Excerpt

Roj Blake looked intently at each of his five crewmembers seated on the forward couch on flight deck of the Liberator. He sat in the middle, with Jenna on his right and Cally on his left. "I cannot stress this enough," he said earnestly, "no one is required to do anything this time. I don't know for sure if the claims of the people of Taurus Minor are true. There might not be any ancient lost technology and therefore, no need for our expertise."

"Our expertise?" Avon inquired sarcastically, from his place on Cally’s right.

"All right. Your expertise," Blake sighed, stroking Avon's ego as always. "But, remember, I am not forcing you to go. I can check it out myself and see if it’s worth anything."

"You don't sound too enthusiastic about this, Blake," Gan remarked.

"Frankly, I don’t think this will be worth our time." Blake frowned, having spent considerable time in research with ORAC.

"Then why go?" Jenna asked.

"Because there’s always a possibility I could be wrong," Blake replied grimly.

As usual, Avon took the shot. "There's a first. You admitting it".

"Ah, lay off it," Vila admonished, only verbalizing what the others had thought. He had prompt second thoughts however when Avon gave him a dark glare.

"In return," Blake continued, ignoring them both, "we'll find out just what this discovery is and have a potential new ally against the Federation."
