can be fatal. But I know exactly what I'm doing. The course I have chosen... will take the Cygnus through at its optimum angle of rotation. The vortex will cause us to move at incredible speed... and that angle will slingshot us through. Nice shot, STAR. Simple, but nice. Tricky. Here, try this. If one dances, one must pay the piper. If there's anything I cannot stand, it's a sore loser. Meet me in parts storage. So, as I understand it, you want the Palomino to monitor your journey. That's right. I need you to go to another place and another time... a place where, if you're lucky... I'll have the possibility to find what we call "the ultimate knowledge." Yes, Maximilian? The probe ship is about to dock. Continue your meal, gentlemen. Cuckoo as a Swiss clock. My name's Bob, Bio-sanitation Battalion. I couldn't talk freely before, but I have a whole lot to tell you. If Maximilian knew you were here, why, it'd be the end for the both of us. Can you permanently rearm my lasers? Yeah, I can. Vincent, you and your friends are in grave danger. Reinhardt only turned the lights on to prevent any damage to the Cygnus. This is a death ship. What does your intuition tell you, Kate? That Dr Reinhardt is walking a tightrope between genius and insanity. - I think the guy's nuts. - I don't buy that. Well, whatever he is, he's an out-and-out liar. That tiny little one-man garden of his is big enough to feed an army. Nothing strange about that. It purifies the air. - Oh. - Tell them about the funeral, Dan. A robot funeral, Alex. It was almost human. Look. Granted, the 20 years out of contact with people... has made this man a little eccentric, but you can't ask me to believe... that he's programmed his robots to feel emotions. - Come on. - I know what I saw, Alex... and we only have Reinhardt's word for what happened to his crew. All I know is that that robot gardener was almost human too. Ha! He even walked with a limp. What spooks you about a malfunctioning robot, Harry? I wasn't spooked, old buddy. I'm just telling you that I had a gut feeling that... that I was looking at some kind of... some kind of person. - What are you getting at? - That we make our apologies, say our goodbyes... and get off this ship as quick as we can. Oh, now, wait a minute, Dan. Now, hold it, hold it. Now, now, now, l-let's stop and figure this thing out. If Reinhardt has antigravity strong enough to hold him here... I figure he's got enough to pull away. - So? - "So"? So why not take this ship and Reinhardt back home? That's a long shot you're talking about, Harry. Aw, come on. You've got two scientific wizards here... to figure out the computers, a-and they can even reprogram the robots. And the three of us can handle Reinhardt and that pet monster of his. I'm tellin' you, we could all be heroes. We could also be dead. These poor creatures are what's left of the crew. Kept alive by means I don't pretend to understand. Humans? They're more robot than human. Let's get outta here before we're discovered. Too late. Watch it! Think there are any more? All clear. Let's get rid of the evidence. Maximilian will take you to Debriefing. I will check out your computers personally. How long before they'll start searching for these two? It depends on their duty schedule. Could be anytime. Then we have to move fast. So, he neglected his duty to his country for a higher ideal. So what? What basis in fact do you have for these macabre speculations? I agree that his style is somewhat unconventional... but he's willing and eager to share his knowledge with us. - Doesn't that mean anything to you? - We're not staying aboard this ship any longer than we have to, Alex. - I think that's up to Reinhardt to decide. - Dan. Vincent wants you aboard the Palomino right away. Let's go, Charlie. I think I'll tag along.
