Tarrant, Vila and others in “Unfinished Business”

Pinder's old?

Vila

Late seventies. Why?

After you'd gone, I got Orac to do us one last service. This is a printout from Central Records, all that's known about Egrorian.

Interesting reading?

Yeah, very interesting. After he vanished, they started finding the bodies. He was never a simple scientist, Avon.

Vila

What was he?

Power mad from his earliest days. He was at the center of a conspiracy to take over the Federation.

This is the man who says he wants to spend the rest of his life in the advancement of science.

The other interesting thing is Pinder.

Vila

What about him?

He was a mathematical prodigy, apparently. He was eighteen when he disappeared with Egrorian...ten years ago. Now, I'm not a mathematical prodigy, but it seems to me that makes him twenty-eight.
