Who betrayed us?


MUTOID: Stay where you are. [Travis moves forwards]

TRAVIS: Which of you is Avalon? [He holds a nearby man and places his gun to the man's head.] I want Avalon -- now. [A figure moves forward. Another puts out a hand to stop her, but she continues forwards. Travis hits the man he was threatening, knocking him over.]

AVALON: Who betrayed us?

TRAVIS: [To mutoids] Take her.

MUTOID: [Indicating homing beacon] Shall I smash it?

TRAVIS: No. Give Blake his homing beacon -- make it easier for him. Finish it.

TERLOC: No, no, please wait. It's me, Terloc, I helped you. I gave you Avalon. I gave you Avalon. [The mutoid pushes him over with her foot] Ughh. Uh, ah. They're going to kill us. [Mutoids systematically shoot everyone amid lots of screams and shouts, then leave.]

I'm sorry you've waited so long


VOICE: Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. We have lift-off.

[The rocket lifts off.]

AVON: Meegat, I'm sorry you've waited so long.

MEEGAT: Our waiting brought you.

AVON: That seems like a poor reward, somehow.

[The rocket is climbing through space.]

[Liberator flight deck. The whole crew is present.]

ZEN: The rocket is now beyond sensor range.

AVON: Have the navigation computers made a projection?

ZEN: It is calculated that the rocket will make planet-fall in the system Magdalen Alpha.

AVON: How many suitable planets are there in that system?

ZEN: There are four with compatible biospheres.

AVON: Flight time?

ZEN: Five hundred earth years.

VILA: You won't be a legend in your own lifetime, then.

GAN: Fertility cells wouldn't know about us, anyway.

CALLY: Meegat does. [To Avon] Did she really think you were a god?

AVON: For a while.

BLAKE: How did it feel?

AVON: Don't you know?

BLAKE: Yes. I don't like the responsibility, either.

Nucleoplasmic absorption


TARRANT: Yes, well. So much about us. What about you? You built all this?

ULTRA 1: Not quite.

DAYNA: Then how?

ULTRA 2: It built itself. We are merely the custodians.

ULTRA 1: You were not strictly correct in calling Ultraworld a computer. Ultraworld is much more than that. It possesses consciousness, self-awareness.

DAYNA: You mean it's alive?

ULTRA 3: By any meaningful definition of the word, yes.

TARRANT: (rises) We're wasting time.

AVON: Wait a minute. Germanium circuitry is clever stuff, but to the best of my knowledge it cannot think for itself nor can it reproduce its own structure.

ULTRA 1: You have an astute mind, Avon.

AVON: If you say so.

ULTRA 2: There is another process involved. Nucleoplasmic absorption.

TARRANT: Oh, well that's a relief. I thought it might be something complicated.

Our own planet


JENNA: You found it then?

AVON: (empties the sack on the table and jewels spill out) Do you know how much is in there? Millions. Millions. And this is just a sample. There must be almost as much wealth in that single room as there is in the entire Federation banking system. Look at it.

JENNA: You could buy a lot of freedom with this.

AVON: You could buy anything with this. Anything at all. Think of it Jenna, there isn't anything you couldn't have.

JENNA: But what about Blake?

AVON: What about him?

JENNA: No.

AVON: We could own our own planet.

BLAKE: We're not leaving him there.

AVON: We have to. He's a crusader. He'll look upon all this as just one more weapon to use against the Federation. And he can't win. You know he can't win. What do you want to be rich or dead? (picks up necklace) We might never have this opportunity again.

JENNA: An hour. We'll wait an hour. If he's not back by then we'll leave.

AVON: Why? Why wait?

JENNA: Because that way I can convince myself that we gave him a fair chance. If he's not back by then.... (walks away)

AVON: All right.

Time spent with you


SERVALAN: Oh, don't waste time, Kasabi. You have so little of it left.

KASABI: Time spent with you was always wasted, Servalan.

Space Command


Space Command:
The military wing of the Terran Federation. According to Par in Trial, "Space Command runs the Federation". The Supreme Commander was, however, answerable to the President and the High Council: Servalan lacked the authority to turn off the defences around Central Control on Earth.
