OBUTU: Sir, the nearest
jump point to the Charybdis...
:28:08
is four days hard travel
from our current location.
:28:11
TAGGART: There's a class-two
pulsar eleven hours from here.
:28:14
We can jump there.
:28:17
OBUTU:
It's not on the chart, sir.
:28:18
Navcom does not have
those coordinates.
:28:20
I have them.
:28:22
No one's jumped a pulsar
for forty years...
:28:24
and even then,
they were Pilgrims.
:28:27
I don't believe we have
a choice, Mr. Gerald.
:28:30
If the battle is to be decided
in the Charybdis quasar...
:28:34
then that's where we have to be.
:28:38
Plot your course, Mr. Taggart.
:28:40
Sure.
:28:41
Sir, that ring means nothing.
:28:43
This ring has been in Tolwyn's
family for sixteen generations.
:28:47
And any man who carries it...
:28:48
has the admiral's
full confidence!
:28:53
Prepare for the jump.
:29:01
BLAIR: Hey.
:29:04
We goin' out?
:29:06
No. Just me.
:29:07
I pulled security
with Lieutenant Forbes.
:29:09
Why'd you wake me up?
:29:12
Remember back at the academy?
:29:14
You promised you would
take that thing off.
:29:18
It brings me luck.
:29:19
It's gonna get you killed.
:29:21
I was wearing it
when I made the jump.
:29:23
Yeah, but that had
nothing to do with luck.
:29:25
That was about training,
skill, desire.
:29:28
Now, please.
:29:30
Take the cross off.
:29:33
It's who I am.
:29:35
You don't even know
what it means.
:29:40
This is the big show.
:29:41
And you gotta have someone
watching your back.
:29:43
It's either kill or be killed.
:29:45
And you know what?
I can't always be there.
:29:48
[Chuckles]
:29:52
Hey, I'm tryin' to be
Mr. Sensitive Guy.
:29:54
It's just--Ahh!
:29:56
I don't even know why I bother.
:29:59
All right. Wish me luck.
