Zen quotes from Blake's 7

Damage control estimates that breakdown is now beyond the capacity of auto-repair systems in all areas. Serious malfunction in life-support would indicate that evacuation by life capsule is a priority one requirement.

Wisdom must be gathered, it cannot be given.

Don't philosophise at me, you electronic moron!

Seven of us can run this ship properly.

Vila

Six, surely.

You forgot Zen.

You're not counting that machine as a member of the crew.

Oh, what do you say to that, Zen?

Please state course and speed.

Very diplomatic. Set a course for Centero, speed standard by two.

Confirmed.

Vila

I don't want data, I want to know what's happening.

It will be necessary for you to make a personal investigation.

Vila

Oh, you're a big help. Personal investigation... Personal investigation... The next time Avon wants to make a personal investigation on how you work I shall make a personal point of handing him the instruments. Personally.

Have you found what you want?

No.

That's because you're looking for the wrong things.

What exactly does that mean?

It's a common enough failing. Now, if you've finished with Zen, I'd quite like to get on; we have a malfunction on the intermediate range sensors. I need to check the systems.

Leave it! If I've missed something, I want to know what it is now, Avon.

Well now, all you had to do was ask. Zen! Replay, half speed.

Confirmed. (Replays prediction in slow motion)

Stop. All right, reverse to the instant before the explosion. (The explosion sequence is run backward) Freeze it there. All the reassurance you could want.

Do you think you could forget your superiority complex for a moment and get on with it?

All right. But first of all, let us examine the nature of prediction. The human mind is capable of seeing into the short-range future with reasonable accuracy. For example, imagine that you are standing on the edge of a cliff.

As long as you're not standing behind me.

Servalan

So tell me, Zen, how does one operate this craft?

One manipulates the controls and the craft functions accordingly.
