 Subject : Pt 2/2: Blake's 7
 ---
     However, Cally, who is holding a group of prisoners whilst the others
continue with their work, is attacked when she takes her eyes off the
prisoners for a moment.  She loses her teleportation bracelet in the
ensuing scuffle and is still searching for it when the explosions go off.
The rest of the crew do not realize that she is missing for some time, and
by then the *Liberator* is many spacials distant and being pursued by
missiles launched from Centero.
     Meanwhile, on the station which serves as Space Command headquarters,
Supreme Commander Servalan is being questioned by two representatives of
the President.  They express the President's dismay that Blake is not only
still alive but is becoming a hero of malcontents and opponents to the
Federation.  Despite major opposition from these two envoys, she appoints
Space Commander Travis to lead the hunt for Blake.
     Back on Centero, Cally survives the explosion and is taken prisoner.
     Travis realizes that the explosions were merely to mislead him and
recognizes that the decoding device has been stolen.  He persuades Servalan
not to change the codes immediately, but rather to take advantage of the
position by broadcasting a message which Blake is bound to pick up and
respond to.  The message chosen states that Cally has been found alive.
     Blake immediately takes the ship back to Centero and, despite his
knowledge that there will be large numbers of forces out to stop him,
produces a plan which involves taking the *Liberator* into very close
range, teleporting him to the interrogation room where Cally is being held,
and releasing her.  Blake does this to avoid Travis' knowing exactly when
the ship is going to teleport Blake down.  He succeeds in releasing Cally,
and they teleport back to the ship.
     Travis vows vengeance.  With ships crewed by mutoids, Travis commences
the long chase after Blake.  A chase which continues throughout most of the
series.
