- Vila Restal: [Entering with Blake] Where are Cally and Avon?
- Roj Blake: It's a long story.
- Vila Restal: Well, what's in the box?
- Roj Blake: It's an even longer story.
- Vila Restal: I like stories!
- Zen: In one point zero three minutes, it will no longer be possible to operate force wall and main drive simultaneously. Please decide which to close down.
- Jenna Stannis: Without main drive we'll never get out of this.
- Vila Restal: Without the force wall we'll be smashed to pieces!
- Roj Blake: Have the locators detected the outer edge of the storm yet?
- Vila Restal: [looks at his panel] No. Yes! No... Maybe.
- Roj Blake: Which is it, Vila?
- Vila Restal: [looks again] It's "Maybe."
- Zen: Directive is now required.
- Vila Restal: [to Jenna] I don't think I feel very well.
- Olag Gan: [retrieving the neutrotope box from the floor] I hope nothing's been broken.
- Roj Blake: So do I.
- [Blake keys the combination and opens the box. It's empty]
- Roj Blake: It's still on the Ortega! We've got to get back to them!
- Vila Restal: [to a stunned Jenna] Now I *know* I don't feel very well.
- Vila Restal: Mock if you like but I can always sense danger.
- Olag Gan: Yes, even when there isn't any.
- [Avon produces evidence that Sara is the murderer. Everyone turns round to find her pointing a gun at them]
- Sara: So now you know. It doesn't matter, you'd have known soon enough anyway.
- Kendall: Sara, why?
- Sara: I wanted the neutrotope. Or at least the money it would give me. It's that simple.
- Avon: Was Mandrian in it if with you?
- Sara: No, but he found out. I asked him to share it with me but he wouldn't. He wanted me to come to you and admit the whole thing. If I didn't, he was going to tell you himself. So... But none of that's important now. I only need a little more time.
- Avon: You're not going anywhere, Sara. You just don't get off a spaceship and run.
- Sara: I'll kill the first one that puts his head outside this door.
- [Sara backs out of the room, still covering them with the gun. Avon waits a moment, then goes to the door and peers out, checking the coast is clear. Then he comes back]
- Avon: Well, she's one of your crew, you'd better get after her.
