Tarrant, Blake and others in “Unfinished Business”

What on earth happened to you?

Oh, most of it wasn't on Earth. Not what happened to me.

Do you want him killed?!

No, of course not! When he knows as much about this as you do now, he'll join us, like you did.

He passed the test, then.

I'm satisfied.

These stupid games you insist on playing, Blake, will get someone killed eventually.

I have to test each one myself.

No, you don't have to! I set up systems for that. I broke the security codes on their central computer. I got us access to official channels, information, everything we could possibly need! You don't need to be involved at all.

All right, I find it difficult to trust. It's a failing, I admit--!

And any one of our people could select the people you've collected. You don't need to do the bounty hunter routine, either!

Indulge me.

Do I have a choice?

Oh, there's always a choice, Deva.

Not for me, there isn't. I said I'd follow you, and I will, until the Federation's finally destroyed. But if you're killed, where does that leave us?!

With a base, the beginnings of an army!

All of it useless if you're not there to lead it.

You worry too much, Deva.

Somebody has to.

It might be an idea for somebody to start worrying about the one we just lost.

Why? He isn't armed.

I didn't notice that slowing him up.

That's true. Relax, Deva. Nobody's indispensable.
