Transcript
Act One
SCENE - Space
Payback: Furballs at six o'clock. Two fighters and a salvage tug. And something under tow.
Maniac: We've been spotted.
Payback: Maniac, Archer, take out those fighters. I'll try to slow down the big cat.
Archer: Understood Payback.
Maniac: Can do! Woo-hoo! I've got this one. Me and this guy are going to play a little tag. Nice move, furball. Alright it looks like I'm it.
Archer: Hang on, Maniac, I got a target lock. I got him.
Maniac: Come on, Archer, take him out. He's all over me! He's got a target lock.
Archer: Maniac! I had to do it. There was no other way.
Payback: Come on, one clear shot. (groans) Just one.
Maniac: What a piece of junk.
Payback: Maybe, but that Kilrathi salvage tug might have been able to escape if he'd cut it loose. It must be important.
Archer: I wonder what's inside.
Payback: Whatever it is, we'd better get it back to the 'Claw.
SCENE - Sleeper Ship
Tolwyn: It definitely isn't Kilrathi. It isn't like anything that's been flown in the last two hundred years.
Maya: I don't care much for their interior decorator. What a mess. Looks like somebody's home after all. You want me to figure out the deep freeze system and bring this cold cut back to life?
Guthrig: He appears human. It's possible he actually is hum an.
Tolwyn: From the look of this ship, he's been in cryo freeze for a long time. He can wait a little while until we get him to a qualified specialist. Seal the ship until we can arrange to pass him on to Confederation Scientific Operations.
Maya: Yes, sir.
SCENE - Briefing Room
Tolwyn: We'll rendezvous with a squadron of escort frigates who will take these transports off our hands. We'll be meeting them here at a planet called Oasis.
Razor: All right, Oasis!
Tolwyn: Most old spacehands consider Oasis among the most beautiful planets in the galaxy. There will be shore leave while we wait for the escorts, so you cadets will get to judge for yourselves. Oasis is something of an engmia. Its proximity to its sun should make it barely able to support life. But an unusual energy field filters out harmful radiation, much as Earth's ozone layer blocks out ultraviolet light.
SCENE - Flight Deck
Tolwyn: The Oasians have an agreement with the Kilrathi recognizing Oasis as a peace zone. No fighting. The Confederation respects that agreement. So far, no Kilrathi have visited Oasis while a Confederation ship was there. But one should always be prepared for the unexpected.
Maverick: Look out!
Warrior King: Stand aside and you will not be harmed. I warned him not to interfere! I need one of your craft.
Maniac: Nobody flies my fighter but ME!
Archer: Maniac!
Maniac: (groans)
Warrior King: Don't. I have searched through more lifetimes than you can imagine. I will not let you stop me when I am this close. (groans) What is one life against a world?
