• Roj Blake : No one is to attempt to repair any equipment 'til the computers are back under our control.

  Jenna Stannis : What is it, Blake? What's going on?

  Roj Blake : Well, the computers seem to be making decisions for themselves. They're resisting all interference.

  Jenna Stannis : But that's not possible.

  Roj Blake : [Motions to Avon]  Avon.

  Avon : It is if you think of the ship as a living entity with massive networks of electronics acting as a nervous system.

  Jenna Stannis : All linked into a central computer.

  Roj Blake : The brain.

  Avon : Carry the analogy a stage further: when a living creature is hurt - a cut or a wound - antibodies gather around the injury to repair it and to fight infection.

  Vila : You mean the computers are treating us like *germs*!

  Avon : [Smiles briefly at Blake:]  Crude, but accurate.

  Cally : But antibodies kill infection. Why are we still alive?

  Roj Blake : We're not sure. There are dozens of ways the ship could destroy us: cut off the air supply, drop the temperature so we freeze to death -

  Vila : Stop putting ideas into its head!

  Roj Blake : [to Avon:]  Actually, one touch of that cable would have done it. No, I don't think it wants to kill us.

  Avon : Well, not yet, anyway. It's saving us for something.

  Vila : Dinner?
