Orac, Avon and others in “Unfinished Business”

Random fluctuations in circuit pulses.

Cause?

External influence.

[Over comm from Scorpio] We've nothing visible on the detectors or the scanners.

Dayna

Could they be faulty?

Detector and Scanner circuits record normal function.

Dayna

A freak magnetic storm?

That would have been observed.

Vila

[Over comm from Scorpio, panicked] So what have you observed?

A paradox.

In other words, nothing.

Correction: the pulse influences are external to the circuits, but could be internal to the craft.

Tarrant, what have you got up there apart from yourself, a half-wit and a corpse?

A box.
