Transcript

STILETTO: Give me a couple more of those big guns and I'll carve out my own corner of the universe.

MAESTRO: I have a big gun. I have a happy gun.

STILETTO: Cute! Attention! Captain on Deck.

WILFORD: At ease. Congratulations. We've cleared a path to the Kilrah jump point. Next stop, the Wormhole Gate itself.

CAG: We must assume that our objective will be strongly defended. This job is far from over.

ZERO: But Captain, won't our new toy make short work of the remaining aliens?

WILFORD: Well, unfortunately, Lieutenant, our new 'toy' turned out to be a fire-and-forget weapon. We fired it once and now we can forget about using it again. Commander Finley estimates that if we charge it up a second time, there's a 67% probability that it will cause a fatal overload and destroy the Midway in the process. Now, I'd rather not test those odds until we absolutely have to. No, we'll have to fight our next engagement the old-fashioned way-- mission by mission.

CAG: And that first mission will occur right after the jump to the Kilrah System.

WILFORD: Carry on.

Silence falls as Blair, the Captain, and the CAG ENTER.

CAG
We've cleared a path to the Kilrah jump
point. Next stop, the Wormhole Gate.

CAPTAIN
It's a little early to celebrate,
people. We must assume our objective
will be strongly defended. This job is
far from over.
MAESTRO
But, Captain, won't our new big gun
make that job pretty easy?
CAPTAIN
If we use the plasma weapon a second
time, the drain on the Midway's power
coils would cause a lethal overload.

And that first mission will occur right
