Off I go to Baycon soon, and I have art to pack, glass paintings to finish, aromatherapy oils to blend, a house to clean-- little time for reading and less for writing. So, 'bye for now.

If Vila had sacrificed himself for Avon, I imagine his outer reaction would be simply to tell the others that he was lost on the mission and possibly in a joking way let them know he died bravely. "Rather unexpected, really." I could then see this as a launching point for Blake, as Avon has just lost possibly his only friend. And it's his fault (for not solving the problem faster). Blake is the one person who can take the burden of leadership off him. Blake is the only person who might understand what he's dealing with. That said, Avon's deeper reactions might prevent "Blake" from being such a tragedy. Someone was willing to die for him. Avon has learned how not to trust, but an unexpected and very personal sacrifice was made to save him. It might have been enough to make him give Blake a greater benefit of doubt. OTOH, it might just make him more inclined to trust Tarrant. Anyhow, given enough time, rather than 'sending him over the edge', Vila's sacrifice might knock a tiny bit off his wall of cynicism. I also suspect he'd want to hunt down and kill everyone behind the trap.

Quoting B7 at friends
by Leia Fee 21 May '01

Yeah I tend to do this too. Most commonly... "What shall I do with my other hand" "Do you want the applause now or will it wait" (Theres a guy I practice with sometimes who goes off on one when he wins - this line has become my standard response) "Sometimes ones friends can be more of a liability than ones enimies" (With my friends this is most certainly true ;-)) "I can talk or I can work but I can't do both" (I'm always getting accused of not being able to concentrate on two things at once) So many B7 quotes are so useful on a reenactment battlefield... "I plan to live forever or die trying" "Strategic withdrawal is running away - but with dignity" "I am not expendable, I am not stupid and I'm not going" (On being asked to check the westrange of the castle we practice in - a popular spot for an ambush) "I've just worked out a completly new startegy - it's called running away" "I just don't want to die - is that unreasonable?" On being asked if I'm awake I generally answer 'No' (happens often enough, I can fall asleep anywhere). I'm sure there are more but those sprang to mind<g> It always gives me a grin when people recognise the reference. Leia

Tavia said: "The number of women transported did not seem to me to be adequate for viability" This seems true, there was only one woman on the London and we only saw woman on Cygnus Alpha. However, a copuple of thoughts. We saw very few of the people already on Cygnus Alpha, so we had no real evidence to make a good statistical guess as to the gender breakdown of the population as it already stands. Secondly, the norm may be for prison ships to be segregated with all men on one with male warders and all female on others with female warders. For reasons unknown, Jenna may have been an unusual case. Weak I know, but not impossible. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption
