I try to never upset someone who's at the helm of a rapidly falling object when I'm in it.
“Ruling from the Tomb”
In this episode: Matthew Gideon (8), Elizabeth Lochley (7), Max Eilerson (3), Dureena Nafeel (2)
Look, Captain, I didn't ask for this assignment. This whole Drakh virus conference was Dr. Stephen Franklin's idea. ... Now when Earthforce asked for an officer to oversee it, the good doctor put me at the top of his shortlist. Now, right now, my main goal is to find a cure for this so I can go Earthside and thank Stephen in person with a large brick.
Well, there's incentive.
Captain Gideon, 'security' happens to be my middle name.
That's all well and good, but just in case your last name is 'breach' it won't hurt for me to double-check.
[Lochley confronts Gideon regarding an autopsy report.]
You know what you are?
Ruggedly handsome?
A control freak.
Can't I be both?
[Trace and Eilerson argue over who gets to dance with Dureena.]
Gods, I am drowning in testosterone.
Well, luckily for you, you're equipped with flotation devices.
Who was your old hero?
Truthfully? John Sheridan.
John Sheridan? No kidding.
Were you ever under him?
[Lochley chokes on drink.]
Can I be blunt?
That's a trick question, right?
You're telling me some guy actually managed to land you? Got you to lower your defenses enough to commit, and then let you get away? God, he must be the biggest loser in the galaxy.
Oh, major loser. They don't come any bigger.
Loser have a name?
John Sheridan.
[Gideon spits out drink.]
GTGideon to Lochley
Captain, you are the most double-talking, suspicious, second-guessing individual I have ever seen since the last time I looked in a mirror.
Do you believe that there is a supreme being?
Aside from John Sheridan?
Captain, I have five years to cure the Drakh plague. Do I believe in God? I'll get back to you on that in five years and one day.
One man's lunatic is another man's saint or holy martyr. In the words of T.S. Eliot, "Saint and martyr rule from the tomb."
You know, on my world, it was considered great evil to even try to presume to speak on behalf of the universe.
