It's a pit the base didn't feature in the user's manual. I liked the plans of Scorpio, though. Yes, how all the rooms relate to each other. Some idea of the layout comes in Warlord. Yes, that's another good episode for that.

But then, when Orac reports: "Vila weighs 73 kilos", Avon has nothing to say? In Orbit, he saw a direct threat to his life. Here I think he believes in ORAC's warnings enough to be suspicious, but not enough to leave Vila and Tarrant to die. Exactamente. As a Vila fan, I find 'Orbit' VERY traumatic! Traumatic, yes, if you're Vila, but Avon patently doesn't WANT hurt him. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

The nearest is 3 miles away, for a start. And they don't have the same...tanginess. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
