Atlan : [indicating TD 15-capable drive prototype] So, how soon can this be fitted to our space choppers?
Dr. Plaxton : It can't.
Atlan : Why not?
Dr. Plaxton : Because this is the only one.
Atlan : So build more! We've provided you with enough raw material to build five hundred!
Dr. Plaxton : [indignant] I am a scientist, not a production engineer! And the other reason why this can't be fitted to your space choppers is, quite simply, it *won't* fit.
Atlan : Why not?
Dr. Plaxton : [patiently] Because the only way to increase the power was to increase the size of the photon generator chambers. This drive was intended to be installed in a real spacecraft, not in toys driven by a bunch of murderous psychopaths.
Atlan : Our agreement...
Dr. Plaxton : *Our agreement* was that you provide me with the resources to continue with my work! Well, that's exactly what I have done.
[Atlan grabs the back of Dr. Plaxton's neck and holds a gun to her head]
Atlan : You will start modification work on the spacedrive *now*, Doctor Plaxton. If you refuse, I will tell the Space Rats that you are depriving them of speed, and I will let them deal with you... in their own fashion.
