S4.E7: The World Turns All Around Her
"Beneath the web-thin simulacrum,
inundating and fecund
live myth and manifold truths.
Not one point of view
can embrace them at a glance."
Council of One,
CY 2333
Captain Dylan Hunt: Trance, what did you mean when you told me that you were born to traverse all universes, and a force from one side to the other?
Trance Gemini: I am the way to get us out of this.
Captain Dylan Hunt: Well, you know, I would like to get out of this. Now is the time.
Captain Dylan Hunt: Trance, who are you? What are you?
Trance Gemini [OC]: I am the Avatar of a Sun, a Star. All things come from the same thing. All from me. You are elements of the sun. As I make you, I am able to destroy you. As I destroy you, I am able to create.
Captain Dylan Hunt: You had me at Avatar.
Trance Gemini [OC]: Awareness is where we travel. No path. I am all gravity, and it exists in all universes, between them. What destroys you in this universe will deliver you to the next. Are you ready to sacrifice everything?
Captain Dylan Hunt: The sacrifice pales against that which we will gain.
Trance Gemini [OC]: You will put your trust in me to destroy you?
Captain Dylan Hunt: And remake me, yes.
Trance Gemini [OC]: Then behold the Expanding Universe.
Captain Dylan Hunt: Wow.
Seamus Harper: I've got to say, boss, even breathing the same air as Tyr so as to trick him goes above and beyond the call, let alone
The Abyss/Beka Valentine: well, nothing good comes without a price.
Seamus Harper: I suppose. Well, in the end, it turns out there was no good in Tyr. It's kind of disappointing, really. He paid the price for it, though, for good, thanks to you. I hate to think what might have been, boss.
The Abyss/Beka Valentine: Hmm. I saw you there, I saw you then. The saddest words, what might have been.
Seamus Harper: So, fifty-fifty, huh? Partners, like always?
The Abyss/Beka Valentine: What?
Seamus Harper: Come on. Come on. Come on. King of the Nietzscheans? You must have seen Tyr's stash. His booty? He must have a horde. I saw some of it. We could... ouch.
Seamus Harper: Just kidding, okay? I was kidding. Just a joke. I was joking, I was just joking.
Seamus Harper: Sixty-forty? ouch.
Seamus Harper: Seventy-thirty? Argh! Okay, okay!
Captain Dylan Hunt: Hi, Trance.
Trance Gemini: Hello. Could you pass me that over there?
Captain Dylan Hunt: I can do that.
Trance Gemini: Thank you.
Captain Dylan Hunt: That plant of yours is incredibly resilient.
Trance Gemini: Yes, it has to be. So, is there anything, you know, now that we're here, is there anything you'd like to ask?
Captain Dylan Hunt: According to Rommie's internal clock and sensors, we were never gone.
Trance Gemini: Perception is quantum, cosmic and right here.
Captain Dylan Hunt: Consciousness.
Trance Gemini: Mmm hmm.
Captain Dylan Hunt: Trance, about what happened out there. It's something we should keep between ourselves for now.
Trance Gemini: Absolutely.
Captain Dylan Hunt: Good. It was strange, though. Trying to figure out how we made it through a portal that wasn't there will give Harper something to do.
Trance Gemini: Yes, we wouldn't want to deprive him of that.
Captain Dylan Hunt: It'll keep the boy out of trouble.
Trance Gemini: It's funny that you're the one talking about keeping out of trouble.
Captain Dylan Hunt: All right, I'll make you a deal, Trance. I'll handle all the troubles in this universe, you take the others.
Trance Gemini: Deal.
Captain Dylan Hunt: Deal.
