BLAKE:    Well, make up your mind I've got no more time to play
          games.

CALLY:    (restores weapon function) What is it you want to know?

BLAKE:    Let's start with who you are.

CALLY:    Cally, my name is Cally.  (crouches and spins toward a
          noise, gun raised) Out.

VILA:     (comes out with hands raised)  No need for
          belligerence, pretty lady.  I'm harmless. (moves down
          the slope to join them)  Quick, isn't she?

CALLY:    Is he one of your crew?

BLAKE:    One of them.

AVON:     And he's useless as he said.  (comes out from cover)
          I've had a gun on you the whole time.  You were dead as
          soon as you broke cover. (Avon comes to join them)

VILA:     Harmless was the word I used.

AVON:     You couldn't even get that right. (to Cally) How do you
          come to be telepathic?

CALLY:    I am from the planet Auron.  I was sent from there to
          aid the freedom fighters of this planet.  But my people
          are the Auronar.

AVON:     And they are telepathic.

CALLY:    And quick.  I would not have died alone.

VILA:     Why can't you read our minds?

CALLY:    Because you are not telepathic.

VILA:     Could I read yours?

CALLY:    You could receive my thought if I wished you to.

BLAKE:    Cally, how do we contact the resistance force?

CALLY:    There is no resistance force. They're all dead.

BLAKE:    All of them?

CALLY:    We were getting stronger.  The security forces kept
          hunting us, but we knew the hills and jungles too well.
          We made an attack on the main generating plant.  And
          for the first time, they saw us a real threat.

AVON:     What happened?

CALLY:    They released poison from the sky.  All the fighters
          died, except me.  Perhaps because I am alien to this
          planet.


BLAKE:    You've been working alone ever since.

CALLY:    My work was in communications.  But there will be
          companions for my death.   I plan to raid the complex.
          To destroy until I am destroyed.

BLAKE:    Well, our aim's the same.  But I wasn't planning a
          suicide mission.

VILA:     I should hope not.

CALLY:    He fears death?

VILA:     I plan to live forever.  Or die trying.

BLAKE:    If you can get us inside that complex, we'll provide
          all the destruction you want.  And still get out
          safely.

AVON:     Or die trying.

CALLY:    (telepaths)  I will guide you.  (starts away)

BLAKE:    (follows Cally, then turns back to Avon and Vila) She
          said yes.

[Avon and Vila exchange glances and follow]

[Jenna enters Liberator teleport area, looking for Gan. The
lights dim, then resume normal operation]

JENNA:    (into intercom) Gan, are you all right?

[Interior.  Various areas of the Liberator]

JENNA:    (v.o.) Gan, respond please.  Report your location.

[Interior.  Liberator hold five.  View of broken communicator.]

JENNA:    (distorted v.o.) Report your location.

[Interior. Liberator teleport area]

JENNA:    Gan, where are you?

[Jenna draws her gun and begins making her way to the hold.  She
reaches the hold, opens the door and enters.]

[Interior.  Liberator hold five.  Jenna enters.]

JENNA:    (whispers) Gan.

[There is a heavy cable connecting the projectile to the main
power supply in the hold.  Jenna goes to the projectile and looks
in.]

[Interior.  Alien projectile.  Jenna is visible through the open
hatch]

JENNA:    (whispers) Gan.

[The sound of a door slamming shut.  Jenna moves away from the
hatch.  A hand reaches up from inside one of the cryogenic
units.]

[Interior. Liberator hold five. Jenna is moving back toward the
exit.  Alien drops down from above.  They struggle.  He draws his
knife. Jenna shoots him.  Gan climbs out of projectile and slumps
down]

GAN:      (groans)

JENNA:    (moves to him) What happened?

GAN:      Jenna, couldn't stop them.  Couldn't stop them.
          Implant.

JENNA:    What!

GAN:      (groans)

JENNA:    Brain implants.

GAN:      Limiter.  Not possible for me to kill now.

JENNA:    Gan, what happened in the projectile.

GAN:      Never wanted to.  They kill.  Anyone, everyone  who
          isn't theirs.

JENNA:    One of them is already dead.

GAN:      The other one.  I saw his face.  Jenna, despises us.

[Exterior.  Saurian Major, outer edge of the communications
complex.  Blake, Avon, Vila follow Cally]

CALLY:    (telepaths)  It's clear.

[They move on.  They penetrate the interior of the complex.  It
is heavily guarded.  Arrive at heavy door.]

BLAKE:    This is it.  The control room for the paraneutronic
          generator.  If we can sabotage the limiter settings,
          the chain reaction will blow this entire complex off
          the planet.

AVON:     We'll need to blast the door.  That will alert the
          guards before we've even started.

VILA:     (to Avon) Listen fingers, computers are yours, doors
          are mine.  Right?

BLAKE:    You can open it?

VILA:     One side please.  (picks the lock)  There you are.

BLAKE:    (opens the door)  Good, Vila.  Very good.

VILA:     It was almost nothing.

[They begin to move through the open door.  Guard spots them and
yells]

BLAKE:    Everybody inside.  Come on, quick.

[An alarm sounds.  All run down the inner corridor and into the
generator room]

[Saurian Major.  Interior.  Generator room]

AVON:     Vila.

BLAKE:    (closing door) Avon, can you do it?

