SERIES TWO - Star One (B13)

[scene - outside the base entrance]
AVON: Hold it, touch that and I'll drop you where you stand. Well, now. Travis. Fancy meeting you here.
TRAVIS: Put the gun down, Avon, it's too late to stop it now.
AVON: Convince me.
TRAVIS: Be polite and I may let you live.
AVON: Be informative and I may let you die. You'll want that after I've shot off an arm and a leg or two.
TRAVIS: I thought you were supposed to be the one with brains?
AVON: Brains but no heart. Now talk or scream, Travis, the choice is yours.

scene - Avon and Travis outside base entrance]
AVON: I hope these people will really do as you tell them, Travis.
TRAVIS: They will.
AVON: The first one who doesn't will cost you your head.

[They enter the base]
AVON: [To Travis] Don't move. [Avon struggles with Lurena - Travis escapes]
AVON: Damn!

scene - central Star One control room]

STOTT: Is it nearly complete?
PARTON: As you see.
STOTT: Constructing the circuits required to deactivate the defence zone was difficult, but we were able to keep the technicians alive long enough to duplicate their entire brain patterns as well as their physical shape.
BLAKE: Their physical shape?
STOTT: Why do we still retain it? The woman Lurena has escaped. It's just a precaution. May I ask you an impertinent question?
BLAKE: If you don't mind an impertinent answer.
STOTT: I have taken on the shape of your species. I use your words, and yet I cannot understand you. The woman Lurena and the other technicians that were here, these I could understand. But you. Why have you betrayed your own kind? Why have you given us the means to eradicate your species?
BLAKE: Eradicate humanity?
STOTT: Virtually.
BLAKE: Well maybe I just don't like crowds. [Travis enters and shoots Blake]
BLAKE: Travis.
STOTT: You are Travis?
TRAVIS: I am Travis.
STOTT: Then who is this?
TRAVIS: His name is Blake. Hm. His name was Blake.

[scene - central Star One control room]
TRAVIS: Your people are well trained.
STOTT: They serve, as do we all.
TRAVIS: How much longer?
PARTON: Each of these keys will close down one sector of the defence zone. When I've connected this last one, you can begin.
TRAVIS: My one regret is that they'll never know who really killed them.

[scene - Star One central control room]
PARTON: It is finished. Now you can open the way for our fleet to enter.
TRAVIS: The final act.

[scene - Star One control room - Travis and Stott are shot by Blake, then Avon enters and shoots Parton]
CALLY: Avon!
AVON: How bad is he?
CALLY: Bad enough.
BLAKE: Is he dead, Avon? Is Travis dead? [Avon shoots Travis again, Travis falls into central well]
AVON: He is now. Are you?
BLAKE: I've had better days.
