JennaMaybe IMIPAK is another Orac. If we captured it, perhaps we could breed from them.
(regarding a hypothetical betrayal by Avon)
JennaHe fixes the log, the crew dump us, pocket the profit, and set him free.
That's immoral. The cold-hearted murdering -- let's kill him now before he can do it.
No, I can't go in there, I've got a condition - a fear of enclosed spaces. There's a name for it...
JennaCowardice?
JennaHow do you feel?
Sick.
So you should. What a fiasco. You could take over the ship, you said, if I did my bit. Well, I did my bit, and what happened? Your troops bumble around looking for someone to surrender to, and when they've succeeded, you follow suit.
JennaYou wouldn't be trying to get rid of me, would you?
I have to get rid of Blake first. You're next on my list.
JennaThat would have been very disarming, if I didn't know that you meant it.
[Over communicator to Liberator] I'm down and safe. I'm somewhere inside the main complex. Is Vila ready?
Jenna[Over communicator] Hold on, just checking. [To Vila] Are you ready?
Tell him I've just worked out a completely new strategy. It's called Running away.
Jenna[Over communicator] He's ready.
They're taking too long.
That's the trouble with heroics, they seldom run to schedule.
JennaThey'll find it. There's not going to be a sign up there saying This way to the cipher room.
They may need help.
I think so too.
They would have called in.
JennaAvon's right.
I usually am.
JennaThey don't like humanoids in general and in particular, homo sapiens.
That puts their intelligence beyond doubt.
JennaHello.
Hello, hello, hello!
Ah. Jenna, this is Professor Kayn's assistant, his name is -
Renor. And I had a feeling this was going to be a good day.
JennaYes, well, don't let your feelings run away with you.
Oh, a sense of humor, too. I love girls with a sense of humor.
JennaYes, I can see where that would be an advantage. This way, please.
Do you believe in love at first sight, Jenna?
JennaNot yet.
First sign of trouble, we get out, right?
JennaGoes without saying.
I only wish it did.
JennaIt could be an injured pilot.
It could be a trap.
It's not a very good one, then. We're suspicious of it already.
The test is not whether you are suspicious but whether you are caught.
[The Crew activate Orac for the first time. He sounds like Ensor]
It's exactly as though Ensor were speaking.
Surely it is obvious even to the meanest intelligence that during my development I would naturally become endowed with aspects of my creator's personality.
The more endearing aspects by the sound of it.
Possibly. However similarities between myself and Ensor are entirely superficial. My mental capacity is infinitely greater.
JennaModest, isn't he?
Modesty would be dishonesty.
What's wrong with being dishonest?
Is that a question?
Yes.
The question is futile. Were I to say that I am incapable of dishonesty how would you know if I was being dishonest or not?
A question for a question. Well, you're capable of evasion, anyway.
I think I've heard enough, I don't like him. Orac, be a good junk heap; shut up.
How are you getting on?
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.
(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.
JennaAvon, there's something wrong in the teleport section - all the controls are activating.
Are you sure?
JennaThe locators are setting bearings. Come and see.
No! No one is to go near that section until we have Zen under control.
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.
JennaWhen what happens? What are you talking about?
If I'm right, this will show it. (Connects wires and the component Cally replaced shorts out)
It's rejecting the replacement!
It's more fundamental than that. We are the cause. It is rejecting us.
JennaPerhaps we could chew our way out.
(V.O., over P.A.) Attention all guards. Security report: slave group number seven have attacked their escort and escaped. They are to be recaptured and eliminated. Repeat: recaptured and eliminated.
(Suddenly stops pacing and spins toward window) Jenna, come here.
Jenna(Joins him) What is it?
You remember Orac's prediction?
JennaThat's the least of our problems at the moment.
I checked the star pattern behind Liberator. What Orac predicted was happening halfway across the galaxy. I made a mental note of the configuration.
JennaAnd?
You're looking at it. This is the Twelfth Sector. Astral point seven eight one. Exactly where Orac predicted we would be destroyed.
JennaWhat happened to your head?
One of the guards didn't like me.