AVON:     (crouching near control panel) Five minutes. (pause) I
          know.  Make it two.

[Liberator teleport area.  Jenna enters.  Second alien attacks
her.  They fight.  He is about to kill her.  Gan comes in with
gun, but cannot fire.  Alien takes gun from Gan.  Jenna fires and
kills alien.]

JENNA:    (coughing)  It's all right.  We got them.  Everything's
          over.

[Saurian Major.  Interior.  Generator room.]

AVON:     Adjuster.  (Cally hands him a tool)

BLAKE:    The door won't hold much longer.

AVON:     I'm nearly finished.  Magnetic probe.

VILA:     That's running up into the danger level.

AVON:     I have to neutralize the safety circuits.  Otherwise it
          will close down the reactor.

[Saurian Major.  Interior.  Guards in the corridor are firing at
the door.]

BLAKE:    (gives Cally teleport bracelet) Put this on.

CALLY:    (takes bracelet) What is it?

BLAKE:    Our way out.  Put it on.

[Cally puts on bracelet]

[Interior.  Liberator teleport area.  Jenna and Gan.  The lights
dim again]

JENNA:    Gan, the aliens have linked their ship to our power
          source.  I'm getting a very heavy power loss.  I'll
          have to disconnect.  You'll be all right, won't you?

GAN:      (nods) Yes.

[Jenna leaves Liberator teleport area for the hold.  Gan leaves
for the Liberator flight deck.]

[Interior.  Liberator flight deck.  Gan comes down the stairs and
falls.]

ZEN:      Olag Gan.  Basic decoding of projectile's autolog is
          now complete.  Occupants are identified as programmed
          guardians.  They are conditioned to eliminate any life
          form which could be a threat to the brood units and
          genetic banks contained in the rear section of the
          projectile.  Liberator crew are such a threat and will
          be attacked.  There are four guardians.  Repeat, four
          guardians.

GAN:      (Gasping for breath) Jenna. (gets up and starts back
          out) Jenna.

[Interior.  Liberator hold five.  Jenna is inspecting the power
hookup]

[Interior.  Liberator teleport area.  Gan enters, moves
guardian's body.]

GAN:      (yells)  JENNA!  (passes out)

[Interior.  Liberator hold five. Jenna begins to disconnect power
cable.]

[Interior.  Alien projectile.  A hand unlocks the rear
compartment]

[Saurian Major. Interior.  Guards in the corridor continue their
barrage.]

[Saurian Major.  Interior.  Generator room]

AVON:     (pulls out a part of the control mechanism) Got it.
          Reaction's building.  Nothing can stop this generator
          now.  (smashes the part with his foot)

BLAKE:    (into communicator) Jenna, we're ready.  Stand by to
          bring us up.  (pause)  Control.

[Interior.  Liberator teleport area.  Gan regains consciousness,
pulls himself up, trying to reach teleport controls]

BLAKE:    (v.o.) Control.  Now!  Jenna.  Gan.  Teleport NOW.
          (Gan makes another attempt at the controls)  Can you
          hear me?

[Saurian Major.  Interior.  Generator room]

AVON:     It's going.  It's going up.

BLAKE:    Teleport now.

[Interior.  Liberator teleport area.  Gan operates the controls]


[ Saurian Major.  Interior.  Generator room.  The group is
teleported.  The security forces break into the room.  The
control unit explodes, killing the guards.]

[Interior.  Liberator hold five.  Jenna is still working to
disconnect the power cable.]

[Interior. Alien projectile.  Rear compartment is opening.]

[Interior.  Liberator teleport area]

BLAKE:    Where's Jenna?

GAN:      Jenna.  In the hold.

BLAKE:    Look after him.  (runs out of Liberator teleport area)

[Interior.  Liberator hold five.  Guardian creeping up on Jenna,
his knife drawn.  Blake enters]

BLAKE:    Jenna!

[Jenna falls.  Blake pushes alien.  Alien falls against power
panel and is killed]

[Interior.  Liberator flight deck.  Entire crew and Cally are
present.  Main screen on, explosions]

BLAKE:    That should give them problems for a while.

CALLY:    (telepaths) You have my thanks.

BLAKE:    Pleasure.  (pause)  Do you wish to return to Auron?

CALLY:    I cannot return to my people.  I have failed.

BLAKE:    Then stay with us.

CALLY:    Thank you.

JENNA:    What are we going to do about the projectile.

BLAKE:    Dump it in deep space.

JENNA:    Thanks a lot.

GAN:      I don't like the sound of that.  It's murder.

AVON:     Would you rather it was hooked back into the power
          system.  You heard Zen.  A single cell from those
          genetic banks can be incubated into fully grown adult
          in one point six minutes.

VILA:     We could be up to our armpits in homicidal maniacs
          within the hour.

BLAKE:    Maybe that's why Zen was so uncooperative.

JENNA:    It seems to me it should have taught us something.
          Something about the wisdom involved in bringing aliens
          aboard.

BLAKE:    Seven of us can run this ship properly.

VILA:     Six surely.

BLAKE:    You forgot Zen.

AVON:     You're not counting that machine as a member of the
          crew.

BLAKE:    Oh, what do you say to that Zen?

ZEN:      Please state course and speed.

BLAKE:    Very diplomatic.  Set a course for Centero, speed
          standard by two.

ZEN:      Confirmed.
