Cally quotes from Blake's 7

Looks like the Federation have developed a shield themselves.

Cally

Yes, well, they got very, very close before we saw them.

That is the most depressing aspect of the whole affair. I was rather hoping to sell them the idea.

Jenna

Where are you going?

Cally

I'm going to clear the neutron blasters for firing.

Jenna

Well, what are you going to fire at?

Cally

Anything that moves.

For once just try trusting me. [Leaves]

Cally

What is this priority of his?

Exactly. He's used a number of ploys to get his own way, but "Just try trusting me"? That's weak even by his standards

Cally

So what is wrong?

You deduced it yourself earlier. Space Command has long tried to perfect a course interceptor attuned to the circuitry of navigational computers and rational coordinators like Zen. The scientists on Auron, however, had the wit to aim for the weaker point.

The human brain.

Correct.

Cally

A telepathic order was beamed to Blake to force him reroute to that asteroid?

As you, yourself, foresaw.

So tell us something new.

It is to Blake that you should look for the new.

What's that supposed to mean? That they are still influencing him?

Correct again.

But how? A device of that kind would need an enormous power source.

Agreed. But now that they...

[Interrupting] Now that they are close at hand, low power; of course.

Cally

What do we do?

Locate and destroy it.

And restore Blake to his senses.

The two don't necessarily follow.

I meant what I said on Goth, Avon. We are not going to use Star One to rule the Federation, we are going to destroy it.

I never doubted that. I never doubted your fanaticism. As far as I'm concerned you can destroy whatever you like. You can stir up a thousand revolutions. You can wade in blood up to your armpits. Oh, and you can lead the rabble to victory -- whatever that may mean. Just so long as there's an end to it. When Star One is gone, it is finished, Blake. And I want it finished! I want it over and done with, I want to be free!

Cally

But you are free now, Avon.

[Bitterly, while glaring at Blake] I want to be free of him!

It all seems quiet enough, Cally, if you don't count the volcano. I should let Orac take over. I think it's going to be some time before we find these friends of Dayna's.

Cally

All right, but keep in touch. Heroic rescues can be embarrassing if you're not actually in danger.

Cally

And what about Dayna? Don't you trust her either?

Vila

Dayna's a… different case entirely.

Cally

Well, she's pretty, for one thing.

Vila

Pretty? Yes, I suppose she is. I hadn't really noticed.

We've seen you not really noticing. Frequently.

Vila

Communications blindspot… or maybe he landed in the volcano.

Cally

No, I think he's all right.

Vila

Yes, of course he's all right. There isn't a volcano alive that would dare to swallow Avon.

Cally

Vila, be quiet.

Vila

He's cold enough to put out the fire, anyway.

I appealed to his better nature.

He hasn't got one. Leave him alone in future.

Or?

Do you want me to threaten you?

Why not. I haven't had a good laugh in ages.

Sensible. You could die laughing.

Cally

Why are you suddenly so protective towards Vila?

He's irritating, but he's useful. We can easily replace a pilot, but a talented thief is rare.

I'd agree with that. So?

So frighten him too much, he's no use to anyone.

I'll take that risk.

Cally

It isn't yours to take.

[Pointing his gun at Bayban] Bloodthirsty little maniac aren't you? Where's Vila?

Bayban

I don't know what you're talking about.

Hello, Bayban. I heard a rumour you were dead. Funny that, seems to be true.

Bayban

Do I know you?

That's the trouble with celebrities. They never remember the little people.

Where is Vila?!

Bayban

Who?

How would you like me to let some fresh air into that rancid little brain of yours?

Bayban

Go ahead, you'll be famous, "The man who killed Bayban."

Cally

[Pointing her gun at Bayban] I'd quite like to be famous too. How about "The woman that killed Bayban"?

Dayna

[Pointing her gun at Bayban] Or better still, "The girl who killed Bayban"?

Cally

Vila, we thought we'd lost you!

…but every silver lining has a cloud.

Vila

I'd say you'd got that wrong, except I know you didn't.

Cally

Why Earth?

Why not?

Vila

The Himalayas are quite tall at this time of year.

Vila

And the Aurons punished you for your defiance, didn't they?

Were you exiled?

Cally

Yes. Why d'you imagine I've never gone back? (Looking at Avon) Affection for him?
