Cally quotes from Blake's 7

Cally

[to Blake, after he has disarmed her] May you die alone. And silent.

Cally

Out!

Vila

No need for belligerence, pretty lady! I'm harmless!

Vila

Quick, isn't she?

Cally

Is he one of your crew?

One of them.

[offscreen] And he's useless, as he said!

I've had a gun on you the whole time. You were dead as soon as you broke cover.

Vila

"Harmless" was the word I used.

And you couldn't even get that right!

Cally

They're taking too long.

That's the trouble with heroics, they seldom run to schedule.

Jenna

They'll find it. There's not going to be a sign up there saying This way to the cipher room.

They may need help.

Cally

I think so too.

They would have called in.

Jenna

Avon's right.

I usually am.

Cally

Blake will return...

You can bet your life on it. In fact, you've just bet both our lives on it.

Cally

My people have a saying: A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.

Life expectancy must be fairly short among your people.

You're quite sure about volunteering to stay?

Cally

Well, we must help these people.

Must we? Personally I don't care if their whole planet turns into a mushroom. I shall stay because I don't like an unsolved mystery.

Cally

I thought you mistrusted instinct?

I do. So I am probably wrong.

Vila

Have you thought of another plan?

Yes. I'm going to get some sleep.

Vila

How can you sleep with all this happening?

With all what happening? Blake is sitting up in a tree, Travis is sitting up in another tree. Unless they're planning to throw nuts at one another, I don't see much of a fight developing before it gets light.

You're never involved, are you Avon? You ever cared for anyone?

Vila

Except yourself?

I have never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care, or, indeed, why it should be necessary to prove it at all. [Exits]

Vila

Was that an insult or did I miss something?

Cally

You missed something.

Cally

Did she really think you were a god?

For a while.

How did it feel?

Don't you know?

Yes. I don't like the responsibility either.

Strip down the auto-navigator, remove the damaged components, and list them for replacement.

Cally

This is going to take time. It could have been worse.

It should have been worse.

Cally

What do you mean?

Something Blake said. Those ships should have been able to knock us out completely. Why didn't they?

Cally

There could be many reasons.

I have considered all of them. Only one is satisfactory.

Cally

And which is that?

They didn't want to destroy us.

Cally

But it was a full-scale attack!

Was it? Their first attack knocked out our weaponry system. The second run knocked out virtually every instrument system. Right now Liberator is out of control. At least, out of our control.

Cally

You think all this was intentional, and we're not running on a random course?

Oh, I think we're going somewhere...quite particular.

How are you getting on?

Cally

I've finished fitting the auto-navigator. And now there is just this detector unit that is burnt out.

You'll find a replacement in the auto-repair cavity.

Cally

(Replacing a component) Good. That's all completed.

(Tries to turn Zen on with no luck, Zen just burbles) That's strange. (Tries again) Thought so. Zen is functioning, the computers are working, but not for us.

Jenna

Avon, there's something wrong in the teleport section - all the controls are activating.

Are you sure?

Jenna

The locators are setting bearings. Come and see.

No! No one is to go near that section until we have Zen under control.

Cally

Why?

I think I know what's happening now. The teleport section will be the most dangerous area on the ship. When it happens, that is where it will start.

Jenna

When what happens? What are you talking about?

If I'm right, this will show it. (Connects wires and the component Cally replaced shorts out)

Cally

It's rejecting the replacement!

It's more fundamental than that. We are the cause. It is rejecting us.

Vila

Stop worrying, Cally, I'll be back soon. Tell you what, I'll bring you back a present! What would you like, Cally? Name it, and it's yours...

Cally

A necklace, Vila. Made from your teeth.

Cally

Sooner or later, Blake is going to attack Federation Central Control on Earth itself.

Vila

Later. Much later.

And alone, probably.

Jenna

I doubt that.

He wouldn't be alone if you just left him, Avon.

You would stay with him?

Yes.

Cally

You're not going to follow the freighter all the way to Horizon?

Why not? I'm curious.

Oh, you are curious. Well, I'm glad we have a worthwhile purpose.

Doesn't it interest you a little?

No! There's nothing out there - we are on the edge. Even Zen has nothing on it. That could mean anything - an experimental warzone - anything.

That freighter's gone to Horizon for some good reason.

Which is more than you can say for us.

[Via Communicator] Liberator, we're at the rendezvous point, everything's all right.

You have made contact with Kasabi?

Not yet. Not directly.

Then everything is not 'all right.'

It will be, I'll get back to you.

[To Vila] Do you get the feeling there's something he's not telling us?

Jenna

I dunno. I hate waiting like this.

Vila

It could be worse; we could be down there with them.

Cally

I'd prefer that to being here.

Vila

You're welcome to take my place when the time comes.

If it comes.

Cally

What do you mean?

Something's not right.

Vila

He's failed to make contact with Kasabi.

Exactly. But Kasabi's signal came from the rendezvous point. Blake has arrived there and failed to make contact.

Jenna

That doesn't necessarily mean anything disastrous. Perhaps they're just being extra careful

Let's hope so. Because I have a feeling that we are not being careful enough.
