firecracker hit me. Doesn't matter, though. If they'd found out, we'd be dead by now. Have a nice day now. - You've done it? - Avon's waiting in the lift with the gold. - What about Tarrant? - All on schedule. You should have declared her condition before the flight. This will give temporary relief, nothing else. But I don't understand. She had plenty of her tablets. - She must have lost them. - Addicts do, you know. That's why it's an offence not to report to me before leaving Zerok. - Can she survive till we reach Earth? - Yes. - That's all right then. - Unfortunately not. Being an alien, she won't be given drugs on Earth. - Oh, but in that case, she'll die. - Precisely. What hope is there then, Doctor? Only to return to Zerok, and I can't see that happening. - Can you? - No. However, we'll try. Sickbay to flight deck, this is Dr Slaten. I need to talk to Captain Kennedy. PILOT: There's no doubt in your mind that she'll die, Doctor? DOCTOR: None at all, Captain. PILOT: Aborting the trip is out of the question, I'm afraid. DOCTOR: I realise that. PILOT: I could put out a mayday I suppose. See if there's a ship around can take her back. It's a very slim chance though. You'd be surprised. DOCTOR: It's her only chance under the circumstances. - I'll give it a try then, Doctor. - Thank you, Captain. And so say all of us, eh, pretty one? CAPTAIN: Is suffering from exobriddium addiction and requires immediate passage to Zerok. Mayday. Mayday. This is passage liner Space Princess. We have a medical emergency. Space Princess. Space Princess. This is civilian freighter Scorpio calling Space Princess. Go ahead, Scorpio. We are en route for Zerok. We can accept your passenger. (Dayna gasping) - Stand back and raise your hands. - Who are you? What do you want? Do as I say. I shan't hesitate to kill you. Do as he says. - Avon, the antidote. - Get after him! I'm dying. Here! Look out! It's some sort of hold up. (Gun firing) See, pretty one, I can shoot, too. - He wasn't armed. - Or dangerous. Everyone's dangerous. Let's go. - Did you get him? - Keiller shot him. Give me a hand with this. I told you it would work. We're going to walk off this ship and no one's even going to try and stop us. GUARD: Stop them! - Guards! - Dayna! Go! - There's more! - Let's go! Avon, they're disengaging. We've got about 10 seconds before the airlocks close automatically. Come on! I'll cover. TARRANT: Avon! Open the door! Open the door! No! Come back! Help! Open the door! No! Vila, I need teleport now, Vila. Now, Vila! - What kept you? - All right, Slave, get us out of here! - Full power! - At once, sir. Did you get the gold? - Eight? - Nine. Try ten. All right, Keiller. Time to make contact. Anything to get this over with, old friend. You were given a frequency, I presume. They can't be far away, can they? - Rendezvous where? - Beta 5, in the Ark Rough Bennett Complex. - But that's Federation territory. - Isn't that too dangerous? The whole complex is remote, useless and uninhabited. I don't think we need worry. Beta 5? Beta 5 it is. One other thing, the price is ten billion, not six. - That's ridiculous. - No, it's good business. We have the gold. We're well ahead of schedule. We're going to need to be. We have to put Scorpio down on Beta 5, unload the gold and get Scorpio back into orbit all before they arrive. Makes you appreciate the teleport, doesn't it? Vila, once we are down, you take Scorpio back into orbit on your own - but stay within teleport range. - But out of attack range. Did you want me to tell you to watch out for hostile ships? Just checking. As for the rest of you, no risks, no heroics, please. Just stick to the plan. SLAVE: Beta 5 approach vector is achieved and holding, Master. Thank you, Slave. Put it on the main screen. - Avon. - Yes, Vila. Orbit's established, and according to Slave's detectors, your ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Остров на английском - текст Лучшие друзья на английском - текст Паровозик из Ромашково на английском - текст Друзья - Сезон 9 на английском - текст Великая война демонов на английском |
