Blake's 7 Quote
Tarrant: Is that a weapon?
Avon: That? No, no, it's purely defensive. An analogue of something that evolves on the permanent dark side of a planet. A highly simplified copy of course.
Tarrant: Permanent dark side? Are you saying you've...
Avon: I've built an artificial Sopron. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
[Zen informs Servalan that the module is marginally better equipped than Liberator]
Avon: Self defense. Some animals bristle out their fur to frighten their enemies. But that doesn't count for much in the dark.
Vila: So what does Sopron do?
Avon: Sopron is a mirror. A distorting mirror. It reflects a slightly greater image of whatever it is that happens to be scanning it. Zen saw a capacity-charged brain, because that is what Zen is. Orac saw a highly sophisticated computer because that is what Orac is. Cally thought that she saw her parents, But what she actually saw was herself.
Tarrant: And will that work?
Avon: Oh yes. The question is... what will Servalan see? And will she be fooled by it?
Avon: That? No, no, it's purely defensive. An analogue of something that evolves on the permanent dark side of a planet. A highly simplified copy of course.
Tarrant: Permanent dark side? Are you saying you've...
