Transcript

LEV ARRIS: No, no I think there must be some mistake, I'm not with Taffin. The pod that Taffin sold you, I have an interest in it.

ANGUS SANTANA: Of that, I figured.

LEV ARRIS: I was in it, just before it was sold.

ANGUS SANTANA: That would account for the interest.

LEV ARRIS: I'm trying to clear up some questions about the facility I was in prior to being put in the pod, but I can't do that without the pod's serial number and it doesn't show in the manifest of the ship it was on.

ANGUS SANTANA: What ship was that?

LEV ARRIS: The Canera.

ANGUS SANTANA: The one that crashed? Hey that whole business was not un-strange. Some crazy rumors flying around. Way off-planet. Could you put some clothes on those rumors?

LEV ARRIS: Maybe. But it's the pod I'm that interested in. Can you, ah, can you give me the serial number?

ANGUS SANTANA: Well, if I had time to think about it I'm sure there are a million reasons why I shouldn't. But I'm in a charitable mood and I do have a meeting to get to.

LEV ARRIS: Three meetings.

ANGUS SANTANA: On the button. Mmm, here's what you're after. I've transferred it to your computer. If you follow the landings and the cargo information attached to that tracking number you ought to be able to find the planet of origin. That's the old number, a new ones been assigned since we bought the pod.

LEV ARRIS: Thanks. You said something about a memory solid going missing.

ANGUS SANTANA: Yes, not something that normally would become detached. Is there anything else I can do for you?

LEV ARRIS: No. You've been very helpful. Thanks very much.

ANGUS SANTANA: Think nothing of it.

SC.128A

SANTANA
That I figured.
ARRIS
I was in it myself, just before
it was sold.
SANTANA
That would account for the interest.
ARRIS
I'm trying to clear up some questions
about the facility I was in prior to
being put in the pod. But I can't do
that without the pod's serial number.
It doesn't show in the manifest of the
ship it was on.
SANTANA
What ship was that?
ARRIS
The Canera...
SANTANA
The one that crashed. Hey, that whole
business was not un strange. Some

Maybe. But it's the pod I'm interested
in. Can you give me the serial number?

Well...I'm sure if I had time to

ARRIS
Three meetings.
SANTANA
(Smiles)
On the button.

SANTANA (CONT'D)
Mmm...here's what you're
after I've transferred
the number to your computer.
SANTANA(CONT..)
and cargo information
attached to that tracking
number, you ought to be
able to find the planet of
origin. That's the old
number: a new one's
been assigned since we
bought the pod.
ARRIS
Thank you. -- You said
that a memory solid has
gone missing?
SANTANA
Yes -- not something that
usually would have been
detached. -- Is there
anything else I can do for
you?
ARRIS
No - you've already helped
