why I always assume I'm walking into an ambush – prevents unpleasant surprises.
You owe me a death!
TyrSuppose I let you live, and we call it even?
Who are you?
TyrVery possibly the last face you'll ever see in life. Now tell me who sabotaged that ship.
