LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: Admiral Tolwyn's escaped.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: What? How?

MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Uh, I let him go.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: You did what?!

MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: He's the Admiral. You know, I served under him a long time.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Oh?

MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: You got any idea the kind of firepower would come down on us when they found out we were holding the Admiral prisoner?

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: He's your friend.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: So now he knows our position and what we're up to.

MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: Alright, so I mighta screwed up.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: He couldn't have gone far -- let's go after him.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: And do what? Shoot him down? Talk about your acts of war. No, this is a 'Maniac move' we're gonna have to live with. I just hope we don't live to regret it.

C.I.C. - Dekker, maniac -j3ÿÿ CONDITION: Blair held Tolwyn as POW in Scene -J3 AND Scene -J3 has played.

Blair finds dekker pacing, teeth clenched; Maniac fidgeting.

dekker Admiral Tolwyn's escaped.

blair How?

dekker looks at maniac.

maniac (sheepish) I let him go.

blair You let him go?!

maniac He's the Admiral. I served under him a long time.

blair So that entitled him to a get-out-of-jail pass in your puny little mind?

maniac (bristles) You got any idea what kind of firepower would come down on us when they found out we were holding the Admiral prisoner? (more)

maniac (cont'd) War hasn't even been declared yet. Half the Confed fleet is probably heading this way right now. If you ask me, I probably just saved all our asses.

blair looks at dekker.

dekker He's your friend.

no help there. he looks at maniac again.

blair Now he knows our position and what we're up to.

maniac (long beat) All right. So I mighta screwed up. (beat; softer) Seemed like a good idea at the time.

dekker He can't be far. Let's go after him--

blair And do what? Shoot him down? Talk about acts of war. (beat) No. This is a 'Maniac move' we're gonna have to live with. (to Maniac) I just hope we don't live to regret it.
